I don't think that many women really write sci fi.

Aside from the travissty.
Late replay but anyway what did she do that was so bad for her to get the nickname? The name is implying she ruined whatever she wrote for so what things did she fuck up and how?

Kilo 5from Halo.

And while I enjoy the series she did,she pissed off star wars fans a while back with Republic Commando by talking shit about Jedi and comparing them to Nazis, before rage quitting star wars because TCW overwrote some of the stuff she wrote. As in, abandoning the final book and leaving the Republic Commando books without a conclusion  just when things are kicking off.

I never get the 'passing on genes' argument. It works when you struggle to survive on a daily basis, sure. But in a world where there's too many people, there's absolutely no place fpr that argument.

i actually have plans to "netflix and chill" with a girl tomorrow night, but only because she convinced me that the recent seasons of TWD are worth watching

plus i'm cooking dinner so it's kinda romantic in a way

That's because they are worth watching.

There's only 3 missions for the Chief? ....wha?


If you count all of Osiris' Meridian missions as one and all of their Sanghelios missions as one, then it's 3 blue team versus five osiris. Even then, the remaining three missions for Osiris total a similar play time to Blue Team's.

They get equal amounts of time, but osiris missions are split up by three non-combat missions where you get to just wander round, listen to conversations and generally experience the world more.

If I find the time to. I'm trying to figure out a planning style. I have a load of key plot points in my head but I'm not very good at planning it all on paper, but I also don't like to make things up as I go along.

Most of my ideas involve the third person limited but with multiple POV characters.

Also my favourite genre to write is probably post-apocalyptic/dystopia in general. Not much of a fantasy fan or a fan of present-day settings.

Kind of like ASOIAF's writing style?
Yeah, I've been reading the books recently so I'm partly inspired by that style of writing.

I'm much the same. I like seeing things from multiple points pf view in that series.

Well I would definitely like to but since I'd kinda rather do a graphic novel I'm procrastinating until I can actually sketch characters better.

I've looked at doing something like that.

It's just the prospect of having to re-learn how to draw on a graphics tablet.
I'm all up for that whenever I can manage to get myself one again. I just dread having to learn anatomy, or rather the fact that I'm going to be bothered by all the mistakes I make.

That's the other thing. I can draw mechanical objects (Power armour, tanks, aircraft, buildings etc) and landscapes pretty well, but I suck at people and animals.

Sex should not be considered a universal life goal.

^^
Not everyone is asexual and gets repulsed by the thought of sex like you Baconshelf. For some people, the lack of physical and emotional connection takes a toll on them.

Still doesn't mean it should be a life goal. There's still many more worthwhile things to waste time on.

by the way baconshelf, i hope you were able to find some good feedback for what you wrote

i haven't had any time at all to look over your stuff, so sorry about that

Yeah, it's fine. I often spam message sandtrap or psy for feedback, too.

I tend to do more world building stuff than actual writing. Partially because I want to have a fully established backstory to reference when I get around to writing something so I don't contradict myself,and partially because I suck at writing dialogue. Mainly because I'm not much of a talker irl.

TL;DR I'm going back to BF4 until they update warzone to be more balanced.
So play Arena?

But I don't want to play arena. I'm a big team guy, I like games with more than a handful of players.

Plus, 8/10 games in team arena are ctf on Truth, and I despise that map.
I hardly ever get CTF. But I don't really play Team Arena. I do SWAT mostly.

The only arena playlist I like is FFA. And that's only because it's just hectic. I guess I like going into a playlist with the knowledge I'm not going against a tryhard mlg-wannabe team.

Honestly, though, the more I play of warzone the more I find it frustrating. It was amazing on the first couple days but now, I'm honestly just finding it frustrating to play even when I'm doing good.

There's only three maps, and only one (Apex 7) is any decent. The rest just become so chaotically filled with grenade spam it's no fun to play for the central objective. Plus, because of the constant rate of deaths, it's damnnear impossible to take a side base (Apex 7 discluded here) because as soon as one enemy enters the base, it stops the capture even if your entire team is there, so it gives time for everyone else to spawn and utterly rape you. Elsewise, trying to run around the map, particularly on Stormbreak, is pretty much begging to be cross-mapped by br spam and it's impossible to fight back because you can't actually aim at the enemy. And when one team pulls ahead even slightly, you may as well give up trying because they will get tanks and snipers when half your team is struggling to get a fucking plasma caster. Then it just devolves into a spawnkilling mess at a base where no one can push forward either way and that's not fun for anyone involved.

Don't get me wrong, those games where everyone seems to play for more objectives than the grenade clusterfuck and the game is pretty much neck-andneck are amazing and a blast to play. But they rarely happen outside of Apex 7.

So I've sort of lost my enthusiasm for warzone. I'm looking forward to when they modify it based on feedback and/ or add the PvE variant they talked about, but right now it's just a frustrating mess that isn't fun regardless of how good you're doing.

I only want Halo to continue because story

If it switched to novels-only and cancelled the games, that'd be fine by me

Tfw only played first two missions so far

The campaign, from a raw gameplay perspective, is easily one of the best ones in the series. There's no particularly standout moments, but it's pretty consistent.

Whereas something like CE or 3 has a couple of memorable moments but everything else is boring as fuck.

Still playing my hardcore fisti-cuffs only run on New Vegas. I downloaded all the DLC a little while back since it was on sale. I did honest hearts.

Devoured all the puny insects.

Got myself a really fun power fist.

Then came out and took a trip to black mountain.

Found Raul.

Sill probably my most favorite companion just because of all the neutral sarcasm about everything.

That's a funny way of spelling veronica

There's a difference

Locke is a somewhat likeable character. John is marcus fenix.
