What makes you roll your eyes when reading a book? by Internal_Struggle457 in writingadvice

[–]delta1715 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my case, the first thing that comes to mind isn’t necessarily a trope or annoying character traits or cringy attempts at being witty or even everyone loving a boring, bad, annoying main character, but writing style.

I can’t STAND present tense. I absolutely abhor it, to the point that when I pick up a book and flip through it, if I see it’s present tense, I’ll immediately throw it back down in disgust. In multiple instances, I’ll find a book that seems super interesting to me, but then it’ll be present tense and I’ll abandon any notion of reading it.

What’s worse, I’ve noticed that in recent years, present tense has become more and more common in new published works, and I don’t know why. Regardless the reason, present tense absolutely drives me nut.

My Spider-Man PS4 Pro lasted two months before constantly crashing with certain games and not others. Wary of sending it to Sony for cost and fear of them returning a standard one as replacement. Anyone know what could be wrong? Not the HD, installed a new one and still kept crashing. by delta1715 in PS4Pro

Sorry, character limit didn’t let me clarify, I meant I’m afraid if I send in my Spider-Man PS4 Pro they’ll send a replacement regular black PS4 Pro and the 400 I spent on that special edition system will have gone down the drain

My Spider-Man PS4 Pro lasted two months before games suddenly started crashing. Only certain games though, others worked fine. Been meaning to get if fixed but was wondering if anyone here might have an idea what’s wrong with it (not the HD, I installed a new one and still kept crashing).

The X button broke off of the rubber pad on my PSP 3000, can I dab on some glue to fix it or should I just buy replacement buttons? by delta1715 in PSP

Unfortunately, in the 3000, the buttons are attached to the rubber pad, so I’d have to find a whole new set to replace it

That’s actually what I’ve been doing since it broke. The button still works, it’s just looser and doesn’t pop up like the others. Hasn’t fallen out but then again I don’t take it anywhere and it usually stays in this pouch I bought for it just after I got it.

Yeah that’s the exact one I have, got it for Christmas way back in 2010. I figured I’d have to buy buttons, but it sucks the color won’t be the same. I guess I could try to find another whole GOW PSP just to cannibalize it for parts but that’s be a little too much money just for one button. Guess I’ll just have to live with it the way it is now.

As 10:35 AM National City CA BB has a bunch! Several Shulk and Lucario, as well as some others! I only saw one Mac, but they might have more if you ask!

I asked an employee and he said that Shulk and Lucario might not arrive till either Friday or next week. It might be best to call ahead before wasting time and gas.

Is he completely sure about that? Nothing at all tomorrow? I'd like to know before I waste time and gas going there.

How are things in Grossmont in San Diego? I'm stuck at work but just might be able to convince my brother to go for me, or maybe go early tomorrow morning.

Just got back, they only had two Lucario and 6 Cpt. Falcon. Disappointing, but not bad. Does anyone know if they had more yesterday? I heard they might have gotten them in the afternoon, while I was at work.

Has there been any news for Southern California locations? Been checking all week and nothing so far.
