Actually, this is me sharpening my genre whetstone. I’m writing a book set in a magic school, main character is taking a pegasus-riding class, and its becoming clear that in the climax of the book I’m going to have to describe some very complex aerial horsemanship when I barely understand how a horse thinks.
This is a man who knows how to gling. He is glinging. Yesterday, he _____.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How is federated social media better?English
3·6 months agoIts more obvious on Mastodon since Mastodon federates with everybody. Imagine, while being on Twitter and without leaving the Twitter app, being able to post and comment on Reddit, watch YouTube videos and leave comments, and also interact with people on Instagram and Facebook. Some blogs also federate too via WordPress. I know you dont have to imagine that since you’re here, but when I first started out it blew my mind.
Now, the way I phrase it to people I’m pitching the platforms to is “You get to choose whether you want to be in the hands of either a Corp that wants to turn you into profits for their shareholders, or you can put your data in the hands of some autistic dork who is really, really passionate about either server architecture or infosec. There’s pros and cons there. Bluesky and Twitter fundamentally are not on your side, they want money from somewhere, but they can afford to pay people to both keep their servers running efficiently and defend against bad actors. The admins of Lemmy and Mastodon are fundamentally on our side, but the quality you’re going to see is on par with a hobby project.”

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"?English
5·6 months agoThe GBA game for Avatar: the Last Airbender. Tried to revisit it as an adult, couldn’t find any reviews for it online. Apparently it was so obviously shovelware thay nobody gave it the time of day.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•It's Father's Day in the United States. What is a memory of your father that left the greatest impact on your life?English
101·6 months agoWhen I was in boy scouts, my dad at one point made a comment to me that our Senior Patrol Leader was “just like me, but older”
What he meant was that our SPL was an immature little shit and I shouldn’t rely on him. What i heard was “Your personal role model is just like you, and you can be as awesome as him if you put the work in.”

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•what would it take for you to take back a partner who cheated on you ?English
31·6 months agoThis feels like it was written one-handed.
About the data, a huuuge chunk of men arent happy in their own skin being themselves. This leads to constant dating and an increased likelihood to cheat. Its more common for women to he happy with themselves, which leads to less desperation in dating and less cheating.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•what is your silliest, simple accomplishment?English
17·6 months agoOne time as a 19-year-old, I planned out an entire Traveler campaign in the span of two weeks. 46 planets, each with distinct cultures, local flora and fauna, and a unique questline for each one. There was an overarching plotline about a Doctor Sinestar abducting people and stealing tech. I basically spent two weeks in my room furiously typing from when I woke up until I fell asleep at my keyboard, ignoring my bodily functions until my body forced me to take care of it. It was a race against burnout, and I won, but at what cost?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why are eink devices so unaffordable?English
3·6 months agoI actually already have the Alphasmart Neo. I just have baggage about taking it outside to write since I was given it when I was in 5th grade, so my bad self talk likes to remind me that “this is a device for children to do their English assignments on” whenever I take it out as an adult

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Hey Lemmy, what browser do you use and why?English
2·6 months agoDon’t worry, I get it. That’s partly why I commented here. Ive been kinda hoping someone would chime in and tell me about a browser that can block ads and sync with your phone without being, you know, chromium.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Hey Lemmy, what browser do you use and why?English
21·6 months agoBrave. It blocks all the ads and syncs with my phone. That’s all I want. I like using Librewolf more (with uBlock Origin) but it doesnt sync with my phone so I can’t really use it as a daily driver
