abhuman @braindamagedcat.bsky.social · 04/10/2026terminal social media is an infectious disease that causes people to believe discourse has ever created anything of value at any point, for anyone, ever. 000

abhuman @braindamagedcat.bsky.social · 17/09/2026idk sounds kinda heretical to me, what else are strangely easy to open cell doors and chains with just enough give to be dangerous for? 020
abhuman @braindamagedcat.bsky.social · 13/09/2026i swear some authors learn adversity can be a source of intrigue and growth for characters and just forget literally everything else. your characters getting kicked in the teeth and and losing every single chapter is not any less boring than constant victory, frankly its often moreso 000
abhuman @braindamagedcat.bsky.social · 10/09/2026sometimes litrpgs are really funny. why are you recreating the worst parts of mid rpgs. why are there five redundant annoying stats. why are there “mild stat increase” perks, aka literally the worst kind of perk ever invented. genuinely baffling 010
abhuman @braindamagedcat.bsky.social · 08/09/2026i get it, its a tempting thought, its just also fundamentally philosophically dysfunctional. at most blocklists with specific actionable inputs, "following over 10k", "following jesse s*ngal" can be functional, but even then keep an eye on those running them when you can. 000
abhuman @braindamagedcat.bsky.social · 08/09/2026don't trust other people to think for you and do your blocking yourself, it is very easy and very satisfying on this website. even back on twitter with much weaker lists every single one was corrupt to some degree. 100
abhuman @braindamagedcat.bsky.social · 08/09/2026not that its the fault of the people falsely being put on them mind, but it kinda absolutely is the fault of people following and putting faith in these things. don't hand that kind of power to unaccountable randos with a superiority and/or savior complex, it was never going to end well. 110
abhuman @braindamagedcat.bsky.social · 08/09/2026the entire history of this site until it dies is just going to be people being too intellectually incurious to realize that blocklists curated by other people are a dogshit idea, being shocked when another one turns out to be dogshit, and then going right back to step one huh. 110
abhuman @braindamagedcat.bsky.social · 07/09/2026i really need to figure out linux soon, windows 10 is at this point functionally indistinguishable from malware between copilot and being so horribly optimized for older computers 000
abhuman @braindamagedcat.bsky.social · 06/09/2026writing PSA, goodwill is an expendable resource, and writing pure nonsensical narrative convenience spends it, exponentially so if you do repetitively without breaks in major plot beats. if you write an interesting story with heart you can get away with a lot, but at least go for different tricks 010
abhuman @braindamagedcat.bsky.social · 05/09/2026the lack of philosophy education or real ethical interrogation is so incredibly annoying so very often. people engaging in abject moral farces with no relation to the characters actual life experiences, because they are thoughtlessly and carelessly reproducing corporate pseudo-morals ineptly. 031
abhuman @braindamagedcat.bsky.social · 05/09/2026gutlessness applied to good concepts can be so singularly frustrating. fascinating concepts kneecapped by mcu morality and tumblr therapy speak dialogue where a character killing a murderous genocidally oppressive raider is waffled and agonized over, pointlessly allowing them to continue 110
abhuman @braindamagedcat.bsky.social · 02/09/2026royal road readers. a major hive of scum and villainy, the rr comment section is maybe the most illiterate place i have ever seen lmao, and the only place i have ever seen this regularly happen. not that that is necessarily an excuse, one should be able to recognize its bs, but that is where. 050

abhuman @braindamagedcat.bsky.social · 23/08/2026yeah, self playing isnt the gameplay loop its the end-credits/victory screen lmao, the moment when your build is in full swing and you can just sit back and watch it produce the dopamine inducing funni numbers 030

abhuman @braindamagedcat.bsky.social · 18/08/2026sometimes lack of pacing is just the most agonizing thing when dealing with a really good story. incredibly fun and fascinating stuff but wow i did not need that 20k words on demonstrating a new major character being an utterly unlikable piece of shit, yes ik its redemption arc, idgaf, be succint 100
abhuman @braindamagedcat.bsky.social · 15/08/2026i don't care if its realistic that everyone is too pathetic to actually do anything lasting about sexpests and slavers, if you want to luridly use them as a narrative element in your fiction, you don't get to be a fucking coward if you want your story to be worth reading. 000
abhuman @braindamagedcat.bsky.social · 15/08/2026its so frustrating when an interesting book concept falls apart into narrative cowardliness and laziness. reaching for every dull half-baked trope & ill-considered standard, leaning on shockjock sexpest badguys while having no decency or conviction in depicting them & being too cowardly to end them 100

abhuman @braindamagedcat.bsky.social · 05/08/202621 chapters before anything meaningful or anything besides internal monologue, and before anything changes from the status quo established in chapter one initial paragraphs, despite ample motive and means. the pacing is so incredibly, remarkably, uniquely bad its almost an artform itself. 100

abhuman @braindamagedcat.bsky.social · 22/07/2026like please, if you have a basic, key, emotionally invested goal in your story, which you introduce as one or two steps away from the very start, fucking conclude it in book one. constantly inventing delays to push it to book four doesnt make it clever, it makes ppl want to stop reading 110
abhuman @braindamagedcat.bsky.social · 22/07/2026much as i love reading indie fiction, if there was one lesson i could en masse force ppl to internalize it would be to not default to wasting your readers fuckin time. half a dozen intermission chapters after cliffhangers or constantly inventing new reasons to delay a close goal are mind-numbing. 120
abhuman @braindamagedcat.bsky.social · 22/07/2026the problem with reading a bunch of books in a row is you start to notice the author is a one trick pony. its all very well and good the first time a character charges ahead, fucks up like an idiot, and barely scrapes through while making no real progress but after the fifth time its fucking boring 010
abhuman @braindamagedcat.bsky.social · 22/07/2026sometimes i feel like theres been an overcorrection to “emotional realism” in a lot of recent sci-fi/fantasy stuff ive happened upon. like yes i get its realistic for a person to be utterly useless in the face of danger constantly but it makes for incredibly unpleasant reads, esp when action heavy 100
abhuman @braindamagedcat.bsky.social · 14/07/2026being baffled by basic human traits existing in side characters, vociferously decrying the lack of explanation for something repeatedly explained, and incapable of even basic literacy and reading between the lines. dude has a breakdown after nearly dying and losing friends, they go "where the signs" 000
