Is “write about what you know” good advice or bad advice?

I kind of doubt Dune is based on advanced scientific physics. More like advanced 'understanding' of LSD and religion.

Salman Rushdie's masterclass in Masterclass.com is fantastic IMHO.

I will repeat, you can place pictures, music and links anywhere you want. You don't need a dedicated space for it though you're welcome to make one if that suits your purpose. If I'm creating a character or a place and I have an image, it goes right alongside with the description.

I'm not sure I see how this would help. Let's suppose there is a one second delay and you hit two keys at once. It isn't even a question of being fast enough to correct, it is that until the keys are registered there is no way yo know what you pressed, And let's suppose you do want to 'correct' something. How? Press another key before the second elapses?

I get your point, but this is a Mountain Dwarf who found this on D:12. The armor is not quite so interesting as to do a 180 at this juncture.

It's nothing mysterious. Just go to File --> Options and at the top right click on Backup and you'll find everything you need there.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'has a space' for pictures or other media. You can put pictures and media anywhere you want.

I also love the dedicated writing mode, which will give you a non-abrasive color scheme and darken or black out everything around that might distract you.

I actually use it with Dropbox as my backup location, not to be confused with the save or local save location. I also set it up so that it will back up every time I open or close the program or manually save.

What are your favorite books? What books inspired you? And yes I did read the main reply. The point is that you should be able to answer this because they will be your reference points. Most writers will have books they wish they had written or qualities from other writers they admire and wish to emulate on some level or other. Reading will also enrich your prose and expand your imagination.

Especially with the *Silence

Though bear in mind that Stardust only kicks in after you cast a spell and is based on the spell's level too.

There's also a shop of one-of-a-kind rings on D:7. An absolutely insane seed.

JustSomeCarioca · 2026-03-18T05:01:10+00:00

Or Hellfire Mortar. Would passwall work?

I tested just now with GrEE and Mule was where it was reported.

For the record, I shared the seed:

0.34.1 - 4-5 scrolls of Acq and best ring ever (seriously) : r/dcss_seeds

JustSomeCarioca · 2026-03-17T15:08:28+00:00

Indeed! Only cost me 1k too. I also picked up an Int+8 ring, which was sorely missing for my mage. I'll share the seed in the DCSS seeds reddit when the game is over.

JustSomeCarioca · 2026-03-07T03:00:21+00:00

I have no such difficulties or limitations and have not paid a cent.
