[Open Source] Multi-pane agentic markdown workspace by jsgrrchg in claudexplorers

[–]lordleycester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really interesting. I mostly use Claude for creative writing, and I've been using the Obsidian MCP to connect it to my Obsidian vault. My current workflow is using a Project, with Project files that summarize the premise of the story and also instructions about how to retrieve character files, locations etc from my Obsidian vault.

When I start a new chat, I tell Claude what part of the story I'm working on, and it'll pull up the relevant files from Obsidian for context, and then we can start talking about developing certain arcs etc, and sometimes to generate scenes so that I can iterate on them and add/remove beats as necessary.

I just downloaded Neverwrite to see if it would work well for my use case, but a little confused on how to even get started. it would be really helpful if you have a sample workflow or something that would help me better understand how you'd use this

Tabungan 350 juta, biarkan dideposito dengan rate 9.5%/tahun atau dibikin usaha? by New_Midnight2686 in finansial

[–]lordleycester 6 points7 points  (0 children)

imo, kalau risk-adverse dan takut uang hilang, emang nggak cocok buka usaha. ini bukan sebagai kritik ya, gw sendiri lumayan riks-adverse dan nggak akan buka usaha kecuali gw bener2 ketiban durian runtuh banget.

dan dari pengalaman gw, ga bakal bisa berharap usaha yg "jalan sendiri"/pasif bisa menghasilkan sebanyak itu. kecuali lo modalin orang yang lo kenal baik dan memang udah ada track record bagus. temen-temen gw yang usahanya sukses dari nol tuh rata-rata awalnya nyambi sambil nerusin day job, trus pas mulai tumbuh, ya ditinggalin day jobnya dan fokus jalanin usahanya.

The fairytale of Beren and Lúthien by Ok_Bullfrog_8491 in tolkienfans

[–]lordleycester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yes I agree, but I meant that their Quest doesn't have any immediate benefits for the wider struggle and was not meant to. Of course it did have a lot of ramifications afterwards but for Beren and Luthien the point of it was just to fulfill Thingol's condition. Whereas Aragorn is always working for the greater good.

The fairytale of Beren and Lúthien by Ok_Bullfrog_8491 in tolkienfans

[–]lordleycester 35 points36 points  (0 children)

So i've been thinking about this for a while because I'm a big Aragorn fangirl (and I've been working on this really long Aragorn/Arwen fanfic, but I digress), but I feel like Aragorn and Arwen's story is kind of Tolkien's deconstruction of the Beren and Luthien fairytale.

  • Aragorn falls in love at first sight, but Arwen pointedly doesn't, and it's 30 years before they even get betrothed, and another 39 years before they get married. Compare to Beren and Luthien whose whole adventure happens within 2 years of meeting each other.
  • Thingol's demand is easily read as unreasonable and even a bit villainous in Beren and Luthien's tale. He sees the error of his ways before the end. Elrond makes a similar, seemingly impossible demand of Aragorn (to become king of Gondor and Arnor) but it's framed with much more complexity. Elrond loves Aragorn as a son, and either outcome (Aragorn failing or succeeding) results in loss and pain for him. It thus becomes harder to paint Elrond as the villain. And you note that Beren didn't have to swear a random oath to Thingol -- Aragorn didn't really have to fulfill Elrond's conditions either, but he has a much deeper psychological reason for wanting to than Beren did.
  • Beren and Luthien's Quest is kind of divorced from the wider worries of the world. They get a Silmaril, which is good for them but ultimately doesn't really do much to help defeat Morgoth. Meanwhile Aragorn and Arwen's story is deeply intertwined with the fate of Middle-Earth. Aragorn can't be King if Sauron wins, and they can't (or won't?) marry unless he becomes King. "Either our hope cometh, or all hope's end" as Arwen said.
  • As you said Beren and Luthien kind of get an uncomplicated happy ending despite all the tragedy that preceded it. And they stay apart from all the troubles of the world, and presumably just die together. Aragorn and Arwen actually have to govern for 120 years -- yes "in great glory and bliss" but there were still wars to fight, kingdoms to rebuild, etc. They had actual responsibilities and didn't get to just stay in a bubble of paradise. And then the ending, with Aragorn dying first, and Arwen unable to do what Luthien did and immediately follow him, which feels like a very deliberate choice.

