The General Comments Thread

oops not to post twice in a row but i keep remembering that i need to do updated refs for art fight but i've been so busy w/ comms, study, and now this volunteering commitment that i'm a little worried i'm not gonna get them done in time ;^^

as much as i need the money, i feel closing comms for the time being is a good idea so i can focus on personal stuff and stop stressing ;w;

th filters get cute images that make them easy to tell apart at a glance :0 neat

So many people refer to my characters as 'they/them' in forum games and I'm... slightly confused? This isn't just in games where you're not allowed to look at the character's profile either, it happens in everything.

I'm downloading a game but it's been stuck at 58% for about ten minutes now

Starting this document to develop my sci-fi plot in more detail was def a good idea. It's helped me get interested and re-engaged in the plot and I've got a much better idea of what's going on even though so far I've only covered what I consider to be the first half of the plot. 

The file it's self is now standing at 7 pages and 3,000 words which is staggering to me. It's the most I've ever written for a story and I'm not even writing the actual story out yet, still planning and thought dumping ideas. The ideas aren't even laid out in a proper timeline of events either, just super rough bullet point lists though it's still proving useful to refer back to. 

I have written 6,000 word story but ended up feeling like 90% of it was unnecessary filler to get a higher word count and scrapped the project, I generally average 900-2,000 words when I'm writing out odd scenes. Even my more developed Age of Sail plot file that is formatted as a timeline of events is only a 5 page document with 1,700 words though that's still a WIP. I still need to fill in events for 1804 and 1805 and the back end of 1802 and 1803 could do with being a little more filled out, the timelines for those years only seem go as far as October before jumping to the next year.

Back to the sci-fi plot timeline, it's fun being able to look back on various ideas I tried out and being able to see how each selected idea has developed and evolved as the document's gone on. Forcing myself to think about the WHY's of things has proven very beneficial rather than just trying to come up with some vague idea that sounds cool, I def see the benefit of coming up with a few different alternatives rather than sticking with the first thing that comes to mind. It's brought up some interesting ideas I may not of thought of if I wasn't thinking about the plot more critically. 

Aw yes

I'm very excited but also hopeful for the future like. idk everything seems right and I'm just content with everything 

Finished cyber sleuth and now I'm just *rattles my chains* gamestop where is my hacker's memory i want it right now let me see my gay son

I got 100% on my recent maths exam which I am really proud of especially considering I am not an academic and maths is my weakest subject.

It’s this exam I’ve just sat that worries me because it’s this exam that decides my grade for the course. Especially when there was a question on Imperial to Metric conversion; I tend to work in old money because it’s easier for me to visualise so I haven’t really committed Imperial - Metric measures to memory. Especially as I was told it wouldn’t come up in the exam.

Really in the mood to buy a plush from an indie creator. But typing "plush" or "stuffed animal" into Etsy just yields a bunch of personalized plushies for newborns. I've gone through 5 pages of it. Like, damn, can't my grown adult self go plushie shopping with no baby in mind... I like having plushies tooooo.

Anyway, I recommend splitmind. Trying really hard to find shops similar to it. I always miss out when this shop stocks a plushie I want, tch. Waiting for the perfect fuzzy cat plush. 

idk why I keep trying, but I do. RIP me, at least I never have to put forward any notable amount of effort ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I just saw a new thread in the Character Discussion subforum and it made me realize that that all my characters have happy backstories and that needs to be mitigated right now.
