Stories that left you disappointed for a reason

[Serpent]

A lot was already said, so I'll just keep it short, but I just had to say my piece as well
First, that Norz character is a complete, batshit insane retard, from what I can tell. I read those comments yesterday, and yeah, I think something in their brain probably broke, and as someone who doesn't give af about their mental health, I think that that's an incentive enough for them to stop going on the internet and spread the bs about "leaking little penises" .I think that their parents have probably given up on their ***, but if not, they should probably take the electronics away, and send them to a psych ward. Just saying.
As for everything else, yeah, it really does read like she's telling **** you to all the potential subs, and even all the previous ones too. Because from what I can tell, she's just saying that she cares about your money, and that she'll take it and that's that. She can block you and still get your money, and that is not something that would fly with Patreon afaik. Especially with her illegally obtained information about what's done with her content.
All in all, it's what we've all known for a very long time, which is that Tumblr is a cesspool of toxic, leftist retards who are everything that's wrong with this world. And unfortunately, biggest chunk of if creators is the same as that audience of theirs.
Sad words we live in bois (since we're all apparently single, jobless guys on here)

*You mean US Americans and Canadians. South America and Mexico exist...Also I'm pretty sure Jude is from LATAM but I could be wrong. I think these authors just like to assume everyone who pirates their IFs is from the US and has a well paying job otherwise they'd feel bad a bit .

Afaik she takes pride in the fact that she's a latina, and if she thinks that her latino people, who earn like three pesos a day can continuously pay 8 bucks for her content, over and over again because that's how it works, since it's not a single purchase because you don't own the thing you pay for, yeeeeee, that's a bad look.
But even if people didn't want to pay, and have just wanted to see if the content was worth paying for? What about them? I know that I've pirated many ifs that turned out to be hot garbage, and yet on Steam, they are priced as if they are the best **** ever created (I'm talking at like 14+ bucks for a 350k word game that's ***)

Kudos to Hackett and all the people who keep leaking stuff. Yall guys are the real mvps

she should alongside her followers to go nd touch grass. Just grow a spine.
it's the internet, anything that can be consumed will be inevitably pirated lmao, like who do you think u are to be exempted.
Just be godamn proud to realize ur trash is important enough to be given such grace. damn imbéciles and their very evident hentai anime type of retorts because who says things like getting praised because ur "leaking".

Oh boy, I knew I was in for an entertaining read when I logged on today and saw how active this thread has been. I have no dog in this fight bc I read Jude's games and REALLY did not like them so I don't follow her or anything like that, I'm just a bystander watching the chaos unfold lmao *cue Michael Jackson eating popcorn gif*. But the sheer amount of malding this drama has caused has probably been more entertaining than reading her precious patreon leaks I'm sorry lmao I'm usually not a mean person dhjfsjf but it will never not be funny every time an author and their unhinged parasocial fans have a crash out over this site. Honorable mentions to the Mindblind author and Dao Ascention author especially lmao, who would have known the way to stop people leaking your content is to have a dramatic virtual breakdown and threaten to stop working on the game? But anyway... I guess I shouldn't be surprised at the mental stability of certain individuals in the IF fandom considering what kind of WIPs and tropes usually tend to gain popularity And somehow, I'm not surprised that it's this author having a crash out again lmao, didn't we already go through this a few months ago?

Damn, then jude is completely delusional, imagine being latino and not seeing how every country of LATAM is ****ed i am brazilian so i can say my two cents

Honestly, same Even though I was screenshot-ed, not like I give a flying **** If anything, the whole thing was very entertaining to me, and since I haven't read her stories, nor do I plan to, yeah, I think that this is much better entertainment than those.
And also, be mean! Live a little! Be like me and @daniellwtf , certified haters

Maybe I can be a little mean... as a treat Being a certified hater is hard work, after all lmao And it's getting harder and harder not to be one considering the state of IF these days...

Exactly! Hell, I'd even go so far as to say that it's healthy!
So by all means my friend, hate away

I followed but never played the original and unfollowed when the author said their story would take 30 years to write. I hope it isn't ableist to do that. It has nothing to do with them having a disability but instead realizing that their story isn't worth waiting that long for.

I'm also wondering what people think is AI writing when it is based off of human writing. Em dashes and rules of three are popular ways to write among writers. The only things I see as proof of AI are when prompts are left in, an author has an abrupt change in writing style and quality, and or there are sentences appear fine but when you actually pay close attention you realize those words don't really work together like that and or all of the above.

i had to go nd read a bit of that IF by myself so I can understand why the writing is seen as AI. nd i think i kinda get it .
it's not for the em dashes because as u said those aren't any indicative. but the issue doesn't lie in their frequency rather than how they're used. the story reads strangely, there's no feeling to it nd i don't want to seem crazy although the writing itself is fine.
I believe it's the repetition of "it's the kind of thing etc etc" , or how those em dashes are used to emphasize smt that doesn't need emphasis. there's a lot of expressions that are just there to make unnecessary comparisons that go "it's not this but rather that nd so on nd so forth" . the story gives me an odd feeling. it reads like an uncanny valley in a way. although no offense

Yeah, and ive read the previous demo and it was absolutely different. This one is just off. Wordy for the sake of being wordy.
Also my shameful but extensive experience with things like janitor.ai SCREAMS ai writing. I stopped using those partly because the writing is so soulless and hollow.

After reading the first few pages it did seems a little bland. The word count for just the first chapter is a bit much as well. If the game is based off of those reality tv shows then there wouldn't be all that much substance to work off of where the first chapter would be almost 500k words. Not outright saying its AI as we have no proof and writers get really angry if you say something is AI based off of feelings. I just cannot get over that word count.

Edit: Also lmao to people admitting they know this because they read character AI bots. Thats a self read.

I don’t know enough about AI to say whether it is or not, but it really gives me the vibe of something trying way to sound super philosophical and deep about stuff that doesn’t even need to be that deep

Idk, but for me, I think when the text looks way too "clean", for the lack of a better word. Or how it just reads strangely, and has no soul in it. I understand that not everyone can capture it, but something seems off when reading ai stuff.
Just how it is with that newer hero wip. You read those sentences, and those just read strange, and I have yet to see anyone write like that. What heroes leave behind is the one I'm talking about btw
