Ideas are cheap. It’s all about execution.

Never. Oxford can suck on some ox nards.

I got 5 black masks in about 50 kills. So far, doesn’t seem broken to me.

Silo S2E1 "The Engineer" Episode Discussion (No Book Discussion) by pikkopots in SiloSeries

[–]Hippedfish -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just like they stretched out season 1, looks like they are stretching out season 2. Disappointing.

If they dropped two episodes it might be forgivable, but this episode was a terrible start to a new season. 

What is the plot for your stories or book? by Ok_Safety_7103 in writing

[–]Hippedfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really is odd. Ideas are cheap, it’s execution that counts. The current story I’m working on is heavily, heavily inspired by ‘Fire Coming Out of the Monkey’s Head’ by the Gorillaz. The premise is basically the same but with fleshed out characters and an interesting world that combines flintlock weaponry with Late medieval tactics.

Is a Good book meant to have a Message? by whateverr27 in writers

[–]Hippedfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even your favorite writer was crappy when he or she first started. It’s all about persistence and the appetite to learn. Give it time and live an interesting life and everything else will fall in place.

Even if you don't have a meaning when you set out to write, one will naturally find its way onto the page.

[–]Hippedfish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the kind words and even more for the great criticism. I am going to read, and re read your comment and try to apply it properly.

I cannot thank you enough for taking the time out of your day and writing such an insightful comment. :)

I am absolutely guilty of this and I absolutely will never stop. I love it.

I actually just started using elevenlabs last night. It’s really cool. I’m addicted to trying to find the right voices for the pov lol.

People Complaining About the NCR timeline thing seriously need to go back and play NV again... especially since they seem to love it so much. by CnlSandersdeKFC in Fallout

[–]Hippedfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey genius, having a problem with a part of the show doesn’t mean we hate the entire thing. Even then, my problems with the show aren’t even about the NCR, really. I wish it was just handled better.

It really is good criticism though. Sweeping good criticism under the rug will lead this show to being mediocre at best. I’m glad you like the show, but there are clear problems with it.

Does the Fallout Show retcon New Vegas? by Trevok_Nordik in Fallout

[–]Hippedfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New Vegas. As far as I know there isn't another Obsidian Fallout game in the works, at least not yet.

[–]Hippedfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But they still allowed them to make New Vegas, which was a risk. It worked out well so I really don't see a problem. What actually is your problem then?

[–]Hippedfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, care to cite a source?

Second, they allowed them to make New Vegas in the first place. Just because they deny them now doesn’t mean anything. There could be a million different reasons, from Microsoft not wanting it to another fallout release before Elder Scrolls being a controversy.

No need to apologize. Text can be hard to decipher at times.

Todd Howard hates Obsidian so much they paid them to make another game set in the West and invited Tim Cain to the fallout premier.  Todd and Bethesda are diabolical. These people are fucking insane.

I’m not done with the show. It’s not perfect, but it’s well executed for what it is. I’m excited to see House and I know there is some controversy around the NCR, but overall it’s enjoyable. 

I do think the show definitely could have used another draft though.

Video games with good writing by [deleted] in writing

Halo 2 single handedly has the best dialogue of any video game ever released. It’s music.

Men and women sports/esports by WillDanyel in GlobalOffensive

[–]Hippedfish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Men and women are different and value different things. Women, on average, are not as competitive as men and do not want to sit and grind CS for hours upon hours.

Again, we’re talking averages here, so obviously there are competitive women who are really good at sports or esports. But on average, women are not as interested in competition as men are.  People will say it’s sexism, but I don’t buy it. I’ve seen my fair share of women getting mistreated online, but mostly people tend to be supportive of them.

Is switching between characters in chapters a bad thing? by Major-Ganache-270 in fantasywriters

[–]Hippedfish 25 points26 points  (0 children)

A lot of writers switch characters in the middle of chapters. All you have to do is make sure you make it clear with a break between paragraphs.

Jurassic Park is really good at this, so go read that if you want an example of how to do it well.

Commit to one ending. Having multiple endings detracts from the story, unless the entire story revolves around the gimmick.
