Same honestly, I avoid 'twitter' like the plague, and I have a facebook but I barely use it at all.
Reddit I only lurk on game centric communities and those tend to be hit or miss. I axe the ones that are 'misses' and lurk in the ones that are decent.
I was watching one of my favorite youtubers livestream the other week.
They were talking about putting a (Very tiny) bit of mustard powder in a (medium to big) batch of mac and cheese.
It sounds like a sin, but like, I also want to try it...lol
One of the funnier things I've seen is those...
Thread to talk about things in movies/books/games that confuse you but have to happen because plot.
Role Playing Games: Protagonist gets to 'loot' random stranger's house/stuff (sometimes with them watching it happen) without being chastised or arrested. (Only game I've seen this not happen in...
For clarification, are we talking 'western' fae (smool humans with wings) or do we just mean the species class? (which tend to be more varied in size and personality)
If you mean the 'type' of mythological creature I'm quite fond of them. Fairies of all shapes and sizes are featured in the...
as skip said, in Reddit's case it's not the entire platform.
Some communities are good, some are bad, some are automodded to hell and not worth your time.
But there are some gems here or there.
It's a bit like finding a good Rom Com anime (Don't ask me why that's relevant XD) you have to sift...
I used to frequent the gamefaqs forums for a while because they were the only 'active' gaming centric forums.
Took me many years to learn what a cess pool of a place it was.
To be clear, the actual website side (In terms of guides and such) is still the GOAT, but stay away from the forums side...
I've ventured to many corners of redit and learned to avoid the more toxic ones, after enough sand sifting you can tell which ones are worth hanging around in.
This is my line of thinking tbh.
There's a character archetype (I forget which, but it's one of the 'sue' ones) that people frown upon when used. It's the one where they are an 'idealized' version of the author and everything goes perfect for them. I did this exactly one time as a teen and felt...
What part of redit are you guys visiting? lol
Most places I visit (They tend to be video game communities, mind) tend to be either extremely welcoming, anal about downvoting stuff for no reason, or extremely against anyone having an opinion that goes against the 'this game is godlike' mindset...
I would say you'd have to have some basic knowledge of games (Or at least the things that are generally parodied in them) but not all of them are video games. In a section I wrote recently I was just going with the flow (one male character is kind of a silver tongue) and he was convincing a...
If I could remember the name of the book I could tell you, but it definately felt like an earlier book than a newer one.
The moral was good, just, the lesson was a bit brutal lol
Ye I only heard the chicken little version (And yes that was before the movie came out. which was honestly goated TBH) Some other stories like that that were 'sanitized' are like Heinsel and Grettle (And similar fairy tales)
The children's story I'm talking about in my previous post is a...
One of em is a series (though I don't think it will last 12+ books like harry potter lol) and one of them is a 'one shot' (with maybe a sequel/epilogue story bout the main character's daughter) They're both somewhat romance stories but they're both comedies at their core, one of which is a very...
I'm not particularly annoyed by it, but I wish they wouldn't do it until the dang thing was at least published.
My family frequently jokes about 'their cut' and frankly that doesn't sit right with me. I'm already generous enough with them as is.
Unless my book blows up like Harry Potter or...
