Trevor dropping a frickin nvke
So why don't you read? It's great.
He's not wrong
>>745395839>Shut the fuck up>Fuck that bookShawn Fonteno is the one spittin truth faggot
This faggy actor just completely devastating all these terminally online consoomer retards with one mild comment has been very funny.
Could be worse, he could be Ed O'Neill. If I were offered a million dollars but everybody is going to call me "Al Bundy" for the rest of my life, I wouldn't accept it. Imagine everywhere you go people calling you Al Bundy and quoting Married With Children references at you, everyday for the rest of your life.
When is Dostoyevsky writing a sequel, I don't touch things that didn't warrant a sequel first.
>>745396065>Ed O'Neill has an estimated net worth of $45 million to $65 million. His multi-decade wealth comes primarily from his iconic television starring roles as Al Bundy on Married... with Children and Jay Pritchett on Modern Family, bolstered by lucrative syndication residuals and real estate holdings.I honestly wouldnt have a problem with it, Al Bundy is a cool as fuck personality to be remembered by and Ed seems likes he is cool with it
let me guess, he's sour because he didn't get his 'fair' share from the profits of GTA 5
Dostoyevsky is teenager literature.
>>745395839>dooood muh heckin dostojevksij >muh heckin russerinooosif he is going to LARP as a pseud the least he could do is pretend to have read beyond literally the most popular authors of all time. its like philosophy enthusiasts telling people to read nietszche
>>745396082goy
>>745395839what a fuckin pseud lmfao
>>745396175Probably.Like all these literal whos that get a contract and then have bitter resentment that they coudn't negotiate royalties. Since they are nobodies before rockstar blows them up they don't really have any power. One of the nigs from San Andreas tryied to sue them to get more money, that shit was funny.
>>745395948You should read for the same reason you play Vidya; enjoyment. If you don't get any meaning from reading then don't read for recreation, it's that simple.
>>745396082a sequel to whathe wrote like 4 books or something but I don't think any were sequels
>>745396512whatever the unc was yapping about, if it had a sequel you'd also remember it
I get what he's saying. He doesn't play games. It just comes out fucked up and pretentious because he's a Canadian.
>>745395839everyone knows you can either play gta5 or read a popular book! not both! never both!
>>745395839This guy has only read one book in his entire life.
Hes probably a massive gamer but is embarrassed to let anyone else know.
>>745396872>picwhat causes this, single mothers?
Kill performative narcissistic douchebags. And nuke twitter/tiktok servers.
>>745395839If he doesn't give a fuck, why is he STILL showing up to these GAMING EVENTS, huh??
>>745396650How can you miss the point so hard?
>>745395839>hey you should play the game you helped in the creation of>I'm not going to because you've not read this old book neither of us had a hand in writingWhat the fuck is even his point?
>>745395839HAHAHA based! I love how this chad makes you autistic man babies seethe.
>>745396957Cause they pay him to and he can't get any other roles lmao.
>>745395839Pretentious pseud and failed actor
>>745396554I never read his books I only know they're vaguely about the soviet gulags and how jews fucked over russia
>>745395839Just tell the dude that you enjoyed his performance in GTA 5 and he will thank you. The dude is an actor and an avid reader, not a gamer. I can imagine how tired he is telling low IQ browncel after low IQ browncel that gaming is just not his thing.
>>745397267>Just tell the dude that you enjoyed his performance in GTA 5Sorry, I don't want to lie.
>>745397267They maybe he should stop coming to gaming conventions and humbly reject the paycheck and read a book instead.You can't blame people for his actions.
>>745396510How do you not get any meaning from reading? You are on a site right now reading this post.
>>745397214>dostoevsky was writing about.... le gulagsmost historically literate anticommunist
>>745397362I'm not saying that I personally do not, but I know people who do not get any enjoyment from reading books because they find the process very lonely.
>>745397267Do you suppose people would flip their shit if this chick wasn't le ebin gamer, either?
>>745397267>not a gamer>goes to gaming events>gets upset about being asked gamer stuffMaybe a book club would be more his speed
>>745397267Well maybe he should be known for more than playing a role in a video game 15 years ago. Dude goes to convention to meet fans, what does he think they're gonna be fans of? His books? does he even write? no one knows
>>745396395shouldn't people read Nietzsche? what would it mean for the world if everyone did?
>>745397473>looks much better in game than irlDamn, she looks like a gigastacy that just sucked off 5 dudes in the public urinal while being an autistic cutie in re9
>Spend several episodes in hugely popular TV series>Only remembered as a dude in GTA.
>>745397603Never watched it, sorry. I'm more into games.
>>745396065It's not like he didn't love the role. Maybe if he were in more stuff, I'd recognize him as that too. At least Katey went on to do more fun roles like Leela and Kureha.
>>745397441>So needy that they can't read a book by themselvesThey sound insufferable to be around
>>745395948I literally do, this guy is just pissed off that the thing he will forever be known for is something he doesn't like.
>>745395839>play GTA V>FUCK NO I don't play VIDEOGAMES! Read book instead!!>aight maybe I will, sounds fun, now are you gonna play the videogame>uh erm.. uh.. no?Faggot acting as if you can only ever enjoy one bit of media
>>745397267>tells the truth>browns and manbabies seetheA tale as old as time.
>>745397637
>>745397673No they're fun to be around. Not everything has to be about what you or your friends do. It's enough that someone has a pleasant personality.
>>745397603Simon in the walking dead is basically a more mean, less silly, version of trevor and he was killed by negan who was much more the focus of the show at the time and still largely is. Steve Ogg also was in westworld and his role again was some discount mean spirited lesser trevor. Dude has a number of acting credits to his name but besides his short VHS segment I can't really recall seeing many of them that were some fom of trevor lite. Maybe it sucks to be typecast but a job is a job and he seems okay at being various versions of trevor
