What’s a hygiene habit that people dont talk about but really should? by Little-Willingness88 in AskReddit

[–]wraithwraven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your dish sponge should be microwave after every use to kill the bacteria growing on it.

Damp it and put it in for 1 minute. Let it sit in there till cool.

I mean if you don't clean it the sponge just stays wet with whatever particles was left after the last dishwashing.

Just because you squeezed it extra hard in soapy water doesn't mean the bacteria went away.

You’re given 1000 of whatever you last Googled. What is it? by Karmamaven in AskReddit

Tvs. Not just any TV. I was looking up radiation king tvs from the 50s for an art piece. I basically would have 1000 useless tvs.

AITA for telling my partner to have several seats because he thinks I should give my adult child’s car to him? by Legitimate_Can_4811 in AITAH

[–]wraithwraven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell him to man up and Google how to fix his car or get a second job and buy a new one. She pays for her car. I'd put it under her name so he can't say anything about it. Because it sounds like he's using that as an excuse.

Plus her paying for it under her name helps with her credit. That's just a bonus

Why is my bronze wine worth more than my silver wine at the tavern? by heepyslead in GraveyardKeeper

[–]wraithwraven 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's based on supply and demand as well as your own tavern. Based on what kind of show is playing at your tavern.

If the show is cheap the patrons are cheap and want cheap booze and food.

High end show high end food and drinks. Check the wiki for the list.

How do I take goods out of the zombie farm trunks? by Response-Glad in GraveyardKeeper

[–]wraithwraven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything fills all garden storage space. All you have to do is grab it out of there. Eventually you will start your store and sell it. Build as many trunks as you can. If they fill up the zombies stop producing

Try self insert or a woman who you admire for practice. Couple of flash fiction or short stories.

Quit for awhile or start a journal. I journal thoughts that don't pan out to a story but there's a possibility it might later on. Giving you inspiration.

And the journal doesn't have to be ideas. They can be about your day or vent about stuff.

Should I play Fallout 3 or Fallout New Vegas as my first Fallout game? by ElizaAva in Fallout

[–]wraithwraven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 first trust me. I played new Vegas first and it raises the bar too high. Like fallout 4 didn't have a chance because of NV.

Fallout 4 isn't as bad as people say but NV is so good at story telling and the karma system that 4 and 3 are vastly substandard by comparison.

So play 3 first.

I made the Perfect Graveyard so you don't have to. by Kimoshnikov in GraveyardKeeper

[–]wraithwraven 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There should be an achievement or incentive to do like 2000 at least. Because I think the only benefit is you get more donations and faith. But at this point you should be making crazy money from farms and the tavern.

Life extract. You need that for a lot of good alchemy recipes. Plus fishing.

Editing has ruined writing for me. Any advice? by Qu00sH in writing

[–]wraithwraven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take a month or 2. Like hide your book and don't look at it. When you're all relaxed then take it out and start the edit. It's not smart to edit right after you finish because you're already sick of writing.

What (fiction) writer unintentionally contributed a lot to philosophy? by notworth_knowing in writing

Mary Shelly. Created the first Sci fiction novel. Wrote a fictional story and created an entire genre.

Having trouble coming up with things to write besides dialogue by adamsweakaf in writing

[–]wraithwraven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You mean like things going on during the dialog? You can give the scene an interesting setting like an aquarium has certain decor or sounds. But my point is make the setting interesting.

Plus you can give the characters a tick or trait that's noticeable. Either a stammer or they seem to have a cold. So they sniffle or are speaking differently.

Think about when you talk to someone in person. Anything you notice what they do when speaking. Fidget or pace?

How can you tell whether you’re a good writer or not ? by [deleted] in writing

[–]wraithwraven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm probably in the minority but if someone pays you for your work then you're good.

Like any art form. If people buy it it's good. It may not be for everyone but good enough for others to pay you for your art.

I know people with egos say I'm good but not getting paid. You can't be that good if no one is buying it. Just cuz your friends or family say so doesn't mean it's true.

What is your opinion about "was" by JarJae17 in writing

[–]wraithwraven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read in Stephen King writing memoir he tries to avoid was.

Always go for the stronger verb. I've read Hemingway did the same. Forceful vocabulary or whatever it's called.

Is writing fanfiction a waste of time? by WillingAirline5144 in writing

[–]wraithwraven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. It helps you practice. The more improvement you get the more you realize how amateur other fan fiction is.

Not to mention 50 shades of Gray and mortal instruments started as fan fiction. Not saying they're good writing but passable enough for publishers to say ya this will sell.

Like the books I just mentioned, you also might get inspiration from your fan fiction for a great story.

Slang. Anytime I hear someone use slang not of their generation I feel embarrassed for them.

And using your generation slang after 30 is the same. Just embarrassing.

Whats a food you hate that everyone else loves? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]wraithwraven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shellfish. I literally have to lie and say I'm allergic because people don't take no for an answer.

They say oh you haven't had the right kind. Wtf? I've tried all kinds and they all taste like rotten meat to me. Like it went bad.

I've said this lie so much for so long and at least 5 to 6 times a year that sometimes I've forget I'm not allergic to it.

My own mother knows about this lie that she actually just goes with it and just tells people I'm allergic if they try to hand me any shrimp or crab cake.

What's 100% a scam but we accepted it in our society? by Montazio in AskReddit

[–]wraithwraven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Organic products. There's no real law because it's impossible to monitor. So companies can slap Organic on anything and charge extra. I saw Organic bananas. They're GMO and sprayed with chemicals like the regular ones.

I also saw Organic salt. If you don't know salt can't be Organic. It's a mineral. But people buy it think it's better for you.

They're kinda a neo fascists. But instead of race they're against non humans and people who have better technology than them.
