IsaOfTheWorlds 29 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Finally getting back to working on my writing. Ever since I discovered my passion for Golden Age(-styled) detective novels I've been trying to craft my own mystery worthy of the Dorothy L. Sayer and Christianna Brand greats, but sadly there's so much form and artifice to the genre I have yet to fully master beyond just theory. It just goes to show that you can study and analyze a craft however much you like, but there's no teaching pair greater than Mr. Practice and his partner Mrs. Failure. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Democrobot 1,019 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Had an eye exam yesterday. My left eye needs nearly twice as strong of a prescription now. I've been going to Discord servers I'm in and streaming Dragon Quest: Your Story. The Spanish community seems to enjoy it. Link to post Share on other sites

I remember a huge influx during the IX days, myself included. My theory for this is that a lot of quest information and alchemy recipes and the like could be found on the Den. IX has a lot of item grinding and scrounging stuff up and a number of other post-game activities. You’ll spend more time doing all that stuff than the main story. I know that’s how I found the main site, researching where to find things. There isn’t as much call for that in XI, even though there are still things like alchemy. People looking for community are going to places you’d expect: Reddit, Tumblr, popular forums like GameFAQs, etc., not realizing there’s also an active forum for Dragon Quest fans in particular. I do see a lot of new people on the Dragon Quest subreddit, but I really don't think content is really all that good there, to be honest. Most of the time it's people asking what game they should play. Due to how Reddit is structured, threads are there until they aren't popular so everything gets pushed down and then you see the same posts that keep cropping up. This is why I don't like Reddit all that much. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

This is why I don't like Reddit all that much. Reddit works for individual content. It’s not really a “community.” Very rarely do you talk to familiar faces and the content is, like you said, mostly people asking questions, and also sharing content that fans of that subreddit would like. I like it for memes and news on deals and some general opinions. Link to post Share on other sites
DrippySlimeStar 302 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) I'm getting kind of worried about PAX. The two things I want to see are likely gonna rely on me getting lucky and getting a ticket for a certain time. Animal Crossing has online registration that I gotta get right at 5pm on Thursday to get a time for Friday. I can likely get into there without a ticket but that line is gonna be chaos. Final Fantasy is doing a ticket system as well but there's limited spaces. They start handing out tickets at 10:30 and once they're gone, they're gone. I'm hoping I get my AC ticket for Friday so I can go to Square first thing Friday and grab a ticket to play Final Fantasy later in the day.

Liamland 775 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Oof...tickets for FFVIIr? They must be expecting a massive crowd. Any chance you could hit up Michi and try to snag a spot? Link to post Share on other sites

YangustheLegendaryBandit 3,697 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 It’s gonna be an early morning tomorrow. Without going into detail, mom has an operation tomorrow morning at 6:15 AM and it’s been a very long week since finding out last Thursday and waiting for it to come around. Hopefully the end results will give her good news, and if something is discovered we’ll get through it as a family. With like 50+ people for support on mom’s side and the few on my dad’s side, we have plenty of family support. Keep your fingers crossed for good news, guys. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I feel like I'm an ass as much as him (at least in my head) so the show cracks me up more than it should. It’s gonna be an early morning tomorrow.

Plattym3 2,586 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Lemme know what you think.Son of a... so I bought a new/couple model year old cheap Roku TV for out in the garage where I workout. Turns out there are some versions of some file types it won't play, but until I play it what the heck will work. Guess my Picard didn't match the right type last week. Going to try another TV now. Such is life on the dark web. Link to post Share on other sites
Plattym3 2,586 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Lemme know what you think.So... that happened. Geeze, not the way I thought that was going to go for any of the 3 female characters that episode. I'm a bit meh on that one. Link to post Share on other sites
AustNerevar 810 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 So... that happened. Geeze, not the way I thought that was going to go for any of the 3 female characters that episode. I'm a bit meh on that one. I hated every second of it. My rating for Picard so far has been:Ep1 - 8/10Ep2 - 7/10Ep3 - 5/10Ep4 - 5/10Ep5 - 2/10I was so dissatisfied that I started looking elsewhere for Trek and finally got around to starting Season 2 of Discovery. I was quite unforgiving with my my opinion of Season 1 and while Season 2 was still far too action/explosions focused for me I enjoyed it thoroughly. Far better than Picard so far.I just don't understand why they would take Star Trek, the one franchise known for its hopeful optimism and bright picture if the future and turn it into a violent grimdark dystopia. It's antithetical to the franchise's mission statement. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
