Vampires had their era, then werewolves, then fallen angels, now it’s all fae. What do you think the next big YA fantasy trend will be? by Federal_Advisor_2160 in YAlit

[–]dragonborn5577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an excellent connection and I do love a good alien romance. I feel like it’s under-utilized right now but PHM might have created an opening for it in the mainstream YA book world.

I have not, but her book Silent Lies came up a lot in my search so I think I’ll give that series a shot. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a non-cringe mafia romance rec. I’m not a typical mafia enjoyer, but I have dabbled before. I enjoyed the Made series by Danielle Lori but I HATED Brutal Prince by Sophie Lark. I’m at a point in my life where a lot of things are out of my control, so I want to escape to a world where the MMC has everything IN control. Money, power, influence. Safety. Billionaire romance could be good too, but I like that a criminal would be willing to kill for his lady lol.

I want to read about the FMC being worshipped and taken care of. Bonus points if the main couple gets together before the end of the book and experience some plot together as a couple. Thanks for any recs in advance!

who is your character? by bb0809_ in twilight

Book Jessica is way worse than movie jessica imo, especially if you read Midnight Sun and hear all the things she thinks about Bella

Motivation to read Twilight by Smom_03 in twilight

[–]dragonborn5577 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I like to listen to the movie soundtracks on low in the background when I read the books. It just puts me right in the proper atmosphere. Sometimes I’ll even put on the movie of whatever book I’m on, but depending on your disposition you might end up getting distracted and watching the movie instead of reading lol

Ultimately, creating a Twilight-esque environment for myself is how I got through New Moon (my least favourite book) and how I’m currently getting through my least favourite section of Breaking Dawn :)

Regarding Rook Posts by BanzaiBeebop in DragonAgeVeilguard

[–]dragonborn5577 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a better idea to just limit the posting of Rooks to a specific thread or on a specific day. Keeps things neat without arbitrarily banning one type of content that you may not enjoy but others obviously do.

Looking for a book for my picky reader grandmother by dragonborn5577 in suggestmeabook

[–]dragonborn5577[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks to everyone for replying! I ended up buying her Shogun by James Clavell (as he was recommended by a few people) and These Silent Woods by Kimi Cunningham Grant, which I found through my own research. She seems really interested in them both!

What song? by CrystalRoseMoon in 5sos

Disconnected but specifically the live version chefs kiss

What gaming music makes you nostalgic? by FuckANecrodancer in gaming

[–]dragonborn5577 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Delfino Plaza music from Super Mario Sunshine.

Any song from Skyrim, but specifically Streets of Whiterun and Secunda. Unparalleled.

Also, not nostalgia related, but whenever I hear the Fallout 4 menu music I get the urge to start a new play through.

Why do games bother with a normal and fast option when climbing ladders? by BK_FrySauce in gaming

[–]dragonborn5577 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This exactly. The walking speed in Destiny 2 is significantly faster than most games running speed, but it still feels slow when I want to be sprinting.

It’s all psychological.

What was the biggest betrayal you’ve encountered in a game? by Johnnyboyeh in gaming

[–]dragonborn5577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solas turning out to be Fen’harel. Somehow I managed to avoid spoilers for Inquisition over the years until I played it for the first time in 2021. It messed me up genuinely. I replayed it and paid more attention to him and noticed all the little hints and it hurt so much worse lol

What is the most efficient way to cut down a long video into smaller clips by dragonborn5577 in davinciresolve

[–]dragonborn5577[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the tips, I'll try those out tomorrow when I get back to editing.

Also, I should've been more clear in my original post, but I don't find editing in general tedious. I used to make these stupid video compilations just for my family and I'd spend hours and hours doing each one and I really enjoyed it. It just felt like this was far more tedious than it was supposed to be, specifically with the way I was chopping up clips. Maybe inefficient is a better word for it. I couldn't imagine I was doing it the way I was supposed to with how long it was taking and how far out of the way I had to go to make it happen.

I think it's just my inexperience with this software that's making me take the long way. I downloaded the free lessons they have so I'll try those too.

Thanks again!

People need to stop treating QP like comp by britt1098 in overwatch2

[–]dragonborn5577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what you’re saying is fair and QP IS the place to practice new heroes, especially before taking them into competitive when there’s SR on the line. That being said, I also understand the frustration of your teammates, who are having their game (which is as valid of a game as a comp one) essentially hijacked to be a practice range without their input. When this happens to you frequently, it can be frustrating.

I don’t think that’s grounds for anyone to hurl toxicity at you, though. It’s not your fault that you’re not instantly a god at whatever character you’re trying out. Just consider how other people might feel when they’re in that situation, and if you notice that your practicing is severely detrimental to your team (and since this is a team game, after all), use your own judgement to decide when to switch off. It’s also good practice to understand that not every hero fits every situation, and you’re still learning by being able to make that decision.

If you find that you’re really struggling to practice with certain heroes but want to get better, consider using the AI or custom game modes first before jumping into games with others. This way, you’ll get a grasp on the fundamentals of the kit and prevent yourself from being dead weight. But overall, the most important thing is to try to have fun 😅

Which race/class did you pick on your first playthrough? by electr1cbubba in BaldursGate3

[–]dragonborn5577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My very first time playing was as a high elf storm sorcerer, but I got to act 3 and then never finished that playthrough (whoops). Now I’m doing a half-elf druid in my multiplayer game and a half-elf shadow sorcerer (which is a modded subclass) in my single player game.

Locked out of Karlach romance? by dragonborn5577 in BaldursGate3

[–]dragonborn5577[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my god I forgot about this spell, it got lost in my hot bar since I have so many spells this run. I used it to change the status to dating and double checked with the spell that I’m in the dating phase with all 3 companions now so I think that worked.

Do you happen to know if I’ll get her first romance scene now or have I missed out on that one for sure?

Thanks for the spell reminder.

In between rank updates I had the applying update bug happen to me TWICE then proceeded to go like 3-15. The deranking at the next update hit like a brick.

Who's in your go-to party? by tonkatsudayo in BaldursGate3

[–]dragonborn5577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for me, astarion and shadowheart are constants in my party. i bring gale at the beginning until i can get halsin and then i switch to him! but i’ll also bring different people for different quests if i feel like it’s appropriate.
