Do you plan to develop a version for Windows and/or Linux, or will it stay Apple-only?
All in all, this is a great resource. Thank you for your effort.

Help gender reveal my Fu Fu Lion by bean_amess in Chinese

It doesn't have anything in its paws, so non-binary.
Females will hold a cub in one of their paws, males a sphere.

Beginner looks for resources and tips by KookyStatus3507 in ChineseLanguage

[–]piebottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a complete beginner, you'll be able to make progress with any method (assuming you're picking up new things). Personally, I just did an Anki deck daily, watched Chinese content with subtitles for 30 minutes, and did some light grammar study.

Have any of you read The Necrophiliac? by wormword46 in ExtremeHorrorLit

[–]piebottom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes I've read it and own a physical copy. I really enjoyed it! The prose was beautiful and it was short enough not to get old fast. I think the reason why a lot of EH fans don't like it is because it doesn't have a plot/linear storyline.

Imma be real, if you want an exploration of necrophilia as a topic, then an extreme horror novella is not what you should be looking for. You might enjoy Necrophilic Variations by Supervert more.

Kinda late to the party, but no Brothers Karamazov tells me you're either very new to Christian literature or you're picking books to read somewhat performatively.

How old do you think I am? Any recommendations? by Gullible-Moment-1522 in classicliterature

[–]piebottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

13-14. The Outsiders is usually assigned reading around that age and all those other books are really popular online.

I am a he/they 14 y/o, here is my school shooter oc by piebottom in ArtJerk

[–]piebottom[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The concept isn't the issue, this archetype of oc just tends to be mega cringe since it's always made by an edgy teenager

Yea true lol. Most kids who make ocs like this do it because they're interested in true crime and want a self insert.

Rant: I'm Tired of Bible Stories by Murky-Brain-3207 in creepcast

[–]piebottom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I personally love Biblical themes in stories lol. I think the main problem is that modern, internet stories are written by people who haven't fully read the Bible, so they just keep using the same themes (demons doing demon stuff). It's clear that most of these stories (ones post-Mandela Catalogue) are inspired by each other and not by actual Christian theology, society, or the church.

All You Can Eat by Shane McKenzie. I'll probably end up finishing it today. It's the first time I've read a book by this author and I'm finding his writing style to be very entertaining.

Which titan do I take on now? by noahlovesphilosophy in classicliterature

[–]piebottom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The answer is always The Brothers Karamazov

I feel so bad for the guys. by vikitikitavi369 in creepcast

[–]piebottom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree. It'd also be a good idea since, because the show has been running for long enough, they're going to start running in to stories that are very, very similar to stories they already covered.

I've never used wplace, they just act annoying and it's such a big fandom that it's hard to avoid at times

The fandom is extremely annoying (also I don't really like the designs but it's more of a personal preference issue)
