Every Hole Is A Chance For Glory!

For every plot hole you strike down, two more will rise to take its place!

5 Stages of Burnout:
1. Honeymoon phase - still full of energy and optimism.
2. Onset of stress phase - Begining to experience stress.
3. Chronic stress phase.
4. Burnout phase.
5. Blaaaaaah

that's a very accurate description of my mental journey since august

It looked like that - the number of 'a' in 'blaaaaaah' was a clear indication!

Prescription - you need a time out and a vacation!

The word refers to a conflict between story and gameplay, or more broadly, story and mechanics, or maybe author agency and consumer agency. That distinction doesn't really exist in other forms of art: as a consumer, you can't influence a painting, or a piece of music.
It depends a little on the context, but the closest similar phenomenon I can think of is the uncanny valley, which crops up on all kinds of places.

uncanny valley is indeed the direction I was thinking as well. Probably will go with that one then, thanks

Also: I'm impressed you can adhere to that rigid a schedule!

I do feel a schedule helps me to actually commit to something.
Downside is that it can feel like work sometimes.

As they say:

"Every Hole is an Opportunity."

You guys call it "First April?"

I knew something felt strange about that but I was too lazy to check.


But yes, it's day, month, year over here, instead of month, day, year

That's cool.

My personal favorite name for this holiday is Liar's Day, coined by Jerry Holkins of Penny Arcade fame way back in... 2005!?

That can't be right. MAN I feel old now. Imagine living in 2005. 2020 is still 15 years away, Covid hasn't been invented yet, we don't all have black rectangles in our pockets...

Quite the dedication.

Haha thanks! I'm super in the zone right now. Just cranked out another 22 pages of a completely new story yesterday. Gotta milk this high as much as possible

Get well soon. Drink plenty of water.

Thank you, thats the idea

You have changed PFPs.

Broomsticks are sexy.

It's when you slightly approve of every little question your buddy asks.

I mean all the more power to them, it's just that I don't think I can write anything sexy about them.

...Suppositories are sexy right?

I did not need to know that. Thanks.

Sounds nasty.

my handwriting is so bad I abandoned it long ago lol

A phobia of bad writing is call being an editor ;)

Don't forget the phobia of open-source scripting plugins for Adobe Illustrator, Scriptographophobia!

An acute observation, however controversial.

I gotten away with a lot of sneaky edits. Some might call it poor form, but I have no regrets.

Look, the button to not notify people you did an edit is *right there*.

It's a lot of effort sometimes to not change the text of one of my more popular chapters to some Vogon poetry or something

I did this once. A character was briefly mentioned in an early chapter. Some time later, I started writing down information for every character in the story, and made a slight error with her name. Then, the character became more important, and I kept using the slightly wrong name. When I noticed my mistake, I just changed the initial mention instead of confusing up-to-date readers.

"God is real... and They want to FUCK."

that's what it usually comes down to.

Shit's terrifying, man

Um. Their god is kind of you. You could just invoke divine intervention, at that point. I honestly don't think anybody would blame you.

Where are my haters? What does a pervert have to do around here

Write a character like Marcie, apparently
