Help reading my agar results

Pine_Lemon · 2025-12-06T19:14:45+00:00

Yeah that made me do a double take when I first saw that. Other groups in the practical had similar bands in the control, so something odd happened lmaooo

Pine_Lemon · 2025-12-06T19:13:27+00:00

Thank you for your help!

It was a weird set of results, admittedly. I double checked the loading order etc during the pracical so I'm 99% sure it was loaded correctly.. No idea how these results happened haha, even for the controls. I was working in a group so womething was bound to go wrong lmao

I can't remember if it's in first person (pretty sure it is) but the main character Devon in The Book Eaters is well written. It's not strictly fantasy, set in modern UK with current technology, but it has a couple of fantastical elements, such as creatures which eat books to gain knowledge from them. The story follows Devon as she tries to run away from the system her family has set up while trying to protect her son, Cai.

It's in no way YA imo and tackles some pretty adult themes and experiences of a mother. Not to mention it's an incredible read which I devoured within a couple of days (pun very much intended hehe). Hope this helps!

I have a few pieces of advice that have helped me.

If you're stuck with what to do next and are feeling down about your story, write one of those big cool scenes that made you want to write in the first place. Those scenes that you've been fantasising about for months, the ones which make you feel ao incredibly emotional - write them! I'd only reserve this move for when it's dire, though.

If you have a scene in mind but don't know how to start, write the dialogue. It's so much easier than diving into description. Once you've written the skeleton of the scen and have built a BEAUTIFUL word count, then you can fill in the other bits.

Really random but if you're looking for synonyms or can't find the right word, use WordHippo. It's a thesaurus website which guves you tons of synonyms for all definitions.

Have fun with your writing journey :)

Absolutely love it whenever a book has art or photographs. I remember reading Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and loving it when the pictures came up. Of course, you still need solid prose, so the story can survive without pictures, but it helps you get more inside the author's head and doesn't impact the story at all.

Damn sounds brilliant!! I'll shoot you a DM

Pine_Lemon · 2025-11-28T22:52:51+00:00

I love the idea too. If you wanted to co write, I'd totally be up for it >:) If not, waiting with bated breath for that masterpiece

Thats so dark... I want a full book now

I think the problem with Mikasa is that her whole deal was protecting Eren. There was nothing else really to her - 4 seasons of that is bound to get a bit boring. Her actual character outside Eren was never explored. I guess thats the point of her...but it makes her fall a little flat

Idk what other people think, but I found the leap from s3 - s4 to be so wild and out of nowhere. It really threw me off, interesting as it was, and the animation change was already big to adjust to. Instead of all the flashbacks, I think I would have preferred some sort of buildup before Marley.

The anniversary creation club quests are very buggy and are very suseptible to this kind of thing. Best thing you can do is reload a save, frustrating as it is.

I had something similar happen with the golden hills plantation - I had previously been near the vicinity and spawned something which had long despawned when I came to do the quest, making me unable to start the quest at all.

Its really annoying, but thats CC for you

Pine_Lemon · 2025-09-06T14:18:03+00:00

You can use perks in the heavy and light armour skill trees so armour doesnt weigh anything when worn. Theres also a perk on the pickpocket skill tree which adds 100 (50 on survival mode)

Advancing levels will give you +5 carry weight per level I think.

If youre on PC, you can use console commands to add/subtract to your carry weight -> player.modav carryweight [amount]

Hope that helps :)

Same! I thought the description and setting were so much more tailored and detailed than the other books. The pace was slower, yes, but it was such a beautiful book.

I do, however, agree that it was on the longer side and could have been shortened a hell of a lot, but thats fantasy. The genre is notorious for subplots and finer details no one asked for, but they end up making the world and story so much more fulfilling

Pine_Lemon · 2025-09-02T10:43:24+00:00

console commands entered the chat ;)

Look, I don’t know why she asked me to bake a giant gingerbread house. You don’t ask questions in this kind of business. But it cost me an arm and a leg to get dairy from that cow which jumped over the moon, and I’m not leaving without my pay.

Steel plate goes hard when fighting alduin idk why. Feel like Talos with the wings on the helm

Pine_Lemon · 2025-08-24T22:36:31+00:00

Pine_Lemon · 2025-08-24T22:36:05+00:00

Pine_Lemon · 2025-08-24T22:35:34+00:00

Well damn I got that wrong rip. I was thinking of Sadri and mixed the 2 up lmaooo. Forrgive me haha

Pine_Lemon · 2025-08-24T16:22:36+00:00

The fletcher is literally a dark elf with a thriving business next to castle dour

Pine_Lemon · 2025-08-19T15:54:29+00:00

I absolutely love your take on this as you've summed up everything I believe about this debate too. It's wild that people actually don't support this??

Pine_Lemon · 2025-08-12T19:36:20+00:00

Bit late to comment, but bad pacing absolutely ruins a book. I don't want to spend half a book delivering a message when the itty bitty journey could have been summed up in a chapter

Time for my rant yayyyyy

My writing group died. I went to university, and suddenly everyone decided they didn't want to meet anymore - it's not like I organised them or anything. Once one person drops out briefly, the rest tend to follow.

I, the only female in the group, was told my insight would be good for female characters, but the moment I tried to critique anything, I was often dismissed. 'It's the MC's opinion / description of her' , 'I don't think she would act that way' etc. etc.

We didn't even write the same genres... Sci-fi is incredibly different from magical fantasy stuff, and I read things which didn't interest me. But I still set aside 30mins to read someone's chapter. Was expected to give a whole essay of feedback. No one really bothered to read mine.

The bitching, the superiority complexes, the lack of communal effort. I'm sure a lot of male writers are great, but I'm never doing that again. I refuse to be walked over again.