>>745395839>At a fucking gaming convention of all places ranting like a lunatic about how he hates games and gaming related questions and goes off on a tangent about why people dont read more 18th century Russian novelsWhat a pretentious ass
>>745398423Thats what makes it based
>>745398178Dont forget Better Call Saul Trevor
>>745397603>TV serieswould rather read a book
>>745396065Sounds like he's living the dream.
>>745398178Yeah. I suppose that's true. Never really seen him anything where he wasn't being a total dick or performing another version of Trevor.
>>745398518Would be if it was some sort of act but dude is 100% seriousIts fucking sad really, obviously he really wants to be seen as some fucking deeply intellectual auteur and instead he has been pigeonholed into this typecast that he despises and haunts his existence and yet has to rely on it for survival
>>745395839why is he treating it like it's some niche literature when it's just average high school required reading?
>>745398696Dude goes to gayming conventions and tells gaymers they are losers and should read books when he's mostly known for starring in gayming, if thats not based i dont know what is
>>745398741Came here to say this. Such a basic pick. I've read it and I'm not exactly a bookworm. I even saw the movie afterwards. I guess his point is to go straight to the top shelf.
Thos guy is even more insufferable about book than Steve-o is about sobriety.>You should play a game it's pretty good>YEAH WELL YOU SHOULD READ A BOOK>AND HE WENT COMPLETELY BLANK BRO
>>745395839Broooooo xdxd y trevor wildin tho?
>>745395839He's right though unironically. Dostoyevskiy's books are great. But if you really think about them they'll make you depressed as fuck, life is already too dark as it is.
>>745400110Would be funny as fuck if it turns out he was hopelessly addicted to WoW or some gacha shit in the past.
>>745395839>one of the most basic and accessible worksI hate Pseudos so much
>>745397267The VA for Yennefer has the same thing. She's keeps getting approached by Witcher fans, but she's totally uninterested in the game.
>>745398608>would rather read a booksorry not a reader, would rather write a book
>>745397603The Walking Dead is one of the few TV shows I watched. It turned to complete shit after season 4, because the writers ran out of ideas, but he was one of the highlights. They should have given him more screen time and made him a regular.
>>745395839>the person telling him to play grand theft auto is blackTelling.
>>745395839Lol reading
>>745395839Crime and punishment is always like the first book Amazon suggests if you add any classic book to your cart lmao
>>745395839Imagine seriously believing GTA 5 is a "great game." That and RDR2 are still some of the worst games I've ever played
>>745395839Crime and Punishment is overrated as fuck btw but in comparison to a retarded normie game like GTA yes. You should do that instead.
>>745404208go use your dilator, low iq lonely trooncel
>>745397267>>745397743copeits all whitecels (antisocial trannies and chuds)
>>745404252>trannies>reading>trannies>liking breivikwhat
>>745395839So reading and playing games are mutually exclusive? He sounds like one of those dweebs whos afraid to have any interests besides what he perceives what women wouldnt instantly dry up from. Even to the point of talking about obscure sects like authors who have a grand total of 60 sales. He speaks like a 22 year old virgin that sits at the back of class in community college. Hes a poser and probably a secret cuckhold.
>>745395948I barely enjoy vidya anymore and you tell me to read?
>are you excited to CONSUME PRODUCT?>no, are you excited to CONSUME OTHER PRODUCT?
>>745396065He was also in modern family, which got a lot bigger. Even the show being fag propaganda its better and actually funny.
>>745404307you are from the tranny, misanthrope ethnicty
>>745395839Why do midwit always read one "notable" book and then keep talking about it for the rest of their lives?I've never read a book that left a lasting impression on me, where as movies and games do it all of the time.Maybe if he mentioned a literal-who writer's book instead of someone extremely known, then maybe I'd take him more seriously, but it's always"I read books. You should read books. A book like *insert one of the most "intellectual approved writer or book ever"It just comes off as so pretentious that I can't get over it.Does this guy ever actually quote books he is reading, show off his bookshelf or even discuss anything book related online other than telling people he "prefers books"
>>745406327
>>745395839What a pretentious ass kek
>>745395948I’m retard
>>745396065People nowadays only know this guy from Modern family and his hot fucking latina wife.
>>745396065Is that why he wasn't in that Futurama episode?
>>745396065>be rich millionaire>have illustrious career >be a household name>so recognizable people happily call out to you for quick words or autographs>this is the worst thing thats ever happened to me>don't financially support me>actually just end my career right herei DESPISE these people you ungrateful pieces of shit millions upon millions of people would literally kill to have what you have and these fucking pricks just flush it down the toilet, you get generational wealth and a lifelong fanbase who would follow your career until you died and you hate them, i have nothing but the most disdain humanely possible for people like this they absolutely did not deserve fame.
>>745406327Citing one of the most famous works of one of the most famous "highbrow" authors is a pretty apt analogy to someone citing GTA V, though. They're both extremely widely known but also very surface level for anyone interested in either medium.
>>745406793Yeah but the point is he acted a role in the game, people just want him to experience the game as if having an actor watch a movie they played in.Him always rejecting it comes off as self-loathing or fan disrespecting.
>>745395839He always sounds like the type of person that loves to pretend that he reads but actually doesn't. I have played hundreds of games and read hundreds of books, i can safely say videogames are possibly the best medium that you can use to tell a story. The only problem is the fact that it's yet still a severely understimated and overlooked tool by fuckass boomers such as him unfortunately. Also Crime and Punishment is the go to normie tier bullshit that people like to throw around to look like pseuds, it's very obvious he's a fraud.
