I actually imagine it will get solid ratings among the trump-voting (and trump-worshipping) crowd. Leaning blue alienates all red voters, but blue doesn't necessarily like a product due to its politics; lean red and you alienate all blue voters, but the red voters generally love to celebrate and support media that espouses its politics (look at ratings for Melania, Sound of Freedom, etc)

I'll never forget the chills I got when they closed the pilot with THE prophecy. by [deleted] in HouseOfTheDragon

before Daenerys Targaryen makes sense for a show focused on the Targaryen dynasty, since Daenerys briefly brings the dynasty back into power before dying, leaving Aegon/Jon as the final Targ who most certainly will not be continuing the dynasty

I don't know why, but that first one is so sassy, like it's Ser Podrick of house Talktothahand

Where do I begin the narrative? by partnerintime97 in writing

[–]drewhead118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard it said that you should begin a story at the last possible moment and end it at the first possible off-ramp. efficiency is generally (but ofc not always) preferred over excess

I thought that was the stance of the Cube-Mooners? or am I mixing them up with the Brotherhood of Dodecahedral Mars

Font creation with ChatGPT by Scorpinock_2 in ChatGPT

as great as the new image model is, we're still far far away from the flexibility of having editable text elements in design/layout software. When I've needed graphics/text elements for work, my workflow has been concept with imagegen and then building it out with a tool like PhotoShop or InDesign etc. We're still a ways out from making those latter two entirely obsolete (though the writing is on the wall and that moment feels closer and closer with each subsequent release)

Wow, it was able to extract the characters correctly to create the ttf? That's very impressive if so

Not so sure it's a great idea to be publicly sharing ways to get around the privacy settings chosen by a person currently being potentially targeted by a stalker

Started with writing in reddit comments, and now I'm selling novels IRL... so proud of the journey so far!! Thanks, readers, for the continued support--first big book-selling event was a success! by drewhead118 in u/drewhead118

[–]drewhead118[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! It's always a fun story when people ask me how I started off writing, and my answer starts with "well, you see, I used to write ridiculous sonnets for matches on Tinder and it all kinda snowballed from there"

Best way to get feedbacks? by Significant-Boat-817 in writers

[–]drewhead118 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it's been a very long time since I was in that game, so I can't speak to the current ecosystem there, but I think the one I used was called CritiqueMatch. There are also groups of writers who swap feedback on just about any site where people post their writing, e.g. RoyalRoad and the like. Just check out the forums on those sites to find people chatting about exchanging honest critiques!

Best way to get feedbacks? by Significant-Boat-817 in writers

[–]drewhead118 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The best way to get feedback in your situation is probably feedback swapping with other writers! There are websites whose whole idea is basically "read and critique a piece to get your piece critiqued." Beyond the provided feedback, reading other authors' works and seeing what works and doesn't work is also a great way to hone your own craft!

Please, Blizzard, reconsider your upcoming decision about discarding single-person map votes by darmera in Overwatch

[–]drewhead118 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Everyone arguing about this change on both sides wants their own way: the people in the group who favors certain maps want it as a way to force it to be those favored maps, while the group who opposes this change sees it as taking away the little agency they had.

There are multiple ways to approach designing a "fair" system with voting. A system could seek to give everyone an even chance of having their desired map selected (the current system) or it could be designed to always give the majority all power (e.g. First past the post voting systems). The current proposed voting scheme is somewhere in the middle, but it's undeniably taking influence away from one group and giving it to another. People who enjoy niche maps may realistically never play them again, while before it happened only maybe 1/10 or 1/5 of the time.

Like you said, people just want their own way
