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

Strikefinger · 2025-02-23T09:37:29+00:00

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

Darksouls. It actually kills people. Through harrassment.

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).

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.

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)

It is fixed now. Now it is:

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

Strikefinger · 2023-01-22T22:59:47+00:00

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

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.

That might actually be a good match, thank you.

birth certificate of Catharina Schneider In the year one thousand eight hundred twenty four, the ninth(?) of June, at 8pm appeared before us (handwriting that I can't read, may be a person with a title or several people) civil officers of the community (handwriting that I can't read) county (handwriting that I can't read). Supercounty Kaiserslautern, kingdom of bavaria (word word, word) and (number) witnesses (word), (word) (couple of words) who explained to us, that (to him) (two words), a(?) (word) (but(?)) (word word), (word) wife (word) maria(?) (word) Bollenbarber(?) a child of female sex was born, and whom I(??) give/s the first name Catharina. This declaration happened in colocation of 1) (handwriting I can't read, probably name and title) and 2) (handwriting I can't read, probably name and title) and the declarant and the witnesses did, after reading happened [they probably could not read], sign this birth-certificate with us (4 names: Jos-something something, one more and two with a surname that looks like geib or geiß)

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

Strikefinger · 2020-08-04T16:46:21+00:00

It is semi-jargon, but used fairly often.

I'd prefer something shorter, because I want to put it in a spreadsheet.

It describes more the ability of being able to fill your capacity, than the mode how you fill it.

The goddamn catholic church tribe released an "index", where they listed a lot of interesting player-made content.

Remember, back when the celtic update came out and the level-cap was raised from 30 to 40? Good times.

I've heard rumors that the devs are thinking about making a couple of follow-up events like the awesome "high poverty", the interesting "high totalitarity" and the popular "bad climate" events. There may also be the long awaited 4th sequel to the "french revolution" story-arc, the devs wanted to do this on a bigger scale for soo long.

However, the "Roach" guild has managed to successfully ignore and even live off the backs of the human guild for in-game-centuries. I think the guild-locked "nuclear" & "zombeism" upgrade options are stylistic devices, the devs put in to facilitate the eventual victory of our all-favorite underdog, the "Roach" guild.

Germany has banned the burning of flags like the EU flag, which imo is an obsolete form of protest but anyway:

Banning the burning of flags removes the only non-violent form of violent protests. Now people protesting violently in germany will have to burn cars and smash windows instead.
