Shotgun applications to everyone in the field you want to go into, you might end up with your dream job, and know you can find something else should you not like the job you’re in, but give it a fair shot before you decide to jump ship.
My only complaint is that it’s way too short of a campaign. It’s very easy to beat over a few hours, but it’s fun the whole way through and I just want more.

I hate that this is where I’m at in life too. Hell, at least the mushroom cloud would be a quick death if you’re close enough! Better than dying in the Water Wars or Mother Nature saying we fucked up.

And it’s not like we haven’t let towns die before. There’s so many along railroads in the middle of nowhere that just stopped existing because people didn’t need to take trains everywhere anymore.
Usually when someone is venting at me, I feel like I should respond somehow and say something, but I have no idea what that something could/should be. Is it better to just listen or try to comfort them in some way?
I’ve had this happen quite a few times to me, and I’ve come to the best question for this.
“Do you want to just vent or would you like advice?”
Some people just need to get it off their chest and talk to something, IT professionals call this The Rubber Duck Effect, helps them work through the problem by explaining it to someone else. Asking if they’d like advice or just vent lets you know what kinds of questions to ask. You do still need to be listening but hopefully this helps!
You’ll have to ask them yourself. We’re not looking to spam the subreddit with ads for this place though, just be a potential landing site for if Reddit crumbles and authors are looking for a centralized home to post to.
Or, write your own! Best part about being part of something new like this is you can add your own stories and have them almost guaranteed to be read.
Honestly, if we can somehow make a bot for that and have it working early, I don’t see why we couldn’t. Make it a poll that closes after 24/48 hours that then autosorts them into the genre in a wiki of some variety.
I’m all for it, but I’m not even remotely proficient at that stuff though so someone smarter than I would need to figure out that problem.
Edit: just remembered I was part of the mod team at that time. We were talking about 10s of thousands of posts, a lot of which were archived, that we would need to go back through and we didn’t have the manpower for something like that. If we do it from the get go it should work fairly well.
Any and all genres are welcome! I, for one, was always craving more fantasy content over there, but they have a very sci-fi lean because of their origins so it was usually difficult to find.

When someone is venting, am I supposed to say something?
Usually when someone is venting at me, I feel like I should respond somehow and say something, but I have no idea what that something could/should be. Is it better to just listen or try to comfort them in some way?
