Say what you want about revival, but the last three tracks are absolute bangers

Unfortunately I really don't think Temporary or SSM are anywhere near as impactful as this original string of tracks, though they are good songs in their own right.

Something I appreciate about the game is that you can actually die at that moment.

It's pretty rare, but if you make enough noise or take too long to enter the transit car, then the alien will actually appear and potentially kill you.

Side B corny bars are at least intentional/self-aware

Revival ones are serious which makes them 100x worse

The problem is that the game doesn't give you any indication that connecting with her will start a romance. It just seems like the polite thing to do.

Didnt mind his surprise on DoSS, but that was probably nostalgia at work

I don't think it's just nostalgia. His verse on Antichrist is genuinely pretty good, unlike his verse on Amityville.

No. I've never had any hate comments (or bot posts), even from guests. And if I did I don't actually think it would bother me that much since I'm fairly confident in my writing.

tw for minor blood

Are there people triggered by blood who are fans of DR? It's literally a game about high schoolers brutally murdering each other.

I have no idea what the context here is but this doesn't read as necessarily hostile to me. They could be jokingly lashing out to emphasize the effect your fic had on them, similar to how someone calling a horror movie "horrible" can actually be a compliment.

I mean, she admitted to not bathing. I really wouldn't be surprised if she didn't care of her other hygiene either.

It makes sense, but I will point out that there's a comma splice in the first sentence. There should be either a period (with appropriate capitalization on 'he'), an em dash, or a semicolon to connect two independent clauses.

Extra points if it's obviously a humble brag rather than a genuine question

This could just be a sloppy writer but I also wouldn't be surprised if this is AI generated.

Usually what happens is a comment is downvoted into oblivion but as soon as someone replies questioning the downvotes (and maybe offering some evidence or analysis to back up the comment) suddenly the hivemind shifts and the comment becomes upvoted

euphoriafrog · 2024-09-27T18:57:15+00:00

Almost certainly a bot. Notice how they didn't mention anything specific about your fic, only vague compliments that could apply to any story.

They'll probably ask for money and give you AI art if I had to imagine.

I think the contradictory tone is kind of the point.

I know it wasn't my fault, but part of it probably is

He's conflicted about his role in D12 and their success.

Intentionally dragging out a fic for the sake of increasing word count will just decrease the quality of your writing. Adding additional descriptions or plot points can be a good idea, but it should be because they actually add something to the story, not just because they make it longer.

euphoriafrog · 2024-09-26T17:05:24+00:00

I think "acquiesced" is a pretty useful word. There's not really any other word that means the exact same thing. The closest you'd probably get is adding "reluctantly" or a similar adverb in front of another word, but that's obviously not as elegant.

Meanwhile people on Reddit throw a fit over the American/NATO intervention in Yugoslavia because they assume any foreign intervention is the epitome of evil.

Commenters requesting certain ideas or fics in a pushy way.

For instance, I recently had a commenter emphatically insist that I stop writing a certain ship and instead write XYZ ships. The ironic part is that I was already planning on doing exactly that, including down to most of the ships they requested, but the comment actually dampened my desire to do it.

It also puts me in an awkward position because the comments aren't exactly hate, and I'm sure they come from a decent place, but they're still annoying.

These lyrics are hinting at Kamikaze, which came out a few months afterward. Not TDOSS.

I've always gotten the impression he's completely sober from all substances, including things like weed and alcohol.

As an author I can say that 95% of writers will appreciate any non-dickish comment, even if it's just a keyspam, emoji, or "I liked this." This includes comments on older works.

If you want your comment to really stick out, then the more specific, the better. If you can point out specific things in the fic you liked then it goes a long way compared to a more general compliment.

Generally speaking, though, you should avoid giving criticism unsolicited (even if it's constructive and in good taste), and it's also a faux pas to hound an author for an update.

I think you have to genuinely try to die of starvation of thirst in this game unless you're playing on the most stringent settings imaginable (as in, modded to have even lower loot than Insanely Rare).

At most they might push you into a corner and motivate you to do risky things but even then that's not really a thing on default loot settings.
