I'm reading "At The Mountains of Madness" by HP Lovecraft, and since it's been a while since I've really read a book like this it's very difficult.

Maybe I'm just tired, but honestly I just read six fucking pages about uneventful antarctic exploration with the only vaguely interesting thing being that they apparently found a weird triangle?

I was a very avid reader as a kid, but I guess I lost the ability to self control my ADHD enough to passively make consistent sense of the paragraphs.

Or maybe Hippo Potamus Lovecraft describes things too much idk.

Either way, this makes me feel better and more confident about my own writing, because I tend to worry that I'm being too descriptive of things.

Honestly, some of these books get so excessively descriptive that it loops all the way back around and I have no idea what anything looks like.

Hit Points Lovecraft wrote this story like a research paper, which I guess is fair because the narrating character is a geologist talking about a scientific endeavor.

But, like, bro. My dude. My guy. Mr. Horse Power Lovecraft. You do not need to put in the latitude and longitude of the character's location in the arctic. You do not need to do that. Most people reading will not gain anything significant in terms of the story by being told the exact latitude and longitude every time. You do not need to tell us, Health Potion Lovecraft.

Anyways sorry about the rant. I'm tired but I got a deadline for finishing this book so I'm gonna keep reading.

I tend to listen to Lovecraft Audio books and have heard most stories twice or thrice and know most stories pretty well by now...

But I also have started the Mountain of Madness Audiobook like at least 5 or 6 times, yet to this day I have only the vaguest clue what its actually about - and no idea what the ending is... Its just something about that particular story that makes it hard to concentrate on and makes me totally fade out or forget it immediately again.

So you are not alone :D

[trapny]

I think it's because for the first couple parts of the story it's basically an expedition log written by an academic.

[nionidh]

Yes very much!

And later on the hourlong description of the forlorn civilization... and when he's done describing i have forgotten everything about the story beforehand...

if im not already mixing things up with another story

[trapny]

I finished the second part of the story where they find preserved organisms like nothing ever seen before, and then describe them at such length that you have genuinely no idea what they look like.

To stay engaged in the story I had to look up a picture of what they supposedly looked like and it's apparently this???

The weird amorphous blob I was imagining was nothing like this, but at least this can serve as a basis for what I'm reading.

[nionidh]

Oh yea i remember that lol, i have neven had a good picture of them in my head...

The Raven [Explained]

Transcript Under the Cut

Once upon a midnight dreary While I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious Volume of forgotten lore While I nodded, nearly napping, Suddenly there came a tapping As if someone gently rapping Rapping at my chamber door... [A door opens, revealing Eminem wearing a hoodie.] clickcreak Eminem: Yo.

Fuck I’m at a fencing tournament and literally a minute after I reblogged this my dad told me that he talked to the point people and I’m probably going to win a medal.

BURN BAGEL BURN

[gothiccharmschool]

OH WHY NOT?

[harukami]

I need to follow up to say I reblogged this last night, and this morning I got some of the best news of my life, like, a life dream come true news thing.

Bagel what are your powers

[acabosetotal]

FUCK, I though it was just another lucky meme but LISTEN. Since a week ago I was waiting a phone call to confirm me if I got a job or not in my university. I reblogged this yesterday’s night “just for fun and because I don’t want any bagel to be mad with me”, and today’s afternoon, while I was losing my time as always, the professor I was supposed to work with called me and asked me for my personal information to start working with her.

THE BAGEL POWERS ARE WAY TOO MUCH FOR THIS WORLD

[token-white-friend]

I GOT A JOB THE DAY AFTER MY QUEUE POSTED THIS THE FIRST TIME AND I JUST REALIZED IT WHEN I SAW IT AGAIN HOLY GOD

[noodle-dragon]

The bagel hasn’t let me down yet!

[blackcatgodess]

I got a job offer after reblogging the bagel. Believe in the bagel!

[anayely420]

[ephemeralhorror]

honestly open source will be the only thing anyone can ever trust in the end i guess

[ephemeralhorror]

see the thing about the fundamental foundational flaw of "the line must always go up" is that the consequences will come for everything you get attached to if they exist within that system, no matter what

[rlyehtaxidermist]

"but no one would ever-"

they always will. literally "no one would ever charge for a runtime" was the foundational defense of using proprietary libraries like unity.

maybe the current developers mean it when they say they won't. but there's no way to say if their next owners will be as free with the leash. and there is always a leash - the very nature of proprietary software is the leash. any control you relinquish will be used against you.

if you can't build it yourself, they can always bar the door.

[s4m1ks-deactivated20240502]

i will nvr understand society’s obsession with social media, especially insta where everything feels entirely superficial and mundane. it’s like living a fake reality by displaying a glorified version of yourself to the point where you forget who you are as a person
