In Star Wars the Old Republic I'd love to undo The Knights of the Eternal Throne and Knights of the Fallen Empire expansions. They were far too big departures from the Jedi vs Sith and Republic/Rebels vs Empire elements that I want in Star Wars and were the point where playing as a non force...

Gratz, it's a big achievement. :blob_okay: Many of those games are fun and casual enough to almost get me hooked, but boy, the predatory monetization is sickening. Never go back, you don't need those evil pixels!

I lay out some events that have to occur and some people that have to be met/interacted with, and create some empty “chapter” documents that I can dump ideas relevant to them in as they crop up. Overall, I'd say I like to have an idea for half an “arc” but with a lot of pantsing and moving...

The Killers asked during their thesis Human (2008) whether we are Human or Dancer. Since I cannot dance, I am by process of elimination human, and thus not delusional.

My nickname from friends was “Denver.” I'm not even from the States, but they said it's a name for someone who is “smart” and “gay.” Looking back ten years later, the nickname turned out to be inaccurate, as I'm not smart at all.

Master of Orion (2016) and Endless Space 2. Finally got into TBS 4X games after finding them a little daunting before.

"I don't need you to worry for me 'cause I'm alright I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home I don't care what you say anymore this is my life Go ahead with your own life leave me alone" -My Life, Billy Joel The song in general just speaks to me. Far too many people interfere with...

That "pipe cleaners" clean smoking pipes. Born in the city in '96, I've never known anybody that smoked a pipe and never questioned where the name came from and simply knew them for their use in arts and crafts.

Set yourself a very low word target compared to what you are typically capable of when motivated. Although I sometimes roll my eyes at "just do it" kinds of advice, it is actually solid and can help slowly breaking you out of a rut.

I'm usually very impressed by my older work in comparison to newer stuff, before realising it means that my last two brain cells have bruised even more during in the time between writing that work and the present, and feeling rather sad.
