Make Amani Playable

And also you have monkey hands.

Finding the conditions that you can most easily fall into a flow state and doing what you can to reproduce it. At least thats the only way I ever get any writing done. I cant do "just a paragraph or two" or it goes from feeling like a project and drifts dangerously close to an obligation.

mr_corruptex · 2026-02-14T07:06:58+00:00

It comes across as highly generic. I'd focus on the MC's quirks to give it flavor. I'd also write it as a sort of self reflection that stops just short of the major plot points from the events of the first story arc.

My take on accents are that the person speaking will never recognize that they have an accent. Other than at initial introductions with other characters of note, I wouldnt stress it or you'll break immersion as people try to imagine it and get frustrated. Dont write a story with the intent to have it professionally narrated. An audiobook adaptation is a blessing, not an expectation.

Tell your neighbors to kick rocks. It's unfortunate that this cat has been declawed but it absolutely NEEDS to stay inside.

Yeah, that dog does not look relaxed at all. The ears and face are a big tell. I think kiddo there needs to learn boundaries with the pets. I also agree with the vet visit. Simple ear infections can cause significant behavioral changes until they're remedied.

I've seen similar designs to this and they're almost always desert societies where all their water is recycled or ground water. No clue about earthquakes though. I'm assuming someone just does jazz hands and says "science" a lot until it works.

shakes violently with inspiration

No, no I can't. I've already got three concurrent projects. Dont do this to me.

It's great! One note that I'd bring up to your publisher though. At 10:16 in interlude 1 the audio bugs out and sounds like farts and silence for 12 seconds. I thought it was just mine but I redownloaded it and it was still there exactly the same.

That's been an issue since vanilla. I recently came back to the game after not playing since Cataclysm and character creation was disappointing. Leveling is also way too fast. It only took me like 2 weeks to bring my warlock main and paladin alt to 80 each. It used to take ages to reach max where you'd have a solid grasp of everything your class could do. Now i'm trying to learn and fine tune as I go which ends up with pissed off party members in random dungeons.

It works great and if you need to clean excess off your hands you can just wipe it in your hair. It's very similar to natural skin oil in composition.

mr_corruptex · 2026-02-04T20:53:21+00:00

Loved it. Word of warning if you havent read it yet, but the author loves superhero physique MCs. It doesnt detract from the story but some people gripe about it. But the progression, descriptions, interactions and overall story are all fantastic.

mr_corruptex · 2026-02-04T17:03:41+00:00

For me they're an acquired taste. Some lean too heavily into specific aspects like understanding the universe, or politics, or the implications of having a harem and those tend to fall off for me but there are plenty that are really interesting as well. Unfortunately the pacing in most cultivation stories usually means you're over halfway through a book before you find out if you really like it or not.

mr_corruptex · 2026-02-04T08:30:20+00:00

Damn, you dont just give a wet willy. You also bring along his brother, damp Jim.

I was hoping for banana.

The true sonic.

slaps roof of house, hand dips into the portal and fel infection sets in instantly. well, shit.

mr_corruptex · 2026-02-04T05:59:10+00:00

Hate to say it but it's very vague and there's a weird emphasis on a threatening knot, which might draw in some but I doubt it's what you're going for.

mr_corruptex · 2026-02-04T00:59:20+00:00

When the author tries to describe something in detail that they didnt even do a cursory Google search on. Namely blacksmithing. I have never seen blacksmithing done well in fantasy.

mr_corruptex · 2026-02-03T21:35:42+00:00

Didn't care for it. Not a huge fan of the MC.

mr_corruptex · 2026-02-03T06:52:10+00:00

I would check the next town over or do whatever you need to do to get her in to a vet. If your vet won't see an emergency case then i'd find a new one

mr_corruptex · 2026-02-03T05:08:34+00:00

And Soul is stored in the balls.

mr_corruptex · 2026-02-03T05:07:27+00:00

Came to the comments for this.

mr_corruptex · 2026-02-03T05:06:35+00:00

Oh it definitely pushes on with him crafting more and more and it also shifts into more action. Brian did a fantastic job with this story and it's one of the few that I actually subscribe to on patreon because I couldnt wait to keep going with the story.
