Wondering if I have aphantasia because I need/make references all the time

@GyroscopicGraphite neither myself nor Impregmaniac have aphantasia, but rather hypophantasia; which means our visualization capacity is reduced but still there. Part of why I'm a bookworm is vivid descriptions can create vivid images in my head, which is the only way that ever happens. For the same reason, I play Dungeons and Dragons.

@GyroscopicGraphite for me, I need an anchor or reference point for the picture to pop up in my head. If I were to imagine a person, I'd need to remember a celebrity's face that's kind of close to what I think they'd look like, and make adjustments from there.

@OccasionalReader funnily enough, it was during my Pathfinder game when I had the 'epiphany' of my hypophantasia, because I constantly show pictures or movie scenes to my players when I can't quite explain whats happening.
I have had a few ideas for stories. Was thinking about one of 'em, switched one detail around and now I have a whole new story idea from it.

True. But it is funny that this time it is not even based on any existing story since I am still just workshopping how the story would go.

Now the question is; do you make two seperate stories, 2 branches of the same story, or do you pick the one you like more and hang no.2 on the gallows?

I don't think this is one for Chyoa anyway. Either one I make, I would prefer to do a regular story without branches. And putting those on this site feels like a waste.
my discord has been hacked-don't accpet any odd links from my account

It is frustrating when something like that happens. Do you get the account back or will you just have to make a new one and start from 0 again?

I managed taking it back. it seems unlikely they got anything valuable since it's a two layer phising scheme but they managed stealing my discord token. I'm using an authtencitaor app now for good measure. backup code changes every 30 seconds so should be helpful

I'm glad things turned out at least mostly okay.
I started working on a chapter and realized… I forgot my own lore. Now I have to read my OWN story to learn the lore! Wtf!
I think a Commission AI of sorts that looked for artists open for commission that would do your prompt would be really cool.

Would still make use of AI's 'scrub the web down to its individual posts' thing but would still support artists while also leading people to places they might end up really enjoying.

Obviously there's probably still some sort of way this could be abused, but it's better than the current system of slop and scraping, and its not like it requires quite the same energy consumption of those big data centers we have at the moment.
The parody song of Video Killed the Radio Song, "Radioactive Shrimp from Walmart" is now living rent-free in my head.
Are any of you highly educated in scientific fields and if so how inaccurate/summarized can I describe a complex concept before you get mad?

I'm a programmer. My frustration with inaccurate portrayal of my job (and adjacent ones in the field) by mass media has loooong since run dry. So go on, reverse the polarity on those bits! Overclock the hard drive! Insert a backdoor in the stack trace!

I'm highly educated in a few, including gender, particularly as it relates to neurology. As long as someone's summary doesn't cross the line from reductionism to falsehood, I don't particularly mind.

Well finally writing a novella version of Blake getting in a sleepover. 10 years later and so many things need modern references and touches
Visited my countries biggest hospital today. Now I know what it feels like to be stuck in the backrooms.
In a story's title, you get exactly 3 key words before it becomes too much. For individual chapters however, go wild. Same applies to anime.

Manga and anime meanwhile take the opposite approach to you. IIRC, the idea is that "kids these days" won't be bothered to read a synopsis of a story, so you put the synopsis into the title and they will read it while scrolling through new titles. ...I hate that trend, but it has been big for a while now.

@raziel83 Believe it or not, that's exactly what I was referencing. Saw an anime titled "I reincarnated as the 7th prince and (something somethimg I forgot) to hone my abilities! :D :D :D :D" and I realized the reason those kinds of titles suck is how many key words they shovel into the sentence, and subsequently concluded 3 key words was the maximum.
