It really irks me when people share their 300, 600, 1000 day Duolingo streaks but still don't know how to use Japanese. Here's an explanation for why apps like Duolingo don't work for learning to any fluency.

only the people that know firsthand who the character in my profile pic is will understand how insanely obsessed i got with the Knights of Guinevere pilot and even a hint of news about the next installment is making me vibrate out of my skin

personally disappointed in people talking about ZSNES like it's not just a program you can install and run today. It's not ancient history, and even if it was, you could emulate it.
also, why the blurry static JPEG? GIVE ME ANIMATED SNOW.

the strongest argument for struggling through learning something or solving an unsolved problem when it stops being fun is that the process itself is generative not always of a result but of new methods and concepts. this is also why doing this collaboratively furthers it
This is great. I try to teach this idea in a class to varying success. It is so important but often hard for new writers to grasp (and all of us to remember.) Get the behavior right and the rest will follow.
“Tony [Gilroy] finally turned to me, and he said, ‘Hey, you just got to stop pitching plot. Plot is bullshit. Plot is what happens when you get the behavior right. Pitch me a line of dialogue, pitch me atmosphere, pitch me something visual. Stop pitching stuff that happens.’” 1/2
