"Mad at the Internet" - a/k/a My Psychotherapy Sessions

[CryptoHermit]

I did not imagine Null to be a Count Olaf groyper!

In my opinion, it's become a little tiresome as it's progressed. The main flaw being that the last couple books have had the climactic "shit's going down" scenario go on for almost a whole third of the book. But at least the LitRPG influence has reduced more and more as the series continues.

I feel LitRPGs tend to work best when the RPG part is in the background for the most part, and do not have an entire page of stats at the end of every chapter. Primal Hunter was very egregious in this for the first couple of books.

Royal Road is the origin of these obnoxious literary trends along with people primarily consuming anime instead of culture from THE VVEST. You have look for minor authors who stalk self-publishing or niche magazine/publishing groups to find anything of worth nowadays like Quarter Lives. Nutcranker by Dan Baltic is one of such gems in the rough. It's a modern day spin of Don Quixote with a terminally online right-wing sperg called Spencer Grunhauer being maniacally convinced of his grand design to SAVE THE WEST. Doctor Universalis by Gaston Nerval is a kino read too. Same with The Dream God by Brendan M.P Heard and

There's also short story collections to keep track of like Graphomania by Ana Krivolapova and Millenium by Marty Phillips. The only other fiction I can recently recommend is Intermezzo by Sally Rooney but that's within a distinctly Irish context so I don't know how well all this would translate to others.

This prompted me to look up other state laws because hunting baited deer is illegal where I’m at: apparently Hawaii has like no restrictions on deer hunting which is wild to me because it’s not like they have the near unlimited numbers the continental states have. Alaska, Florida, and Texas are all more restrictive than Hawaii.

Hawaiians are fat and only eat Spam so restricting deer hunting does not matter to them as it is not spam or corn beef.

Hawaiian deer are all invasive and very damaging to the environment, they probably want them all dead.

To be fair so do I.

 

[Kataskopos]

It's still worth seeing a grand idea like this mostly play out past the setup

Dinniman hit a sweet spot in storyboarding for this, I think it ends in about 3 more books according to him. Reading Dominion of Blades (pooner protagonist) and Kaiju Battlefield Surgeon (foreskin harvesting) is a trip if you come from DCC because they're definitely more gratuitous but he seems to have found a nice balance with writing about Carl and Donut. Dinniman's biggest literary sin though isn't writing a litrpg, it's being a r*dditor for almost 2 decades.

What they will do is post picture of Dr. Pizza for the hundredth time and claim you're the real pedophile, acktshually.

"ACK-shually did you hear Dr. Pizza went gorilla mode on 6 million young teenage girls? I heard it from my favorite animes Rev & Daddy Jim so I guess you're the real pedophile chud!

The Anime’s seem to not be for it

Other poles think that it’s only for crappy games.

It's people like this that bitch about the state of the game industry & do nothing to fix it when given the opportunity.

Josh said he had to cutout some of the talent. I want the full uncut screed

Sorry but I heard the full 90 minute Doki Doki Chan with handcam stabbing a picture of Jim over and over again with a steak knife is going to be a Locals exclusive.

Random aside, has anyone talked to Josh about his stream volume and why it is so low?
When I listen to the stream on my drive I have the car volume turned up to 30, when I listen to music it is at 15.

I still don't "get" Locals.

You want to give Josh money and get a couple pieces of exclusive content per year.

Don't worry it's not like Rekieta's locals, there's no wine-mom chats and so far Null has not posted a picture of his ass with a cheese wheel wedged between the cheeks. But you never know.

Hey, I have this! I got this book when I was little, it's very cute. [censored the translation for privacy reasons]

I knew about the original, but for some reason, I only saw fit to buy the parody version, Humans.
[I just found out some of the subcategories have volumes in their own right, like Biddys and Coots]

I still remember when the bottle ass cheecks thing first occured, it was described as rekieta having "a wine bottle in his ass" which led to wildly different expectations as to what the image actually was.

Too low agency.

Maybe if Josh calls Patrick Tomlinson "Patrick Tomlinsonchild" every time like Jim Sterling's old bit.

That's probably because people in Alaska, Florida, and Texas actually own guns.

The very concept of a LitRPG is retarded to me but clearly I'm the moron because dudes are having easy full-time careers writing this slop. Are there any which are actually good or worth reading to get some perspective on why it's so popular?

If Jersh ever wears the medallion and recites the words, a picture like this will leak the next day

 

[Hooked on phobics]

user @DefinitelyNotMe made some memes about SKG in multiple languages and got them reposted by running with scissors software

Link to twitter post (he also has several more on his twitter in other languages)

I feel like this could warrant the forum award for art / culture on the forum? lot of effort was put into it. But if not, I feel its noteworthy.
