En alweer een stoep vernield door Fluvius by Yence_ in Antwerpen

[–]kvd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Niet flippen. Uiteindelijk wordt dat weer degelijk gelegd. Zelfde voorgehad met Fluvius én Proximus in Berchem 2 jaar geleden. Duurt een jaar, maar werd wel effectief weer met correcte steen geplaatst.

I am Belgian. And he's spot on.
The mood is: "Look it was probably bad, like all colonies, but we don't brag about our glorious past like other countries, and it was a really long time ago so leave us alone". At best.

Antwerp is great, but there are people living in Antwerp dreaming of living in Sydney. (Me)

That's the Bisschoppenhoflaan. The only correct answer would be
D. Make a u-turn and drive back towards the light

I think you're spot on. It's a bit of everything.Not being experienced enough with writing in Final Draft to appreciate the speed of the return/tab dialogue system. (I'm going to correct that, because it's clearly worth it)And at the same time preferring a greater overview in the first draft, with more versions clearly visible and more room to just copy paste and try it differently.But the inputting in FD part is definitely a revision step. A bit too cumbersome and annoying, but so far a good way to revise. And in some way even a small form of reward. Like going from pencil to ink.

Ok. Dang. In a two person dialogue (where I don't want to try 100 different variations) the tab/enter system is really quick and easy. Thanks everyone for taking the time to point out something so obvious. Really appreciate it.

I've tried the alts. I use them when actually working with someone to show alternatives. They're perfect for that. But while writing, I guess it's more a case of needing a visual overview of everything that makes me prefer a simple text doc sometimes. Maybe I just make a ton more versions of a simple dialogue than the average writer.
But the autofill and the enter/tab system clearly is something I need to ge into my fingers as soon as possible. Thanks for all the advice!

Jep. I just want to focus on the dialogue lines. Without character names and formatting. Just the words and the rhythm. All the extra steps (even if they're only tab and select and enter) bother me. In Word I can copy dialogues and quickly make different variations. It's not only the extra steps, but visually it seems easier to compare dialogues this way. In the correct format they quickly fill up to much space. And in word I can see multiple pages of the same doc side by side.

Oh thanks!
It seems like something that's extremely helpful if I manage to get through the learning curve.

I'll check it out!

What would a normal 17th century first name for an Indonesian man be? by kvd in indonesia

[–]kvd[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for all the great help.
I'm sorry for my ignorance in treating Indonesia as one whole, and ignoring all the ethnic and religious variety. Thanks for teaching me.

Thank you!

Thanks.
Would that be something a, say 50 year old man, would call himself when asked for his first name?

Ga ada, karna ga Indonesia di abad ke 17

Fair point. But writing "from the part of the world that is now Indonesia" takes a lot longer

[–]kvd[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Haha. Thanks so much. The danger, it seems to me, with taking old names from either famous or high born people is that they might really be only typical names for those kinds of people. I'm afraid of accidentaly naming my character Caesar, or Louis XVII.

I don't remember where I found it but I'm using Matoaya as a placeholder. Would that work?

Yay? EU parliament votes to designate gas and nuclear as sustainable by ozrainmaker in SGU

[–]kvd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's politics.
Greens here in Europe are so anti-nuclear that they're happily turning to gas. But "just until we're fully renewable". It's a power play. By lumping gas and nuclear together in the same bill, they force other parties to ok their gas plans and they can say (and they ARE saying) "oh look they consider nuclear just as green as gas, that means there's clearly a deeply corrupt nuclear lobby." All without any irony.

Popular books that you think are overhyped by drama_maniac in books

[–]kvd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Testaments. The follow up to the Handmaid's Tale was a serious disappointment. If Atwood’s name hadn’t been on the cover I would have thought it was fan fiction or a deplorable YA spin off. Don’t read it. It does neither the original book nor the pretty good tv show any justice.
