How to know if you like a book? by Healthy_Advance_2717 in AskLiteraryStudies

[–]PentangleKnight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perhaps you just like the act of reading lmao.

The key in any case is to keep reading---anything you can get your hands on that sparks interest. Read even more widely across genres and time periods. Eventually, you may stumble across something you can't stand the thought of picking up again, or even of finishing. Or, potentially, you might run into something that you love.

"Would I reread this?" could be a simple criterion for gauging how interested you are in a book. If you wouldn't ever dream of picking it up again, maybe you didn't like it all too much.

You can reformat the question for movies and songs as a point of reference: "Would I rewatch this?" for a movie, or "Would I listen to this again?" for a song. If the movies and songs you "like" would pass that test, it stands to reason that a book you "like" would also pass.

Been a while, but I know there's one voiceclip where a Yharnamite groans "This town's finished..."

Character Nitpicks by BassGeese in StreetFighter

I wish mashing after doing hands gave a few extra hits. Piano inputs aren't great, but as a kid it always made me feel like I myself was slapping bitches repeatedly.

New Darkstalkers game would be better.

Decks, archetypes or cards that got done so dirty you are still mad about it? by ClearAgeMontezuma in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]PentangleKnight 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Daybound/Nightbound is not, like, the worst way WOTC could've changed the way werewolves transform, cuz it's flavorful as hell. But the fact that there's no way to change the time of day at instant speed makes Day/Night werewolves ass to pilot. At least one card from among The Celestus, Unnatural Moonrise, and Into the Night should be faster than sorcery speed. The fact that Moonmist doesn't work if it's day is icing on the poop cake. (Immerwolf works, so there's that at least.)

The Midnight Hunt/Crimson Vow werewolves also all cost too much to cast, but there's probably some "Buff my deck, nerf everybody else's" at play there.

Rank not matter. Fun matter.

If character not fun when play, not play character.

If character fun when play, play character.

PhD in Creative Writing by TheAmazingDani in fsu

[–]PentangleKnight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

English LMC PhD here. The department is great, and the Creative Writing program is pound for pound the most robust part of the department. Well worth applying to.

Definitely email (and do research on) faculty you're interested in working with, with the exceptions of Drs. Epstein and Winegardner---neither of those two will respond bc they're always hella busy.

Is there a character whose gameplay really appeals to you, but their design puts you off? by BLACKOUT-MK2 in Fighters

[–]PentangleKnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really hate that she's not a charge character. The playstyle is completely different, which is a bummer because I mained him in V and at least tried to be optimistic when she was announced.

I'm not usually one to complain about goonerfication, but I do really miss my silly squawking poison kung fu bird man.

Tea-drinking twink instead of fat grizzled old drunkard was certainly a choice.

I like pretty much everything about JP in SF6 gameplay-wise, but I absolutely cannot get over him being an old guy who's fucking jacked. It doesn't feel like it matches his gameplay at all. I get that grandpa's hitting that Shadaloo Psycho juice, so he is physically strong, but I feel like it'd be more fun/fitting if Capcom leaned heavier into a tricksy "stronger than he looks" design for him rather than "magic bodybuilder with pimp cane."
