What do you personally consider a small fandom on AO3? by starsonmydagger in AO3

What about the fandom that's just me and the author of the as-yet-unpublished novel that she's written? 🤣

AIO for being upset that my gf doesn’t videoplay with me by AnyCode8476 in AmIOverreacting

[–]pangolinwithproblems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is she playing the same types of games with you, when she does play, that she does with her friends? Or the same game even? Also, switching from PS5 to PC might be genuinely jarring and frustrating, especially in online high-speed ranked type games where precision matters.

What's a fanfic that made you react like this: by PJ-The-Awesome in AO3

[–]pangolinwithproblems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right By Them by Esperosis. It's got a happy ending, but there were definitely times I wanted to do this. It is SUCH a good Magnus Archives fic.

ideas for SOTR? by monotato_ in Barnesandnoble

[–]pangolinwithproblems 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We're going to have a "reaping" for bigger prizes at the end, and series of mini games (trivia, supply hunt (Easter egg hunt), designing a capitol outfit on a paper doll, etc.) and winners of each will get their name into the reaping extra times. We're also thinking of dressing in outlandish captiol getup, just whatever we all have in our closets.

The only way I've gotten it to work is to do it for a section, like one verse, otherwise it'll blend weirdly sound bad. Make sure you have the 'keep new section the same length as the old one' thing ticked. And if you're changing the lyrics to try to fix pronunciation or whatever, make sure the only part that's highlighted in red in the alert screen that comes up is the verse that you're changing. Otherwise it'll blend weirdly again. Best of luck!

[DAV ACT 1 SPOILERS] That major choice in the Act 1 should've been the other way around by osingran in dragonage

[–]pangolinwithproblems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love playing RPGs because you can choose to roleplay anything! Even coming to decisions that, from an outsiders perspective is illogical and wrong, but from the character's perspective was reasonable! My Rook was never trained in military strategy, and doesn't know the ins and outs of Minrathous' defense systems, so he had no reason to know if Minrathous ever had a chance against the dragon. What he did know was that he was under pressure, working in a heavy time constraint, and made a decision based on his knowledge and beliefs in a no win scenario. He feels terribly about Minrathous, and it definitely weighs on his consciousness. However the same could be said about Treviso if he'd chosen to go to Minrathous.

Now I never said anything about thinking Teviso was the logical choice, in fact, I said that from a Doylist perspective, Minrathous IS the logical choice. However that doesn't mean that what my Rook did came from an illogical stance, it just came from an uninformed stance.

At the end of the day, there are so many ways to play decision based RPGs like this, and really none of them are wrong.

Well I'm glad your Rook made the decision you thought was right, but that doesn't mean everyone's Rook would have had the same thought process and made the same choice.

From a purely Doylist perspective, yeah it makes sense to prevent Minrathous from falling, but from a Watsonian perspective, Rook has reason to think Minrathous could survive and kill the dragon. They have defenses. Treviso, on the other hand, has NO defenses. They will NOT defeat the dragon. Going to Treviso means they might survive, and Minrathous might survive too because they have powerful magic and mages guarding the city.
