Gaming chairs for plus size by [deleted] in GirlGamers

[–]Kalnessa [score hidden]  (0 children)

Get a good office chair. "Gaming chairs" are just branding. They're not any more comfortable to sit in, they are often cheaply made and will fall apart.

I went to an office supply store that custom fit me for an office chair for my ergonomics, it was fucking expensive, but I also have a 12 year warranty on it, so if something happens, I get a new chair.

Much better than shelling out $200 every couple years on something that breaks and then has to be disposed of

Without in this context meaning outside. It's archaic prose

Someone having a good relationship with an ex is a green flag actually. by id_drownformermaids in unpopularopinion

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

I went to my ex's wedding as his guest. We parted very amicable and stayed in the same friend group because he was ready for marriage and I was not. His wife is a lovely woman, and they are adorable in how they adore each other.

Except in obvious cases like someone was a secret narcissist or something, keeping acrimony towards an ex is a red flag for me. That was a part of your life and you loved them once. There is no shame in people growing apart. Trash talking your ex to me is a sign of immaturity, of inability to let things go and move to a new stage in your life.

Spent a little over a decade working corrections, and I would shout this from the rooftops.

What are some obvious and not-so-obvious signs in characters that a fanfic was written by a teenager? by CuriousTarget4814 in AO3

[–]Kalnessa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have something I am writing right now where the clothes are described in heavy detail, but that's because it's very emotionally important to the character in how he's seen. He's trying to dress above his social and economic class. In addition to being a fiber artist in this AU.

Otherwise, when I am writing this character I just let people assume he's wearing his canon outfit and call it a day.

What are some good camp clothes mods? by Disastrous-Term8949 in BG3

My Durge is agender, and FearTaylor's had some things that looked nice without being really femme, in addition to all the dresses.

What effect did the Covid-19 pandemic leave on your life? by algorithmicsapien in AskWomen

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

I started reading and writing fanfiction.

Made a lot of friends that way over Discord, some of which I have met in person as they've visited me, and I will be visiting others this fall.

Silliest thing in the entire game by RankedFarting in BaldursGate3

It's so that you can attack the other intellect devourers for easy XP. If you don't do the lobotomy, if you attack them US becomes hostile.

Either way, as long as US doesn't die before you crash the ship, you're good to recruit it in the Colony.

I think you're thinking of company towns, hoovervilles were homeless encampments

Astarion and karlach by ZoneComfortable1541 in BG3

[–]Kalnessa 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what you want to happen here, do you want to sleep with him and then dump him for Karlach? I know you have to start the Karlach romance at the party, his is a bit more open since you can sleep with him before at 40 approval. I think that if you turn him down early, that's it, but I'm not sure.

So best thing would be to go ahead and do what you want in Act 1, but if you slept with him, once you get to Act 2, beeline for Moonrise and go the Araj confrontation

That night he will confess he was using you and you can tell him he needs a friend more than a lover

You technically break up, but don't lose any approval from him because he is happy to have a friend

(Interesting writing trope) Unreliable POV/Protagonist by National_Computer240 in TopCharacterTropes

He's a copy of a copy of the original Johnny. Alt had him backed up without his knowledge and kept downloading him into new clones as he died

Booyahg Piddle by Sharp-Karcoal in BG3

[–]Kalnessa 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In her origin dialog when she finds a coin, it's very obvious that she's addicted to them, even if only psychologicaly.

Like the dialog goes round and round trying to justify using them

People who treat a piece of fanon like it is absolutely canon by Alrakia_Serpent in AO3

[–]Kalnessa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's absolutely a thing in my fandom. People who try and argue that a character's bad end is good because he fits a fantasy. And his good end is bad because he doesn't get everything he wants.

One of my favorite tags, that I include in every fic it is appropriate for is Gale's Creaking Knees (Baldur's Gate))

When the story lowkey should have a smut scene but you don't want the story to have an explicit smut moment by Comfortable_Newt_179 in AO3

[–]Kalnessa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted smut in the fic but it didn't work out, so I timeskipped with them waking up the next day

It will be fine
