  • So far I’ve discovered in this thread:

    -People don’t like traditional fantasy that takes itself seriously.
    -People don’t like lighthearted fantasy that plays with the themes.
    -People don’t like hard magical systems.
    -People don’t like soft magical systems.
    -People don’t like dragons being involved.
    -People don’t like an absence of dragons.
    -People don’t like character archetypes.
    -People don’t like counterarchetypes.
    -People don’t like when characters speak an understandable language.
    -People don’t like characters meeting each other in common social meeting areas.

    All good here? Great.

    Just write whatever the fuck you want. There’s always an audience.











  • You’re still touching the lunchmeat. It’s touching you inside. All over. It’s rubbing against your tongue, teeth… the roof of your mouth. It massages its way to the back of your throat rubbing itself against every inch of your esophagus, until it finally reaches the inside of your stomach.

    But it’s not done there. Your lunchmeat - the same thing you revile touching with your fingers - begins to lay against the walls of your stomach lining as it is slowly digested. Some of it may even make its way into your small intestine completely intact. It touches you all the way through.

    Is that really what you want for yourself?




  • You’re also not taking into account subscription price hikes, policies dictating what you can and can’t do with the software, media availability without internet, surveillance and data selling.

    Netflix has doubled their fees in the last ten years while hemorrhaging beloved content to other streaming services.

    Netflix and others dictate that you’re not allowed to siphon the shows and movies to watch later, at a time and place that may be inconvenient for the service (such as removing it).

    Go anywhere without internet and suddenly all of your paid options don’t exist. That may be resolved one day by unlimited internet everywhere, but that leads into…

    These streaming services will know where you are and what you’re doing all the time. Surveillance in general has only gotten worse, and watchdogs may be vigilant but it’s not blunting how much privacy is being stripped away from you on a regular basis.

    The price you’re paying isn’t just dollars and it’s not locked in forever.


  • I never mentioned age. I mentioned games that are played for thousands of hours. Meaning that the value of those games far exceeds the value of the subscription. Furthermore, then the subscription ends (including when pulling games that are too old) and you are left without the game you have been sinking an incredible amount of time into just because some suits determined that not enough people play X game to warrant providing server space.
