    Usually I try to go for a poison deck because I find that a lot more fun but it’s also harder to pull off.

    I understand the fun of trying to go for a specific archetype in the game, but the best strategy to win is to roll with the cards that the game offers you. Aka, don't try to force a certain build and adapt based on the cards, relics and encounters you find on your way.

    Doesn't mean I try to do the exact same thing as well, though.

    I've been trying to re-learn my old custom tap-dance choreography for The Book of Mormon's Turn It Off (Not exactly this example, but my own adaptation) on days where I still have the energy to dance after work. Old muscle memory is doing a lot of work, but of course some more precise movements still need improvement. Also, I really need to improve my cardio as the performance goes from singing at the top of my lungs, to a dance repertoire, to going back to singing afterward. Any other tap-dancers on Tildes? I'd love to chat.

    Additionally, last summer I wrote a play for my amateur theater group. I did so in my last summer break before getting a job, so I had pretty much full-time to churn it out in the span of a mere couple of months. What also helped, though, is that I was massively, passionately inspired to write that particular play, making me easily the most productive I have ever been creatively in my whole life. The play turned out to be a great success.

    What I have been working on lately though is finding ideas for a new play to write. My biggest problem though is that a similar level of passionate inspiration hasn't sparked within me ever since, on any creative project I have worked on. I was wondering if anybody on Tildes recognizes what I am talking about, and could maybe share tips to find that spark again, or perhaps how to write a play without it.

    I'd posit that Tildes will remain a safe haven as long as there is no money to be made by interacting in the manner as described by the quote. Even if Tildes would open up the floodgates to freely create accounts today, the obscurity of the site and small userbase would barely be worth the opportunity cost of botting comments as opposed to doing so on a bigger site like Reddit, let alone individual users trying to monetize their 'influencer account on Tildes'.

    Hello, also a longtime Reddit (is Fun) user here. I concur, I'm using the mobile site as we speak and it's really surprisingly well-made, which is a rarity in today's modern mobile website landscape which are engineered to be as shitty as possible to make you download the app (ahem Reddit ahem, but also... The vast majority of the Internet nowadays).

    Nice to be invited to Tildes. And now to break the muscle memory of opening the Reddit app from my home screen.
