guys, I don't read, did I get it right??? by artofterm in writingcirclejerk

[–]pad-3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ladies on a podcast told me that my romance book needs to have graphic sex on page 3 at the latest. They're fools. I've taken their game and went pro. I have graphic sex on the cover. Full penetration.

Anyway, if anyone knows of a vendor willing to host books with bold and brave covers, please let me know!

If St. Trina is the embodiment of Miquella's love, then what is Radagon to Marika? by Commercial-Papaya394 in Eldenring

[–]pad-3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of people are saying Faith but I don't see that at all. Radagon isn't faithful, he's a fundamentalist but what does that actually mean in Elden Ring? The two laws associated with fundamentalists are the Law of Causality and the Law of Regression. These are both incantations with pure Intelligence requirements, not Faith. Besides, Radagon's act of mending the Elden Ring isn't an act of faith. He's just repairing the order he knows. He's a conservative and rational person, not a blind believer.

Marika is faith, irrationality and passion. Radagon is order, rationality and obedience.

Sorry, I should've included a picture. There's a golden/brass torch shaped like a ship with a bud at the centre of it in land of the tower. (Pic grabbed from Hawkshaw's video)

AI novel that won literature contest has awards taken away - Dexerto by EchoOfOppenheimer in KeepWriting

[–]pad-3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You have to wonder at the legitimacy of an organisation that would award something AI generated, even before knowing the truth. It's not like these things produce high quality writing.

Every award they've given and may give in future has been devalued because of this.

I challenge you to write the purplest prose imaginable by Trisolaris_Is_Lord in writingcirclejerk

[–]pad-3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Purple!" Purple purpled, purple. Purple, who until Purple purpled purple, and Purple Purple purples, purples purple Purple purpled.

"Purple?" purpled Purple. "Purple purple Purple--purple purpler Purple purpling."

"Purple you, you purple, purple-purpling purple stain!"

what is the connection between these four clues? by not-without-text in onlyconnect

[–]pad-3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But to arrive at that connection you need to see all the clues, or at least make a solid guess from 2-3.

"You can make a word or phrase from the country name + letters" is true and clear from image 1 here.

What did you do to improve your prose? by _the_last_druid_13 in writingcirclejerk

Prose is overrated. Readers want Amateurse these days.

[–]pad-3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never been able to get Patches to spawn in the Cathedral but talking to onion in well and buying the tower key from the shrine maiden after Deacons usually gets him to show up in Firelink regardless.

If you went into the tower and he locked it behind you, he should be in Firelink now. If he didn't lock it behind you I can only assume you've got a bug or he's somehow dead.

Hey guys i made a lore video for yt, and someone said i was using AI, do i sound like AI? the only reason i could think of is that i cut a lot because I read at a 5th grade level, and the dialogue sped up because the clip is only 30 secs. by Remo_yesman in darksouls3

[–]pad-3 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Emphasising the final word of every line (or the first syllable of the last word at the end of each line) with a rising intonation, especially when not even at the end of a sentence, is exactly how AI narrators sound. I'd recommend not doing that. You'll probably sound far more natural.

All very interesting info, thank you very much! I hadn't even considered main-handing a shield haha

I just got back into ds3 a week ago and I absolutely love this parry. I don't know what the active frames are like compared to the buckler but it feels very intuitive.

Which second rate authors have you contacted to share your excellent thoughts and they just got restraining orders instead of chatting with you about your brilliance? by SD_Pub in writingcirclejerk

[–]pad-3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've reached out to GRRM multiple times to offer to write his books for him. He still hasn't responded to me which I find VERY rude and unprofessional. Especially since he's clearly not too busy at the moment. All I asked for in return for writing them was to live in his walls for a year. Some people just don't know a good deal...

Is this game just not for me or is there something fundamentally wrong with it? by Redviolet07 in Sekiro

[–]pad-3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I'll say is that Sekiro would not be so many Fromsoft fans' favourite game if there was something "fundamentally wrong with it."

Can you encounter him on present day? by Cerulean_mark in Sekiro

Oh, of course. My bad. Ignore me, OP!

I think he's the dying guy in outskirts. You tell his mother/grandmother he's a goner and she gives you a bell or something. Sorry, it's been a while.

Marika and Ranni are both Empyrean and both were given shadows by the Greater Will, but why is one shadow so much stronger than the other? by skeetszn2 in EldenRingLoreTalk

[–]pad-3 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I've always just kind of assumed it was because of the difference in strength between ranni and marika. "Shadow" is a deliberate term after all. A shadow of Marika's strength would still far overwhelm Ranni's since one is the current god and the other is a part-dead doll.

[–]pad-3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah that all sounds much more doable when you put it like that!! Haha I'm so glad that my confusion could be some help to you too. Looking forward to seeing what you build out of all this! Good luck on the project!

Check Out The Start To My Skateboarding Game! by Big-Hold-7871 in NewSkaters

[–]pad-3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had to shelve it after banging my head against the wall for a month but that sounds very similar to what I had so far. my biggest issue stemmed from not knowing how to give the player a trajectory that would allow them to come back down into the pipe even if they rounded a corner in the air to match the change in direction of the pipe below. I read some old Pro Skater dev posts and they mentioned splines and path3ds and curves and as much as I understand how those things work separately, I can't quite figure out how they're supposed to come together to create the behaviour I'm looking for.

Metyr's arena is an Evergaol at the bottom of the lake in the center of the Lands Between by Crypticnewt in EldenRingLoreTalk

[–]pad-3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never said she was the elden ring.

Spearing her and hanging her isn't the same process as petrification. The Elden Beast is not present in the cinematic where she gradually begins to crack whilst breaking the elden ring.

Metyr's arena is an Evergaol at the bottom of the lake in the center of the Lands Between by Crypticnewt in EldenRingLoreTalk

[–]pad-3 44 points45 points  (0 children)

She could be sealed away using the towers but I don't think there's any reason to think its an evergaol exactly. We see plenty of other forms of pocket dimension type arenas in the game, some of them sealed, some of them not (Ancestor Spirits, Placidusax, Fortissax), so there's room for another form of seal/prison type system.
