Cuts and nicks all over and bruises on both wrists.

Do I want to know what you've been doing with your hands to cause such damage to them? Have you been punching down buildings? You have been punching down buildings haven't you?! They aren't designed for building demolition, ein. I am very dissapointed.

To be honest, I have no fucking clue.
It's pretty annoying though.

I am well aware of this fact.
This is simply the first time I've acquired so much of it at once.

Due to unfortunate circumstances, I have to wear a pair of not so clean underwear for about an hour and a half until the laundry is done.

I can make it through this.

My suggestion game has received a handful of views and no posts. I didn't expect it to be the next Elves of Amanereli or anything, but it's been nearly two days and it's already probably sunk down to the depths of forum page eight.

Blunt, unwarranted suggestions ho!

I'm not big on the adventure games myself, but I'd still suggest that if you aren't selling it with pictures, get attention through use of color, formatting, or something else. You have to convince folks that what they're about to read will be entertaining and worth their time to read, if they don't already know your writing. Also, starting it off with self-deprecation and exclamations of what a bad idea it was to do doesn't speak highly of it either... not a good hook to snag your audience, when you only have a few moments in which to do so.

I'd rather people have the patience to at least read it through and give it a chance other than judging their opinions on "ooooh, colors!" Also, me? making a shameless advertisement for a failing forum game on a completely unrelated thread? Why I'd never!

It is, perhaps, and unfortunate reality of making a creative project... but you need to attract the attention of your audience somehow, and do so quickly. You don't open a movie with a long exposition without some pretty pictures in the background, or some other gimick to hold the audience long enough for them to give the story a chance.

Besides, even if you're averse to attracting attention using visual hooks, you've still (at least in part) tried to attract it by posting the above messages, no?

Made my morning coffee, but had no milk in the house. Tried putting sourmilk in it instead.
It doesn't taste right. :(

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Who is the new Vester and all that.

I'm not totally understanding the situation here. You were supposed to get out of bed and didn't, then blame them for looking for an excuse to yell at you? Context will have to be given to make this situation less weird to me.
