How's My Driving?




HOW'S MY DRIVING?



Hello, Equestrians! Its time for a game-wide HMD!

Here's how it works:

  1. Post your name, along with what character(s) you play.
  2. If you want, specify particular areas you would like feedback on! (It's okay to ask for just general feedback!)
  3. Indicate whether or not you're okay with anonymous feedback. (It's totally cool if you don't.) You can also post links to your character's personal HMD if you'd prefer comments there.
  4. Reply to other people telling them how you think they are doing.
  5. Be polite and objective! If someone says they're cool with anonymous crit, that is not an invitation to be unfriendly. No one likes a Diamond Tiara!
    If you have something negative to say about somebody else's playing, make your points politely and suggest ways to improve. To give an example:
    • X - Unhelpful Diamond Tiara - "Jeez, Terri, can you learn to type? You've got about a billion typos in your posts!"
    • O - Helpful Not Diamond Tiara - "Hi, Terri, I noticed you have a number of typos in your posts. Something you might want to do is give your posts that one last look-over before hitting submit. It would really help with readability!"
  6. ?????
  7. PROFIT

You don't have to post your own characters to give other people feedback! You don't have to post your characters at all if you don't want to. It is 100% OPTIONAL. If you do post, we would encourage you to give feedback to at least one other person!

Flattery is welcome just as much as concrit!

As people who follow my plurk have noticed, I've been having. A reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallly hard time getting any sort of focus in this game. I'm not sure how much people outside of myself can help me with this, but maybe hearing some feedback could be a boot to the flank in getting moving again? IDK.

I dunno what to say that I haven't said on Plurk to you about this, but I'll reiterate that the biggest problem with playing Fourth Wall aware characters in a panfandom jamjar is that sometimes you'll be expected or assumed to recognize a thing that you, as a player, have no interest in.

Really, there's no easy way around that fact except to either feign interest (ie "spend a few hours on Wikipedia and TV Tropes until you can adequately bullshit your way out of the paper bag") or to not worry about defying those assumptions. It it doesn't bother you as a player, then you'll be more likely to keep on rolling in spite of the few speed bumps.

Past that, Jack certainly has more potential than you give him credit for - by now he's been here at least half a year, so it's pretty safe to assume he's got a set routine he does every day that keeps him going, even in the absence of a MayJ. After all, he IS a Harvest Moon protag, so he should be used to weaving in and out of other people's lives based on their schedules. Maybe figuring out what exactly his daily routine is will help you figure out some things to do with him or places to tag him out?

Yeah, I think ultimately the problem I have (in both cases, really) is that I don't have the energy to expend effort to figure these things out. even something as simple as figuring out a schedule, because I know for a fact that Jack has potential, I just need to get to it x.x

IT'S DANGEROUS TO GO ALONE, TAKE THESE.

Holy spoons, Batman!!!
noxequus: (easy to be distrustful)

[personal profile] noxequus 2014-04-05 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
But holey spoons won't hold any soup.

But the slotted spoon can catch the potato :)

And then you put the lime in the coconut and shake it all up?