>>745407809its always the same 2 books with these people infinite jest or crime and punishment every single time.
>>745403075
>>745408308Tate got a point in this edit
>>745408673The Oxfordians had him locked up for daring to mock them - sad!
>>745396065Only boomers know him for Al Bundy normies know him as the wholesome old guy in the show about faggots
>>745398518It’s not based it’s sad and pathetic this theater kid is seething knowing that he’ll die with a video game he hates being his only claim to fame, it’s based to be Ned Luke and be chill with it
>>745408308>entire schtick is alpha male trad chad putting bitches back in the kitchen where they belong>wears the most stereotypically flaming gay homoshit outfits imaginableI don't get it.
>>745409864I get it. He's just a modern day snake oil salesman.
>>745409864It's called sexcore. And yes, you do need to be an alpha chad to wear skinny trousers and shirts in the first place. A fat manlet would be too insecure for either.
>>745409864women get tricked by dudes that look faggy all the time lol the key is to look flamboyant but not like a huge flaming faggot that pulls in hella women, women worship faggots this >>745409909
Whoa such a big galaxy sized brain. Did you read CRIME AND PUNISHMENT there big guy? No wonder the guy stood there blank faced, he realized he just ran into a midwit that struck it rich.
>>745410076yeah, he is a fucking poser, crime and punishment is entry level pseud at most>story abobut a faggot that gets away with killing>he is such a fag that got away with it he feels guilty bout itoh noes!!!Les Miserables is miles miles better and its not even close holy shit
>>745409864A lot of those "alphamale how to bed women" guys are strangely faggy. There's another one who was fairly well known a few years ago, I can't remember his name but he wrote entire books about it, and then people found videos of him shoving dildos in his ass and talking about how much he loves letting his girlfriend get fucked by other men.
>>745409864If you haven't figured it out, every single "masculinity influencer" spouting gay shit about cars, money, yachts, competition or business is just a satanic world-loving puppet who likely sold their soul to get where they are - or worse
>>745410284It's an interesting read at the very least but really dry, though it makes people look pretentious as fuck like that Roger Ebert guy.
>>745396065pretty sure younger generations and most people now know him from modern family
>>745409864Go back and look at rock bands from the 60s to the 80s (even into the 90s) they were some of the most flamboyant faggy dressed men out there yet they had entire lines of women waiting for the chance to fuck them afterward.
>>745406397Men love jargon.It is so palpable, tangible, visible, audible; it makes so obvious what one has learned.It satisfies the craving for results.It is impressive for the uninitiated.It makes one feel that one belongs.Jargon divides men into Us and Them.
>all these games are made by old office boomers that never play videogamesthis explains why the industry gets about two good game ideas every year and all the "tried it before" shit gets $300 million per title
>>745410441Every character in Crime and Punishment gets mogged by Inspector Javert from Les Miserables thats a good ass character
>>745410489True thats what faggot Marxists do. They talk in their own leftist terms I understand them because I was a leftfag not anymore but I'm pretty sure I can infiltrate their circles easily because I have read the same shit they have if not more.
>>745409864You have to ask yourself: what made these guys get into that line of work in the first place? What made them feel the need to espouse such ideas?No man needs to go out of his way to remind himself and the entire world at every opportunity how much of a real man gigachad x10000 he is unless he's extremely insecure with himself and his identity.
>>745395839Who the fuck cares what the washed out actors of GTA 5 think? GTA 6 is going to be overhyped trash and GTA 5 sucked balls
i never really understand these actors and vas who just do not even remotely try to care about the roles that made them famous. i know they just want a job and you dont have to be a gamer to do it but when you keep meeting fans of your work and they all genuinely enjoy it then would it really kill you to actually check out the work, even just a little bit, so you can understand and engage with them better?
>>745395839What is that guy said “yeah I read it years ago” what would Og have said?His whole gotcha hinged on the fact this guy didn’t read one of the most famous pieces of literature
>>745410476Well yeah if you're rich, influential, and powerful women will line up to fuck you no matter what you look like. Just look at how many old ass wrinkly gray haired corpos have girlfriends/wives that are a third of their age.
>>745395839Dostoevski's lack of taste, his monotonous dealings with persons suffering with pre-Freudian complexes, the way he has of wallowing in the tragic misadventures of human dignity... all this is difficult to admire. I do not like this trick his characters have of "sinning their way to Jesus" or, as a Russian author Ivan Bunin put it more bluntly, "spilling Jesus all over the place.”
>>745411376christian morality is for faggots and marxism is unironically that behavior but corrupted even further so it possesses atheists into getting into a cult of equality
>>745395839GAMERS UTTERLY AND BRUTALLY BTFO
>>745396065Al Bundy can kick your ass.
>>745396082His books are like cable tv soap operas. Just because it was written buy a Russian dude in the 1900s doesn't make it art.
>>745403075So basically he's a brainrotted ADHD tard who needs to have keys rattled in front of his face constantly
>>745396065It could've been worse.
>>745411609on the ground maybe, stand up no. I know jiu jitsu and judo but very little. I done more muay thai than anything else through my life. Pretty sure I can KO him with a surprise knee to his face if he doesnt catch me on the air.
>>745395971He is though. Context matters. He's famous for one thing and one thing only. Nobody wants his opinion on literature. Nobody. They want his opinion on the only thing he is known for. Being in a shitty video game and the shitty video game industry. I've never met a single person in real life that didn't drop classic literature in a convo that wasn't a complete asshat.

