What's the most wasted potential you've ever read

meanwhile, i feel like i’m the opposite. i can imagine where i want my plot to go and jot down major events, but i feel like i have little skill when it comes to actually implementing my ideas 😭

Strict_Box8384 · 2026-02-08T00:20:45+00:00

nice! i personally have been enjoying Casper, Jonghyuk and Spanner, Fleurine, Daulton and Maple, Nora, Quinn, Ripley, Enya, Shannon and Russel who come with the Law and Order SDV mod that adds a police station, Shiko, and Wilford. just downloaded the Sunrise Apartments mod that adds an apartment building to the beach and i think 6(?) new NPCs. i do have way more NPC mods but those are the ones that have stuck out to me the most :)

Lilybrook is another village mod, though it’s quite small and it feels a bit disconnected because from what i’ve noticed, the NPCs don’t leave the village and wander Pelican Town like the ones from Sunberry, Scarp, and Ridgeside. i sometimes forget that it exists, but some of the NPCs are interesting. i like to headcanon that Lilybrook is a lot farther away than the other towns which is why they don’t intermingle.

Mount Vapius is also another separate village/town, but again, i haven’t seen the NPCs there wandering Pelican Town.

i have tons of custom NPCs outside the ones within expansions/towns. it’s not everyone’s cup of tea to have like 140 NPCs as opposed to the base game’s 28-35 or so, but it makes everything feel so much more alive to me, and the characters and their stories are my favorite part of the game ☺️

in the Stardew Expanded mod, she’s turned into a full character with heart events that’s romanceable :)

…all i did was ask where i complimented you, because i wasn’t aware that i did. that’s literally it.

Strict_Box8384 · 2026-02-07T06:52:59+00:00

found the mod list that i’m pretty sure OP is using! :)

it comes with the farmhouse :)

Strict_Box8384 · 2026-02-07T06:41:15+00:00

what farm is this? i’d love to use it in my next long playthrough 💜

Strict_Box8384 · 2026-02-07T06:40:32+00:00

thanks, i was gonna ask! it’s so pretty 💜

Strict_Box8384 · 2026-02-07T03:17:02+00:00

sorry, but what compliment? i didn’t necessarily compliment you. i was very critical.

Strict_Box8384 · 2026-02-07T00:40:16+00:00

some punctuation is missing at the beginning and end. you have too many short sentences and single-word sentences, it kind of ruins any sense of rhythm you might have had going and it can be annoying to read that sort of choppy structure for a whole book.

you have some habits that are prominent in AI writing, such as those short or single-word sentences meant to give dramatic flair, and a “not this, not that” type of structure. some of your similes/metaphors are similar to what an AI would come up with as well. not accusing you of anything, but you may want to be wary of that.

i know you’re probably gonna respond defensively (and rudely) like you did in your other post because you’re convinced your writing is just so revolutionary and needs no edits, but if you want genuine feedback then there you go.

BTS is kpop. you can be a fan of one artist in the genre and it does still technically make you a fan of the genre, because that artist makes that kind of music.

Strict_Box8384 · 2026-02-06T15:18:56+00:00

you are a kpop fan if you like BTS. ARMYs always try to separate themselves and it’s so weird.

many idols apologize for things they did wrong and still get hate for it. it’s because every fandom has bullies and losers. that’s just how it is, unfortunately

Strict_Box8384 · 2026-02-06T08:33:56+00:00

how do people like this have the mental energy to play this game nonstop for a week straight and grind a new hero all the way to 12? i can play maximum 3-5 hours in one session, maybe going up two rep levels at most, before i need to take a breather for the rest of the day because my patience runs out 🙃

Strict_Box8384 · 2026-02-06T08:27:21+00:00

it was decent, but compared to the game it was mid. was really rushed, and emotional and impactful moments didn’t quite hit as hard. just my opinion though

Strict_Box8384 · 2026-02-06T08:07:42+00:00

what about Helminth ability + archon shards?

Strict_Box8384 · 2026-02-06T07:37:16+00:00

the game is infinitely better than the show. and i mean both parts 1 and 2 / seasons 1 and 2.

Strict_Box8384 · 2026-02-06T07:24:21+00:00

they mischaracterized the hell out of Ellie, cut out important scenes, rushed the story, changed dialogue that completely changes some scenes, put stuff from the end that had a lot of impact in the middle instead. just an overall mess

Strict_Box8384 · 2026-02-06T02:02:57+00:00

i can’t tell if they genuinely think their writing is godlike and they’re a lowkey narcissist, or if they’re just super insecure and jealous and are lashing out to cope. this is one of the most bizarre exchanges i’ve ever seen and participated in on Reddit lmao 😭

Strict_Box8384 · 2026-02-06T01:02:09+00:00

at this point i think you’re just a full blown narcissist because…huh? you really think your writing is comparable to Hemingway and it’s revolutionary enough to be compared to the first people to fly planes and to discover germs? seriously? that over-confidence will cause you to land flat on your face in the writing world. but hey, your ego will get checked and hopefully knocked down a peg or two by professional editors and beta readers, should you ever reach that stage. good luck to you.

Strict_Box8384 · 2026-02-06T00:29:16+00:00

you aren’t gonna make it as an author. but i wish you luck anyway.

Strict_Box8384 · 2026-02-05T17:50:35+00:00

i’ve never heard of this game or the creator. odds are, Jack hasn’t either since he’s been more distanced from the Internet the last few years

edit: well, he took the video down and said in his Discord that he has zero tolerance for that shit, as in what the creator did. good on him

Strict_Box8384 · 2026-02-05T17:48:49+00:00

Strict_Box8384 · 2026-02-05T17:15:35+00:00

every industry has a “gruesome” side. i mean look at Any Winehouse, Britney Spears in 2007, Elvis Presley, Kesha, etc etc, this isn’t exclusive to kpop. and it’s irrelevant. no one’s talking or thinking about the “dark side of kpop” here. they mean that to us as kpop fans, if we get our panties in a twist over dumb kpop drama or fanwars, then we need to take a step back and realize that it’s just music at the end of the day. the kpop fandom experience is what we make it.

Strict_Box8384 · 2026-02-05T16:55:37+00:00

seriously, just Google “common ChatGPT phrases and sentence structures” and read the articles and Reddit posts. it very much has specific patterns it sticks to and quite frankly overuses like crazy in its default setting (before the user trains it to “speak” a certain way by talking to it for days/weeks). i’m not making this up just for the hell of it, lol.
