No love for Black Forest Cake ?

I could honestly talk for hours about Black Forest Cake. Same bakery had a fuckin' A, divine take on it.

To be fair, those old dudes have a lot of free time, bowling is likely their routine. I used to think I was pretty good at bowling. It's an experience I'd not associate with riding a bike. You go bowling only to discover you aren't very good at it anymore, play a few frames until you figure out how to be good again, and come home disappointed and swear off it long enough to forget again.

Unless you join a team or something, I guess.

Chocolate is my jam. Cheesecake is cool, I guess, but I'm not gonna lie and say it's my favorite. This cake had dark chocolate pieces and some kind of fluffy chocolate cream rather than frosting.

Well worth the price.

That was a pretty reprehensible opinion.

There's this decadent bakery slash deli on the way to the doctor's office. The chocolate cake there is delightful. I know a lot of people don't like cake, but maybe you just haven't had the right one yet, you philistines.

DoomDrone: Groundhog Day meets Saving Private Ryan.
DoomDrone: Did I already mention Shadowrun meets iDOLM@STER? I think I did.
DoomDrone: Yes, I did.
DoomDrone: I could print money.
DoomDrone: But that sounds ambitious and I'm in antithesis of ambition mode, so maybe some other day.
DoomDrone: But re-approach that other idea. You're producing for a team of teenage girls, usually orphans, perhaps underprivileged youths, or neglected by their disgustingly wealthy parents with unmonitored access to expensive firearms, gadgets and explosives.
DoomDrone: You fix their jobs, arrange for the camera crew (think journalists who cover wars!), the insurance policy (an orc with cyber-spurs)... you have an instant hit. It's supposed to be a milk run, but four little girls make getting one under from Big Corporate look /good/.
DoomDrone: Women want you. Men want to be you! Well, no, neither of those things, but you get to groom and nurture a bunch of hormonal teens into killing machines in a grossly negligent manner.
DoomDrone: And... the other idea... I don't know. Tom Hanks leads his men through the D-Day invasion over, and over, and over again, into a psychosomatic, nihilistic romp of senseless slaughter.
DoomDrone: Totally metal, but probably not good cinema.

Might be MIA lately.

In topic related news, I've been struggling with the guitar recently but I think I'm getting close to that "it clicked" moment. People constantly ramble on about how they sat down with this finger torture device for literal hours until that moment struck them like a proverbial freight train, but I just wasn't seeing it. I think it's also true for other creative endeavors, where sufficient amounts of raw willpower are essentially indistinguishable from creative inspiration (or integrity). You can suck, but if you keep sucking, there's some scant hope of identifying why you suck and then adjusting for performance.

While I still think that "it clicked" moment is fictitious, it's deviously possible to brute force your way to success too.

Stop the bullying, poi.
Spoiler: No (click to show/hide)

Now we see the violence inherent in the system, poi.

No bullying. This is a no bully zone.

Cheese is almost as important as poi. Poi.

Also it still seems like I can't see Shimakaze without wanting to go at her like fist of the north star.

Holy shit, everyone is coming back to the forums.
So, having inflicted a few grievous wounds on the body of literature myself, what was wrong with this one?

/This/ one had problems with denseness and transitional language, but it was mostly narrative so it could get away with more by being artsy? I think it's a bit flawed to deem one kind of writing pitfall unimportant so long as you "make it your own". Film critics are super harsh for anything but the popular kids over at Marvel for a reason. And to Whispers, I don't actually get rid of anything I put together, but I can't really salvage this thing.

Oh, and HI GUNNER-CHAN, IT IS YOUR OLD PAL CANNON-KUN.

Allo, Dwarf Fortress is still a thing, you shouldn't destroy your own manuscripts imo, and Hitler's up

You only say that, because you haven't had to bear witness to this tragedy upon literature firsthand.

What's uh... what's up, guys.

New draft of my latest manuscript in the metaphorical shredder, but paradoxically that's good news.

I feel fucking out of place here. Do they still make Dwarf Fortress? Is that still a thing? I should give up being a writer and take that up again.
