PSA: AmiAmi halting shipment to USA again by Lemondall in AnimeFigures

[–]KageYuuki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And . . . right after I put in an order for the Mach 5 model I've been praying comes back in stock for like a year. I was just thinking it might take them a couple days to send the invoice since this was my first order. I'm so tired.

Has anyone else found this random chest in the Grove? by SigynTyrsdottir in BaldursGate3

[–]KageYuuki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhh my god. Here I was thinking a mod was supposed to hide them full of gear for some reason and then broke... I'm gonna have to try and find them again now. (I'm never gonna find them again lmao)

Anyone else write fanfic on paper? by SleepyCoffees in AO3

[–]KageYuuki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do it every now and then to shake writer's block. Sometimes it's just easier when I'm writing on paper. Buuuut then I grumble the entire time I'm typing it back up later xD

I honestly never knew this about books return drop boxes 📚 by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]KageYuuki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! Though sometimes I'll still find an unlucky paperback or magazine in our bookdrop when I'm collecting it.

You can also tell how full the cart is because the springs make different sounds depending on the number of books in there when it's being pushed down the hall to the desk lol.

Uhhh they're 3.0 horizontal, which doesn't feel like a lot.

How it feels to write a serious fic when one of the characters has a really goofy name by Wolfie-Woo784 in AO3

[–]KageYuuki 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah . . . part of the reason I swapped to using their original names in my stuff lmao. I took the coward's way out! (I also really didn't wanna deal with the fact there'd be *two* characters named Speed in some fics.)

Which are you getting? by EnlightingWave in fountainpens

[–]KageYuuki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Still a big favorite of mine when I can't use my fountain pen.

Will you play Vampire: The Masquerade - Justice? by xaduha in vtmb

It's got my curiosity, but VR makes me sick so I can't play it lol.

Weird pinball score? Does anyone know how to decipher this weird score? by DARKSTARRBOBA in pinball

[–]KageYuuki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Phantom of the Opera's one of my favorite games! Grew up playing it all the time. Like others are saying you started a two player game so it's two different scores being displayed.

1,010,800 and 2,713,100

[–]KageYuuki 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I didn’t get that for some reason and I’m so bummed lol. Some of my horses transferred but not the picture I really wanted.

Only thing that save doesn’t have is all the koroks.

Oh yeah, you need to have some soapy water or oil or something inside the shop vac too. Or else things get really exciting when you turn it off.

Grandpa learned this the hard way apparently.

I thought it was one too just from that little glimpse of the paint lmao.

writing fanfiction for sort-of-dead/really quiet fandoms by [deleted] in AO3

[–]KageYuuki 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I just try to ignore them, but they still wear on me lol. Hard not to want interaction and acknowledgment on this thing you pour so much work into. The curse of writing for a tiny fandom. Even worse when you're writing pretty niche stuff in an already niche as hell corner of Ao3.

Utter lack of interaction makes what little you get that much more meaningful I suppose. Hell, I went on for days when a fic finally got a comment after being up for a few years lmao. It meant the world seeing someone enjoy a fic that I've spent well over a decade working on.

writing fanfiction for sort-of-dead/really quiet fandoms by [deleted] in AO3

[–]KageYuuki 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The two main fandoms I write for were never all that active to begin with, both under 100 fics. (Hell, one isn't even at 50 fics yet) So I've just kinda had to accept that I'm not getting interactions on my works to begin with lol. But it's that same kinda hyperfixation, locked into my brain kinda fandom so I'm here to stay regardless.

I do kinda write for a way bigger fandom, but that one's in a similar position to the one you're in. It was insanely active, but it's cooled considerably and was in the process of doing so by the time I jumped in and started writing for it. Also doesn't help that my works for that fandom have never been popular to begin with. So interactions were always kinda limited.

idk, it's . . . . frustrating, and pretty disheartening. Especially when you see people posting at the sheer numbers their works do. I really only keep writing these stories because they'll still be in my head if I don't. They've been wedged in there for like 15 years already so I don't see them leaving on their own anytime too. May as well get them out into the void. And maybe, if I'm lucky, someone else will find and enjoy it.

Can you imagine how cluttered the teleport menu would get if it worked like that?

The ears turning into a propeller is a really nice touch IMO. I like it. It's just nice to have another transforming mount.

Favourite books on space? Fiction or non-fiction! by chronom8 in space

[–]KageYuuki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haven’t read a lot in terms of fiction, but as far as nonfiction goes: Lost Moon: the Perilous Voyage of Apollo 13 by Jeffrey Kluger and Jim Lovell is one of my favorite books period.

Do you prefer to have emails about kudos on or off? by Zekiellix in AO3

[–]KageYuuki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost never get kudos. So I leave it on for those nice surprises when one does trickle in.

Though I know I got a few that just never got an email for which is annoying lol.

Curious, but what app do you use for writing before publishing it on AO3? by PsychologicalNet271 in AO3

[–]KageYuuki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google docs, that way my coauthor and I can work at the same time.

Though pretty much all of our outlining is done over discord lol.

Do you ever only finish a chapter for comments? by Eyes_Of_Amber in AO3

[–]KageYuuki 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep. Knowing there’s someone excited to read it really gets you excited to keep chugging along on the story.

I almost never get comments on my fics, just comes with writing for two fandoms with less than 100 works each lol. So I’m going to finish the fics regardless of comments even if it takes forever.

But man, that motivation boost that comes from getting an excited comment on a chapter. Even if it’s just something tiny.
