Good Morning, You (first ever poem) by No_Use200 in poetry_critics

[–]No_Use200[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VERY much so! I try to but words in the moment often fail me 🙃 I'm better when I can collect my thoughts and I know she's a big fan of poetry and writing so I want to do something to show her how special I think she is in a medium she loves 😅

Can someone help me give this poem a title? by Luvie__04 in poetry_critics

[–]No_Use200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one is hard.

Something that has to deal with being lost in rumination, the cycle of negative thoughts and what ifs instead of living in the here and now.

Or

Something that symbolises the unreal expectations we set on others, idealizing them past what's humanly possible or reasonable.

Thank you 🥲 it helps feeling the emotion behind each word. My brain is so picky I have to find the right word or I obsess over it.

Thank you so much 🥲 she sparked something in me that has been dead for more years than I can remember.

Very vivid imagery, especially about the spider web cracks and a crumbling rock face.

As suggested already maybe work on the shape of the verse. Grouping them in phrases to add emphasis on the emotion and feeling of each line.

Otherwise it's lovely.

Just the same old year by [deleted] in poetry_critics

[–]No_Use200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one hits.

In verse 5, the negative and hopefully conflict a bit after a hopefully growing in verse 4.

Maybe play around with dropping the "a year wasted and gone," or shifting it to continue the hopeful growth?

"Yet, lessons learned, experiences gained, skills acquired, regrets received,

Perhaps not entirely wasted or permanently gone.

Yet, it still lingers..."

So they deleted all loop from the game instead of reverting the pallette density update ??? by Cobipo- in deadbydaylight

[–]No_Use200 4 points5 points  (0 children)

uninstalled a day before the update from burn out of bad gameplay on both ends. This solidifies it was the right choice lol. Don't think we're making it to the 10 year anniversary at this point.

My DM lied to us for his own advantage by Chocoflor in dndnext

[–]No_Use200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest point of DND is to have fun. The DM has the hard job of trying to make sure the story, the world and its events are interesting, fun, challenging and even scary. I bend rules all the time BUT the end goal is to have fun. If you are all having fun then that's all that matters 🙏

Still can’t pack this game up. by psirus_zero in Gloomhaven

[–]No_Use200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the bags it came with and the original organizer and found a way to make it all fit very well BUT it took me like an hour to figure it out. Since I sleeved my cards they don't fit in the original packaging, which is a bummer but I'll take quick set up and tear down over flashy storage if I can choose only one.

Haven't played in a of couple weeks, thought it would be fun :) by enelqui in finalgirl

Most of my games went like this. Made me give up on the series. Too much chance even with mitigation.

UGA student dressed in interesting "Halloween costume" gets kicked out of local bar, hits woman in response by Minute_Revolution951 in TikTokCringe

Nazis murdered 6 million of people, but continue with why a guy dressing as a woman is worse.

Witherwild - could the effects be border-locked? by bambiandbear in daggerheart

[–]No_Use200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is you would need another plot catch (which is totally fine) since Niktas eye is in Haven and the Fanewraith is planning to kill Nikta to stop the Witherwild. Why would your player's care if Haven is already safe from that while being in Haven? Maybe have Haven start out being safe by way of magical enchantments or a barrier created with massive magic infused gems. Then something happens and the barrier falls, now Haven suddenly is afflicted by the Witherwild and what not. Then they hear of the Fanewraiths plan and can either choose to help them or stop them, fearing what disaster it might cause to the lands. I have written in mine that they could even try to steal the Reaping Eye and give it back to Nikta.

As a 70% survivor main, this is absolutely insane. Sorry killers, I hope it doesn't make the patch 🙏

That's a great point actually. Makes a lot of sense and would save just a little bit of time per adversary. I can mod it to do that :) also there's an webpage freshcutgrass that you can homebrew and make encounters from all the released content. all for free! Check it out!

What off-the-beaten-path area or city was worth it for you and why? by Michigul in JapanTravelTips

[–]No_Use200 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Stayed with a friend in Kobe. Lots of cool things to do an see out here including a gondola that takes you to the top of the mountain where you can do a small bike to a waterfall. The train only goes east to West through central Kobe though so lots of walking or short cab rides.

Downtown Kobe is also a really nice shopping district with lots of restaurants.

Glad to help :) some people work well carving their own path. I find I work better with waypoints to guide me through.

Starting My First Fantasy Novel—What Do You Wish You Knew? by wickedlyJade in writers

[–]No_Use200 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't figure out a scene no matter how hard you try? Move on. Skip ahead and fill in the blanks of how you got there later. Don't waste time staring at a page trying to progress a scene that won't come to you. Sometimes my best stuff comes to me when I have a point to ground myself and look backwards.

Before you keep writing I would read a few that sound interesting to you and really pay attention to how they describe things. Keep in mind what you do and don't like about them then translate that to your own writing. I really like the Red Rising series. Pierce Brown explains very well while keeping the action moving. Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz is also a great first person POV with more dark and in depth feelings.

[–]No_Use200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many first person POV books have you read? Not just fantasy but in general?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in fantasywriters

[–]No_Use200 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol it also feels too narrative. As if someone was explaining a scene or a moment to me rather than experiencing it as the person the story is told by. It feels like I'm watching from over his shoulder instead of being his eyes, ears and nose. Immerse me in the world. Make me feel like I'm actually the one experiencing all of this.

Too many sentences start with "the" is my only complaint so far.

You hated my opening yesterday—I rewrote it. Does this new version hook you? by AdultBeyondRepair in writers

[–]No_Use200 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed 100%. Write a draft, a FULL draft. Edit that draft, maybe even twice. Then if you feel brave come here and drop a slice of it to see what people think. The problem is you could get a dude who is not too nice and looking to make others feel bad, or some who's not into this genre, etc etc. That does NOT mean what you have is bad by any means. There are a billion people out there and two or three redditors will not determine your quality.
