If camping is a problem, it’s almost always a system issue.

There’s some fantastic suggestions in the thread already, so I won’t repeat any of them. However I will note that if you’re particularly sensitive to flavours, it’s going to be nigh impossible to get anywhere close to chicken without actual chicken. If you try a bunch of veggie stock and end up still not quite satisfied, I’ve found success redirecting a dish toward a different main ingredient instead - coconut, peanut, etc. - so that I end up appreciating the dish for without comparing it with a meat-based version.

I can’t think of a story focused game that fits any of these points… has OP played many story driven games before?

The actual idea of crypto is reaaallly cool: a decentralized trust system that enables incredibly difficult to fake transactions and records without the need for a trusted third party.

Unfortunately a lot of the implementations relied on ‘capital’ as the proof of trust - GPU work (money) and number of controlled instances (money) are two big ones. Which really all led them down the path of ____coin which is fundamentally incompatible with the ideal of ‘no third party can govern trust’ because suddenly whichever party that has all the proof of trust is now the third party that can govern trust and approve transactions. Someone can own a ___coin.

Crypto could have been a decentralised system that can keep public records, documents, ideas, etc. - it can guarantee authorship and date if a user is willing to submit identity information. Lots of actually useful functions!

I think writing is worth picking up for sure. It can be quite fun for one, and also I feel that my time spent writing has made it easier for me to organise and sort through my thoughts.

how do you even start writting and what makes an idea worth writting, where do i even begin?

I seem to start by riffing off things I’ve absorbed and wanted to expand on - video games, songs, movies, pictures, other stories, etc. etc.

fanfic seems interesting but also cringe so im not too sure as i said also what is the point of writting fanfic.

Fanfic is cringe and I think that’s what I love about it: the premise is laid out so I can walk in as a reader knowing what to expect. A well written fic will then add enough spice to make it interesting and comforting all at once.

what is the point of writting fanfic.

I feel like the goal of most fanfics is to tell the story in a way that the author felt like it should have been told, either instead of or in addition to how the story was told in the source material.
