Games are so shit now that I just went back to reading.I've read about 6 books in the last month.
>>750213336Play good games like Counter-Strike 1.6 and modded Skyrim and Sims 4. Grow up. It's time for you to be a man.
This nerd reads, LMAO!
>>750213336read anything good ?
>>750213336When the barrier of entry is so low and there’s a million billion trillion options to pick, how do you narrow down which book you read?
>>750213525Yes, but you might not share my manchild tastes. >>750213659For me it was determining what genres I like and then going on /lit/ to see what people usually recommend. I haven't read any bad books so far following this strategy.
i like philip k dick
>>750213336Hi steven ogg
>>750215478>Games are so shit now that I just went back to reading.>I've read about 6 books in the last month.
>>750213336If its not philosophy it sucks
I'm on my 91st book right now. Barely play games or watch online "content" anymore.
>>750213493playing with action figures is, literally, for kids, timmy
>>750214549I unapologetically read shit like Tearmoon Empire
>>750218575cool, can you stop browsing 4chan next?
>>750213336Good for you, OP. Try and beat out most gamers by the end of the year. You can literally do it!
>>750218713mad and insecure
>>750218742I already have judging by that pic.
>>750218852
>>750214549>my manchild tastesHyperion? 12 Rules for Life? Blood Meridian? Sun & Steel?
yes I am a chad reading this
>>750219041>Clean EditionAs opposed to the buck broken edition I assume?
>>750213336>nowdoesn't matter. if new games are shit, i just play older games
>>750213336my power went out for a few days and I was reading as much as I could. loved it, completely absorbed. Blood Meridian really is as good as people say. My power came back and I haven't read a single thing since. I can't help myself man.
>>750218704>>750218963Recently read a "horror" short story collection called Throne of Bones which I thought was amazing. It's degenerate but extremely well written.If you like that sort of thing I would recommend it.
>>750219665Sounds cool, I'll look it into it anon, cheers
I wish there were a good place on the internet for book discussion.
I'm going to college to get an engineering degree because I'm so bored of games now.I'm 32 but I think I blend in if I shave my face lol
>>750219901If I was a college student and I found out that a 32 year old man had infiltrated our community, me and my friends would pounce on him, bite his throat out, and tear his skin to shreds with our claws
>>750218575Why aren't you posting on /lit/ then dweeb? This board has nothing for you unless you're just an off topic /b/-lite faggot.
I've been listening to audio books, reading manga and playing gamesI want to watch some movies but I can't fit those in outside of latest stuff getting theatrical releases
>you can only post on one (1) boardmad and insecure
>>750213336My Tanizakis came in and am looking forward to reading them after Halloween, I don't think spooky season is the right time for them.
>>75022022191 books is far beyond most of /lit/, who reads one book or series then make their entire lives revolve around it. Another normalfag board.
>>750213336Tell me about your favorite book, anon.
>>750221303I don't have one desu, books are hard to rank especially if they're different genres. I only have books I like and books I don't.
i read a football book
>>750222436DeLilo is awesome, I should read this one someday.
>>750213336This is the problem with books.Video games last for weeks but you can pound a book in like four days.
>>750222507which of his books have you read?particularly, i still haven't read ratner's star and mao ii - are they any good?
>>750213336I just play older games and work out.>>750220120Literally nobody cares, you would know this if you went to college.I also like how you need multiple people to take someone out in your make believe chud incel scenario.
>>750222695Most games have singleplayer campaigns that are under 10 hours to complete. Only multiplayer games or strategy/RPG's can last weeks.
>>750222720In order I've only read Underworld, Mao II and The Names but they were all great.
>>750222695I agree with your reasoning about time, I'm just not sure what or where the problem is.
>>750224416you must read Libra. easily my favorite of his body of work. i'll take the rec and download mao ii :)
>>750213336Why on earth would you do that? Even the shittiest video game mogs the greatest works of literature.
>>750224489If you read books for 10 years you run out of books.
>>750213336Not a problem with project Nortubel
>>750224617Uhhhh I think there's more than 500-1000 books worth reading. Are you talking like affordability?
