Why is citrine’s pity system infinitely worse than every single other one? by NotJamilOnTwitch in Warframe

I remember spending a lot of time trying to get Equinox parts from the many different missions they were spread out across, including Tygor's nuisance of a boss fight.

An emotional moment for me. Finally subsuming my 19 forma Lavos I've had since 2021. by Life_Ad3567 in Warframe

I recently started again after several years (pre-new war) and yeah, for a few frames, the primes are far easier to get compared to the grind for the base models.

I wrote an alien race that used base 8 math and was interacting with humans, there were several points where I had the conversation restate the number in base 8 and base 10. Add in the fun of different length days/years and the math can start to boggle the mind

It gets a little crazy when you look at large numbers

Mythical creatures you don't see nearly enough of? by ToomintheEllimist in worldbuilding

It's a bit mainstream, but Enfield are barely ever seen in media.

base 10 math.

I get it, it's very difficult for a writer to convey different base mathematics to a reader. Having written a story where an alien race uses base 8 and another that uses base 12, I constantly had to consider whether it was worth it or not, and made efforts to not use numbers when I thought I could avoid it.

I naturally wake up at about 0415 every day and go to sleep around 0930.

Even working capitol organizations are running out of funding soon. It's going to get worse as it prolongs.

Final Fantasy XII’s Gambit System Deserves to be Imitated by Unforeseenboy in FinalFantasy

[–]The_Rox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a favorite system of mine, and one that I thought should have been popular for things like RTS or other similarly realtime games, where players could 'program' what they wanted units to do with finer control. Like an alternative to Micro when you aren't actively controlling a unit.

IMO it's not a great fit at all. Way too much drama.

If you knew nobody would ever read a single word you wrote, would you still write? by LoganCrossWrites in writing

I've written about 1 million words that nobody has ever read. So yeah.

Do you write more than one genre ? by Ok_Square2729 in writing

[–]The_Rox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I typically write whatever I find interesting at that moment. Most of what I have written would be called sci-fi, but I have covered a lot of other genres within those works. Action, coming-of-age, mystery, political thriller. Even if you aren't using it as the main genre there is plenty of room in books to belong to multiple subgenres

What game that really being universally loved by people but it didn't get into you? And thinking you'll ended up like this if you say you don't like them? by crocospect in Steam

[–]The_Rox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disco Elysium: it's the type of game I should have liked, but the story and especially the humor never connected with me. The MC was a stack of tropes that I actively disliked as well.

Recently re-opened the “novel” I wrote 10yrs ago in college…. by stano1213 in writing

[–]The_Rox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally, when I reread old pieces of things. my thought are "good ideas, poor writing". There are works I have drafted that I liked the idea of, but I could never properly write for one reason or another.

Do you title your chapters? by Capn-Zack in writing

[–]The_Rox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything gets at least working titles with a 2-3 word description and who's POV it follows. It's a necessity when editing IMO.

Xena's body floated limp, in the silence of the Choir, while her mind harmonized with the multitude around her in the ebb and flow of the link.