>>745397441That's because most normalfags can't be alone with their thoughts for 20 seconds because otherwise they'd blow their brains out after years of shoving their emotions down with social media. Hence why they think it's lonely and have to constantly be with someone.

>>745419074On the off chance I saw his cut interview. David foster wallace predicted this and it blew me the fuck away as he was talking about how people don't like silence and quiet. Giving the example of restaurants and venues constantly playing music in the background and never allowing noiselessness. I have no idea how much this is or has fucked up the American psyche but I feel like there's going to be a have and have nots in terms of mental capability and harmony in the future that will become invaluable

>>745412750>>745413089If you get an expensive car at least get former racing cars like GT3s or old GT1s and drive them around historical races and track days. You get to use it to its full extent and have fun.
>>745421781I have no "good" book recommendations, only mountains of sci-fi and fantasy genre trash that I personally enjoy.Dune is pretty close to actually literature though. Maybe some Asimov.
While you babies were heisting in GTA 5 and shoving shark cards up your arse I was out here reading Hatchet: Winter
Isn't it interesting how media quality eroded in several places all at once, due to hiring and education difficulty preventing people from reaching qualitie standards upheld for centuries, all just in the manner of a few decades after WW2?
>>745397267I mean, I kind of get it. It'd be like a movie star not watching the movie they're in. Don't you want to know how the end product came out so you can see how you can improve for your next role?
>>745421781The Tao of Pooh
>>745422371Is that alt version of the story where he didn't get rescued and had to survive through the winter too? Never read that one but it's been literal decades since I read the first book at this point either so I'm not sure I would appreciate it anyway. Very iconic young adult boy's novel growing up though.
>>745422891It was always my favourite of the seriesHatchet along with Artemis Fowl were the books of my formative years. I also loved those war/special forces books by Jim Eldridge, I guess he was sorta like Tom Clancy for the younger crowdLibrary days at school were always fun, looking back
>>745396512The Brothers Karamazov was supposed to have a sequel that was never written.
They always give examples from Dostoevsky but he has like 2 good books.
He sounds pretentious but he's right, a lot of games praised for their story are a joke compared to a book.
I should really get back into writing stories

