What's up with the damn profanity?

author=BurningTyger
It's not supposed to be quality dialogue. The character asked is the Dumb Muscle of the party.


Just because the character is stupid doesn't mean the writer has to be.

What's up with the damn profanity?

Tl;dr I'm a good writer but not a good game maker- yet- but I've been known to swear quite profusely... I DO agree that swear words aren't very effective adjectives but they're quite effective interjections. Sometimes the only way to express your feeling is with a good old-fashioned expletive.
And speech in general- as well as, sometimes, swearing- can be used to show changes in mood and behavior. Don't forget that character's public and private faces may be quite different, . Other things can have an effect too:

Prince Leon: Please, Father, I humbly entreat you to let me join the festivities

(Later, much later, at the party:) What the **** do you want? Can't you see I'm talking to a girl here?
Soldier: That's enough ale for you, Your Highness. . .


okay but I thought you said you were a good writer.

Personally a curse word every now and then can be a good thing when dialogue becomes stale. Could you imagine playing a Shakespherian RPG without having something modern thrown in to wake you up from all the 'thee's', 'thou's', and 'thine's'?
"shakespherian rpg" is this some kind of new wave joke i dont get
Somewhat. New Wave though I don't know--what I meant was the games that have poetic dialogue can get stuffy so a little 'sprinkling' of curse words here and there would break it up. Unless of course the script just wows it's audience.


okay. I don't really like the "shakespearian" modifier (sphere pun aside) as a lot shakespeare's works were, uh, rather dirty (good king of cats!) and if someone could emulate them well I would be pissed if they just threw in the word fuck. that said, if you really need to throw curse words into your poetry so people don't get bored, you should stop trying to make something poetic.

post your picture

i wish I had my pictures of me dragged out. gonna have to pester that photogirl lady.
but fine Creation I will do the thing you ask. this picture was taken after around five days of partying, subsisting on booze, and not sleeping. you might say this was "big mistake." also nobody who took photos from the concerts has uploaded anything..wh.y..if you can recognize the band on this t-shirt though you are a cool guy

If you throw away the apple core you are throwing out 25% of the apple. Eat the core. It's not going to kill you. It's good for you. It's apple. The seeds are also apple. Eat the seeds.


thank you. people are always like "You eat the core??" and i'm like "this is literally the united states of america."
