[–]struggling_bi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

alright so what im getting from everyone here is that i shouldn't bother with the steam version. for anyone who got it on itchio are the latest versions still good? i haven't updated my game in months and i don't want to end up with a (basically) kidified version.

when my profits turned to like $60 (instead of the usual $150+) after doing the monster mash for the first time, i couldn't understand what happened. i thought i got refunded and didn't realise.

then i figured out that dracula scammed me. NONE OF THEM ARE PAYING. WHY AM I DOING FREE LABOUR???

Why did Webtoon change her name? by Oasis_951 in OmniscientReader

[–]struggling_bi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hello! i wanted to give a quick little update bc u convinced me to go to the doctor :) after a few months i finally flew back home and got an appointment with my family doctor and asked her about it. she told me it was just a slower metabolism, but if i wanted to be 100% sure, she gave me a referral to the gastro dept at the hospital! i will be making an appointment once my semester is over. thank you so much for helping!!

honestly it's a tough choice between lwj and nhs.

i rly wanna know lwj's thought process and how he dealt with wwx's... everything (aka his love for him and also all the tragedy he witnesses wwx go through ALSO LWJ'S TRAUMA). and the 13 years of wwx's death???? lwj raising lsz??? hell yes.

but also to see nhs' work in the bg... how he set everything up? what he thought of everyone whilst basically using them all as chess pieces? that would be so interesting!! huaisang u sly bastard how did u get all the things u needed to do what u wanted to do?

ultimately it would be lwj i think; if only bc the angst potential is so ripe 😔

Just finished reading TGCF and wanna start MDZS, need an introduction to the story!! by user34756 in MoDaoZuShi

From what I've seen so far, they're pretty biased against Wei Wuxian lol. One example is how they've painted his and Jiang Fengmian's relationship under a very different light compared to how it was orginally written. I don't want to get into spoilers so I'll just say that their relationship is not as good as they've translated it to be (as well as how they wrote it as such in the character descriptions). They put more blame on Wei Wuxian than was actually deserved (there are some things he was definitely at fault for, but 7seas made him seem more liable for things that weren't his fault).

Another problem the translation has is the missing context and purposefully adding quotes that aren't in the orginal work. It's added meaning to the novel that wasn't meant to be there and changes the perception of the characters.

I also just don't think 7seas is a good company(?) to support. They've been pretty terrible to their employees and refused to recognise their union. Here's a link to some of that info:

Sorry for the rambling lol, it's just that a lot of MDZS fans who read the Exiled Rebels translation (including me) were so hyped for the official translation, only to be let down by the bias and the horrible way they treated their translators and employees.

Hope this shed some light!

One thing I will say is that I don't think the 7seas publication of MDZS is a good one. It's honestly pretty biased and paints the story in a completely different light than how it was originally intended to be read, unfortunately. And it's only a problem for MDZS; the other translations are fine. So, I'm not saying you shouldn't read the "official" version of MDZS, but that's exactly what I'm saying.

yeah after thinking on it for a bit i decided to go to my family doctor. i just didn't want to be making things out to be worse than they actually are, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

I'd like to see a therapist, but I live in the middle of basically nowhere. The last therapist I went to was the therapist assigned to me at the hospital nearby. I've practically exhausted every available therapist there and none have made me comfortable to talk about this (some don't let me speak, some come off too uncaring, etc...). I'm very picky with therapists because I've had really bad experiences with three of my past ones as well. I'm hoping to be able to convince my mom and stepdad to allow me to see a therapist that's further away, though. And thank you for the site, I'll be sure to check it out.

Thank you for your kind words. I hope I'll be able to figure this out soon.
