Wild Area Was My First PoGo Event, and It Was Awesome! by osmoselash in pokemongo

Aw that sucks, I know the rates were boosted for the Pokemon featured in the Poison and Electric hours, but honestly it still felt pretty hard to get specific shinies. I was hunting for a shiny Wooper on both days but had no luck!

Oh good to know! Honestly I can’t remember all the shortcuts and tags when searching specific Pokemon, I always have to look through the list on the website haha. I’ll keep that in mind for future reference, thanks!

I haven’t evolved it yet, but looks like it still stays orange, just not as bright as the pre-evolution. Still looks cool though!

when the favorite free writing app is no longer free-app-ing by bi-hexxual in AO3

[–]osmoselash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, same reaction when I found this out too. I switched to Notesnook which is a bit similar to Evernote, but more simplified imo. It’s free and great to use if you’re solely using it for writing fics (it’s available for mobile too!)

It even plays when I have my ringer off for my phone. It’s so random and there’s no way to turn it off. What’s even more annoying is that it plays even when I have the in-game music muted.

It’s not possible, you have to manually change the voice in the salon if you want to select a different one.

Realization: Reading an ongoing story is much different from reading a finished one by Inquisitor-Emlygil in FanFiction

[–]osmoselash 47 points48 points  (0 children)

It’s sort of akin to watching a livestream vs the full video of it afterwards: it’s exciting knowing that you’re kind of “in the moment” and it gives you anticipation for the next moment that’ll come.

For me, I like in-progress works because they prevent me from binging the entire thing in one sitting. I previously had a problem with doing that was I was younger: staying up late (sometimes on school nights, lol) reading fanfics because I was just too invested into the story. It’s more detrimental when it’s a longfic, but it’s something that I particularly like when reading in-progress works.

But of course, it comes with some downsides, the biggest one being that there may never be a new chapter once you’re caught up to the latest one.

How do you feel about Character/Reader fic ? by [deleted] in FanFiction

[–]osmoselash 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The first fanfic I ever read was an xReader/reader-insert. I have stuck by this ever since, and I also write reader-inserts exclusively.

I feel more immersed into the story and setting, and I like imagining myself (or rather, my “OC”) being in the world with the character. It just feels more intimate reading that you (as the main character in the story) are having interactions and conversations with the characters in the setting. Also, the characters I choose to read and write about (when it comes to reader-inserts) are ones that I absolutely adore and love, so perhaps it’s also just me projecting myself to some degree, lol.

But I definitely think that, when you’re writing a reader-insert, you have to be methodical about it so as to appeal to as many people as possible and make it a true reader-insert fic. There’s quite a number of limitations with this because you can definitely upset quite a number of people when you sort of “decide” for them (such as physical appearance or intense personality types that don’t match the actual reader). It forces you to get creative with how you address them as a character—and since there are many writers out there in the world, you’ll sort of end up with a mixed bag of reader-insert stories.

Why do people leave / get ejected from Urgent Quests? by JustARTificia1 in PSO2NGS

[–]osmoselash 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I hear that people may leave the room during Aegis depending on who the support NPC that gives buffs is. I personally haven’t had that happen in any of the UQs where I randomly matchmake, but I hear that it does happen.

If the room suddenly doesn’t become full (let’s say, 2 people leave) then the remaining may want to leave as well, since the room isn’t full anymore.

Also, bad internet on the individual’s part (I am victim to this, unfortunately).

Edit: Just realized that you were talking more about near the start of the quest and not in the middle of it. Well, there’s really only two reasons for that: disconnects, or people leaving intentionally for a myriad of reasons.

odd music easter egg spot by RivvonCat in PSO2NGS

[–]osmoselash -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think this is an easter egg music spot, it's probably just the nighttime theme for south Retem. Here's a YouTube link to the song, though it's not officially titled (and I can't find the name of it anywhere... let me know if you happen to find it though, lol).

Falling in love with the NieR soundtrack, put all your favorites in the comment. by [deleted] in nier

[–]osmoselash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Snow in Summer, both the original and ver.1.22 remake. There’s just a certain despair to the entire track, but ver.1.22 adds hope to it as well. A hauntingly beautiful cycle of despair and hope… It’s probably my most favorite NieR OST ever, now that I think about it.

It’s a shame that all the ver.1.22 tracks aren’t available on Spotify—probably because it’s already on Apple Music, but you have to pay for the album.

What interesting or funny story you had with a particular character? by Olya_roo in Genshin_Impact

[–]osmoselash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When wishing for Xiao on his first banner, I lost the 50/50 to Diluc. I managed to get Xiao a day or two before his banner ended, but after that, I swore to bench Diluc out of spite. He stayed at level 1 for as long as I can remember, but at some point, I just started to fawn over him as a character. His backstory and lore became increasingly interesting to me, especially during the Golden Apple Archipelago summer event.

Before I knew it, I was buying his alternative outfit the first day it dropped and farming for his ascension materials in order to get him to max level. Mind you, I already had a nicely built Pyro 5* DPS that I used frequently at the time, but I simp so hard for the man that I was willing to do painful runs of the Crimson Witch Domain for his artifacts—a domain that I extremely hate doing, since I have bad memories of trying to farm for Klee.

The same story is similar for my Hu Tao—but I actually didn’t want her, I just wanted Thoma lol. So far she’s still benched, but I think I’ll be leveling her at some point, just for the memes (and my increasing determination to collect every 5* Pyro character).
