After years of being told I'm in the wrong line of work I've decided to take a shot at what I was born to do: writing.

I'm going to write and publish a LN before the end of this year. I just wanted to tell someone so I stick to this goal. I don't imagine it'll be that great but I've taken a look at other books and LNs people are publishing and they aren't that great either.

Will my friends here read the first draft when I'm done?

I am aware. I read the rules on how they want fanworks to be and don't have much intention on selling it. If it turns out to be something substantial in the end and is something people would buy I'll go through proper channels like the anon who made Udongein X and Artificial Dream in Arcadia.

Thread getting bumped is kind of depressing. Since other stuff took so much of my time this year that I haven't gotten anything down yet. I have managed to flesh out the story some more. I have a BIG BAD, I have an MC, I have most of the world fleshed out. I just haven't figured out how I'm going to get from the initial introduction of the first MC to the second real MC.

I'm going to set-up a dedicated emacs machine for writing so I'm not so sidetracked with software projects and try to focus more on this after the holidays. Since every time I got started on this over the last months I'd get side tracked working on my various software projects or video projects. Video stuff ate up A LOT of my time over the summer. Far more than I expected since I ended up working on three shows I never planned to. It got so busy I didn't even finish the one video project I planned on doing this year on time.

Didn't have any basil for my pizza so I put thyme on it instead.
It's not a bad substitute. It's pretty good in its own right.

how long does it take to cook chicken in the oven..

Anonyaanamous 12/11/24 (Wed) 03:25:20 No.135826

>>135822
I run it about 1.5 hours in the oven at 400°F, but it can depend on your oven and personal taste. As long as internal meat temperature is 165°F which you can check periodically. That's if you're doing the chicken whole, you could spatchcock it (you cut out the spine and flatten it) and it won't take as long. When in doubt look at some recipes online.

Anonyaanamous 12/11/24 (Wed) 04:04:04 No.135827

>>135826
I wouldn't recommend cooking chicken to 165. It's really just an artifact of how the USDA reports the studies they do. 99.999% of bacteria are killed instantly at 165, but if you keep chicken at 145 for five minutes or so you get the same effect. Meat doesn't cool off instantly when you take it out of the oven, especially if you're doing a whole chicken. Since it's the holidays, you can cook turkey the same way. The secret to a turkey that isn't tough and dry is to not overcook it.

There's a Bandai-Namco sale on Steam right now and some of the discounts are pretty good. Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet is $6 and I had a lot of fun with it. It's the closest thing to Freedom Wars outside of the Vita, or was since that's coming to Steam. It's kind of like Diablo with the items with random enhancements and stuff. Eventually you make super weapons by moving them around across weapons. It's an action game where you have an AI squad with you, and you use guns (and swords but they suck). The girls are nice, too. It's also notable because you're not forced to be Kirito and instead you make a customized character (and AI companion).
The SA:O games are generally pretty good. There's usually something unique about them even if the setting is quite generic these days.

It's a shame that VP is far from what VH was going to be. I like it and all, but it's just rape. No real allowable customization in the way you play. Maybe with the money made in sales of VP someone will be interested in taking up the mantle of finishing VH, who's actually competent enough to do it.

what OP/EDs do you like? I was thinking about the popularity of LycoReco when it came out and how nice it'd be to see more anime inspired by gunslinger girl since that was one hell of a boson anime. the OP for it being one of my favorites and having that early 2000s english indie song for its op. also do you remember that in the same season lycoreco aired there was another original anime "engage kiss" that failed miserably and was just a soulless gacha cashgrab checking boxes to try and hook a playerbase, lycoreco had no tie-in and was the biggest anime besides bocchi so goes to show how far creating something good takes you compared to trying to cash out on the trendy market researched ideal money printer

We don't really have haggle culture in my country. People who attempt haggle are just seen as a nuisance and may even be ignored in online second hand trades.
Haggle culture is inefficient for everybody involved. It is better if people try to offer reasonable prices and leave it at that so the buyer and seller does not have to constantly waste time in their life trying to get a better deal. I can't imagine having to haggle all day every day like they do in some of the poorest countries because it's just expected.
I walk into a store and if I don't like the price I leave and find another store. This makes haggling unecessary.

It's fine for large purchases like cars and houses though, it makes more sense to argue for a while when we're talking thousands or hundreds of thousands, but not for cheap items.

I love haggle culture online. Whenever I use ebay I try to find listing that have the "make an offer" to see if I can drop the price. Usually 60-80% of the original list price is achievable. In public is a different matter though. I couldn't imagine haggling at an electronics store or a furniture store or something.

I'm way too scared of offending other people to try to haggle. I'd much rather not buy it at all.

Are there any games that can properly depict war in its extremely stressful and horrific light? Or will we only really be able to to get that sort of experience made eventually through VR? I feel like, thinking about the potential of AI, this could be one of the few genres that AI would be almost necessary to properly make a less gamey more overbearing experience.

Thinking a bit more there are stories that elicit feelings of dread and feet. Cousins that make you feel sick for reading them. With that in mind it's possible to make the reader question their mental wellness. But it's far from causing the same outcomes
