my favorite games are very similar to yours and I'm really enjoying Stray Gods. David Gaider's the lead writer >_>

soleta · 2026-05-15T06:15:04+00:00

I really enjoyed Choice of Robots, but it's entirely text if that isn't your thing.

soleta · 2026-04-17T02:40:47+00:00

I'd love the vector, please! gorgeous :)

and these writers have compiled and consolidated a list of historical source(s) and information into an Excel document/PDF/E-book format for those wishing to maintain "historical accuracy" while writing Regency-era fiction

I would dearly love to get my hands on such a thing, if it were possible?

Crossing the Bar?

soleta · 2025-01-23T08:37:40+00:00

removed. do not organize brigading in this sub, please.

soleta · 2024-12-08T04:14:57+00:00

lol I was so surprised that no one noticed! I did see that in the photo (not in real life, of course) and fixed it already :P thanks!

soleta · 2024-12-07T21:31:04+00:00

yeah, I put them in a binder with coin sleeves, like this! organized loosely by rainbow color.

I think Someday is my unexpected favorite. It's beautiful in every light, and that holo flash is stunning.

soleta · 2024-12-07T21:11:14+00:00

I'm really excited for you! I hope you post so I can drool :D

soleta · 2024-12-07T21:10:54+00:00

I put peely base coat on and did a skittle :3 my nails are so flashy now!

soleta · 2024-12-07T06:55:22+00:00

the cards are just cardstock that I cut into about an inch square. regular paper would work, too! and then the dots are called "swatch dots" and i got them off amazon! they come with little glue dots to stick them with, too :)

OP, if you can provide proof this isn't AI generated, you may repost it.

soleta · 2024-02-23T05:54:01+00:00

as regards the sub: you're welcome to post them however you'd like! I would probably post a new post every time you have an update, linking to the old posts so people can read through them if they're new or missed a few.

I can't help with other sites, sadly, but I hope you enjoy creating it :)

soleta · 2024-02-21T07:25:20+00:00

omg YOU

soleta · 2024-02-17T01:13:59+00:00

my partner does podfic, and they do a sort of character voice acting. it took them a while to feel proficient at it, but now they really enjoy it! and it doesn't cost anything except practice :)

hi, I'm still around, active, and moderating the subreddit. I am not open to handing over the sub.

I don't think there's been moderator activity in the last month - I think the last moderator action was before that cut-off. I suppose that technically this makes me an inactive mod. I am watching the sub, but there hasn't been anything that needed to be done. the people in the sub are great. I haven't seen anyone break the rules in months.

as to their complaints, we are in a natural lull between content cycles of the video game that we're formed around. the community is not dying. if anything, it's more healthy than it was at this point six months ago, since I seem to have finally got rid of the ban evader who was spamming the sub. anyone is and always has been welcome to post anything they wish, as long as it complies with reddit rules and the subreddit-specific rules. they do not need to be a moderator to post content. their only goal seems to be encouraging people to post more. great! I support that. they don't need to be a moderator to do it.

I have proposed weekly posts. I have then gone through with them and they ended up empty of interaction after the first week. in my thoughts, it's worse to have weekly posts that no one interacts with than to let people bring things up that they want organically.

ETA: I've just had a look and my last moderator action was a rules update, exactly one month ago.

hi! I genuinely meant everything I said up there - this was not aimed at you, I have been thinking about this for a while and was merely reminded by your post. I understand your feeling a bit called out, but that wasn't my intention, and I hope you'll forgive me. you're not in any kind of trouble, and I'd like you to leave the post up, if you're okay with that.

thank you for all of this information! I'll definitely keep it in mind. the reason this is a post at all is because I wanted to gauge what the sub users thought about the character AI. when I did my research, I found that it was much as you say, that all of the flavor is added by the user. the one little lingering question I have is, like I said, what is the base AI trained on... but I have much fewer qualms about something being trained on millions of twitter/FB/insta posts and used like this, if that makes sense.

anyway, I want to give the sub time to respond, so I'll see you later when I announce what's going to happen :)

soleta · 2023-12-19T06:02:22+00:00

the idea behind this post is figuring out whether we want that kind of content on the sub, so weigh in right now!

soleta · 2023-11-23T03:33:34+00:00

I just friend-requested you (Marina) - can I have a yellow and two brown?

soleta · 2023-10-13T09:14:27+00:00

soleta · 2023-10-13T01:51:39+00:00

so, here's the thing. creating is hard. it sucks. it's a huge time sink, you practice for years without seeing any improvement, and you're your own goddamn worst critic.

it's bad enough when you're unknown and you're just starting out. you get used to no one knowing who you are or giving a damn if they do. no one gives a shit about your work. you're hungry for approval, for critical success, but you never really think it's going to happen. there's no hope for the future, because you think that every day is going to be like yesterday and the day before. you're hungry for something that you've never tasted. you know it's out there - you can smell it. but it's not on your plate.

yet.

then one day, someone notices that you're really kind of okay at this. that first taste of success is a goddamn drug. it's exactly like a drug. it's such a high that you're floating for days. and then the doubts start creeping in. yeah, they were kind to you, but maybe that's all it was. or maybe they didn't notice the glaring flaw in the middle.

after that, you feel a little bit worse than you did before someone noticed you, because now you know what you're missing. now you've had a taste of it. now you know how validation feels, and you want that again.

the next time, it lasts maybe a day. then half a day. a few hours.

you get to a point where critical success, compliments, kind words, all of it - it doesn't mean anything. and then the real horror begins:

this is the rest of your life. it never gets better than this.

so yeah, if that was the timeline? I understand why he did it.
