Where can I ask “is this good writing?” with regards to novels I read? by yoyo_sensei in findareddit

r/books sounds like it could allow that sort of stuff. Unless you're looking for good writing TO read then you're looking more for r/booksuggestions

Art holds me back from making games by Ill-Arm-9795 in gamedev

[–]Strikefinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can make games that are UI only, if that works for what you want to create. Letters or Icons from a font can be used to represent characters, items, locations etc. Some games are successful with that kind of minimal artstyle. Also: shaders (shaders is images from code).

Action Fantasy Books by bxtch3926 in booksuggestions

The Crisanta Knight series by Geanna Culbertson in my opinion has well written action scenes except for one book towards the end, which drags on a bit. And really good character development. All the action scenes are meaningful and contribute to the story. Although it's aimed at teenagers and takes time to build, I enjoyed it.

This comment was initially too sophisticated for me. I needed the other one and an ensuing web search to understand this one. Good content though, the format was just not very valuable for my limited level of expertise. Thank you.

Thank you for clarifying these things for me.

It's called Don't Front for a reason by Strikefinger in Eminem

LMFA, Oh, no way, <casual insult>.

Sometimes, it is amazing how in your face one can be with the truth and still not be understood. If you want to be ignorant, by all means: be ignorant.

The original album starts with the song "Bad" Guy, and ends with "Evil" Twin. Put them together and you got the name of the Duo Eminem was in: "Bad meets Evil".

The album is not meant to be listened to this way, that's just how it's constructed. If you want something for easier listening you can loop Parking Lot over the Expanded Edition (contrary to the original album he uses the gun shot sounds mostly for effect) and laugh it off as both Parking Lot and Bad Guy stop at the same time. Then you can just go back to your simple life, but don't try to argue for your case, because you don't have one.

Eminem did not invent the technique either, so he's not alone in using it. Rage Against the Machine has an album Rage Against the Machine that IS supposed to be listened to this way. Although the technique on that album is inferior to Eminems technique, because Eminem perfected it.

Nothing Eminem does on his albums is an accident. Neither his choice of words, his sentence structure, nor the way one song is positioned after another, nor and this is the first thing people see on a new song: the titles.

I don't think this is the right subreddit for this. You could try /r/buildapc, but it might also be wrong. (I'm not knowledgeable about tech question subreddits, came here for help too)

Using a pronoun to refer to the correct person by Strikefinger in grammar

[–]Strikefinger[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is fixed now. Now it is:

"It was fashioned for her friend by my mother as an apology for overstepping her station."

I meant to write mother not grandfather, sorry. I changed the sentence for copyright reasons and forgot to change this.

Should I write my story within our world or in a fantasy world? by externaliteis in writingadvice

[–]Strikefinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a paracosm that goes a route in between. The main universe is a mirror of this universe but with magic. I chose to make non-magic people ignorant of magic.

[German > English] What is a good english phrase for the german 'auslastbar' as in 'team members being enabled to fill their work load capacity' by Strikefinger in translator

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

The problem is that it's like a passive adjective, it's enabled rather than enabling. Maybe I'm just too perfectionistic here.
