Hot Take: Car chases in GTA IV are fantastic compared to other GTA games

From the police chases playing out extremely cinematicly and like actual car chases, added with the car physics in this game make the car chases always fun to do.

I do hope GTA 6 will have cops not be literal brainless morons like in 5 and make them more like the 4th game.

Every time I go back to GTA 4, I keep getting surprised by how smart the cops are with their tactics and such.

I guess I will have to take that massive L up my chest, I have failed.

I really, really wanted to manage and do this. My account anniversary is tomorrow. I thought it would be the coolest thing to do, but I literally can't fart out a word out anymore on the page.

Welp...

Okay... I do keep backups on the writing apps, but I just like writing the stories on through the Edit Chapter more.

Oh, we've come full circle...

I remember a year ago, I wanted to publish one of my first works onto Wattpad, and it was simply reported for the graphic depiction of violence and many more themes I used in my story, so I said fuck it.

Until a lady in a Discord server I used to be in recommended me AO3 (she was only reading about Bruce Wayne smuts) and it has almost been one year since I made the switch to AO3, my join date being... September 11th.

Now seeing all the Wattpad users who are migrating to AO3 makes me happy, not in a pity way, but simply because I know that they will also taste the freedom that this site gives and write what they want without much censorship blocking their real vision.

In any case, as much as people clown on them with memes here, I still would like to welcome them and hope they get to write what they want without some moderator nagging on their butt about their work not suiting the site.

Is this normal?

Okay, I might be new to this as I absolutely don't typically write smut, I only write GEN works, and in my story I had to write down a sex scene (which I told myself I would never do, 'cause I hate seeing them on movies/series and even books at times, looking at you Stephen King - with your drawn out and useless sex scenes that do NOT SERVE THE PLOT!!!)

Yet, when I was writing my scene out, I was like ''damn this is good, actually?'' and I am not sure what to feel about that. Does that mean that the scene I wrote out is a decent quality smut scene or that I'm simply so used to not writing a scene like that, that it amazed me to write it that good in detail?

Why do some players just hoard everything and not ever use the things they hoard? (NMRIH2)

I keep matching up with players who pick up every single ammo type they see, which, they most of the time do not even have the weapons to use them, or players who rush and unload every single guns in the care packages to leave nothing for the rest of the team.

I do get the occasional players who do cooperate and share ammo, or even weapons at times, but most of the time it is the latter who do not care about the rest of the team.

The pain...

I mean, I'm proud of the work, it has the best lines of dialogue I have written for it, but I simply had thought it would spark something new in the fandom... before I realized that the Fandom is mostly dead.

Edit: I also realized I lost my user subscriber after releasing this fic, so it is truly cursed.

Fic readers, what are your thoughts on images inside Fic?

I'm writing a mystery thriller fic set in the Cyberpunk universe, and I added a few pictures into the fic when the protagonist is going through the database and looking at locations, pictures I have edited to fit what he is seeing. I don't usually put images in the fics, and I have been debating if they should stay there ever since I put it there.

Do pictures, when used in an immersive way in a fic, still pull you out of the fic as a reader?

When you post a new chapter and the subscriber count goes down by one

I sadly had this happen, and I feel like I simply failed that one reader. I need some emotional support 😞

I love this Quickhack so much

Using overclock to use it on multiple people in a gunfight is always so satisfying.

...am I okay?

Any favorite quickhacks that you overuse to oblivion?

Listening to music is my greatest inspiration

Some of my fics have all been born from me listening to a song and letting my mind imagine a world with the lyrics on my head, or most of my action scenes - I tend to listen to tense music or just boss themes.

''Waiting around to die'' literally inspired my newest fic that I'm still writing, the entire plot came from me listening to a music and getting a very good inspiration. Not sure if it was the lyrics or not, but it helped me jump-start a new story.

How does music affect your writing, or does it inspire you in any way too?

It made my entire night as it happened

I was writing my Original Work duology's final work as a commenter, in middle of the night started to go through the whole story (50K Words) and comment on each chapter every thirty-minutes. Most of them being positive, it made me emotional to have a commenter be this interactive with one of my works for the first time.

Has there been a memorable commenter that you still occasionally remember? 'Cause this person has made my entire night and I still remember them.

Finally published it... and now I feel empty.

I had put one of my fics on hold in due to the various AO3 author curse accidents, and having returned from military service, I finally finished the fic and published it in all its glory. Now... I feel empty...

I would wake up to write entire chapters in there, and now that it is finished - I feel extremely empty inside. Welp, time to write about my favorite lesbians I guess. 🤷‍♀️

What do i do when i cant afford therapy?

The free government 'therapy' is terrible here, where they don't even care or bother and just send you down the line of drugs, and drugs, they have only made me worse nor helped in shutting down my irrational thoughts.

My family learned of my mental well-being a month ago, and I had kept it from them thinking they would get mad at me or think that I didn't deserve to feel any of this, yet, when they learned; they simply just... didn't care enough? I mentioned I wanted to get therapy, and they simply told me they couldn't afford it at the moment, nor they sounded like they wanted to get me the help I need

what do I do, I'm so tired of the flashes of bad memories and the constant irrational thoughts. I'm tired of being all alone. Even some of the people I talked to stopped talking to me completely.