It's like I have to force myself to do it.And honestly the books aren't even that good, they start out weak.

I got Oggsyboy to sign my copy of Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time and he tousled my hair, chuckled, and sent me on my way. He was proud to get someone into reading. I'd hazard a guess that he felt richer than any billionaire around, getting a young buck like me to explore literature and stories beyond the beep boops of Gaming. It was so nice to share that little moment with him.

I think really he just doesn't care and he says it a lot but I mean come on! throw in a "I am sure you will love it though, my work on the last one was obviously beloved and I am sure you will love gta 6!" You know? something positive. As for his book selection, The Wealth of Nations is more relevant that what he said. Just quoting some fucking Russian guy I have might of heard of to be contrarian (perhaps he is being contrarian, i think he is just saying the same shit he says about not being a gamer) isn't going to cut it if he is trying to sound smart/genius. "Crime and Punishment?" who cares.

You just know this faggot has a bookshelf as the background for his webcam and he's never read a single one of them. I would pay good money for one of these guys to ask him basic questions about Crime and Punishment on the spot and watch him stumble because you know he's never finished it and probably never opened it. This type of person's hobby isn't reading, it's bragging about reading because reading, like chess and classical music, is the dumb person's cliche of what a smart person does.

>>745430630...admittedly, i've seen kafka's metamorphosis as a standalone occasionally (although i feel that it's likely an exception, considering it's probably the most popular short story of our time)
>>745430301You're damn right
>>745430703Niggers taking phone screenshots of images instead of saving the image itself. Done enough times in a row, the artifacting gives it a 'deep-fried' look.
>>745430630I have here um... Fences by August Wilson, and Too Loud a Solitude and um... Candide, a novella by Voltaire and um.. Record of a Night too Brief by Hiromi Kawakami and um, some others here.
>>745430476in this context its more likely to be boomer tech illiteracy that caused it
>>745430390I still prefer reading physical books. Maybe it's because I'm retarded but I find it much easier to pay attention that way.
>>745430812Novellas aren't short stories. Short stories are up to ~7,000 words while a novel is at least ten times that, and a novella is roughly in-between.

