Hey, friends, I need your help for a fellow indie author:

We're looking for someone who can provide a sensitivity read for a Mexican American character. The author wants general support in how the character and his family are portrayed in this contemporary romance. Paid, of course.

Thank you!

And to be clear, Kotor needs a remake so I can finally play it, because I really can't get past this hybrid not-quite-turn-based system. Not for lack of trying.

It's the "About me : Video Games" grid. I'm on the phone and can't report the entire thing in alt text but tbh it's not particularly unique. Sometimes I'm a basic bitch.

Not the most unique perspective in the business, but I gotta be honest.

I'm manually adding HK&Silksong for Best Boss Battles and FF7R for Best At Playing On My Nostalgia

And here I was thinking you were up to some torrid writing :c

When all the very relevant advice of other writers here somehow still fails, I myself found an efficient way to turn off inhibitions is sold in bottles.

Okay but isn't his job literally to just show up and believe in Sailor Moon so fervently she remembers for half a minute she's a literal goddess and obliterates the villains?

"I pray the tomb is shut forever. I pray the rock is never rolled away. I pray that which was buried remains buried, insensate, in perpetual rest with closed eye and stilled brain."

Remembering names of real people. It can easily take me two or three weeks working full-time with them.

I also have a particularly unreliable sense of smell.

great work everyone keep it up

they are pigs and fascists and they should be reminded of it every day forever

I want to say, maybe we don't care about overhearing because we know how to mind our own business, but I know in my heart it's not even a little bit true

Advantage rules and situational modifiers are at best a band aid and I hate this system with a passion.

D&D core D20+mod roll mechanic puts randomness and chaos above character and roleplay.

A single dice roll has a flat statistic curve that makes extremes results just as likely as average, making character skills unreliable.

Your lvl1 halfling has a 25% chance to beat a lvl1 half-orc at strongarm.

Heyyyyy, you summed up 30 years of dysfunctional relationship with my parents in less than 300 characters!

I always pay attention 🙂

Now someone hold my beer, I need to write a prologue

Kate that's more than one thing

Now I really want to know about the incident that led to this rule

Picture of the Apollo 11 moon landing with the quote : "For me, the most ironic token of that moment in history is the plaque signed by President Richard M. Nixon that Apollo 11 took to the Moon. It reads: ‘We came in peace for all mankind.’ As the United States was dropping 7.5 megatons of conventional explosives on small nations in Southeast Asia, we congratulated ourselves on our humanity: We would harm no one on a lifeless rock.” – Carl Sagan

Reminded of this today for no particular reason

France has its perks

Discworld QOTD, from Going Postal

Picture of a rat and a hand with rainbow flags "celebrate pride with rat" Picture of angry rat with a brick and a hand pointing at a police car "remind rat of our roots"

Hé, c'est l'opium du peuple 😏

I fully understand "fixing" it would require a huge amount of additional animations, but :

When a character in a cut-scene is using a different weapon/tool that the one they have equipped.

"All authors use AI now"

Not true! A lot of us rely on our deeply rooted abandonment issues!

And then deleted your reply, so yeah, I thought the same.

Life's too short to be spent on online arguments with people who only seek to get mad, I'll just block him and move on.
