Yeah lol, it's nice to have two goals so I can stay motivated even when I know I won't reach my big goal :p
& will any luck I'll have one of those inspired sessions, it always feels so nice to be locked into the flow of writing

Aw that sounds like an amazing journey towards reconnecting with poetry and writing.
I've also found poetry can be much more illuminating than journaling. I think for me it's that my inner monolog is very rigid & sometimes journaling just repeats those inner judgements whereas poetry forces me to word things differently & in that process I find I have new things to say.
I hope you keep finding inspiration to be creative this month, would love to hear about how your journey progresses :)
That's a super understandable challenge of writing beyond your lived identity. I would say to base the characters on a specific indigenous group. Heavily research that group, their customs, and their history. Look for first hand accounts. & If at all possible seek feedback on your characters and writing from the groups you are writing about as well.
Having the characters based on real peope helps prevent them from becomming stereotypes & can help give you the added ideas for how certain situations might be handled by different peoples.
Good luck on beefing up your outline :) I hope august is a productive month
This month was fairly productive for me :) I got another chapter drafted for my book, some new scene ideas written up, & did some restructuring of the outline.
I'm worried this month won't be as productive, my moving date is 3 days away, my sister is visiting, & I start work again at the end of the month. Its going to be busy & im not sure how much time ill be able to find for writing.
My realistic goal for the month is to get my writing space set up in the new house. My lofty goal is to have another chapter drafted & a more structured outline for the first section of the book.
I'm looking forward to seeing what other people were able to get done this month :)
Ooooo I love that they kept it black and white & are being true to ito's style!!! It's hard animate his art & it looks like this adaptation is going to do the source material justice :D so exciting
That's a fair critique. Specific games ive been playing & would have bases to share would be grounded, terraria, subnautica, stardew valley, the long dark, and maybe some others. I want to try and keep it from being all one game to both give it a wider appeal & to encourage it to be more about the creativity of bases rather than just an ad for a specific game.
I also do think it would be fun to include irl 'bases', like the tree stumps that serve as a roly poly base in my back yard, or my car when I convert it to my travel base, or a fun backpacking set up (im going to isle royale this fall, im sure well have some cute 'bases'). Maybe that's kind of overly broad? I think it could be fun if moderated correctly.
I'll give it some time & see if there's any more feedback on if it's wanted or not. Or if anyone knows of exisiting communities that fit what im looking for. Maybe I'll post in the new months meta post since that tends to get more eyes at the start of the month.
Libredirect is great, just added it to firefox! I can finally watch all those tiktok links people send me lol
& for anyone else thinking of trying it, if a site won't load change your default proxy instance :)
Such a good one, I love junji's style of body horror. So eerie & unnerving.
Hi! I want to make a base building community. It would be for pictures of game bases (or irl bases if people set up a cool campsite or something that qualifies as a base). It's my favorite type of game & something I don't currently see on lemmy. If it does already exist, let me know and I'll happily join the already existing community :)
Otherwise, could I create that community on this instance? I wasn't sure if it would fit with the slrpnk theme, but I think it kind of could because base building games tend to center around self sufficiency, survival, and exploration.
I plan on posting my own bases from games & have quite a few screenshots to try and populate the community to start with. Let me know if it would be okay :)
It varies depending on location. A more accurate name would be global weirding. Some places will get wetter, some drier, some areas will get much warmer, some will have more extreme cold events.
We might see a shift in air currents making the Sahara desert move back to being a grassland and Europe could lose much of its rainfall. Established agriculture will likely have a hard time adjusting to the new climate and could cause global food scarcity.
Absolutly fantastic explination of how to conceptualize the complexities of geometry. Such an interesting area of mathematics