>>750224512Yeah I've heard Libra is tight, I'll probably get to it next year. Enjoy Mao II, I was hard-pressed to find sentences or paragraphs that didn't belong, just extremely tight and satisfying writing from beginning to end.
>>750213336Truth nukium. Its more immersive than games too.
>>750224710There aren't actually that many.All the nebula nominees from like 65 to 88 and then reading out from those authors you're well under 1000.And then you've read basically everything unless you want to read like Weird Tales.
>>750224870One prolific writer like Tolstoy or Eliot takes at least a year to get through all of their works. I'll be okay.
There's a guy at work who reads books while walking around on his lunch break. Pretty based compared to being a phone zombie but seems like it would be much harder to concentrate on what you're reading.
>>750224976Why would you read 19th century russians its ponderous pretentio nevermind.
Any Fanfic chads out there? What've you guys been reading?
>>750224540>Expedition 33 mogs Ulysses False
>>750223918>chud incel scenarioYou're kinda autistic if you couldn't pick up on the fact the guy was clearly joking.
>>750224994walking while reading is kinda nice. i tend to sit on my ass on weekends, so sometimes i take up my ereader and pace in circles. i find it aids with focus (and is even nicer when i read aloud, somehow)
>>750225046I ask gemini to make fics of my OC/self insert being shipped with various characters I like. Last night before sleep I did a fanfic of my OC x Fem!Malfoy post books/war
>>750225040I also read 20th and 21st century Russians.>WhyBecause bubblegum products and popcorn flicks in book form are boring to me now.>PretentioYep, this is /v/ alright. Anything more complicated than a doordash receipt is ostentatious, right.
>>750213336I read at night because it helps my mind unwind and get ready for sleep and play video games during the day.
i've read over 1000 books this year alone (I get SI to summarize them for me)
>>750220428If you want schizo pilled nip lit read Kyusaku Yumeno
>>750224870>There aren't actually that many.there's literally millions lol>nebula nomineesdo you have any favorite nbcc or pen/faulkner nominees
>niggas be like: yeah i read booksbut what they actually be reading is shit like this. jap isekai slop.
>>750225131Interesting, I've heard of people using ai to RP with characters but never to generate whole fics. Do they usually turn out good? For me, I picked up an old bloodborne fic since the game is getting popular again, features the hunter and Vicar Amelia doing lovey dovey stuff.
>>750225339how much marketing research money do you think went into making this cover as infantilizing and addicting as they could
>>750219363I feel like this is the one dude you don't make that "joke" about if you're not a tryhard loser.
>>750225339is the dog a romance option?
just go hiking
>>750225176I'm more the opposite but this sounds based too.
>>750225406It's not bad, I tell it to act as a expert writer and avoid AI cliches, the dialogue and scenes can be pretty fun to read, the AI does struggle with being dumb in a sense, like if I say that Malfoy has very striking catty eyes, it repeats that flavour/description way too many times. Or like you make your MC 6ft tall, it calls him tall, towering, whatever every second scene which doesnt make that much sense. And it also needs to be directed every chapter, if you let it do its own thing it cant really do its own thing well which sucks as it'd make it more fun to read. You also cant really do lewd stuff too much except like kiss, lapsitting, etc.
>>750225273No. I am a monster/raygun reader. No monster? No raygun? I won't read it.
>>750225538I'll take your word for it, no idea who he even is
>>750225543no. the dog is named fenrir and is just the mc's summoned familiar/slaveps: i havent actually watched the show but thats usually how it goes
>>750224994Yeah, bro is definitely one of those "performative males". Reading, at work, on a small break, WHILE walking around. There is no way you can concentrate or get into the right mindset for reading like that. I bet if you asked that guy for a summary of the last chapter he read he couldnt give it to you.
>>750225724I am disappointed. But, its par for the course, nips can never give us any real good non-human romance that isnt just straight porn. Kemos dont count.
>that book you found in the middle school library that was about stalking, murder and prostitution
>>750213336Read Shadow of the Torturer .I thought it was going to be overrated man child shit due to the memes, but it's one of the best books I've ever read in my life.
