The only one I'd want to meet is Trump.

You hurt my feelings. Suspend TC immediately.

You can literally replace Trump with Hillary in your post and observe that the left freaked out over it for 4 years.

Sure. It'd be a nice social experiment. I do those from time to time.

I don't care, people can do whatever they want as long as it doesn't mess with other people.

I thought this game was the game that Fable 2 should've been.

Systematically censoring and shaming people who think different than you do will not lead to healing.

does it make the game playable or does it play the game for you?

Both

Did you mean thotties?

No, I'm a real man.

The world is dead. That makes for good rap and electronic music.

I want the Bills to beat Brady. Rodgers and Mahomes can stay home and do more of those crappy insurance commercials.

Innocent first date? How much money do you have?

dead

You didn't play the right games. Congrats.

Great movie. The sequel was a total piece of shit.

Lay off the soy

Because the government is corrupt at all levels, same with mainstream media and the mega corporate tech companies.

The Bills are looking unstoppable. Packers are good, but I think the AFC is just a better conference and the Bills are about to get theirs.

Great topic.

Fair. Next.

If I we could get visual confirmation, I gotta see that shit.

And the paternity test says....

I feel similar, I wouldn't say overrated... but I wouldn't say it's exceptional or anything; My opinion... it's just really good and warm and good, a nice hot cocoa kinda game

I lost interest after the faceoff with the bad dude and all the stuff with the tree and the party gets disbanded

Who watches the Watchmen?

You have performance anxiety. Try to relax brother.

I like Celes and Locke because I relate to Locke in a lot of ways.

The music.

I still am. I just get suspended for voicing any grievances and only speak my mind when absolutely necessary.

Once the mobs and mods recognize you, they make you a target. You need to be soft and subtle. You can't outright tell the truth, or even allude to it. The evils that be will chastise you for any overt attempt at defying them.

$1 million dollars or 6 Senzus PER WEEK?!

I'll sell all those Senzu's a $1 million a piece and be a humanitarian zillionaire

Edit: Aw crap, the fine print. I'd still take the Senzu's so I can just try a bunch of extreme shit.

Overrated. It has its moments. Not a bad game, I just burned out on it personally.

I haven't read a word of this topic outside the title, and I already know TC is fucked.

I'm always a sucker for watermelon

I closed my FB because everyone was so abusive toward me. This board has been similar.

Personally I'm really only considering self publishing, simply for the fact I get more of the profit (albiet with a much higher upfront cost).

The cost was always the hurdle for me. Once you have the book published, it can potentially kick you money for the rest of your life.

You could self publish

I'd like to. I could actually afford it right now. I really wanted a professional proofreader to go through the book so I didn't embarrass myself with poor formatting and/or rampant grammatical errors I was unaware of. Going balls to the wall all willy-nilly can be the kiss of death in the industry.

I'm really thankful you suggested that, I kinda forgot all about why I never had the book published. I have the money now, there's nothing stopping me. Who knows? Maybe the proofreader will have connections and get me a book deal?

History repeats.

I don't assume people are deluded for having an opinion.

I'd be really interested in hearing your method for revision. Do you go through the whole thing and do a once over, and make changes as you go? Or is it more piece by piece / chapter by chapter?

By the 4th draft I realized I made a critical mistake in the planning process. The book was running extremely long. I should've chosen a character and wrote it from the first person perspective. I relied way too much on dialogue to explain the character's motivations and personalities.

The first draft is a vomit draft. Just get it all out, the concepts and major scenes.

Draft 2 is a quick over to just make it readable, I also made notes about missing pieces and sections that needed to be fleshed out.

Before the 3rd draft, I put all the major plot points on notecards. I color-coded them based on priority and subject matter. The idea of the notecards is to make them easy to move around. I had a big blank wall and a bunch of scotch tape and was able to move them around and combine multiple ideas into scenes.

Once it all came together and made sense, I started the 3rd draft which basically Frankensteined all the scenes I'd already written into proper order and found the pieces that needed to be re-written and noted where there were plot holes and new scenes to be written.

4th draft was focused on new scenes and refining existing scenes. You also end up finding that some pre-exiting scenes become unnecessary. This pass is really about the tone of the book and giving it a personality. Making sure it all comes together.

My 5th pass came after letting other people read the 4th. You can address or ignore the suggestions. It may end up forcing more passes, but in my case it got a lot of good feedback so I just cleaned up the leftover grammatical errors and started forwarding it to agents for possible publication.

I consider the book finished at this point, but I did end up getting feedback from agents about the book (which apparently most people don't even get to that point). He was critical of my narrative not matching the content in the story. He had a good point, but I also feel like he missed the point of my book as well. The lesson I learned was that not everyone is going to "get" your story if it's something heavily cerebral. In the future, I'll emphasize my style of writing rather than try to jam pack a super complex story into a tight space.

What's a condom babe?
