Just saw someone with a Kit Fisto numberplate. Imo that's the closest you can legally get to a Glup Shitto numberplate and I don't know if that's a good thing.

Someone needs to make a game that just fills the dialogue of a town with your tweets

three fluffy orange pomeranians that progressively get bigger and more fluffy

this is the only thing I will accept for the pombon evolutions

AI is always doing stuff everyone says they could do. "I could write a novel" but you didn't. you got a robot to do it for you so you could spend more time cleaning the house or whatever it is humans are good for

Controversial opinion, but art is fun and robots should do the boring stuff

I once again prove myself to be the luckiest mario kart player

From personal experience this is the ideal first game in the series because getting the insane lore dumps in the middle and hearing phrases like "big momma" said with no context is hilarious

Far from a complete list as I don't usually write it all down, but these are things I tend to include when writing because I like reading/watching them. Just preferences and stuff I like.

I like stories set in places that make the protagonist have to take risks socially. Like places they don't fit in easily and need to try to make their way through socially.

I like enemies to lovers or rivals to lovers, fierce loyalty and devotion through hardship. I like angry characters

I like characters that are flawed but lovable and ultimately have a heart of gold (I guess this is just mostprotagonists lol).
I like stories where characters have magical powers or other supernatural abilities that let us see what they would do with power and agency. Think life is strange and such.

I like scenes to have at least two purposes in the story. I like scenes that feel playful. I like scenes where levity is balanced with dead seriousness in a way that doesn't undercut it. I like scenes that have a strong sense of place, and it matters where they are (i am bad at this)

Hmm let's see which ones I can dig up

Annoying characters shouldn't get away with things too long. Even if they're villains they can be too annoying

Interpersonal problems shouldn't be solvable by a 2 minute conversation to clear a misunderstanding - it should be deeper than that

I have a bunch more specific likes and dislikes like specific character types and scenes I find fun and such, but otherwise I have similar goals to yours

For characters, I like it if we root for the main characters. Even if they're assholes, they're our assholes and we understand their perspective

I also have a guideline that every scene should be "fun". Even if it's a sad scene or a scary or traumatic one, it's exciting and propulsive to read.

I thought this was about stereo audio and was thinking yakuza in my left ear and pokemon in my right

Glad to see new Overwatch announcements but I'm still boycotting Microsoft's gaming division with BDS.

I won't be covering any Microsoft stuff, paying for it, or playing either, and I recommend anyone who wants to does the same.

Surely people wouldn't be so inconsiderate

teens only do that when they're distressed. it's not cute

Simply carry around a male goose and then when people inquire you can say "oh my gander?" and then launch into a spiel about your goose

This week I have seen two announcements on Steam from indie teams announcing they're shutting down and removing their games from sale at the end of January.

Industry is doing great, thanks

a completely different person with a cool jacket. for real, you look great.

Sometimes I just can't do it though. Still haven't found anything that always works. Just a variety of tricks that sometimes force my brain into kickstarting over that initial hump of feeling paralyzed and distracted.

Hope someone has some helpful advice for you.

Sometimes I use a strict schedule, ie. at 10:00AM every day I drop everything and write words in my script no matter what else I'm doing.

Sometimes I exercise for a few minutes (10 or less) to get the squirminess out, then sit down and put on a song to get me going.

Sometimes I think about what's stopping me starting emotionally. Am I distracted, upset, fearful, etc. Try to reassure myself that I'm okay. Then I think about what excites me about the task, ie. having a clean room, having fun writing a story, etc. and how that gets me to my long term goals.

Sometimes I start by going to get tea, and then as soon as I sit down in my computer chair I start, so I haven't already been sitting in the chair not working.

Sometimes I leave an easy, thoughtless task for myself the previous time I work on a project, so when I come back I just have to fix it

As someone with significant problems starting tasks, what works changes a lot for me.

Sometimes I allow myself to work on the task, or do nothing, but not do any other task. Unfortunately this requires a lot of willpower anyway.

Sometimes I listen to a specific pump-up song and that gets me going.

When I say yippee this is what I mean

I played Dispatch (and enjoyed it quite a bit) but it made me think about my depression a lot.

Next year I will have had depression for more than half my life. Yippee!

I honestly keep thinking I need to set something like this up in front of my greenscreen so I can rotate things. It wouldn't achieve anything but I find it pleasing

The quote he's pretending to not understand is also remarkably plain and self explanatory english. like if you understand the words in it the sentence will make sense.
