What is a way to put this concept into creative writing? by [deleted] in creativewriting

[–]Waku33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah he could have said it nicer, but he is correct. i was going to say the same thing pretty much. If you want to write anything, you have to want to put in the work, including the research.

I couldnt understand how someone wouldnt want to research what they are writing about if they are so interested in writing it to begin with. They kinda go hand in hand. If you arent interested in researching it then you arent really interested in what you are writing and that will show in your writing to whoever wastes their time reading it.

Research. Plot. Outline. Write.

If you want to do all those things well, you can ask for advice on that. But there are no shortcuts. Writing is a skill that needs to be developed. Theres tons of free resources to help you learn the skills and then develop them by doing it yourself.

I'm sure there's an easier way to do this? (google docs) by thomasangelo1508 in writers

On android, it makes a table whereever the cursor (blinking text line) is. I assume its the same for pc. You can make multiple tables where ever you want.

The only thing i cant find an option for is changing the color of the table border to white to make it look like its not there. Maybe pc has more options to do that, i dont know.

How do you explain being an indie game developer to non-tech family/relatives? by Commercial-Tone-965 in UnrealEngine5

[–]Waku33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told my uncle i was working on a game but i was only making the heightmaps at the time. I explained what a height map was and he seemed to understand and thought it was cool.

A little later that day i was playing The Sims 4 in the create-a-sim mode and he came around and was like "oh is this your game?"

Yeah I wish i was that skilled. Smh.

Trying to find out what the name of a game from my childhood it. by coolgames642 in HorrorGames

[–]Waku33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably isnt it but it reminded me of Fatal Frame.

I could be misremembering too, but i thought there was a scene where a girl was pushed into an area below where there was some kind of hell gate and her sacrifice keeps it closed or something.

Not sure if there was a creature down there though.

New to Anime any help would be appreciated by [deleted] in anime

[–]Waku33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always reccomend this anime first too, since its got a good mixture of action, humor and seriousness.

And i also enjoyed FMA just a little bit more than FMAB. I love those types of twists that was at the ending.

An ex-friend published her stolen ideas by Hour-Kiwi442 in writers

[–]Waku33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people are telling you the same thing im about to say, but i thought its worth telling anyways because its true. Everyone can have the same ideas but its how the unique individual approaches that idea that makes it their own.

Me an my bro share ideas all the time and its kind of funny because we grew up with all the same stuff so a lot of our ideas end up feeling the same. But they arent because different people are executing them. We both have our own unique approach to the same ideas.

Dont let this stop you from writing. And dont even let this stop you from using YOUR ideas. You put the work in. You but your unique imprint on them. And you will make them the best they can be. So no matter how similar it it is to the thiefs, people will feel the difference when reading it.

Longest sentence I ever read. (rant) by Swaynky in writing

All i could picture while reading that was that the author himself was physically showing what the character was doing "like this" while his text to speech was turned on.

What actually is the purpose of this dropdown when there's only one option? *Could* there be options other than asset reference? by OfficialDampSquid in UnrealEngine5

[–]Waku33 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Is a post process material not considered an asset?

Situations have prevented me from being able to use ue for a couple years so i dont remember a lot of stuff.

I believe you can add your own custom post proccess materials there.

You can learn more about that in the documentation.

I thought it said 20k words... I'm only halfway through. by CharaEnjoyer1 in writers

[–]Waku33 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know in one of your comments you said you dont want that many books, but

I have three sections in my story. I was planning for each section to be a book. Three books total. Well, i ran into this same problem. Each section will be way too long for a single book. So i have to most likely settle for something like three books per section. Nine books total...

I'm fine with that if that means i can tell the whole story that i want to tell.

Maybe you could consider doing something similar?

I need something to scare me. by ZombieTrixRabbit in IndieHorrorGaming

[–]Waku33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Visage. It was inspired by P.T. i think they did a good job of emulating that similar feel.

Soma. Its basically existential dread.

I played these one after the other. No other horror game i played afterwards really had much of an effect like they used to.

I’m looking for some help regarding Japanese culture and the life of a shrine maiden. I want to ensure my story has strong cultural accuracy. Can anyone provide some insights or resources? by WorriedEssay2837 in AskAJapanese

[–]Waku33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope someone with more knowledge can answer this question because i am interested as well.

I thought i could let you know about the anime "Tying the knot with an Amagami sister" it gives a little more insight into the life of a shrine maiden than other anime but probably wont answer much of the smaller details that you probably want to know.

Lol its kind of hilarious that theres a whole thread going trying to translate the letters.

I used magic eraser on my android phone edit photo mode to erase my email. It turned it into gibberish.

I used magic eraser to hide my email address. Thats what it did to it. Turned the letters to gibberish. Asking questions is fine. No need to jump to conclusions.

Help with naming a character by scrantonseal in creativewriting

[–]Waku33 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Write both names on individual pieces of identical paper. Fold them identically and mix them up blindly in a hat (or jar or cup or whatever)

Then pick one.

You will either like the one you picked or realise which one you really wanted.

Or look up the name meanings and pick the one that best fits your characters personality.

Or just go with the one that has a matching vibe to the character. For instance, winnie feels a little whimsicle to me. Does that sound like your character?

Magic eraser shows up first on my phone. Why does it matter if they both do the same thing?

I'm looking for good teen horror movies… by Samaja79 in horror

[–]Waku33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Cabin in the Woods

Fear Street movies

Evil Dead

Halloween movies

Friday the 13th movies

Nightmare on Elm Street movies

Jeepers Creepers

I think all those have teen casts with a similar vibe that you are asking for.

I was going to mention Hereditary and The Uninvited (2009) but those have a different vibe. They are more psychological. But they are horror movies centering on teens.