>>750226073I remember my school accepting book donations for in-classroom libraries. I wonder if they ever checked the contents of them besides the cover before slipping them on the shelves.
>>750218656So is reading books and all other forms of entertainment like watching movies/tv so your point is null.REAL men should be out hunting and fishing instead of doing anything else
>>750226248gene wolfe fag...you need to go back to your containment threads
>>750226637I legit have no idea what you're talking about, schizo
>>750226248I have to get through LOTR and Neuromancer first.
>>750213659>hmmm I like furry women, slow burn romance, world building, and fantasy or sci-fi settings>does my local library have a book like that>no>go on internet and find story that does>readits that simple.
>>750213336For me, reading books is work. While I can enjoy it in the moment, the dopamine I get from it just isn't enough to make me intrinsically eager to pick up another. The social value of reading is a lot higher than video games though so I try to put in the effort for the the purpose of crafting a more well-received persona.
>>750226395Yeah no lol, also you're fat and smelly
Literature is inferior to the visual arts.
I mostly just talk to chatgpt nowadays and let it read old stuff I wrote a long time ago. Nice having an audiobook that you can customize.
>>750213336I read capital volume 1 and the commie manifesto to get what leftists are on about and noooticed they haven't read these books themselves.
>>750227398visual arts? more like visual farts
>>750227564Marx was retroactively refuted by Stirner (PBUH).
>>750227248>reading books is workYou're not reading something you like then. Quit the performative self help, philosopher, Aristotle Plato bullshit. If you weren't interested enough to derive joy from reading works like that then you never will. Im sure you can find a novel that suits your tastes and your dopamine maxxing tendencies while still being able to larp about being someone who reads in 2026.
>>750226395>>750227248skill issue
>>750227398i like both :)
>>750227398the visual arts are dead and anime killed it
I'm reading Code.
>>750228337Coding is more like building lego than reading.
You’re not reading manchild core slop, are you anon? You realize women will judge you, right?
>>750213336books are cringe unless they're Japanese
Play old games. If you're limiting yourself to playing new games only; you're in a prison of your own making.
>>750228405Bud..since when does Lego have conditional statements?
>>750228420why is dazai there
>>750228689I downloaded Morrowind a couple days ago and got repeatedly hunted down and killed by the flying dinosaur creatures in the volcano region.
>>750228738
>>750228465ok? ur image says the opposite of what ur saying. so what is ur point
>>750213336I barely play games and draw most of the time these days
>>750221303
>>750228762big on tiktok with the women these days
>>750230415
I used to read a ton but now I pretty much only read a book if I'm going on a long plane ride or something
>>750213336Same. I started reading the horus heresy books, the first 5 are good but man is legion fucking boring.
>>750214984I just got done reading Ubik.
>>750226395historical non-fiction, literary fiction and philosophy are, literally, for adults, timmy
Have you shaken off the chains of irony yet, /v/?
same, but for a different reason. I had recently uninstalled instagram and put about 80 books on my phone instead. I didn't like the habit of scrolling reels mindlessly anytime I picked up my phone, so I replaced it with the habit of reading.
>>750220221/lit/ fags have the same problem as /v/ in that they don't partake in the medium that their board is about. I honestly don't know why me or anybody else uses 4chan in 2026 when the majority of the boards are so divorced from their own hobbies and original intentions. Devolving into schizos,bots, and shitskins.
>>750214549I’m always on /lit/ too. Just picked up The Manuscript found in Saragossa. You like picaresque novels? Check it out. Loving it so far.
Have you read his book? Super Mario 64 was my Vietnam too
>>750230990Is that the guy who wrote Blood Meridian?
>>750231097>i'm the REAL victim, guys
>>750230997>>750231042who would win in a fight?
>>750231157Who are you quoting?
