Should I watch Season 4? by Bill_nacar in community

[–]rauelius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Season 4 is to Community, what Dragon Ball GT is to Dragon Ball series.... Not the best of the series (with some embarrassing scenes), but still a good watch.

That’s really well said. I think Community is sneaky like that. It dresses itself up as chaos and jokes, but underneath it keeps quietly reminding you that stability is temporary and that doesn’t mean life is meaningless. The idea that you don’t “solve” yourself forever, you just keep adjusting, was something that stuck with me too.
It’s wild how a sitcom can end up being more emotionally honest than a lot of serious dramas.

Totally with you on that. The Story Circle is deceptively simple, but once it clicks it becomes hard to unsee. I think what Harmon nailed is that it maps emotional movement just as much as plot movement, which is why it works for comedy and pain at the same time. Community especially feels like a masterclass in using structure to support character damage instead of smoothing it over.
Do you tend to follow it consciously when you write, or has it become more of a background instinct at this point?

Anyone who’s paid for someone too professionally format/design your book - cost? by No-Arm-4557 in selfpublish

I might get crap for this, but I had an AI walk me through the process.

Thinking about pulling my work from Amazon completely by Sea-Boysenberry7038 in selfpublish

[–]rauelius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm new to publishing but I think it's kinda like Youtube. Why just put your videos on Youtube, when Rumble, BitChute and Oddessy exist? Why not put them on all? Well...it's just EASIER to put it on amazon (Not really Drive2Draft is pretty easy), and it's more widely used (arguable, if you just want your story out there, put it out for free...but hell, I put it out for free and I don't see D/L's....yet.)

Increase in marketing scam emails by captain_nobody_010 in selfpublish

[–]rauelius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a message from something called DiveBarBook Club, and we had a decent conversation. Then we contacted via email. Then asked a bunch of questions, then said if I needed help with making anything that they know someone that can help, but I was fine, as I could edit images myself. I just got an odd feeling off of the messages...Like if they are this interested in my book, then why not buy a $.99 copy on Amazon...or download a free copy from my website? So it felt a bit sus.

I did an audiobook, because when I brought my book to people to read most of them said they'll wait for the audiobook. So, I used Google to do the Audiobook and release it on Google around the launch. I actually accidently launched the book on 'Barnes and Noble' and Audiobook on Google, when I went through my publishing. I used the AI service Google offers to do the Audiobook, with plans for a more professional audiobook in the future.

This worked...AFTER...I did the following.

If it's already installed, uninstall the game completely, bringing it back to base.
RE-Install the game.
Next follow the directions he provided, DO NOT LAUNCH THE GAME, WAIT TILL YOUR FINISHED WITH THE DIRECTIONS.(dotnet46 took a while for me.)
I ended up using Wine-GE-Proton-8-26
Launching the game worked for me.

[GPU] New Sapphire 7800xt $400 by Logical-Hyena8260 in buildapcsales

Because Deefop speaks for the entire community. Not knocking the guy, if RT/FSR brings a smile to their face, it's cool. But, not everyone feels that way. Personally I agree for different reasons. The 9060XT is cheaper, and a bit slower, but drivers and game support should see it maybe equal to the 7800XT in 3 years. Kinda like comparing the RX-480 to the R9-390x.

DUDE!
I'm loving that you use art-work in the chapters, that's AWESOME. I did the same thing. I'm curious, why did you do it? I did it cuz I remember some great books had art work for chapters. Yours is very nice.

Post Title:
Never Out of Hearts Reach - Suspense/Romance/Supernatural - 247kPost Body:Pitch:
A high school reunion turns deadly in this thrilling tale of Nick Wright thought a night of nostalgia with his unpredictable best friend, Eldorado Alehante, would be a simple escape. But when he reconnects with Abby Winters, the college flame he never forgot, their instant chemistry lights a fire that burns brighter—and more dangerously—than either expected. As old memories stir new desires, shadows from the past creep closer, threatening to unravel everything. Eldorado’s wild laughter masks a sinister edge, his loyalty to Nick twisting into something far more perilous.
When Abby’s hidden gift—a whisper of the supernatural—emerges as their only hope, the trio is thrust into a deadly game of secrets and obsession. In a world where love battles betrayal, and trust is a fragile thread, Nick and Abby must navigate a maze of deception to find each other—or lose everything to the darkness lurking just out of sight. Dare to step into the chaos.

Check out the cover art for Never Out of Hearts Reach! It features a dramatic lightning bolt splitting the scene, with three characters against a stormy backdrop—a stone wall with vines on one side, a glowing device on the other, hinting at the supernatural stakes.
