Works well to a point, yep.

not too far, yeah

But I think you have the basics laid out okay, it's getting into the details that'll take the most work.

definitely

would you mind sending me one of your novels? grand scale sci fi sounds interestering

I'm still working on the first full novel. I ran with short stories up until now.

oh ok

I tried and failed with the first draft

70 pages of crap

now I'm completely restarting

basically the same core concept

You'll always be rewriting first drafts.

but other than the rogue planet everything is different

yeah

If you reach a point where you decide to change everything, don't be afraid to keep the parts you like and rewrite around them.

good idea

Niven and Pournelle literally rewrote an entire chunk of The Mote In God's Eye for one kickass line.

thanks for all the help. Mind if I send you the draft in a few weeks?

wont be done

just the first part

Also, Larry Niven's "Known Space" stuff is a good way to get a handle on introing worlds and races easily.

Sure!

thanks

Soo I made a rating list of every single pixar movie Ive watched. Feel free to disagree, as this is only my opinion.

Onwards
6/10
a decent fantasy family film. Kinda forgot a lot of the movie tho.
Coco
9/10
Enjoy the music in the middle, and cry like a baby in the end
Incredibles 2
6/10
I mean.. its average, but it doesnt live up the original in any way.
Cars 3
7/10
a satisfying conclusion. Some of its kinda forgettable tho.
Finding dory
5/10
the most "meh" pixar film imo.
Inside Out
8/10
super creative, super whimsical, I love it. Also like coco, you might cry towards the end.
The good dinosaur
3/10
beautiful background, but it doesnt mix well with the toilet swirl cartoony dinosaurs and the forgettable, poopy plot.
Cars 2
3/10
I wish this never existed. Or at least was better.
Monsters University
7/10
honestly I mostly like this film because of the nostalgia so Ill give it extra points for that. Everything else about it is just decent I guess
WALL-E
9/10
When a movie is nostalgic and almost a masterpiece at the same time.
Brave
1/10
no no no no no no no no NO
UP
8/10
beautiful beginning, its all pretty great.
Ratatouille
9/10
plot is pretty good, this film makes an amazing testament, also it makes me really hungry.
The Incredibles
10/10
amazing super hero film and amazing family film all in 1. The relationship between mr incredible and mr incredible is "incredibly" realistic its almost scary sometimes.
Cars
6/10
mm nostalgia mmm
Toy Story 3
9/10
MMMMMM NOSTALGIA MMMMMMMM also its a great movie in general. Tbh the villain deserved death.
Toy Story 2
8/10
sorta boring in some parts, but more nostalgia, some great humor, and an all around great movie.
Toy Story 1
9/10
The grandfather of CGI films.
A bugs life
5/10
The scene where they build a bird is cool I guess, but just a meh movie tbh

I've only seen seven of these.

which ones @DishonoredRonin ?

I suggest watching any movie that I gave an 8/10+

Monsters University, The Incredibles, WALL-E, Up, Ratatouille, Toy Story, and A Bugs Life.

Wtf that's a long list

I didn't like Toy Story, so no sequels for me, and The Incredibles 2 is an epileptic's nightmare. LOL

Not sure if this is the right place for this, are we aloud to ask for TV show (anime) recommendations here? Could’ve sworn there was a “Weeb” channel or something.

Allowed*

Weebs got nuked, but ask away.

Based on this list, was curious if anyone had any recommendations on what I should watch next.

I'm a big fan of Cowboy Bebop and Full Metal Alchemist. Both are solid.

@DishonoredRonin sorry I guess I should have been more clear. These are the anime’s I have seen and enjoyed. I’ve tried man anime’s besides this list but didn’t really make it very far in before giving up

Ah. LOL

Okay, Trigun is good. Sort of like Bebop, but different.

@DishonoredRonin Trigun? How old are you? You must have been born late 80s or early 90s 😂

I predate the internet. And PCs.