>>750231115is it about playing with dolls?>>750231118he wrote infinite jest, the book about how modern entertainment has more in common with slot machines and suicide than anything else
>>750231163
>>750231118nta but pretty sure that's F. Gardner (author of the award-winning Horror's Call series)
>>750231097>HOW DO YOU DO, FELLOW READERS
>>750213336I tried reading manga for the first time by starting with FMA. I'm on the second volume, and....I don't know, it's just not a page turner, yet I feel compelled to finish the series anyway because I like finishing what I start. This is coming from someone who does read fiction novels.
thoughts on this?he mentions 4chan quite a few times when talking about the failure of lawbreakers.
>>750231312>schizo babble proving my pointk.
>>750213336I got oneshotted by Stella Maris. All of the questions of existence are weighing heavily on my mind.
>>750231363Haven't read it but I'm interested in any blurbs or QRDs, looks like a quick and fun read.
>>750231236V is the true essence of 4chan, before the chuds took over.
>>750225067Expedition 33 mogs…. YA fantasyslop. Ulysses however? Yeah fucking NO.Name one thing from any game that can top>BLOOM: (Wonderstruck, calls inaudibly.) Rudy!I cri evri tim
>>750230990It's crazy how this dude predicted social media and the hell that we live in
I just finished this last month, it was good. guts travels across france with a loli and faggot priest during the black death while demons invade
>>750231383Read Finnegans Wake next.
>>750227618Call me James Joyce…>>750231257It’s Waldun actually.
>>750228420This is not womanchild core. Womanchild core is the fat ones that read nothing but YA shit / sarah j maas / rebecca yarros type shit and literal porn. womens 'literature' is 85% porn now
>>750231458Thank you, curly-haired autistic 24 year old
Im reading the yugioh manga, on volume 12 now starting with Jono vs Haga.
KINO
>>750231406i only read it because I obsess over video game history and loved Masters Of Doom. This book is basically that for Gears fans.It did, however, verify my gut feeling about how much of a douchebag the guys is / was.
>>750231574Straight haired autistic 27 year old. Close enough though.
I went back into book reading a few months ago and modern books are just as bad as modern gamesSanderson especially, the fact he is so popular despite being so mid boggles the mind
>>750231661>reading modern books
>>750231562It’s still womanchildcore because most of it is conceited fake deep slop that women use to create their personality (since they don’t have one of their own)
>>750231473I categorize this it in the same place as people who recommend reading William Blake.
>>750231661Maybe don't read genre fiction written for 17 year olds.
>>750231661Take the fanfiction pill. It caters to your interests directly so you always know you'll be reading something you enjoy. If the author is shit? Well, there are a hundred others on the same niche interest that you can try out.
>>750231458Ulysses seems like masturbation material for writers.
>>750231878>typo goddamnit don't post while buzzed.
>>750231878I like Blake but he's a toddler rattle compared to that so-called "novel"
>>750231878William Blake is a maestro. You should read all his works. And his later schizo prophetic epics too. He’s not Milton or Spenser level — let alone Shakespeare — but he’s still a wonderful poet.
>>750231909>masturbationI too am a fan of chapter 13
>>750213336Split the difference and read/play a gamebook or a visual novel.I keep thinking it would be nice to read more, but I still enjoy tackling my game backlog
>>750231857yeah that shit is called wifeslop
>>750232062got any maidenless-slop?
Any books with the Ace Combat Zero feeling? A story centred on soldiers, in a fictional place.
>>750231878blake is cool and not nearly as impenetrable as the wake (although perhaps equally difficult to extract definitive meaning/intent from)
>>750230990I started reading IJ because of the memes, and now I can't stop reading it. I've already gone through it twice in the past year.
>>750227652no he wasnt. if anything Stirner made Marx's ideology stronger
>>750232080>not reading the annotated versionpleb
>>750231909Sure, you’d be right to an extent but I feel people misinterpret it as just a huge linguistic experiment. In actuality, it’s one of the most enjoyable experiences you can have. You don’t need to know all the allusions to other literature, the Irish politics and sometimes sciences to actually enjoy it; it has an initially daunting but eventually easy to follow stream of consciousness that feels so intricately crafted you’d think you were reading Bloom’s mind. He’s one of the most fully realised characters in literature. Though I’d argue Joyce didn’t completely succeed in making him seem like a modern day Odysseus in the form of an Irish Jew Everyman, more so he makes him like a Jewish version of himself. Plus, if you do value your prose, each chapter of Ulysses has something fresh and parodic to it, he pulls off mimicking these styles (like catechism, purple prose, bombastic language, cliche romance, playscript, English literature dating back over 1500 years) with musicality and great skill.>>750232026I wonder if Gertrude was even that hot…
>>750232436What the fuck kind of mental illness is this?
