I like his list of words to not use. When you stop and think, even the common ones do seem pretty forced.brythain wrote:Hmmm, here's an article about an interesting writing aid.
Essentially, it's a collection of useful lists that can be applied to style-check your work for bad 'diction'.

Re: What would you have done if you made the game?
'What would you have done if you made the game?' The WHOLE game? Probably curled up in a ball and started humming 'Love Shack' whilst rocking backwards and forwards. I'd have probably done the music if I was given a role. And made a much worse job than NicolAmalfi did, I'm sure :P The fact that you...

You can sum up their conclusion as "Fuck sign language, just try real hard to speak."

Re: Journey of a Non-weeaboo
You are putting a yet to be born child at risk... Yes, and I condemn a ton of yet-to-be-born children to non-existence every time I decide to play with myself. I'm pretty sure your sperm don't turn into human children by themselves after you masturbate. I'm willing to move on, but we have to actual...

Re: Journey of a Non-otaku
Stuff Imagine if your potential partner demanded that you not look him/her in the eye "for a couple of years". Is lack of eye contact going to kill you? No. But it will probably kill the relationship. You'd have to go way, way out of your way to not make eye contact ever. Unlike sex, where you pret...

Re: Journey of a Non-otaku
Well, thank you Aura. That makes sense, and I appreciate you stepping in here with some advice, since you entirely didn't need to. As for the topic at hand, I really don't think it was your responsibility to teach anything. I hate when people blame fictional media for things like violence and drug u...

Re: Journey of a Non-otaku
Goddammit, I don't know anymore. Yes, I'm aware that sex can be intensely emotional and I loved Emi's last H-scene for it. I really loved Emi in general as a concept, and still do. That being said, for me, just cuddling or even laying next to her without saying a word would be incredible enough. I'm...

Re: Journey of a Non-otaku
I really wish we had more information on Iwanako, though. Every time I get to this part it feels so melodramatic because I barely know the character. As far as I know, Hisao kind of liked her is all. I'm probably just missing something, maybe because I skip the beginning every time I play through, ...