>>745431125>>745431125>yes, this is what modern people consider reading: genre slop and porn and tiktok memes. when foids tell you they "read" they don't mean 18th century lit.I always said that reading is not the classy hobby people make it out to be when they bring it up because people don't often think about how wide a net "reading" really is. When someone who doesn't read often pictures someone that does, they probably picture some fancy man in a robe reading in a private library or something, but the reality of reading is closer to a fat skank reading orc erotica than it is to the fancy man.

>>745421781One fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish
>>745431487There used to be a guy who would post McCarthy excerpts in /lit/'s writing generals for critique and people tore them apart until they realized what they were. Then he did it again and they praised it but it turned out to be an excerpt of Fallout 3 fanfiction kek. This is the nature of snobs and pseuds: they don't like writing for itself, they like how it makes others perceive them.
>>745431642Because he had personal involvement with the games, stupid.
>>745431487>dude it's all just meaningless bro, just stop thinking and conSOOOM
>>745431487It depends. While the social aspect matters (no one would care about a book written by AI, even if it were "good"), there is certainly an objective standard.For example, I doubt you'll find any author native to Senegal who has written works that addresses profound and interesting topics the way Dostoevsky did.If your theory, that art depends almost exclusively on the mystique surrounding the works, rather than on the works themselves, applies to Dostoevsky, then it won't be hard to find at least one native African writer who is just as "good" as he is.
>>745431735>professional involvement = personal involvement
>>745431735>BECAUSE HE HAD INVOLVEMENT IN THE GAME!so? You said it yourself, you fucking retard.He's famous, so his opinion doesn't matter.Look I am not the one who fucked my entire point up in the first few words of the sentence, you did, maybe next time don't talk like a fucking retard.
>>745431487you don't read so how would you know
>>745431613>shit shit shit how do I respond to this ummmmmmmm... YOU ARE DUMB!Gotten-to. And great works are quantified when some self-appointed critic dusts them off and makes them his pet project. Eventually he'll convince enough people to get the work 're-examined" and into the academic consciousness. The context of the work and the mystique of the author is what matters to these people, not the quality of prose or depth of wordplay.

Notes from underground is fun, white nights is ok, the double is great. After this he became a meme. I seriously fell for this retard, i started with the idiot and it was one of the most horrible experiences of my life. Then you learn this idiot was a chronic gambler and basically lived on the run and his long books were serialized in magazines and he created extreme fillers to make money as he was paid by the word.

>>745432817nta but 1000 percent correct
>>745432592Why do you expect people on the internet to have the desire to do a serious analysis? Moby Dick would fail in creative writing courses. Not because it's a bad book, but because commercial storytelling doesn't want friction, yet by removing friction you also strip away the work's depth. Take Book VI of The Karamazovs, it's 50 pages about Zosima's life, any modern editor would tell you to cut them, yet together with the preceding book, they are the heart of the novel. Literary masterpieces and consumable fiction are two different things
>>745395839You know, people can read books and still play games, you don't have to choose just one, autistic fuck.
crime and punishment is boring slop, liking dostoyevsky shows that someone just wanted to feel smart by reading something and looked up "famous books"
>>745432380A great little short story. People like to talk about dead souls, its nice but one has to renember it ends abruptly as its unfinished.The greatest for me is master and margerita, and usually if someone casually reccs that ge is a larper. You need like an annotated notebook with you to read this, its extremely deep as it was written in stalins time and every page you have to think deeply what the symbolism is about to escape the censors, the work that perfects the notion that hardcore censorship can also create the opposite end of free art.I personally mix my free time with books, manga, movies/shows and games. I learned to not make a backlog and do everything one by one. Reading is tye most essential, the remains of the day, the vegetarian, metamorphosis, dubliners, kokoro, days of abondonment/ferrantes tetralogy, the road, mishima... what a joy.

