  • TIL that there is a Indie Book Sale

    Jump

  • Indie Authors 🙂 . The initiative was founded by Tessa Hastjarjanto around 2022. The Narratess Indie Sale is a curated promotion featuring self-published titles and works published by small, independent presses, primarily in fantasy, science fiction, and horror genres. It’s hosted via indiebook.sale, which acts as the discovery hub for the promotion.

  • 95% cooking at home. It can be like simple meal to more complex. I love cooking so I don't mind. And we are saving up so such that way. Eating out is getting more and more expensive and what I am getting in my plate is just shrinking. Delivery? When we want something very specifics. It happens once or twice a month.

  • Do you seem to get angrier at night?

    Jump

  • Nope as I am at home and I see no one. Well, except bf and my kitties.

  • Is there a name for the dark-fantasy/pirate genre?

    Jump

  • To answer your question. Not officially. You can find those maybe through: Nautical Dark Fantasy, Dark Nautical Fiction. Or just Dark fantasy with pirates.

  • Which “small” indie game/film/book hit you harder than most blockbusters?

  • M137 to Ask Lemmy • Which “small” indie game/film/book hit you harder than most blockbusters? 4· 1 day ago This post kinda implies that OP thinks the default is that blockbusters have more soul and hits people harder than indie and passion projects, which is the opposite of the truth. Art made by fewer people generally has more soul and a stronger personality which translates to feelings by the person experiencing the art. They aren’t put through a grinder of corporate bullshit to not be offensive or say anything of actual value.

    I think you misread me 🙂 I wasn’t implying blockbusters have more soul by default. I’m genuinely curious which indie projects hit people as strongly (or even harder) than blockbusters. Just a straightforward question.

  • Maybe. I consider Greedfall as indie game as not really known. I love it. So, maybe, yes. the "small" is little bit too much.... 😅

  • Lack of education : History tells us what happened and how. But, people find it boring. It is true that what it is in the past must stay in the past but it still teaches so you do not make the same mistake again.

    Make one main enemy/villain/ the cause of the problem (even if it is not): The most effective trick ever. (think like you are at work, you hate one colleague, you find out that another colleague hate the same colleague. You become friend.)

    Make a second enemy/villain/ the cause of the problem (even if it is not): So you diffuse more problems (safe side - figure of speech.)

    As one says: Divide and conquer (always works).

    BUT ALWAYS a minority as it works better. You need to please the majority.

    In general people are tired of ineffective politics: so they try something new and/or it resonates with them, meaning they see that it is maybe true that the problem is the example (s) given by the fascists/nazis/neonazis etc. But, they will not check if it is true as they think the politicians know what they do. Even if, if you think about it. Anyone can be a politician, you need to know how to speak, to present yourself well, to have a vision, to know how to gather people together, to lead. The rest you delegate to more competent people who know their fields.

    Once the hook works, you work with the emotions, some facts (fake or not). You slightly change the narrative so it is matching your "vision", "ideology". This is where, usually, you can get them as you can double-check if it is true or not. This is where you see the true journalists at work. And through asking questions.

    Example: LGBTQA+ community (quite a """""trend""""" to bash at (sarcasm)). A lot of politicians say that it is destroying the society, family, we need to protect the kids (the ultimate red flag of all) etc. One just need to ask them (politicians), the right questions. In what sense it is destroying the society? Etc, etc etc. So, you can show that what they say, their ideology is just fake, anti-human. etc. But, people do not do it or few. You can apply for each point of their speech.

    (Besides, the most homophobic person is a gay in the closet. Grindr never lies!!!!!!)

    Then, control, media, press etc. You slightly divide the majority so better control.

    So basically, the same pattern that history teaches.

  • What would you do if you could transform into an invisible tiger?

    Jump

  • Well... If you insist. 😀 I think I would miss the comfort of a clean house (no insects, no fleas, no ticks- I assume there are ticks in the jungle.) If I keep thinking like a human.
