The Isochronism

Surprisingly not, but maybe I just wasn't using a big enough magnifying glass. If you had 3 days to live, on a scale of 1 to 10 how much time would you spend eating soup. (10 being constant, non-stop soup eating, 1 being no soup at all.)

Wøøøøøøøw... I can't believe you'd do that to us.

Wøøøøøøw! So yeah. Across the Spider verse is one of the greatest movies ever created, and here y'all can rant about how awesome it was. And if there's anyone who didn't like it, I'd love to hear why, because this movie really worked for me, and I want to rant a bit but I'll do that later. First I want to hear all of your thought!

Wøw, I can't believe I waited like to weeks to answer the last question. I should do better at keeping this thread active, as I know how much joy and jubilee I bring all of you when I post... I'm sure. Anyway, I'm posting now, which means once again the moment has arrived. It is, officially, the moment you've all been waiting for... Let's start from the beginning. Too know what to call a no-legged Thaylen we first have to understand what the name "Thaylen" means. To figure this out, I had to travel deep into the lands commoners refer to as the internet, where I found: This discovery was both interesting and helpful, and so I continued my search to learn more! But what about the history of the name "Thaylen?"An in depth search of the Arcanum taught me something that helped me greatly on my search! So after gather all that data, I have a clear and concise answer for you! You should call a no-legged Theylan a: Really cool Young looking Slightly silly Night Radiant (3) (my bad.) And then your free wisdom: If you want a great way to earn money just get a cardboard sign and write "Free Wisdom, $1." Then when anybody offers you money, your wisdom is as follows: "Don't pay for free stuff." Have a great day. Also all of you should ask more questions, even if I take a sec to answer them, because how else will I waste my time? Also you're free to ask more questions after you've already asked one, especially if you want more wisdom. They don't call me "The Hornswoggling Wisdom Shouter" for nothing. Citations: Now have a great day.

That is correct, Alpha. If there's one thing I've learned from Sun Tzu it's that you should never allow your enemy to predict your next move. I don't know what I'd even do with myself if I was predictable, so I decided to hornswoggle you a little.

Yeah, I've always liked AI art, I just think it's funny.

That's offensive on so many different levels... hahaha

Haha I just thought it was a funny coincidence cause that's the name of my high school conductor too.

Well we're much nicer here, you are allowed all the sandwiches you want on this thread. 1685

I'm showing up here pretty late, but these are all pretty interesting. I think you did a great job with these. (I do wonder [for absolutely no suspicious reasons]: Mr. Howden is an... interesting choice of name. Any reason that was the name you used? )

Speechless from Aladdin just finished, and now I'm listening to Piano Man, which is an absolute classic. You only have to save the world from zombies, and you have the following tools before you: A life jacket, A Spatula, A Rubber Duck, A portable speaker, and a fried egg. Which tool do you choose, and why?

I'll do my best. I tend to have that effect on threads... 1681

Fortunately

You got it! Congratulations!

That's really interesting, I didn't know that.

I need a good pfp, as I don't currently love mine. I want something that's not generic, yet easily recognizable, and that means something specific to me. My current pfp fulfils two of those criteria, but I'll probably change it soon if I can find something better. on top of that, I don't really even like my username. I wish it was something more unique, and felt less like a blank slate. But there's no changing that now.

I think I'll have to do the same, @Ashbringer for the same reason. I thought I'd have wifi for the next week, but it turns out this is incorrect, and I'm gone monday-thursday next week. My bad. Turns out I'm a coward after all...

I'm down to play, Sign me up! Edit: Ha! Playing a simpler game seems like what a coward would do! And I, am NOT A COWARD.

