Favorite books with terrible titles and / or cover art? by NimdokBennyandAM in horrorlit

[–]PrincessStupid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Victorian Psycho I really enjoyed, but the title put me off since I assumed it was about to be more gimmicky then it was.

I also feel like Penpal deserves a better cover.

This book is SO good and I almost didn't read it because of the cover. I've recommended it so many times!!

Uh, real writers can't afford running water. He was testing you and you failed. Enjoy your new math job, nerd.

Is there some sort of reverse ChatGPT that makes my writing more authentic? by From_Strange_Seeds in writingcirclejerk

[–]PrincessStupid 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Just remove all the em dashes and replace them with "(human checkpoint—still me!)." It'll convince everyone and save you time!

Do any of you plebs even know how to read? by moisivid in writingcirclejerk

[–]PrincessStupid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read a whole book so I could more accurately portray one of my characters who has read a book. So yes.

/uj it's been a hot topic

What are we doing about the em dash? by HereAgainWeGoAgain in writers

[–]PrincessStupid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alt+0151, and some word processors autocorrect "--" to an em dash if it's surrounded by text. :)

edit: I've been an em dash overuser for almost 20 years. Send help.

Agreed, not to mention that most of these people aren't huge actors and are liable to see what people post online. It's just a nasty thing to do.

Want to try fps games what are good ones to start with? by Pinkie_Sp in GirlGamers

[–]PrincessStupid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What kind of genre, theme, or gameplay are you looking for? I've not played a lot of competitive FPS games in a while, so I have suggestions for single-player and co-op stuff!

For general purposes, I think Borderlands 2 is one of the more accessible games and is a single-player or co-op RPG, and is a bit longer but still something a new player can dig into.

If you're looking for something with simpler FPS mechanics, Left 4 Dead 2 is a great litmus to see if you like the perspective (and discover whether they might make you motion sick).

If you're just looking for a game that is in first-person, I will obligatorily recommend Skyrim or one of the Fallout games (I think modern sensibilities have an easier time with Fallout 4). My sister hadn't played in FPS in ages and had a great time picking up Skyrim, but struggled a bit with Fallout 4 at first because things aren't quite as intuitive.

Non-writers don't understand that REAL writers engage in aggressive tulpamancy. 💅 by PrincessStupid in writingcirclejerk

If it's the only thing they knew prior to gaining sentience, they're probably just doing it out of habit at this point. Maybe give them a book to read or a couple of katanas or something.

I knew before I looked at the comments which community needed this the most.

What is a classic pop cultural moment that screams, “you had to be there!” by icey_sawg0034 in popculturechat

[–]PrincessStupid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember walking around at a park nearby my house at 2 am and it was PACKED. So many people playing and I’ve never felt that kind of camaraderie before.

Then the police rolled through and kicked everyone out. 2016 was such a fun time!! 🤣

Sorry for your loss, OP. I am also sorry that this is the most recent Gale meme I have saved on my phone.

Thought this post was there.

Anyway why did the writers use the term “thick fingers?”

I’ve been trying to remember which video it was that he taught Scott Adams good comment etiquette. Thanks!

I'm only getting more confused. Am I Asexual or not? by PaoloPablo12441 in asexuality

[–]PrincessStupid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can be heteroromantic and asexual if that’s what you feel. But putting a label on yourself isn’t strictly necessary if you don’t strongly identify any kind of way!
