I'm also worried that the quality of my writing decayed as my book went on and that's why the views fell in the last few chapters-- but frankly I think that's because most of the views on the previous chapters are actually people re-reading so I don't have a reason to worry.

A lot of authors considered decent have the issue of not quite knowing how to stick the ending, I suppose...

No other emotion threads fit this.

I'm scared and anxious about writing the ending to my book. Like I have no idea how to not fuck it up. Yes I set myself to not have a hard deadline. Yes I actually kinda sorta planned it this time. But I'm worried.

The 30th chapter of my hard sci-fi space opera is released! The mental state of much of the crew reaches an all-time low. As I stated before, the last few jumps were a meatgrinder, previously physical and now emotional. Now the grand finale is approaching. Will the crew of the Pheidippides manage to reach their destination while remaining sane?

This is the last "normal" chapter! The next chapter will contain the ending, an epilogue, and a post-mortem writeup. There is no deadline for it, expect it in under 2 weeks though.

So yea am about to finish this book.

With the forums down (and me forgetting I think)? I missed a few updates.

Am not used to systems where the parliament actually matters, oops! 💀

I hope Biden is smart enough to not pull out... or someone convinces him not to.

Happy belated birthday!

I'm not genderfluid though.

But I suppose then it'd make sense yes.

I call myself bi but I was thinking about it and I can't recall feeling any particular sexual attraction to a man ever.

I think I am homosexual/biromantic.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Now I can go back to being the forum clown...

I gotta kick that habit tbh. It was very convenient.

But I understand them, it must have taken up a lot of resources to have millions of people use the CDN as a free file hosting service...

My 2 rubles: if we are somehow able to teach a LLM the concept of "this is not a topic I have been trained on very much, so if there are similar probabilities for two very different answers, I should say that I don't know instead of answering and possibly being wrong, or at least add a disclaimer", hallucinations could be severely reduced.

(And hey, Siberia isn't bad at all!)
One of the places in the world that's memetically terrible to the point it's known across the globe and multigenerationally as somewhere-you-don't-want-to-live isn't bad at all, huh. Old dumping ground of the USSR. A place with a population density roughly equivalent to Montana (which sucks significantly due to there not being anyone there).

*holds up sign saying "blink twice if you need help"*

No one not being coerced would say that with any seriousness, heh. It's like saying afghanistan's a nice place for a summer vacation :P
Westerners really exaggerate how shitty it is, really.

I live in a decently-sized city. For privacy reasons not gonna say it but it's larger than most US cities. The population density doesn't matter when there are still urban centers with services and industry.

The taiga, which is what people tend to think of when they think of Siberia, yeah I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

And yes the cost of life is fairly cheap, cheaper than European Russia at least. Honestly I never felt a push to move to the European part of the country: when I move I'm leaving the country altogether. It's, from what I can tell, just not actually that big of a quality-of-life upgrade.

But sure, all memes are true. Bet you think there are bears walking around on the street too.