I'm so sorry. I don't know how much this helps you, but I know exactly how you're feeling. (Not with COVID, somehow I've never had that.) I've felt that frustration at my lack of skill so. many. times. In my head I have something perfect, but the second I try to bring it to reality it becomes something tarnished, and tainted by my own lack of skill. It's times like these that I ask myself "why can't it just be easy? Just once I want it to be easy." And then every time, without fail, a quiet voice enters into my head, asking me "Would it have any value at all if it was easy?" Call it the voice of God, or my own subconscious, or even my high school debate teacher, it's always there. So Now I'm going to ask you the same question. Would your project, whatever it is, have any value to you if it was easy? I still remember my first novella that I wrote probably 2 years ago. It was terrible, and every word added to the pressure in my head. It was so different on paper then it had been in my head, so imperfect, so terrifyingly real. I had one month to write it, and with 10 days left, after going through 5 or 6 drafts, I considered giving up. But you can't fix a book that doesn't exist. And so I brought that imperfect book into reality, and at this point I've finished 5 full length novels and 3 novellas. I've held a printed copy of my most recent story in my hand, and just stared at it and cried. Holding that book was like nothing else, even though I knew I still wasn't published, and the art was just done by my dad. (who to be fair is a famous professional artist, who travels all over to teach stuff and everything, but still.) More then that I knew my book wasn't perfect. But it didn't have to be perfect because it was so amazingly REAL. So my advice to you, don't write something perfect. Write something real. Let it be terrible, let it be imperfect, but please don't let it live only inside your imagination. My high school debate teacher wrote an entire speech about "theoretical stuff" which I wish I could share with all of you guys, because it's been the single most influential set of words I've ever heard or read, and I'm a Brandon Sanderson nerd so that's saying a lot. In the speech he told a story of a the man who'd started amazon with his two friends. He owned 10% of the company, (if I remember right) but early on when the company hit a rough spot, he sold his share to his friends. That 10% of the company would now be valued at somewhere well over a billion dollars. And so that poor man is forced to live with a billion "theoretical" dollars, that he gets to own forever, always wondering how his life could be different if that money was real. But it never will be. Theoretical stuff seems perfect at first. It is perfect, in every way, except for one large downside. It's not real. If you want to live in a world where nobody ever hurts you, never allow yourself to become close to anyone. If you want to live in a world where you never fail, never take risks, and never learn what it's like to succeed. If you want your story to be perfect, never write it. But if that hypothetical world isn't the one you want to live in, then I invite you to keep writing anyway. Your project may have been ambitious, but that doesn't mean you can't make it real. Instead of living in the perfect hypothetical, live in reality. I hope this helps in some way, I know that rant was kind of long. Please, if you're ever doubting your skill, feel free to DM me and send me samples of your writing, or shoot me your writing questions, and I would love to be a cheerleader. I've never been a great writer, and I still have tons to learn, but I'm more than happy to help out a fellow struggling writer, if only by finding what's good about your writing and telling you how great it is to keep you motivated. The truth is, no matter how good or famous you get, we all have days when we're struggling, and we all have a long way to go.

I have an idea or two that you can have for free because I'm so generous. This magic system gets way cooler to me if you turn the coins into an economy, with the same ramifications of an economy. Such as Hear me out... Inflation! Maybe the spells get weaker the more people that have that specific coin? That way you can't just make more, and then the rarer coins are automatically more powerful and more valuable. Also you could center the actual spells that the coins cast around basic trades. You're sacrificing your wood to get coins (either from other people, or to actually create the coins yourself) then you're sacrificing your coin to get your wood back, conveniently when you need to block someone's path! (I know this is a clumsy example, but you get the idea. It could be a store/tap thing like metalminds, or it could just follow the basic principles of trading. But I'd just keep in mind that the purpose of money is to make trading easier. Instead of trading Specific Thing = Specific Thing you're trading Specific thing = $$$ $$$ = ANYTHING (So maybe anything can get you spell coins if you have enough of it? Maybe you're trading with a god in another dimension, so you can be like "Yo, I'll serve you for 10 years if you give me some rare coins" and the God's like "Sure man" and so you go kill a bunch of people for the god then coins appear? Holy cow, there's so many directions you could go with this that (I find) very cool, so I beg you not to go the obvious directions that people have gone before. Best of luck to you, I hope you can have fun with this.
