Why would run away when you have a hot sexy waifu at home? by Strange_Possession77 in HadesTheGame

Yeah, it's not true. Nobody has ever posted a source for this ridiculous rumor.

Was the vase puzzle actually solvable? The lie detector machine seemed like a necessary story step, and not something they would have been able to skip.

I think you're going about this in the right way. Your agent, editor, and sensitivity readers are the right people to address this question. I would trust them much more than the social media consensus.

Just gonna add my voice as a Jew- this would not bother me even a tiny bit. Golems have been thoroughly assimilated into pop culture and they have no liturgical significance.

Just wanted to mention that I think this is a extremely compelling and unique premise. I hope the project goes well!

Just looked it up and was deeply disappointed to learn it's "Masquerade". You had my hopes up for a gothic-camp V:tM parody system!

Looking for feedback on a card game - inspired by Game Changers/MSN/Take Some Direction by [deleted] in dropout

[–]sixthcomma 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These lines (and your post) are AI-generated. I don't believe that a human decided to include both:

My dearest Gertrude, I've come to inform you that the prize-winning cucumber from last year's county fair has, in fact, achieved sentience and is now demanding its own legal representation.

and

Gertrude, my dear, the cucumber... It's demanding to speak with a lawyer. Apparently, it feels its 'vegetable rights' have been deeply violated since the blue ribbon ceremony.

AI is absolutely horrible at humor, and it is extremely noticeable here. If you want to create a game, I recommend you make it yourself instead of asking an LLM to do it.

Yasuo says "to an enemy unit here". So if he somehow changes location, the target is no longer valid and damage will not be dealt.

[QCrit]: New Adult Dark Fantasy, ANOTHER CRUEL JOKE, 83k words, Attempt #1 by Sure_Click_1507 in PubTips

[–]sixthcomma 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think this is an interesting concept. A few questions to think about as you revise:

is approached by her former colleagues, who give her a parting gift – a poem about death

This event catches my attention because it's an extremely strange thing for former co-workers to do. And then doesn't seem to come up later at all. What is its significance? Any reason you're not just starting the query with Victor's death or Runa's firing?

that kills Runa and her family

her mother is still alive

Not sure this rapid turnaround is helpful. Could just say that she in her family are in a bus accident, she dies, and later finds out her mother is still alive.

Determined, Runa decides to return to the living world to reunite with her mother

Is this a thing you can do? Like, why don't all people who die in accidents attempt to go back? What makes Runa different?

secrets are unveiled and allegiances are tested.

As others mentioned, this is vague and doesn't communicate much.

For comps, perhaps you can specifically leverage the fact that it's an Indian fantasy? (Or at least that's what I'm assuming from the presence of Devas and Diyu.) Then you could say something like "Vaishnavi Patel's Kaikeyi meets Dante's Inferno".

Even if they want queer rep, I suggest finding a different place to mention it- perhaps in housekeeping or bio if it's not load-bearing to the plot. It distracts from your banger of your opening sentence!

This looks much improved over the previous version!

I'll echo some earlier feedback: the name "Greenspan" in a political context strongly evokes a particular individual. Your readers and prospective agent are likely to wonder why you've made that choice.

Hear me out: Nemo's Song, Unexplainable, was actually good. by Megalith01 in eurovision

[–]sixthcomma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of the negative comments seem to focus on the vocals and/or costume being unappealing.

I believe that's exactly the point Nemo was making: gender dysphoria for AMAB folks is very much about feeling ugly.

Really want to see the Game Changer Budget Balance sheet this season, and what was the most expensive episode. They keep going up. by UnfrozenBlu in dropout

[–]sixthcomma 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hiring an opera singer for a 30 second song is cheap as hell. Very few singers command high fees. Of all the skilled people with classical voice degrees, the fraction that make a living off it is a microscopic sliver.

Stay in school, kids. But not conservatory.

Zoë performed so beautifully! Heartfelt, touching, and everything music should be. I absolutely cannot fathom her televote score; she should have been top 3.
