    Veilguard wins GOTY

    Wow. Even if you’re solely interested in LGBTQ representation, wow. Taash is absolutely AWFUL representation, specifically. Abrasive, not well integrated into preexisting lore, aggressively modern in presentations for a lot of reasons (their choice of nonbinary as a self description being only...

    Burnout

    Two options. I don’t know which is appropriate. 1. Stop writing for a bit. Chill. Relax. Set a date to start writing again. 2. Write every day for at least a few minutes. If it sucks, don’t worry about it. Just write and come back to edit.

    Ugh, I realized I gave my elf princess blonde hair

    Hmm. Ponytail? No, Samus. Wavy hair? No, Peach. Or Cynthia from Pokemon. Hime cut, maybe? Or sausage curls? Braids are good, either one braid or multiple. Or a crown braid, a la the Khaleesi herself. Just some options. I’m not even a hair guy. I’m just married to a woman with long hair.

    Would you keep reading?

    Niche but not bad if written well, like a lot of things. There are people who would bounce right off and people who would be deeply disappointed if this is a one off thing. As for me? Idk I’d need to read it.

    New MMORPG Novel

    Humans only OR choose a different race and have that be the race the MC is using. Then that + humans so you can organically introduce that race’s specific quirks and traits in ways other than blatant exposition dumps. You can use subtle exposition dumps. As for suggestions? Hell if I know...

    So, what do you do in your free time.

    I hang out with my wife/daughter and play video games when I have alone time. Hanging out with my family does often include at least a little bit of watching shows or movies; anime with my wife, My Little Pony or Disney classics with my daughter. I don’t read much, but I listen to a lot of...

    My Novel is not searchable

    There’s a delay on new novels. Approval process etc. It’ll probably be up in a day or two.

    Nightreign Defenders are Ubisoft Defenders

    Also, as a side note, no it doesn’t cost more than Shadow of the Erdtree. Both cost 40$ when not purchased as part of bundles. If they had made it as a DLC that would have been explicitly worse than as a standalone, because as a DLC you couldn’t purchase it unless you had the base game. Feel...

    Nightreign Defenders are Ubisoft Defenders

    Your opinion as someone who didn’t like the base game and obviously didn’t like the new one is, of course, valid and should inform your purchasing decisions. That said? An asset flip that has a different gameplay loop and style than the original game is very different from a DLC. If it wasn’t...

    Nightreign Defenders are Ubisoft Defenders

    The lack of micro transactions seems kinda weird for a blatant cash grab, given that they are proven to be incredibly profitable.

    Nightreign Defenders are Ubisoft Defenders

    So are you also of the opinion that Larian are just money grubbing corpo opportunists because they made a D&D game based on an old franchise right in the middle of D&D’s highest relevance in decades?

    Nightreign Defenders are Ubisoft Defenders

    Ok, I’ll try for a slightly less inflammatory counterpoint: Why did they make another Armored Core game a little bit ago? Like, what trend were they chasing there? How does that fit into your money grubbing corpo narrative?

    Nightreign Defenders are Ubisoft Defenders

    Ah yes. I forgot that there is literally only ever one good way to make art and it is always the most extreme end of one spectrum or another. Experimenting outside of your own wheelhouse means nothing! If you didn’t make the Ironman suit in a cave over the course of two weeks with a gun to your...

    Nightreign Defenders are Ubisoft Defenders

    Eh, from what I’ve heard it’s more about letting junior designers at FromSoft make their own games to see how they do. Asset flips are low cost and thus low risk. Good training/testing ground to see who can be trusted with something bigger. Now, this could be a smokescreen, and to be frank I...

    Is your protagonist your favorite character?

    Nah. My favorites are usually absolutely deranged supporting characters that I adore but don’t think I could sustain as a main central character. When I imagine an utter narcissist like Lividia or an eccentric genius like Rowe as MC I’m pretty sure it would wear out the joke through overexposure

    Does everyone post their stories in ‘Latest Chapter Discussion’?

    No. Tbh I’m confused as to what the purpose of it is. Isn’t that what a comments section is for?

    Choose your own adventures? Do they do well here?

    I wrote my first big story on CHYOA chapter by chapter with the intent that anyone could write branches if they felt like it. No one ever did, though they did write their own stories based on the basic premise which is kinda similar. I polled people at the end of most chapters about what the MC...

    Curing a harem member's vampirism...?

    Yeah I’m on the “asking this question with this level of context is inherently a red flag” wagon, chief. Not giving the vampire waifu the choice is extremely controlling behavior, and without further context there is basically no reason not to ask. Does she need to kill someone every few days...

    Funny RPG Trait?

    Ngl this would logically result in crazy Caprid key parties where every caprid has a bunch of cages containing light beer in their house for stat grinding. One guy is sober and lets everyone out in the morning. Permanent buffs are THAT GOOD. Idk how many stats your system has so I’ll assume 10...

    Multiclass or nah as a concept in written?

    Indeed, if you squint you can see that the only reason our cubic champion even met his favorite shiny is because it wanted to multiclass into artificer, and its favorite snack was introduced as a direct result of it accidentally multiclassing into Warlock, and even the elf/catgirl yuri is only...
