Me in 2015: Lmao Donald Trump is running for president what a joke

Me on election day:

This is somewhat valid but you do realize that a competitive smash player would still crush a casual player 9 games out of 10 even with items and stage hazards on. Like they are obviously good at the game, they just prefer to play without the rng elements included. Especially if you’re playing for money keeping items on just doesn’t seem as valid due to the randomness it introduces.

Like yes the default is “party” mode but it’s not like they hacked the game to remove items. Item switch has been a built in feature in every game so it seems like a stretch to say they are playing against the designers intentions by using it. 

The overwatch comparison isn’t really the same because that is a part of the characters kit. It’s not based on an uncontrollable factor. Items on would be more like playing football where the padding is randomly tossed onto the field and if it drops near you nice if not sucks to suck. It would certainly make for an entertaining game but as a competitive sport I don’t think it would hold up as well.

Me: I love Smash! It’s such a fun PARTY game! :)

Competitive Smash Player Still Using a Gamecube Controller in 2018:

[OC] I laid out what a 5’ by 5’ square was in real life to help my players get some perspective on just how big each map square is. 

DM after failed stealth roll: Hmm… You try to sneak around but you’re dummy thicc and the clap from your ass cheeks alerts the guards. Roll for initiative.

There seems to be this widely perceived notion that authors agree with everything they have their main protagonist say and do. I was just wondering if you knew where how this came about, seeing as you and hazel grace are so obviously the same exact person.

Well, authors invite this—or at least authors like me do, by putting so much of our personal selves online and engaging in conversations outside stories, so it’s a little unfair to be like, “Follow me on tumblr and twitter and youtube and instagram, but NEVER TRY TO FIND MY INSIDE MY NOVELS.” As a reader, I find it impossible to ignore the author when they’re someone I know, whether online or off.

Also, we live in a quote culture: We see quotes all day across the Internet, and those quotes almost never come with real context. Like, the protagonist of Katherines says, “What’s the point of being alive if you don’t at least try to do something remarkable?” Now, I don’t think that’s a problematic approach to life, and I hope during the course of the novel Colin comes around to the idea that there’s great meaning and joy in the so-called unremarkable life. (As if anything on this planet overflowing with life is unremarkable.) But as I get older, I find myself less and less annoyed about the inevitable decontextualization that accompanies quotation. If people find something useful, okay. 

It’s so very hard to separate yourself as a person from your work, no matter what kind of work you do. (e.g.: As a high school student, I was disengaged and sloppy with occasional moments of promise, which to me meant that as a person I was disengaged and sloppy with moments of promise. But really, who you are in your job or education is not exactly who you are.) But I am not my work. It is up to other people, if they are so kind as to read and watch the stuff I make, to judge its quality and/or usefulness. The core things I am—a husband, a father, a brother, a son, a nerdfighter, a friend, etc.—are not dependent on my books being any good. Thank God for that.

I don’t think I answered your question. Sorry. The only answer I have to your question is that I believe books belong to their readers.
