[having-a-harp-time]

my blog feels naked without a pinned post, but i don't actually have anything to put here. blinkies and stuff under the cut

[blckgirlacid]

I need my weird alone time or I will explode

[themoonandmyman]

I haven’t said anything interesting in a long while. this will continue

[were--ralph]

this tweet genre is so fucking funny i need more of them

[jvhdb]

every day i tell myself i need to leave the disco elysium subreddit then someone is really funny on there and i’m forced to keep going

[reallyreallyreallytrying]

has anyone seen my sharp rock? i left it in the river for 100 years for safe keeping and now i can't find it. its many uneven edges have sentimental significance

[sexybritishllama]

idk man sometimes i like it when video game writers are allowed to plan a series of events that happen in a specific order and affect each other in turn to become an overarching narrative, and i don’t mind trusting those writers to take me through those events in the order that is emotionally effective. i don’t really care if a game forces me to go through the forest area first before i can attempt the icy area because maybe there’s things that happen in the forest area that inform later scenes in the icy area. maybe we don't need more superficial player choice open world concepts if it comes at the cost of the ability to write a story with actual significant plot events and character development in each section

[mayonaisalspray]

Yep! Thats right! The character whos whole story arc involves feeling stuck in place, unable to change their fate or even act for themselves transitioned off screen before the narrative began. Youre so good at this

[gaycop]

Has anyone spit realer fax

[windup-angel]

they called him a psycho killer for this

[fullmetalwindbreaker]

canadian guy who’s only played bioshock, metro 2033, fallout 4, doom 2016, nier automata, dishonored, machinegames wolfenstein, dark souls, and prey 2017 upon seeing any other video game for the first time:

[egirlbutternubs]

Actually if you look at his username you’ll see he’s played at least one other game

[closet-keys]

it's crazy to me that anyone feels safer with police around. even as a white child in the suburbs, the presence of a cop made me feel like a small creature staying rigidly still hoping the predator wouldn't notice me and pass by

[indigosfindings]

and like the crazy thing is, englisch genuinely ist mein lieblingsfach

[unheardoracle]

Your dialogue is stiff because everyone is being too honest

Great dialogue can come from radical emotional honesty. But in most real conversations, people

dodge questions

answer indirectly

lie (badly)

change the subject

crack jokes to avoid serious answers

lie (convincingly)

say half of what they mean

tell the truth but get so anxious/angry/defensive others now think they're lying

If your dialogue feels unnatural, it might be because everyone is saying exactly what they think, or articulating their thoughts too well. Try letting characters hide things instead.

Subtext is where tension lives.

[dopedyk]

more so,

people don’t always speak in full sentences,

slang can change depending on age range, demographic, etc. &

don’t be scared of vocal pauses (uhm, uh, err)

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Had a dream last night where I was a sapient vein of copper in a copper mine so we're just gonna. Scoot on past whatever the fuck that was.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

So there's a gas leak in my house and I need the pipes replaced with copper.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

New pipes are working out great and I no longer dream of being sapient copper.

"karen" really needed to be put on the top shelf until everyone learned not to be raving misogynists

[soapkid]

actually thinking about it now it still needs to be put on the top shelf until men and teenage boys on the internet can stop talking like eugenisists as soon as a woman is kind of unpleasant

[soapkid]

"theres a trend of (middle-class suburban) white women abusing their authority over underpaid customer service employees due to an insane level of entitlement"

"yes!! those stupid bitches!! she even LOOKS like a karen 😂 those fat ugly undesirable bitches!! i mean karens 😁"