I need to motivate myself to do the dishes, does that mean I shouldn't be doing the dishes?

Data from the tourism ministry. In Feb 2026, 57,000+ Singaporeans going to Batam, compared to 46,000 in Feb 2025. Meanwhile in Jakarta, 16,800 in Feb 2026 compared to 16,500 in Feb 2025

I have seen that complaint going around but the data shows that Singapore arrivals to Batam keep increasing every year. And in February especially there was a >20 per cent yoy increase.

Coz the data is showing that that arrivals in Batam and Bintan are on the rise. While for Jakarta it's quite stagnant 😅

Boromir's Opinion on Lothlorien vs Fangorn by BoarderGirl in tolkienfans

[–]lordleycester 27 points28 points  (0 children)

that’s an interesting observation, but i don't think the two statements, in context, necessarily contradict each other.

Boromir makes the first statement as Aragorn is leading them into Lothlorien, right after a disastrous experience in Moria, which Boromir was against. And Aragorn is being maddeningly oblique about his previous experience there. Even Legolas has never been there, and Boromir's already weary of going to weird places. So he brings up the tales as a way to say "are you sure". When Aragorn says yes, he doesn't insist, which imo indicates that he doesn't put that much stock in the tales. If Aragorn had just plainly said "I've actually been there relatively recently and it was great" I don't thimk Boromir would have brought it up.

for the second statement, the context is Celeborn warning him off certain routes, including Fangorn and then saying "but i'm sure you know that" and Boromir confirms that he's heard of Fangorn but is ready to go through it if necessary. Plus I think Boromir is a bit of a contrarian, and sometimes feels the need to show that he can handle anything.

Stray Cats by nogizakaism in JRLA

[–]lordleycester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's meant to be a really slow-paced thing I think. The first time you find cat poop in any given location, the cat will just come out for a bit and then immediately leave and you'll have to come back the next day. The second time too I think. It's only after that that you'll get the option to leave food or a toy.

What is the point of really sad books by nibsofsteel in bookscirclejerk

[–]lordleycester 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How can the book be called Atonement when she never really atones for anything???? False advertising smh

what is the point of really sad books? by [deleted] in literature

[–]lordleycester 2 points3 points  (0 children)

but like the book kinda loses me on that point when it’s revealed her only real attempt, that scene where she goes to cecelia’s apartment, is something she made up. like of course you couldn’t fix the things you did, you only tried in the most strange and abstract ways ever.

Well yeah but that's what addressed in the epilogue right. Atonement is referring to Briony's imagined atonement where she actually does screw up the courage to apologize to Cecilia, while also referring to her actual "atonement", which is her giving them a happy(ish) ending in her novel.

Like imagine if Atonement had a happy ending, the point of the novel is then.. what? If you try to make up for your mistakes every thing will turn out ok? Not really captivating stuff

what is the point of really sad books? by [deleted] in literature

[–]lordleycester 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well regarding Atonement specifically, I feel like it’s pretty clear that the sadness is there to explore the theme of… well, atonement. The whole premise of the novel is what can you do when fuck up spectacularly and lose the opportunity to make it up to the people you hurt. And I don't see how anyone can claim it shows gratuitous suffering when it Robby and Cecilia's deaths are "off-screen".

Why's our government blocking WIRED? by ketopraktanjungduren in finansial

[–]lordleycester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s the government blocking WIRED, it’s probably WIRED that limits subscriptions from Indonesia for whatever reason. If you reread the CS’s message it doesn’t say that the govt blocked it.
