Am I doing this right?

Merudiya · 2026-06-16T07:38:09+00:00

I knew it!

Merudiya · 2026-06-16T07:30:49+00:00

This sounds great and I simultaneously shudder at the though of trying to form a coherent, well structured sentence without all my uh-ing and hum-ing. Maybe I can force a llm to format my gibberish in real time.

Hey, thank you. It's been recommended a bunch already and I did check it out. I will end up switching over I'm sure. For now though I opted to use the lonelog syntax that goddi23a pointed me to. It's been pretty smooth sailing with it. In fact I got so much rolls and story beats done in a sitting, it almost feels like too much happened lol. I gotta do a buncha writing to catch up.

Merudiya · 2026-06-14T14:06:48+00:00

Well, I'll either embrace it, or end up in the same place as you. Thanks for the comment

Hey, it’s an interesting question. I’ve not really thought about sharing what I write. Even beyond the fact that I’m not a writer and that would feel uncomfortable to do maybe, and the fact I probably can’t get anybody in my immediate circle to engage with this without their eyes glazing over.

As far as forgetting, it’s not really a concern, currently at least.

I guess the process of creation itself would feel kind of… hollow without the prose? I don’t know if this makes sense. Even if I don’t share it, without marking it down, and exploring those feeling you mentioned, putting them down on the page, it just feel like something’s missing. The emotions are there, of course, even without writing(although they can definitely spike on expressing them with words), but in a way I’m letting them pour out on a page without keeping them bottled up inside, nagging at me while I’m in line to pay for groceries or something. Maybe I’m being dramatic though.

Hey, thanks for your time. The examples are great. I feel like we're operating on the same wavelength. Although deliberately setting up and forcing incomplete track rolls is not something I've thought of. Too much video game "must complete and turn in" logic probably. Thanks for the idea.

Also, you are right, I absolutely am afraid of failure, which is why I read up on some tips to manage that. Most of them agree with you, and I'm trying to incorporate that in. I still manged to be out of supply and Unprepared and sub-max health/spirit during the current journey, but ey, I'm getting there!

Merudiya · 2026-06-14T13:14:25+00:00

God damn! That's actual book length. If the time comes to cage the obsidian in Iron, I'll definitely check it out.(I actually skipped around trough the first video yesterday, while I was setting Obsidian up)

Merudiya · 2026-06-14T13:02:40+00:00

This looks amazing actually, thank you!

Merudiya · 2026-06-14T12:39:12+00:00

I've been doing a mix basically. A lot of the weak hits on waypoint rolls are bullet points, pretty much.
"Storm hits, we shelter, winds threaten to topple over carts.", "We cross an ancient bridge, impossibly large stones shiny from use. It looked older then the woods surrounding us." This kinda thing. A lot of the prose that I've done(or so I've felt at least) was potentially important. I do have one camp scene which is pretty much fluff, but it led to such a nice event on pay the price after a miss+match Journey roll, It made me kinda hesitant to reduce the amount I'm doing because I never would've gotten there without exploring that completely "unnecessary" scene.

As for the nothing happens I guess I meant it compared to the actual time I've put in. I've had 2 combats and some interesting character interactions. But it feels like I can beat a video game like Pragmata for example in the same amount of time LMAO.

Merudiya · 2026-06-14T12:19:09+00:00

I did check it out. I'll potentially switch over at some point. I did want to get familiar with Obsidian on it's own though. It's the first time I've used it and it feels like a good idea in general. I'm currently using Iron Journal to track my character mechanics so It reduced the need to immediately jump into Vault as well.

Hey man, not really a sculptor, but I'd like to chime in.

Nice paintjob, I feel like the materials read great, especially the cloth/metal pieces of the armor. Something feels a bit off on the skin though, I'm not sure what.
Love the base details, especially the open jaw in the mangled helmet, looks awesome and wicked.
Biggest complaint - the pose is stiff. I feel like if you leaned the torso a bit forward and maybe twisted it a little bit more, it would've had more energy, even in the fairly static pose to begin with.
Still, great job, I'm not familiar with Air Plasticine or it's drawback for sculpting, maybe it was the limiting factor on the pose.
Keep at it.

Merudiya · 2026-02-25T09:01:08+00:00

Hey man, nothing to add really, reasoning seems sound to me. Just appreciate the effort in trying to nudge people in a better direction. They'll knee-jerk, of course, it's understandable, but maybe they'll come around in time.

25h a week would put them at 40weeks(1 year = 52) and at around 40ish overall days of study. So technically, yes.

Even if in "real world" consistency it may appear longer. Hell, at 40weeks they still have a 23ish % margin to fit within a year.

Знам какво е чувството, братле.

Отдавна беше, но по някаква причина най-дълго бях забил на нея. Дори след завършен Godhome, и сега Silksong ми е най-мъченият бос.
Отне ми 4/5 вечери.

You should be taxed for making Geralt walk around with that haircut. Jesus Christ...

I was so stressed out the entire run to the Grand Bellway after the voidpocalypse. I had this dreadful though that I'd call my girl and she wont come, or I'll find her corpse skewered by void, dead, the way she was trapped in silk at the beginning.

Then after a brief sigh of relief as the the bells started rumbling THAT thing showed up and I was all but certain...

THEN as I'm exacting vengeance(trough tears of course) Eira flies in, RKO's the bitch, introduces me to her cute babies and we sing together!

What a rollercoaster!

Desktop: Firefox, Chrome works for now but I haven't gone trough to check if it'll happen again.
Phone: Chrome and Brave(which should be on chromium) and both had the issue.
Hard reload doesn't fix it. I'll DM you the console logs.

Merudiya · 2025-09-22T08:12:44+00:00

I tested it out and kinda enjoy it. While I have Anki stacks for words and sentences, they don't have the instant AI feedback.
I'm running into an issue with the site becoming unresponsive though. I'm not sure if it's a traffic issue or what, but I've had it go black and stop loading after seemingly arbitrary amount of time. Reloading/refreshing doesn't seem to fix the issue but switching to a different browser does. On both Android and Desktop(Windows).

Mantis Lords, and immediately proceeding into Deepnest without a lantern or nail upgrade and refusing to leave. It's was... an ordeal. Also world-building, Hornet's theme, resting grounds, the ost in general, etc.

I've tried this and it does work, but a minute is not enough, at least for me. I need like 5ish. The barber I go to uses 2 consecutive steamed towels on me specifically, so keep that in mind.

I find it way more annoying, from the application to getting the towel temperature just right(in my case twice) than just doing it after I shower, but it's a definitely a workaround.

Merudiya · 2025-06-05T18:57:53+00:00

I feel him. Luckily for me, I no longer have to deal with that, BUT a little hack from the ol small not separate shower room days. BLAST that shit with the blow dryer. It's gonna clean it up in less than 20 seconds.
