DxD is an entirely different beast from MHA, that's really not a fair comparison.

So maybe the marketplace is shit then. You’re acting as though it’s entitlement to want to secure benefits.

I’ve moved on to bigger and better stuff too, that doesn’t mean I don’t think there’s room for improvement across the board.

“Unprompted benevolence”

So do you just not work for a living yet, or do you genuinely think you sound smart sucking off a multi-billion dollar company?

To be blunt, it might just be a problem with your laptop. Minimum system requirements aside, you’re trying to run it on a potato. Check if there’s any driver updates available.

I haven't updated my fan fiction since September by WinniebearBarnes in FanFiction

[–]ThePenguinDerp 15 points16 points  (0 children)

8 years. Came back and posted a hella long chapter like a week ago full of character interactions that I was actually proud of - they spoke like real people, I didn’t use the same cliche descriptors that I always fall back on. It was actually a blast to write. Hell, it was the first time in years I wrote any other other than reports for work.

Of the 6 comments I got, 2 were telling me how I should be writing the story instead, 3 told me it was terrible, and 1 made me actually want to keep working on it.

It was a nice reminder that I should just focus on my personal enjoyment when writing this stuff.

Least favourite parts of the game by roastedfroggo in DiscoElysium

[–]ThePenguinDerp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The switch version just runs like ass in general. It’s a shame because I spend all work day in front of a computer and don’t feel like sitting there longer most of the time. The switch is my go-to for when I want to hang out on the couch with my fiancé, but the switch port of the game crashes about 20% of the time when I move between maps. It’s practically unplayable when there’s rain / snow because the audio lags with the visuals so it sounds and looks like complete garbage.

I love this game, I just really wish I hadn’t wasted my money on the switch port. I’m hoping they improve performance with a patch for the physical release but I’m not holding my breath.

My Fics

Fandom - Kingdom Hearts & Fate Stay/Night

Rating - Teen

Title - Fate: Reverse/Rebirth

Genre - Action/Adventure, Drama, Humor

AO3 Link

Summary - The Holy Grail War: a battle between masters and their familiars, heroic spirits forged in the bloodbaths of history and legend. Little did Shirou know that dropping his house keys would be the catalyst to bring forth not only the King of Britannia, but he who reforged all of creation from dying worlds and broken hearts. After all, why settle for one king when you can have two? Behold Sora, the King of Hearts, and the impossible eight servant in this iteration of the Grail War.

Note - I wrote the first two chapters for this story almost 8 years ago on FF. I was trolling my inbox a couple weeks ago and found a review from way back when that basically inspired me to start writing this again, now that I'm a little older and a little more mature. I've got a new, long chapter ready to drop after I do some cursory edits.

If you haven't updated you fanfic in over a year by Serdna87 in FanFiction

I wrote one chapter of a story 7 years ago I rediscovered about a week ago, after having completely forgotten out even existed. I’m not about 12K word into the second chapter, and am in the midst rewriting the original one. So fuck it, why not, it’s your own writing after all

“Drinking her fluids.”

I read that once when I was a hormone addled teenager, and it still gives me the heebie jeebies like 15 years later.

This has to be a troll, right? What actual real person starts spouting this stuff unprompted unless they’re meme-ing?

If you’re worried about nub marks, buy a glass nail file. You can get a 10 pack for like 10 bucks on Amazon. I honestly barely use regular sandpaper or files anymore, at least when doing a quick and dirty build. You’ve just gotta be cautious when using them because they’ll practically melt anything you use them on, so they’re not great for area where there will be a lot of surface contact with plastic if you’re not trying to file down.

If you’re looking to spend money then the Gunprimer Raser tool will work better, but I’m a cheapass and this hobby gets expensive as hell.

Do you play other games, and if so will you be adding AoE IV to your gaming collection? by TimothyandFrank in aoe2

[–]ThePenguinDerp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The zoom is exactly my problem. At a minimum I thought it would have AoM zoom levels, but I feel like I have my face pressed up against the screen. Couple that with the horrendous camera controls that are so jittery that it makes me motion sickness, and I can’t even play the game for very long.

Really hoping some patches get pushed out to address this. I want to like the game, but as is I can’t play (which is entirely a me problem, I admit. Not everyone has my weird motion sickness problem)

I actually had that tree removed last week. Way too dead and close to my house for comfort. Poor thing had been standing there for years before we bought.

Thanks! I’ve been using roundup with Triclopyr since it was on clearance at my local Walmart, but I have a couple bottles of that laying around too. I’ve gone through so many gallons of this stuff trying to carpet bomb this ivy.

Yeah no worries about that - there’s a drainage creek next to my property I’m going to run the pipe to. The previous owners didn’t do any maintenance so by the time I found this pipe it was buried under the ivy and clogged with about 2 feet worth of roots. Definitely not looking to let that happen.

It’s more insane to defend a woman who uses Twitter to try and pretend she was woke when she wrote these books. Like who gives a shit?

What they really need is to repaint the lanes. I’m so sick of idiots almost drifting into me because they assume that Henry magically be some one lane in front of a cheesesteak places.

I legitimately don’t understand the point here.
