    Your Most Hated Tropes

    Miscommunications just to move the story drive me nuts. Especially when the characters are literally around each other often and just casually forget to mention something that would clear up most of their problems.

    Short story structure?

    This is what I did. I feel it working pretty good. I planned a short story and it ended up a 17k word novelette. Then the one I planned as a novelette turned into a 35k word novella. Both I liked and I feel I improved a lot with both as well.

    How to write villains

    He didn’t start out a henchman though. He was a Maia named Mairon who was a brilliant craftsman and one of the mightiest Maia. He wanted to do good originally, he believed in strict order. That’s what Melkor (Morgoth) used to turn him to his side. Power. Sauron thought with enough power he could...

    What Are You Playing Now?

    I’m at the final boss of the DLC. 60 hours of gameplay. It’s basically a full length game. It’s a beautiful game too, some amazing visuals and soundtracks. I’ll say though, the bosses are hard enough to send you to the hospital for a psych evaluation though. The lore is fantastic, they somehow...

    It keeps getting bigger the more I play. It's so far bigger than any of the other Fromsoft DLCs. I'm 18 hours in and it looks like I'm about a 3rd of the way in maybe based on the map of what I have explored. I'm currently stuck at 2 bosses and exploring one new area in the mean time.

    I started the Elden Ring DLC recently. I love it so far and it looks huge for a DLC already.

    Writing those battles

    There are a number of famous ones. Most became famous due to tragic circumstances or ended in tragedy. Chris Kyle ended in tragedy, Marcus Luttrell survived a tragic circumstance, Dakota Meyer also surviving a tragic circumstance.

    Writing those battles

    Yeah, breaking necks are incredibly difficult to do. And with humans, even if you break it often it’s just really painful, they need to severe the spinal cord to just cause paralysis, let alone death from the brain stem being severed. More people die in real life from that by being punched...

    The Lord of the Rings

    Hey, the Frighteners was awesome

    Ask me about swords.

    In my opinion you both make good points. As for wielding, both are highly effective, and I think it depends on the user. I've competed against both and against someone better than yourself, you are equally dead. Axes are easier to defend against in my experience. But even in armor they hurt...

    Warfare in Rings of Power Season 1

    Here is a video that gives some information on what a slightly larger scale battle would likely be like. Now it doesn't have the tactics from the period, but it is a battle with 300 full armored men at arms. Obviously it goes without the death and many of the other gruesome things with war...

    Unredeemable Tropes

    I mean, it was a soul for a soul and he was present to see and feel the loss. I suppose the stone isn't too strict as long as it hits the main requirements.

    Unredeemable Tropes

    Disagree with this. Hawkeyes family was already dusted. Black Widow was the thing he loved most that was left. And Gamora counted as well, as the requirement was a soul for a soul and one you had to love. Thanos loved Gamora. It didn't have to be something he loved the most.

    Yeah. The DLC stuff is end game level hard.

    Protagonist strenght poll

    All depends on the story you are telling. Typically I prefer using E. But none of those are wrong.
