SUMMONED to ANOTHER WORLD, but ALL I'M SUPPOSED to DO is FARM MYTHIC-RARITY RAID DROPS by 80% Relatable
A light novel inspired by classic isekai and video game anime
8pr.itch.io
Why do we fantasize about being transported to other worlds? And why does living in a world full of dragons and danger seem so much more manageable than our own?

if you're defending "boundary pushing" art by saying "this is art, not pornography" you're just throwing another kind of art under the bus for your chosen form of art. porn can be art. tittilating, erotic, arousing art is still art, and sexuality isn't something that magically makes art NOT art.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

This is a fun question. If I had any say over it, it would be a display full of yuri and isekai light novels. Having worked in a major bookstore and knowing how they work, however, I already know the display would just be 26 copies of 'Ready Player One' and nothing else. God, that book annoys me.
I saw an interesting question recently on youtube: what would a display in a bookstore look like if it was specifically designed for fans of your book.
You know what I mean.
"If you liked X, you'll like these."

afaik this isn't documented anywhere, but the Oubliette stage in Enter the Gungeon can only follow two basic layouts. Of course the rooms in each layout are still randomly generated, but they ways in which they are connected and where the shop and chests are located are deterministic.
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago
so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

Today on 8PR: We finally reach our first ""ending"" in Virtue's Last Reward! We also discuss the timelessness of physical currency (and their necessity to prop up the community of old men with metal detectors), and finally come face-to-face with the dreaded immuno goblin.

finally have a readable draft of this short story done, which means that it's time for my favorite step of the process: handing it off to my wife to see if the Vibes are appropriate.

Today on 8PR: we discuss dissociation and the feeling of lack-of-ownership over one's body. I also accidentally reinvent Kant to try to win an argument about the iterated prisoner's dilemma.

It's TDOR again.
I know that, for some of us, it is incredibly difficult to remain here. It involves a lot of invisible work that often goes unacknowledged.
I know most people won't notice the effort you put in just to *be.* But I do. And I thank you for it. The world is better with you in it.

The best advice I got was to write every draft except the final one in Comic Sans. It completely defeats my perfectionist impulses to get everything right the first time and helps get the damn words on the page. It is so much easier to tweak and edit what's already there than do it all from zero.

But if you love yourself, you can love both yourself and the person you love. Your love becomes twofold.
So take care of yourself.