>>750213336Nice. I went through a similar thing recently but have been getting back into games, mostly retro stuff.Been reading Paradise Lost lately and really enjoying it.
>>750232436>>750232528the musings of the world's foremost literary society upon the greatest epic of the modern world
>>750213336Wojak-chan... kawaii desu...
>>750232558Paradife Loft is probably the best English language literature ever written. So good choice. What book you on?
what's some well written fantasy or scifi. last like year and a half all I've really read is progfan, translated works, and fanfic. wanna read some well written books.going to start with hyperion, what else should I read?
>>750219790can’t imagine anything more insufferable than talking to other bookfags. Music and filmfags are already full of pretentious fucks. bookfags may be at another level.
>>750232706Books are just the best, no?
>>750232629I heard the VALIS trilogy is good.
>>750213659Word of Mouth.Reading popular stuff is (almost) never a bad thing. As long as you can sniff out the memey shit like Dungeon Crawler Carl or whatever, reading stuff on popular lists will naturally lead you to find authors and genres you like.Once you get a base of a few authors you like, look up who THEY recommend and you expand your horizons little by little.You can also look up recommendation videos, reviews and that sort of thing, and just pick up what sounds like it has an interesting premise. In this day and age you can even get samples of the book online to see if you like the author's "voice" before you pull the trigger.also get a Kobo and pirate your books so you don't feel bad about spending moeny on a book you hate.
>>750232339What, are you a recovering junkie?
>ITT: Not a single book reader
>>750232984You’re not a thread reader because unless you just don’t believe people, there are many ITT talking about their experiences with books.
>>750231467I really like this. The audiobook version has one of the worst narrators I've ever had. He keeps trying to do a "little girl voice" and it is truly awful.Book was good enough I stuck through the whole thing anyway
>>750231562It’s based on Manchild Core. The joke is that manchildren read hyper-dense genre fiction books with stellar prose meant for 140 IQ people, but they refuse to read any actual literary fiction that was written pre-20th century. Then they make that their entire personality.
>>750233339Watch out. You might fight corncob and Wolfe fags ITT.
>>750232984most performative post ITT btw
>>750233339See, this is why its impossible to discuss books on /lit/ and everyone goes to /v/ or /tg/ to talk books that aren't pretentious bullshit made for /lit/fags.
There's some fantastic autobiographies out there.
/v/'s obsession with not appearing pretentious really backfires this often, huh?
>>750233540>impossibleskill issue, maybe read less harry potter
>>750233596Who wrote that?
>>750233596That's just a balding, bespectacled white dude problem
>>750233596Just say you dont like it when I shit on movie games, its not that hard.
>>750213336Go to >>>/lit/ then faget
>>750233596>WHY DONT YOU APPRECIATE MY ART!!!>walking simulator
>>750213525Not OP but have also been reading more than gaming in recent years. Any whodunnitfags need to read Benjamin Stevenson. Start with "Everyone in my Family has Killed Someone". He's an ausfag, so some of the references and locations won't mean much to non-ausfags, but he's really good. He's not as good as Knox or Christie, but I can't name a better recent whodunnit writer.
>>750233596I'm a fan of Tim Rogers and he's the most pretentious fucker in game reviewer circles.
>>750218742Can I count my visual novels as books?
>>750234117Most VN's aren't written as well as books.
>>750233339This image is bait, but to those who don't know any better, McCarthy isn't genre fiction since he writes in the same vein as Faulkner.
>>750213659Just read bestsellers and classics really:Lord of the ringsAny Stephen kingHarry Potter (unironically)Chronicles of NarniaMoby DickThe IlliadThe OdysseyOliver Twist1984Huckleberry FinEtc etc
I like films better than books. I watched 166 films this year.
