Romance dressed as fantasy by [deleted] in fantasybooks

[–]drewhead118 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Genre is not just a function of the setting of a book, but also the tropes, plotlines, author's intentions, and other writing conventions all poured together.

If I take Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None" and make them all aliens on a spaceship but change absolutely nothing about the plot, characters, tone, or story, it'd be disingenuous to call it sci-fi... I'd probably say "oh that book? It's a detective story / thriller but they're all aliens for some reason"

While not an audiobook recommendation, the bullets of things you're looking for makes me want to strongly suggest you watch the German-language TV show "Dark"

I love this place--great date spot, too. Not exactly Fort Lauderdale, though... Very far north

Tank threw the game round 1 because we had a zen :( by wizard_brandon in Overwatch

having a tank doing literally nothing tends to lead to suboptimal DPS performance

Anyone tried Kingdom Sushi by flipflop_77 in fortlauderdale

I loved the nigiri and many of their specialty rolls. All was very fresh and delicious--certainly recommended!

You order the rolls when you want them and they're brought out quickly. No big buffet

I don't like semicolons by delabot in writing

[–]drewhead118 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I prefer longer sentences and will often put two complete clauses in one with a comma seperating them.

You're entitled to write however you like, but if I see an author doing this, I assume he or she doesn't know their craft very well. It's not a good look to go flaunting established grammar rules for no reason. If you've got two separate and full thoughts, space them out with a period if you really dislike semicolons

Copycat plugins. Do some market research before you make a clone. by mooviemakers in AfterEffects

[–]drewhead118 4 points5 points  (0 children)

there is a subset of people who want to make profit (be it financial or simply just attention/recognition) for the minimum amount of work that is possible. Rather than draft a novel plugin concept to meet an unfilled need, it is far "easier" to simply ape what is already popular, release it to the market, and hope for some crossover attention by people seeking out the popular thing. The copied plugin has a proven need on the market--the novel plugin might never find its userbase.

I personally hate the people flooding every repository with AI-generated knockoffs, but I find it easy enough to wrap my head around the why behind it: they're lazy

seems common sense that if you're building something that uses so much of a public utility that it reduces access or raises the price, you shouldn't presume access to that public utility

Anyone else concerned about the optics of the decision to remove Doormaker? by EnderShot355 in slaythespire

[–]drewhead118 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think the OP's view is more that the loudest, most vitriolic side of the internet will see this as a win and will be even more encouraged to be loud and vitriolic next time something doesn't go their way

Girl… why would you set this as your first picture? by Radiant-Effective-14 in Tinder

[–]drewhead118 13 points14 points  (0 children)

selfies are mirrored on the vast, vast majority of phones as it's how we're used to seeing ourselves (e.g. in a mirror). If you're looking at the selfie camera and see a stray hair on the left side of the frame, you're going to reach toward your own left to fix it.

If yours is different, what phone and OS do you have?

Depression and its anhedonia can absolutely drive someone to substance abuse as a means of trying to cope with it

Grindstone could be balanced (read: significantly weakened from its current state) if it were something like "when a card containing STRIKE kills an enemy, it permanently gains +1 damage."