>>745433105>when you identify with the midwit pseud who has never read the book (singular) he's spent years bragging about reading A helpful reminder this place is filled with Asperger's kids who were in Gifted and Talented programs growing up, amounted to nothing, fell behind their peers in every aspect of society, but still desperately cling to the illusion they're the smartest in the room because without it they have nothing.
>>745427392They mostly talk about making the goyim slaves and how its ok to abuse goyim because they're not human like jews and raping goyim children isn't actual rape because they're not human, and basically just repeat that over and over. You can do whatever you want to goyim because only jews are people.imagine all the bad things jews ever said about nazis and nazi germany, add some child rape on top of that, and that's what jews teach themselves to be through their own religious texts and books (btw it's against jewish custom for goyim to read those books and they used to punish reading them with the death penalty if you read them while goy)this is how jews behave so it's really not a surprise they got kicked out of so many countries, they're a sort of corrosive acid to any functioning civilization. Presumably the only civilization building capable jews died when the romans burned carthage and salted the earth. Funny that - ashkenazi genetics come from sicily (and prior to that from the middle east around syria) where the carthaginians weren't completely slaughtered. After sicily they moved into the rhineland (between france/germany) and then were pushed out of central europe into eastern europe. They did a lot of european mixing along the way, but you can still draw a genetic thread from them back to syria, iraq, and the southern caucuses. (at the same time and in the same areas that there's widespread child sacrifice rituals!)
>>745433574>Asperger's kids who were in Gifted and Talented programs growing up, amounted to nothing, fell behind their peers in every aspect of society, but still desperately cling to the illusion they're the smartest in the room because without it they have nothing.Damn... literally me...

>>745433574>pic related
>>745430390I agree, but I still read paperback novels because it's just better than a phone (I don't want to waste the battery life anyway) and paperbacks have a visceral feel and smell to them that just kind of feels right. It's hard to put into words but it's nicer to have that paperback in your hands, with that paper smell, in the back of the bus while it's raining outside - contrasted with a kindle or whatever.And the paperbacks are easier to hold, too. You can do that split finger thing on one hand to hold it easily, which you can't do with kindles and other ereaders, and you can hold phones fine but phones just aren't nice to read on, they're a pain really.It's actually surprising that ereaders are still so unergonomic to hold, and also touch screens are total ass to deal with. If I accidentally touch the page of a real book it doesn't swap to the next page on me. Ereaders and phones do that constantly, you have to be so careful with the fucking touchscreen or find a toggle to disable the screen and most ereaders exclude buttons which is even more aggravating.In the end, I mostly carry and read from my kindle because it has all my books on it and then some, but I have no issues with reading paperbacks any time or place. I used to do that before ereaders and phones with books on them were a thing and it's nice to have something that doesn't require batteries and you can just whip it out whenever you're a bit bored or have to wait or something.

>>745434415you can read books in the internet, people don't know this but they are the same books as the ones in paper, but for some reason this insults the nerds.
>>745434103So? The con scene is big money.Remember Resident Evil? The original? That live action sequence? A youtube channel found all those actors and they do the con scene all the time now, even the old VA's do the con scene, same with old power rangers actors.
>>745431487What I've learned from life is that people can build up anything to be a masterpiece and tear down any masterpiece into being mundane.HOWEVER, though many many many retards / subhumans allow themselves to be collared like dogs to socially approved opinions (hello leftists), that doesn't mean the work itself becomes gooder or badder. You'll often find literary works where the writing was universally panned by critics at the time it was written and then 300 years later everyone fucking loves it - and that's because actual merit always shines through eventually, no matter the social mores and dysfunctional beliefs of the period.Really, I do have to admit that the way you can manipulate people into believing things by making them appear popular via friend effects or mass media advertising, or news propaganda campaigns is a pretty bad reflection on the mental capacity of the average (White!) person.
>>745395839I can relate to the whole "OMG YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THIS MOVIE" fatigue, that shit is annoying. I get it more from cinephiles than gamers for whatever reason. But whatever, people are fragile and thin-skinned, so if you give them a taste of their own medicine but with literary fiction instead of popcorn flicks, they invariably get touchy and prickly afterward. Having said that, I'm not the biggest Dostoevsky fan and wouldn't care much for talking about Crime and Punishment. Running into a Faulkner or a Virginia Woolf fan in the wild would get me pretty hype, though.
">/v/ mad people enjoy books.
>>745434512>>745434437You can be a con whore or you can be an artiste who's above cons. Both are fine. But if you pretend to be an artiste who's above cons while being a con whore people will just make fun of you for being a retarded pseud hypicrite, which is what is happening here.

