The world is tough out there cousin brother.

I send hugs and vibes.

A data analyst with an econ degree specialising in econometrics and a political science degree. That’s awesome.

Are you the cousin that my mother foretold about?

Scrumptious?

Interesting.

Let me rephrase: I always believed it had good writing, but lacked interesting enough scifi concepts for me. In my opinion good writing trumps all, but having a interesting hook always makes writing more accessible.

I had already seen the same save the world and interspecies stuff by the time I was concious enough to play mass effect. (I am not that young, but I think mass effect came out in 2007.)

Ahh fair enough, I don’t know enough of the whole story. I take back what I said.

Curious to know why.

Mass effect for me feels like it’s generic scifi, so I can’t get into it and appreciate the writing but KOTR has a star wars flair at least.

I like it, but if there was some back and forth between them, it would feel more real?

Padme backs off after first unknowingly coming on to him (he’s a handsome badass), but then anakin pushes back citing the Jedi code. And when feels the push towards padme, she backs off because - jedi and younger. Basically the same as what you said, but they both want to do it, and they both know it’s wrong on some level.

The palpable tension going back and forth would make it more interesting.

And making him a little older - 21 or something would also make it less creepy yet maintain his naivity.

But I suppose it would be less spicy, if the relationship isn’t lopsided. I guess then it would depend on the direction one would want to take.

Do you want it to be a tale of a young boy being semi-groomed or an equal relationship.

I mean you could already consider padme being disingenuous by wearing such clothes and being “oblivious” to how anakin feels. Maybe she did know and wanted to push him on but without it feeling like she was responsible for any of it.

They have a management problem. Roberts has had a history with badly managing projects especially where his uberambition is unchecked.

They could’ve entirely and easily avoided the forever beta tag if they had released the single player early on (even if it wasn’t perfect), like they had promised and then continued to work on the persistent universe.

Not everyone can afford to be vegan yknow?

So why don’t you get off your high horse privileged ass and consider that this vegetarian person is obviously trying to mitigate some damage by not eating meat.

Is that “minimum”?

I agree, I use Duolingo because it’s good at making me comeback to learn. But I use it for vocabulary as I feel it is best for that. It was never very good at teaching grammar.

But I don’t know why it is not good at teaching grammar. I don’t think it’s that difficult to replicate textbook exercises in a fun way. All I can think why they don’t have good grammar exercises is that it’s some dark pattern I don’t recognise.

I thought Duolingo was terrible for grammar.

This is very inefficient, they should be using a switch case.

need to find a wife with 2 jobs if I wanted a house

Or you could split the difference and get two wives with one job each.

Or you could get four wives with a part time job each.

Or you get 8 wives with one job each and now you are making profit over the money you need to buy a house.

My point is

Software tools -

• obsidian for keeping track and record keeping and noting ideas.
• Obsidian Canvas, Miro - for mood boarding, currently using canvas but I am looking for an alternative that’s FOSS and very light weight.
• paint to make diagrams and concept ideas.
• Typora - good distraction free free writing tool.
• Keep - quick idea noting, but slowly shifting over to obsidian mobile. Unfortunately it isn’t as intuitive on mobile, need to configure it.

I am only making use of these so far, but I am also currently on the lookout for a map creator tool. The mainstream ones are either to anemic or paid.

Idea Generation Tools -

• Immersion techniques, subscribing to the communities I want to use for inspiration to learn more in depth about them, watching videos, shows, reading articles
• I have an Idea bucket from where I pick and mix in with other ideas to come up with something.
• Deviant art, Reddit, other socials for interesting art to take inspiration from.
• recently I’ve also been creating playlists on all the social media platforms.

How’s the sequel? The OG was a unique in its horror. Though I can’t say much for it’s characters I quite enjoyed the vibes.

A Lil bit of column A and a little bit of column B.

But spreading misinformation on it definitely did hurt it.

Are there any transoutreach orgs you can contact?

A larger trans community might be able to help you with getting the right resources regarding this.