>>750232528
>>750233339I'm 2/12 on that board, guess which ones.
>>750234431Moby Dick is more meaningful if you have a Christian religious background.
>>750234492which films were your favorites?
Op how do I know what books to read? Theres nothing like /v/ to keep me up to date on what the current books are.
>>750234576All images as such should be disregarded as bait.
>>750234645you should take influence and recommendations from people whose work in non-literary spheres you like.e.g. if you like MGSV, a game that alludes to Moby-Dick all the time, you should read it
>>750213336You can do both you knowI've been reading for at least 20 minutes every night for 25 years
>>750234638The Seventh Seal (1957)Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters (1985)When A Woman Ascends The Stairs (1960)Amadeus (1984)The Third Man (1949)First Reformed (2017)Le Bonheur (1965)Barton Fink (1991)
>>750233596>NOOOOOO MY FUCKING FAVOURED WALKING SIMULATOR ISN'T ENJOYEDThe only good creator of moviegames is Kojima; all of his games are fantastic, but the caveat here is that Kojima seemingly believes he is creating high art films while accidentally creating campy masterpieces like Evil Dead. I actually quite enjoy some spaz acting like he's creating art while mastering camp, but maybe that was la creatividad's masterplan of manipulation all along. Not pretentious, in any case. I do enjoy David Cage's walking simulators, but I'd call them interactive VNs (like Daganronpa, Phoenix Wright, or Hotel Dusk) before I'd call them video games. And, they ARE horrendously pretentious compared to the other interactive VNs. Everything else is not only pretentious, but also shit.
>>750227196Why not just read book of the new sun and pretend every female is furry?
>>750234051Yeah, that's his schtick I guess. "Look guys, I'm pretentious on purpose. It's all just ironic pretenses, right guys?" Northernlion does a blue collar equivalent of it. I'm kinda tired of it, ngl.
>>750234597A lot of masterpieces are.
>>750234117No.
>>750213336I picked up some real hobbies. Video games are so much better when than compliment your life instead of being the main focus. Im serious. Go learn an instrument, learn a second language, have stuff like that be your obsession and “challenge”. Video games are just some toys you play with at the end of the day.Pic related is a guitar I bought yesterday.
>>750235660This. I figured this out from drawing and reading. Video games are meant to be side things.
>>750235261is that mishima movie good? I found his fiction mid but everyone says its easier to appreciate if you know more about his bio. >>750234040my local thrift store has that book for 10 bucks, gonna buy it, obliged
>>750235660>>750235750Careful, you'll anger the manchildren. People here will get pissed off when you mention how the quality of your life is inversely correlated with the time spent gaming.
>>750235660I can only play the one string Smoke on the Water I learned in a guitar class over a decade ago. I should have stuck with it.
I read some of the Ender books.They peak at the second. It's not a high peak but it's the peak. Didn't care for em.
>>750235818My only issue now is sticking to it. I've been so conditioned to games that my mind reverts back to that. It sucks.
>>750233918I don't like movie games either. It's just obvious to everyone gamers are intellectually insecure.
>>750235916Uninstall, use blockers, go outside, accountability buddy (or multiple, communities help), reminders as to why you should do other stuff, etc.
>>750236004>uninstall>use blockers>go outside>Actually joining a community and not being a fearful faggot>etcI know I know I am having a problem with my Claude addiction and keep making shitty games ( they are actually pretty decent) and am withdrawing
>>750235501Because you dont get to experience the intricacies of a woman with fur. Like how her tail might wrap around your torso at night, or how her ears flick attentively at sounds you can't hear. Its the subtle details that form the bigger picture for me.
>>750236146If you are learning 3d modeling/art/coding that's a little different than just playing tbf. Try an addiction/quitting group if it's that bad. Also get the fuck off this website for good.
>>750235660Nice guitar anon, I could never into string instruments other than my pentatonic lyre so I just stick with the drums as my go to.
