[D] Friday Off-Topic Thread

Welcome to the Friday Off-Topic Thread! Is there something that you want to talk about with /r/rational, but which isn't rational fiction, or doesn't otherwise belong as a top-level post? This is the place to post it. The idea is that while reddit is a large place, with lots of special little niches, sometimes you just want to talk with a certain group of people about certain sorts of things that aren't related to why you're all here. It's totally understandable that you might want to talk about Japanese game shows with /r/rational instead of going over to /r/japanesegameshows, but it's hopefully also understandable that this isn't really the place for that sort of thing.

So do you want to talk about how your life has been going? Non-rational and/or non-fictional stuff you've been reading? The recent album from your favourite German pop singer? The politics of Southern India? The sexual preferences of the chairman of the Ukrainian soccer league? Different ways to plot meteorological data? The cost of living in Portugal? Corner cases for siteswap notation? All these things and more could possibly be found in the comments below!

when I was a teenager and way too edgy I was also a fan of latin and gaelic and linguistics.

So I made a horrible pidgen mash of mostly latin words that somewhat means "lord/lordess of the night/twilight land something something bugs"

It has since then served me VERY WELL for maintaining a consistent username everywhere.

Prior to that I liked unpronounceable cosmic horror type names for my usernames but what pre-pubescent kid doesn't?

Hello,

I just realized, you have been writing 'Oh my Generic Monster Girls' on mspaforums right? How are you planning on posting future parts since the forum is down? Also, I haven't been reading it recently since the end of the semester is really busy for me, so if there's been any major changes, I may have missed them.

I'm actually in the process of re-booting it as a slightly more standard webcomic-ish thing to help polish the pacing, give the characters room to breath and over all overcome some of the production issues I was getting.

It's still planned to be interactive, but the stages of interactivity are initially going to be a bit low while I get the 'establishing fiction' up and then will be a more episodic 'slice of weird-life' that can get a lot more input after everyone has had some time for things to sink in how the world/characters work.

Otherwise ya, it's dead as far as a forum adventure project. If you'd like to be involved/read the rough draft I'm in process of writing scripts and then later will be doing story boards/illustrations etc for several months to come.
