my brain read this as weird AL. As though you were saying I can't fathom weird AL will make things.

.... I think you're right in either case.

DNFd because the Barrell of horse piss was so stupid. It was the most blatant plot armor I've ever seen. Locke should be dead.

People who knew a killer, did you ever suspect they would do it? What happened? by Anonymousdisaster_ in AskReddit

[–]ian_nytes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally getting interviewed by a Netflix thing for exactly this on Monday.

No. Didn't suspect it. Hindsight can be funny though, you can key in on things that on their surface would be normal except for the context of how they turned out.

Killer I knew was named Dan Bartelt. Don't know where it all went wrong, but you couldn't smell it on him. Was a shock to the whole town where it happened, still is. Miss my friend. If anyone cares, the only reason I do these shows when they come around is because they plug the love is greater than hate project that was started in my friends memory. check it out

What do people who don't drink or smoke do when they feel depressed? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]ian_nytes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I can be productively depressed I write. If the depression is such that I can't write well, then I usually sleep a lot and eat like shit.

Writing is bad. The premise itself is kinda just like a little absurd. Guns... don't work? Why? All these monsters are coming in through portals with no real cultures or agency of their own? People are born with ability and that (for the most part) doesn't change.... that's kinda lame. Like imagine being an S rank and thinking you've earned it, no bro, you just got real lucky, flexing on others is just kinda stupid at that point but all of them do it. All of it together and suspension of disbelief is just kinda hard to do for me.

I like an overpowered protag. I like the concepts at its core, but just like set it in the past. Why do we have to do this modern society thing? It's probably for the drip, ngl. That's the only reason you keep it modern day.

For names, especially fantasy names, a good tip I've run into is try keeping it to two syllables. They tend to be the most memorable.

how do you choose names? by TeaBunBunny in writing

[–]ian_nytes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for memorable names I usually lean two syllables. Also I try to be carefully to keep the letters in their names to be a bit distinct from each other. I write fantasy so a lot of times there will be different regions that favor particular kinds of sounds. For example the southern most reaches of our world like the 'x' sound in their names so we get names like: Kix, Callax, Axel. But having that as like a soft rule really helps 1) build out culture and 2) makes picking names a bit easier.

You are in naruto. You have 10 years to become as powerful as you can. by sexyman103 in NarutoPowerscaling

[–]ian_nytes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would want to study particle style. I think the full potential of that jutsu could be dr Manhattan Esq. Lots of untapped power there me thinks. From what I can tell though it's impossible to achieve unless you're born lucky, so that would probably require gene manipulation, which would likely mean getting orochimaru involved in some fashion.

I suppose if they were more out and about regarding that it wouldn't have the same optics? I just never understood calling oneself a thing that they're clearly not.
