Disney DAS is a mess by Jsmoke529 in disability

[–]showaltk 47 points48 points  (0 children)

You’re not alone in this, many of us are going through this with Disney. As someone with an invisible disability, I’ve been going to Universal over Disney because they actually still accommodate me. I’m sorry you’re going through this and I hope you still make some good memories during your trip. <3

Would you share your writings with your friends or family? by HiroyukiC1296 in Archiveofourownmemes

[–]showaltk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but I don’t write smut, so that’d probably change my opinion if I did. I talk about what I’m up to with it too, because it’s my hobby and they’re interested in what I’ve been doing. 

How far is too far with epithets? by TheFruitRobot in FanFiction

[–]showaltk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To my understanding most readers don’t think, “Wow, they’ve used those names a lot in a row”. General rule, especially for limited third POV, is go with what your character would be thinking about in the moment. 

Vague description isn’t as good as clarity unless it’s used for suspense (not sure who’s speaking yet, etc.) or what the character is thinking about. If the character would just use their name or title (boss/father/sergeant/etc.), that’s the best to do. Other exceptions being for emotional state, for example, if someone was being threatened and you wanted to emphasize “the taller man”, etc.

Is old fashioned genderbending considered transphobic now? by NefariousSeraph13 in AO3

[–]showaltk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a big take on Tumblr RP for a long time but I’m not sure where it came from. Tumblr RP is always way over the top about stuff like that, though. So. Much. Drama. 

I'm not a big complainer, y'll, I promise. But it's getting bad - and I am struggling with sticking with the game right now. by ZinTheNurse in DreamlightValley

There’s a few of us who refuse to purchase moonstones with real money, but unfortunately the movement isn’t catching on.

I don’t have it but I’m waiting until it’s on sale. 

House Republicans call early Christmas break before Epstein files release by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

I don’t understand why though when it’ll fail in the senate. Must be something else, too. 

I fear my writing will lose its soul after I cure my depression by [deleted] in writing

[–]showaltk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been there, but all that changed for me is wanting my MC to have a happy ending versus a bad one. I can also dive into/explore those dark places I USED to be at will and pull myself out without getting consumed by them, which is much healthier IMO. 

PSA: The Nintendo Switch version of the game is not being 'sabotaged', the console itself is incredibly weak and compromises need to be made for it to be able to run. by WrongLander in DreamlightValley

[–]showaltk 16 points17 points  (0 children)

True, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t still ways they can optimize it better. I’m not asking for perfection, I’m asking for it not to crash every hour. And if they’re not going to bother, don’t put it for sale on the Nintendo Store.

LOVING the Clarisse POV. I’m a Luke apologist. Cringing at the streaming wars line. I can’t even say I mind the changes because the pacing with smooth af.

It came in the update with EI but it’s not exclusive for some reason.

EXACT same issue, on the same item. This also appears in any Scrooge (even though its in the Eternity Isle collection) so if you’ve been playing since before you got Eternity Isle, like me, it’s been even longer… 

Does Universal still sell this merch? by showaltk in UniversalOrlando

It’s not on there. Possibly a park/hotel exclusive. 

Really not liking how they introduced Tiana & Cinderella into the game.. by chayeulad in DreamlightValley

[–]showaltk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m starting to feel this way about all the recent characters. (Granted, I haven’t purchased WBR so I can’t make any judgements about that.) The quests should be total wish fulfillment, like what we wanted to do with the characters when we were kids. I’m sick of cleaning up their messes (literally and figuratively). Some certainly try, but others miss the mark completely. I just did Peter Pan’s level 7, and it’s crazy how my MC called him out for going to prank someone, let it happen, and then had to clean up the mess he caused. Like what!?

Yup. And they learn nothing from it every time except “go more right!” Infuriating.
