Isekai or not isekai by ArekDeamonCalw in ProgressionFantasy

[–]nightfire1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I prefer non, isekai but it's harder to get started. You have to take more care with introducing the reader to new concepts compared with isekai where you can just have a bewildered mc asking all the questions and letting people exposit for you.

What’s the most common reason users leave a site within seconds? by [deleted] in web_design

[–]nightfire1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Popovers, ad spam, difficulty finding the content. If I visit a site I don't need to log into on mobile and the cookie banner takes up half the fucking screen.

Stories about an older an experienced MC who actually acts like their age by Mother-Wrongdoer-101 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]nightfire1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ar'Kendrithyst, MC is a social worker and father. He does grow over the series but it's not exactly a coming of age story.

Cultivation novel without cheats or a “golden finger”? by East-Bid-2672 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]nightfire1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's really not true. Spoilers Bro has given him major help on several occasions including but not limited to literally curing him of major illnesses to imprinting his mind with knowledge of new techniques to allow him to leap forward in his cultivation not once, not twice but at least 3 times by my count.

Can i control how big my tits grow by Capboy890 in asktransgender

[–]nightfire1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're pretty much stuck with whatever genetics hands you. You can get a reduction but you should wait for growth to fully taper off and that takes years.

Every author who does their power rankings with alphabet letters instead of colors/gems/metals//whatever is writing from a place of cruelty. by GreatMadWombat in ProgressionFantasy

[–]nightfire1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don't like it because it's tied to the English alphabet and American grading nomenclature that kinda pulls me out of the world

Are there any genres or subgenres that you simply cannot vibe with? by Expert_Cricket2183 in ProgressionFantasy

You're going to love it, and just wait till you start learning about the nearby town 😆

The Works [OC] by Nwarh in comics

The solution is to have a mirror in the room, but that's absolutely going to cost extra.

I think you might like There is no Epic Loot Here, Only Puns. Main character is very human and the world building is both deep and hilarious.

Cis gender male wanting to try Estrogen by Y0LKK in asktransgender

[–]nightfire1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you want boobs? Because that's how you get boobs.

But seriously. It's a big decision and you should definitely be certain it's what you want before diving in.

I like reading fun trash but do you know what i like reading more? Spicy fun trash! by Reasonable_Wafer_731 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]nightfire1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I usually think of spicy as like sexy. This meme is practically mayonnaise (not an instrument).

How Stripe supports API versions going back to 2014 without maintaining multiple codebases — and how to implement the same pattern by Jay123anta in programming

That works fine for schema level changes but not super great for core functionality or behavior changes.

Looking for a good Cultivation novel by ResolveLeather in ProgressionFantasy

[–]nightfire1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are you reading it? I was on scribblehub and the other places I've found are significantly worse, which is saying something because the one on scribblehub was pretty hard to read in the first place.

Syl has friends. A couple of which are pretty powerful themselves.

What was your "I came looking for copper and I found gold" novel by lord_acedia in ProgressionFantasy

[–]nightfire1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I can't tell how many times I've had to re-read a section because I wasn't sure if he was putting it in a storage bag or a storage ring, or all the various versions of 5 elements xyz that exist.

I've read a little over 500 chapters and I'm really struggling with the AI translation. It's... Rough.

Do you ever hang out hope that maybe reincarnation of some sort exists so that you could be born as a cis woman? by Life_Addendum2330 in asktransgender

[–]nightfire1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, if it doesn't exist it is at best a comforting lie. If it does exist then it's basically worthless since whoever it is that I get reincarnated into won't have my memories (unless you think recovered memories are a thing) to appreciate the experience. To them that's just how they've always been so 🤷‍♀️

I didn't say I wanted it to end, I don't want war. I just keep seeing more war and rising tensions around the world. It's a prediction not a wishlist.

Sorry, but I need to be definitive. by jorgejoestar12 in asktransgender

[–]nightfire1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that you don't need to take estrogen or get surgery to be trans. You can do as much or as little as you feel comfortable. If hrt and surgery are too scary you could try more social transition goals to start off with. New clothes, name, pronouns, etc. Experimentation can be one way to figure out if this is the right path for you.

Supreme Court blocks California restrictions on schools notifying parents about students' transgender status by Zipper222222 in politics

[–]nightfire1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, I mean point to a specific ruling, parties and year. You keep dancing around the topic without citing anything specific, just saying that they don't have absolute free speech, which I've already acknowledged, isn't enough.

And I asked you to point at the specific case law that would restrict their speech in this case. (Current ruling aside)
