One of the advantages of something like an Alphasmart is that it's got no internet and it's really, really hard to edit on. You'd be surprised how much work you can get done on a device that you can't second-guess and delete something on or distract yourself by alt-tabbing to Chrome every 30 seconds. They definitely have a use case for writers. 99.9% of people will do just fine with a laptop, or a cheap Chinese tablet with a decent Bluetooth keyboard, though.

Jedit posted:The really amusing thing is that George RR Martin has done both. He started writing on a dumb terminal with WordPerfect when that was cutting edge, and 20+ years later he refuses to switch to anything modern. A lot of it has to do with the idea of 'flow' - writing's really a momentum-based activity. Once you find a system that works and lets you build up speed and thrust in, then that's really what you should stick to. So I can totally understand sticking with something that lets you get into that state easily, even if it's vastly outdated. The problem is everyone else seeing them use these outdated systems, and romanticise them without realising why the writer is using it.

What bugs the poo poo out of me is that he lists an existing, real life location where this cafe is supposed to be located and it has absolutely no similarity the 'concept art' for the anime'd location. He's had it drawn as it if was on a corner across the road from the beach, the real location he listed for it is 4 blocks in from the beach in the middle of the street. Unless there's a strong global warming message in this, how can you gently caress that up? You literally just Google Maps it.

The Super Noah Ark 3D Whatever Who Gives A poo poo is on Steam because there's a dude doing a modern Wolfenstein 3D engine called ECWolf and if you make Wolf3D work, you get the Noah game for free as it's a very simple port. He reached an arrangement to sell it on Steam and split the profits with Wisdom Tree, with his half going to paying for future development of ECWolf to support other Wolf3D-engine games in the future. It's basically an on-the-nose fundraiser / donation system hosted on Steam.