>>750236278I went to 8moe after php rebuild and it's what 4chan is supposed to be. They actually discuss video games and aren't raging faggots 24/7. They also rangebanned india,israel, and russia. I'm probably going to heavily filter /v/ for the draw threads and /v/an and use that lol.

>>750234332Blood Meridian is still read by many for its exciting scenes of gratuitous violence (sporadic as they are) and le heckin evil judge who’s oh so based!!!
>>750233339Wait, where does The Bonehunters fall? Because that's my favourite fantasy book (although I enjoyed most of Malazan a great deal more than many other fantasies from the get-go). Is it so Manchildish that it doesn't even make the list? Or is it slightly above prominent manchildness?
>>750237143Erikson is considered manchildcore by most of /lit/ if that answers your question.
>>750237221It does in the way that I feared, but not in the way that I'd hoped.
>>750237143Pretty much ANY genre fiction is considered manchildcore by /lit/. Hell, 95% of prose is.
>>750235818Surely you're not implying too many video games is....le BAD, right? Surely playing video games 10 hours a day for 20 years is great for you!
>>750237749I read this in his voice whether the pic was related or not.
>>750237874Wow, dood, bugged subvocalization mechanics!
>>750213336I'm downloading all the old games so I can just tap out of the modern market and just play good games forever.
>get back into reading after watching haruhi for the first time and ordering the first few novels>read them at work because there's jack shit to do half the time and i'm always busy at home>boss lady keeps making shit up for me to do at work to keep busy>haven't touched them in months
>>750219480those aren't limitless
>>750213659You can literally ask Grok for recs based on your specific wants these days
>>750213336my ADHD won't let me read books
>tfw even basic smut has better writing than the average vidya
You can literally use AI to give you the plot of any book and what you should feel about it. But you can't use AI to make you feel like you're playing a game.
>>750240762maybe use AI to learn how to not use the word 'literally' pretentiously
>>750233596Whoever wrote this got caught up in trying to sound smart that it backfires on them.>emotionally if not chronologicallyDid they mean to say chronically? Even that thought wouldn't have made much more sense.
>>750241139yeah that part confused me too lol
Last book I finished was Blood Meridian.
>>750241139>Whoever wrote this got caught up in trying to sound smart that it backfires on them.Well yeah, they're a gamer.

>>750233596Vidya is already the ultimate form of art, encompassing all other forms and then some, and this makes 'real artists' seethe.
>>750241139chronologically immature meaning young - despite its overuse, "literally" may have been more applicable here
>>750241570Slot machines are even more ultimate
>>750241570>THIS IS THE ULTIMATE
>>750241593slot machines lack many mediums of art which can be present in a video game
>>750240551I sort of have this problem. I can only read at night when Im in bed. If its still the waking hour, I get distracted with other things like my PC and vidya. But, I get absorbed too easily while reading and end up staying up till like 4 or 5am. So my sleep schedule has been fucked for a while now.
>>750241836literally wrong
>went from forgetting actors to forgetting words like "amorphous"When does this stop?
>>750241836the cashnado would like a word with you
>>750241836pachinko
For me its webnovels
Does anyone else’s mind go numb when it comes to scenery descriptions or is it just me
>>750213336Literature exists on a spectrum between boring and trying way too hard. Most /v/tards don't even bother with it and just read weeby LNs, fantasyslop, or Halo novels o algo.
>>750243071dont forget warhammer 40k books, those pieces of shit are still going
>>750243071If your recreational reading is for anything other than enjoyment you're doing it wrong.>b-but I want to larp as a philosophical chadLol, lmao keep forcing yourself to read a schizo's ramblings so you can finally fit it.
>>750243031it's just you, tsukasabro. i'm sorry
>>750241570Video games are the ultimate art-form the same way Tyrant from Resident Evil 1 is the ultimate life-form: a malformed, disgusting hodgepodge randomly made-up of parts from other, better, sources of art/life. An abomination.
>>750243031I was never diagnosed with an autism-adjacent cognitive learning disorder, so no, sorry.
>>750213336>zoom zooms think its only possible to play games released in the past yearYou know you can play any game ever made in history... right?
