Aw, thanks dude! It'll be a while for me. I'm still only about 80% through my first draft, and I know I'm in for some extensive rewrites and edits in the coming months/years. But I'll share it when I'm finished!

YA Fantasy. I've been very influenced and inspired by Brandon Sanderson--both his writing, worldbuilding, and characters as well as his lecture series on writing Sci-Fi & Fantasy.

Could be!

Personally, I don't subscribe to the image of the tortured artist waiting and waiting for some elusive muse to bequeath the "spark." Writing is a skill, which like any skill needs time, repetition, and study to develop, just like any other skill.

As a beginner, this is really encouraging for me, because that means the more I do it, the better I'll become. I'm about 82k words into my first novel, and even though I know it's probably trash, I still feel like I've grown (if just a little bit).

Having a true spark is rare for me. But I know that if I just write something, I can come back later and either rewrite it or edit it into something better. I'm more confident in my editing abilities than my ability to nail something the first time.

So I'm OK with writing something when I don't feel super inspired or whatever. I just need to get it down, first.

Is this not the same trailer that was released weeks ago...?

I love "Matchstick Men." Great plot. Fun characters. Chef's kiss Cage freak-out towards the end.

When does the next shipment go out? I missed my chance on launch day...

It looks great, and I'm sure the team worked hard on it (from what I've seen, at least)... But I just can't in good conscience support this after what they did to Kojima. The game looks like this in my memories from when I originally played through it years ago, anyway.

Oh, true! I forgot about that. I remember that being an issue with Link's Adventure but not as much for EoW, though.

As much as I loved these games, they are not the ones I would've thought of first for checking them on the Switch 2...

The enshittification continues...

Is there a way to play without having to deal with ads (or their over-priced subscription)?

 

I'm really enjoying Lemmy and Memmy so far, but even after downloading yesterday's update, I'm constantly having to re-enter my password.

If I force close the app and re-open it, I need to enter my password. If I just minimize the app for a minute or more, I have to enter my password when I come back. If I don't enter my password, it doesn't show any of my subscriptions.

Is there a fix I'm overlooking? Again, I downloaded yesterday's update and double-checked to make sure there's not another update available (as of right now, there's not). I'm using Lemmy.world if that makes a difference.

Thanks for any help!