>>745434557I think that if the criticisms directed at a work, even the harshest ones, broaden the discourse instead of shutting it down, then the work is probably profound. It is obviously not an objective criterion, but pragmatically I think it works

>>745435041I'm pretty sure Anthony Burgess (guy who wrote Clockwork Orange) says Bely's Petersburg is his favorite Russian novel because it unknowingly depicts the final breath of Russian intellectual and artistic life before the 1917 revolution.

>>745434949I don't think every book is art, but there's way more artistry in good fiction (and even good non-fiction too) than vidya, especially these days
>>745434949Thanks but I don't need some jew to tell me what I think is art or not.I know what is art and what is not art, and I don't give a damn if you agree with a jew over me, it's not ever going to change my opinion on it.Just look at how many different euphemisms your type has had to come up with for niggers - under all the jewish word games you play, the real meaning of "youths", "socioeconomic problems", "basketball players", "scholars", etc. bubbles to the surface over time regardless. You think you can play word games with definitions, but Plato's Forms are real. There is always a thing, a concept, a form, beneath the word and you cannot change it. Today you say "African American, not Nigger", tomorrow you say "Videogames aren't Art"; all you are doing is playing word games to reshape reality to your delusions.And all you actually accomplish is wrapping blindfolds over your own eyes and the eyes of anyone stupid enough to listen to you. It will never actually change videogames, just like you will never actually change nigger behaviour. Shifting a definition or a name or title will not ever change the underlying form it describes (or used to describe).
All these faggots coming in here going HURRR U JUST MAD BECAUSE HE SAY GAME DUMB BOOK GOODMy problem is that Crime and Punishment is a fucking boring slog.>REEEEEEE WHY IS THIS DRUNK TALKING TO ME ABOUT HIS FAMILY I WANT TO QUIETLY SEETHE ABOUT MY SISTER'S HUSBAND OFFERING ME A HIGH PAYING JOB AAAAAAAAAAAAAA HE THINKS HE'S BETTER THAN ME EVEN THOUGH HE'S NEVER MET ME AND ONLY KNOWS ABOUT ME FROM WHAT MY MOTHER AND SISTER TELL HIM AND THEY DON'T KNOW I'M A DROP-OUT DRUNKARD NO BETTER THAN THE DRUNKARD I WANT TO KILL AAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEBig fucking snore, I dropped that shit a third of the way through I don't fucking care about a Russian engaging in the inner monologue version of screeching CYKA BLYAT at everyone in CS;GoIt also bothers the fuck out of me when someone tries to big-dog people. It's just smug cuntery, and it proves that he doesn't give a shit about literature beyond how he can use it as a social stepping stone.He doesn't explain why Crime and Punishment is a good book, which for him it could be while I have Russian Incel Fatigue, he doesn't talk about the plot or how much he enjoyed it.He just goes UHM ACKSHUALLY I ONLY ENGAGE IN INTELLECTUAL PURSUITSIt also bothers the fuck out of me when an actor shits on the people and reason he got paid and got famous.I don't want a prostitute with cum on his chin telling me how much he prefers eating arse to sucking cock. Nigger, you still got paid to suck cock and you sucked that cock hard and deep.You don't get to act superior when you've still got cock breath and cumburps.>>745434729Most people who create something don't engage with their own creation. They can see everything they did wrong in some cases, and in others it's the act of creating it that mattered to them and simply consuming it doesn't have the same feeling.

But he doesn't. He just did it to look intellectual.That's my argument you stupid fuck. Books are for reading, not fucking showboating.
>>745435774I don't mind finishing meh books if they're sub-500 pages but I am definitely not afraid to drop a big book if it doesn't seem good. It's a tricky balancing act. I thought both Stephen King's The Stand and Tolkien's Lord of the Rings were a bit sluggish for the first 100 pages, but they both became very kino afterward.

>>745436472all I've been able to glean about women is that they're basically natural sociopaths and manipulators, nothing they say is genuine, and controlling them requires being above social norms/justice (criminal/mob boss/king), or having the power to bend social norms to your whim (suave manipulators that can turn any lie into a truth or vice versa with extensive loyal friend/community networks to isolate aggravating women)and it's basically either you can kill/destroy her on a whim and or you can't so she has nothing but contempt for youI have never known or seen women who behave contrary to this
