@lemmy.worldSay hypothetically I've already shot my shot and was shot down, how would I go about getting over this (without rebounding to other people or whatever)?
Edit: Thanks everyone, for all the comments, support, and advice! Majority rules a tie between time and distractions lol. Seriously though thanks y'all
I don't know if it's an effect of growing up or an effect of growing up during these trying ass times but sometimes it feels like that spark of creativity is gone (or at least incredibly diminished).
Went back and read one of my older stories from a few years back and I gotta say, it's striking how entertaining and creative I found it, and when I think to anything I written recently, it's depressing how dull/uninspired it is.
::: spoiler Title when Enri summons the goblin army. :::
all that buildup and all that payoff is just so incredible. the army coming from nowhere to blindside both the reader and Prince Barbro's army in the nick of time, just for them to thoroughly wipe the floor with them, the way literally everyone is shocked by this genuinely random development (that still makes total sense in the context of the story) just grabs me like nothing else. it's not something this story does often either, so it's especially special (ie it's not overdone in the story so it isn't stale). seeing the underdog suddenly get a huge set of reinforcements is crazy n I love it so much. and since it's a side character, it's an excellently well placed foil to Ainz already having that power and defeating the rest of the kingdom's armies. it's just... chef's kiss
I bought a laptop yesterday, it came pre-installed with Windows 11. I hate win 11 so I switched it down to Windows 10, but then started considering using Linux for total control over the laptop, but here's the thing: I keep seeing memes about how complicated or fucky wucky Linux is to install and run. I love the idea of open source software and an operating system without any of the bullshit that comes with Windows, but most of the open source stuff I have is on my android and fairly easy to install. Installing and using Linux just feels like it'll be a whole different beast that'll eat up most of my time and I'm kind of intimidated by it.
TL;DR Linux scawy, how does a barely computer literate scrub like me who's used nothing but windows since the dawn of their life get started with Linux?
So far for me it's Konosuba and Dungeon Meshi. I've already read Mushoku Tensei and I don't think I can stomach watching it animated, but I haven't really heard much about any of the other new releases.
Reddit had a feature where you're able to configure multireddits, or basically a custom feed of select subreddits and only those, kinda like a preset subscribe list. Does Jerboa have this feature?
