“Thanks! I’m so glad you enjoyed it” is absolutely my go-to compliment response, works great, keeps the focus on the reader, etc
1. If you ever feel the urge to trash your own work when complemented, repress that urge. In that context your self-deprecation is insulting someone else's taste!
Instead, just say thanks & change the subject. Maybe credit an influence?

I haven’t (and most likely won’t) watch the recently released video but I swear I can hear that “fucking bitch” in my head clear as day. The snarling hate and disgust. Every woman has heard it.

question to the gamers: how do you all feel about “Supporter Packs” that add cosmetics to a game simply meant to further support a developer you enjoy?
Is there a price point for the game where you feel such a pack becomes too much?
Thank you in advance for your answers!

Remember, the only reason they are able to operate at #Target is because Target allows it. Do not shop at Target.
We just chased off ICE from taking 2 young men by our public housing high rise and then immediately ran off another convoy from the target at the Quarry. Activity is very high today, we need people out patrolling and protecting their neighbors defend612.com

This has been a problem with social media since the jump
People basically only want to suggest the games they really love, never the ones that might be the right answer.

thread asking about best campaigns and scenarios for fantasy games "like The One Ring and Pendragon" is absolutely flooded with Delta Green recommendations. thread about best games of the 2020s is full of releases from before 2015.
