n9d was not very memorable for me so I think I probably agree with your taste overall. if you’re really only going to read one more then I would make sure not to skip The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet. I think Ghostwritten is one of his earliest books and I think it really shows.

It’s really really interesting to imagine a different order to read these stories when you think about which little overlaps you would or would not be able to appreciate.

One of my favorite things about his books is that all his gimmicks with the overlapping characters and the horologist stuff doesn’t really matter all that much if the story is just otherwise also extremely well-written. so the “gimmicks” really do feel like a bonus and not like the main point.

I have loved all of David Mitchell’s books but Cloud Atlas was the perfect one that I started with that made me want to see everything else he read. I just love the structure of it so so much.

This is what me and my partner say to each other when we drink good coffee.

oh cool, I can see that it’s similar Borderlands by the screenshots, and I can see that it’s like Star Citizen because it’s not actually released yet and they’re taking money for early access.

I will always remember the moment when I realized all the “Got Milk?” posters in my elementary and middle school cafeterias were industry propaganda.

Your bot couldn’t decide if it was quoting the questions marks or quoting what was inside the quotation marks so it compromised and only replicated the closing quotation mark.

This is my favorite one lol.

It’s actually called the “clockmakers four” or “watchmakers four.” it’s a thing.

Yeah it was a different time. The gameplay was solid though imo.

Hell yeah, diablo with guns.

Yeah it’s not really even a joke it’s just for the clapter. If someone said to you “it’s like we’re living in a dystopian future” it would be the same level of humor as this post.

The only thing putting it in a four-way venn diagram added was to explain to the reader that the person doesn’t know how venn diagrams work.

It repeats. The same “have you ever read Harry Potter” is three lines from the bottom too.

It looks like it repeats every ~5.5 lines if you track the “OK, I can’t handle typing like this anymore.” which is easier to spot with the capital “OK”.

Preach!

I’ve known some old people to put their bootloops in the freezer because they think it won’t go stale as fast.

Stressed Out by Twenty One Pilots.

The only reason I know the song is from someone sharing these same lines in a conversation about the same topic. I’m surprised there aren’t more artists bringing up the same experience in their music.

Ha! There’s probably some other layer of theology there when you consider that that G stands for “Gine” pronounced like “Djinn.”

What is “The Axiom of Tyler the Creator”?

Weirdly accusatory thing to say as an answer to a post explicitly asking which actions they should take to back up their words.
