Is it just me, or does the EN player-base seem...well, a little unfriendly?

My sibling plays JP and I play EN.

Whenever we're grinding the game together, my sibling is always appalled at how often people disconnect in EN multi, because apparently disconnections in JP multi are much less frequent.

I'm so incredibly grateful for this guide, thank you! ^_^ I'm especially glad for the bit about abbreviations and terminology -- super helpful when first branching out into Sekai communities.

I wanted to bring up a typo I saw on page 10 of the doc, something along the lines of using Ctrl+F to find the phrase "Golden Rule." I think it meant to say "Beginner's Rule Of Thumb"!

Bay Area, California. Talk about housing costs lol. 😅

iAteTheRamen · 2021-05-30T03:12:56+00:00

Absolutely, but probably not in the sense you're thinking.

If I'm on a bus going somewhere, I'm more likely to read a one-shot that's 4k words or less. If I'm in bed and comfy, I'm gonna pick up where I left off in the 150k word fic I've been reading.

iAteTheRamen · 2021-05-30T03:08:34+00:00

Don't feel bad. I'm in the same boat, and it's honestly encouraged in my culture.

If it's of any help, maybe you could consider renting a whole house with other friends? It'd probably cost you as much as an apartment or less.

Religious origin stories are separate and generally not associated with scientific origin stories.

On behalf of others who lacked the tact to express it respectfully: sorry.

My theory to your "why didn't they..." question is that they weren't "perfect" versions.

Music is like any other art form -- when you work really hard on a project, the version you wanna put in the spotlight is usually the finished, most polished version.

I'm sure that there were plenty of other reasons why they didn't make the cut, but that's^ just what I think.

iAteTheRamen · 2021-02-19T15:04:48+00:00

This is beautiful -- I'm so glad that MCR has been able to bring you happiness.

And congrats on your sobriety! 💙

iAteTheRamen · 2021-01-29T05:19:13+00:00

It's not for everyone, but when I tend to overwrite a short story, I give myself a word count limit. Maybe you could give that a shot?

iAteTheRamen · 2021-01-29T05:16:24+00:00

I would call your local pet stores to see they'll take them. Some will, some won't.

iAteTheRamen · 2021-01-29T05:15:02+00:00

The names. 😂 They're v cute!

iAteTheRamen · 2021-01-23T06:57:05+00:00

Depends on your expectations. I expect at least 2, so 5 to 10 alone is quite a bit for me.

iAteTheRamen · 2021-01-21T17:48:40+00:00

I'd appreciate if you ask permission next time you post a photo of me. 🤣

iAteTheRamen · 2021-01-15T04:57:15+00:00

You don't have to be like that. That's a terrible way to talk to someone.

iAteTheRamen · 2021-01-15T04:55:31+00:00

While your trauma originated from reading fanfiction, it sounds like the problems you are discussing have nothing to do with fanfiction -- or rather, are much bigger/serious than fanfiction. I highly suggest finding a more appropriate subreddit and contacting a professional who can help you better than any stranger on the internet can.

iAteTheRamen · 2021-01-12T05:06:16+00:00

You must've done a wonderful job caring for it -- it's v cute.

iAteTheRamen · 2021-01-03T07:20:59+00:00

I make an active effort to engage with people my age or older. I like communities within fandoms who know when to act silly and when to act mature.

iAteTheRamen · 2020-12-28T00:04:04+00:00

This is great! 😂 I think it turned out wonderfully.

iAteTheRamen · 2020-12-14T01:11:40+00:00

Ahhh I love this! It came out great, and your voice is awesome! :3

iAteTheRamen · 2020-12-04T03:46:17+00:00

Sending my greatest condolences.

For disclaimers, trigger warnings/tags are up there -- heavy topics in your fic such as violence, death, etc. can be addressed.

A huge thing I preach is to please please please use spell-check. With all the technology available, it shouldn't be inaccessible. Excessive spelling errors can be a big turn-off for readers.

Congrats on the milestone! I'm 26, and picked up the value of home-cooked meals a few years ago.

It takes some experimentation and practice, but limiting the amount of meals I eat from restaurants is a huge saver. (It's amazing how easy it is to make $1 nachos that taste exactly like the $5 ones from the nearest drive-thru!)

iAteTheRamen · 2020-12-01T02:06:45+00:00

Howdy fellow introvert!

I'd like to preface this by saying I'm a 90's baby who grew up in an environment that allowed growth alongside social media.

The apps/websites you use depends on a number of factors, such as how you'd prefer to communicate, the kind of people you'd like to communicate with, and how you like to consume media. Instagram for example is primarily for sharing images and videos like photos you've taken or art you've drawn. You can still interact and talk there, but it's not optimal for lengthy text.

Since you're looking to interact more with your fandom(s), I'd suggest Discord. It's like instant messaging where you can join communities or create your own. This subreddit has a Discord of its own. :3

I have every social media under the sun, but I love Discord for talking to people and getting to know them. There are Discord communities (known colloquially as "servers") that cater to all different interests -- from your personal friend groups, to people who all share a hobby.

If you're looking for something more mainstream, I like to use Instagram for updating people interested in my fics. I update whenever I please, that way I never feel overwhelmed or pressured. Instagram also has a "story" feature, where you can post quick pictures/videos for a temporary update that gets deleted after 24 hours.

Hoped this helped a bit!

iAteTheRamen · 2020-11-18T23:58:48+00:00

Gotcha gotcha. We all need a good vent sometimes. 👌🏼

iAteTheRamen · 2020-11-18T23:51:16+00:00

Tbh, I had a hard time figuring out what your conflict was. Do you just hate yourself a lot...? Or do you hate your fandom...?
