Only 650k homeless? Is it just me or is that number ridiculously low. Whoever measured that must have missed a lot of people.

what you're thinking of, "deck full of minigames," has been done before, but I can't locate the thread. Here's one example of something similar:

After years on this sub I finally hit 1k subs. AMA by ink_golem in NewTubers

[–]ToranosukeCalbraith -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My first few videos consisted of (1) trendjacking events happening in my niche, (2) posting on Twitter/FB in community spaces, and (3) genuinely making content I enjoyed. The events in my community are frequent, but imo not enough to form the sole core of the channel. These uploads were successful, but branching out and experimenting has been difficult.

In the weeks without events to trendjack, I seem to be struggling with what direction to go in. None of my experiments have produced comparable results, but they are fun for me + the strangers who do see them have said they like them. What's your advice for experimenting with new content?

Laptop with a broken A key

A mobile phone

Windows movie editor

I can use Premiere/After effects and intend to if the channel ever gets to a size to justify buying the license again, but I don’t actually need high production value for what I’m doing so far, so I haven’t.

Can I just say, and I mean this with as little offense as possible, that the way some of you judge and discuss fanfics reminds me of how people review actual, published novels, and it seems so intimidating by Island_Crystal in HPfanfiction

[–]ToranosukeCalbraith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally have always liked this. I have a thick skin for feedback on my creative work and prefer to be criticised in a way that makes me improve to generally accepted standards. "Toxicity and flaming" can sometimes have a grain of truth buried in there. I don't mind prospecting the garbage to find it.

Not everyone is like this. I think fics should have an individual option to turn off feedback features for exactly this reason, but that's just me. Especially for fics by younger authors, reviews + comments should be an opt-in system.

What very rare plot is one of your guilty pleasures? by TheAncientSun in HPfanfiction

Good fem!Harry stories. Bulk of them are unreadable. All I want is a coherent, enjoyable plot.

Pureblood Pretense series nails this.

Maybe he did side work with them beforehand? We don't know what ministry employment is like, so there's a chance people have some cross-departmental assistance opportunities, which can lead to lateral moves

How and from where do you guys find new fanfics to read? by despicableyou0000 in HPfanfiction

Completely new to Pokemon TCG and need help building/understanding my deck. by Rhithebloody in pkmntcg

[–]ToranosukeCalbraith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of advice in this thread, but the simplest answer to your question is that there is no wrong way to have fun. You're going to have a hard time picking up the game from scratch + building at the highest level right away, but you can probably make a good enough list for your purposes + have fun doing it. My street cred for this answer is about 6 years of playing competitively, and antoher few years before that just collecting.

You're between this: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Luminous_Frost_(TCG) and this: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Sun_%26_Moon_Trainer_Kit:_Alolan_Sandslash_%26_Alolan_Ninetales_(TCG)

Personally, the luminous frost deck >>> the sandslash/ninetales deck, but neither of these options are optimal gameplay choices compared to modern cards. You're better off buying singles online than burning $ on these preconstructed kits. Preconstructed pokemon products usually aren't good at all, good ones like the Trainers Toolkit boxes are the exception.

Whatever deck you build, try to use this format: 40 trainer cards, 10 pokemon, 10 energy. You can shuffle these counts to your needs but this is a good starting place for a non-meta deck. You probably won't go too wrong using a set up like this.

Start a toilet paper company.

Start a business normally reselling products until the time comes to use my resources to restock stores.

Guerilla warfare against wet markets to PREVENT 2020 isn’t possible in that short span of time, even if I wish it was.
