My one about the guy from Nantucket's cock is way better than this shit

Grow up. I listen to audiobooks in public. I might as well be listening to music to the people around me. Meanwhile I'm exploring some new world. I feel no need to make strangers think I'm deep or smart. They only get to know that if they ordain to speak to me.

>If the library hadn't had burned down and we were a 1000 years more advanced, religion wouldn't even exist.
This is what atheists really believe lmao.

>This decade Evola will be relevant i swear guize
t. underage
Many, many right wing nuts have been trying in vain to pass Evola as something other than a snake oil seller since at the very least the early 70's.
Evola's comes and goes as a trend whenever there's a new generation of gullible idiots, then those idiots get shamed into irrelevance once again because there's not a single worthwhile thought in Evola's mindless, new age hogwash, might as well make a Harry Potter philosophical movement or turn to Scientology.

I've been hearing this song since ages and it never, ever turns out to be right, of course now you'll screech how I've been filtered/I'm a leftist/Marxist/Liberal/Jew/Tranny or all of the above, but nothing will actually change for you people.
Read Eliade instead, he was also a much better writer in the frst place, Evola's a slog to read in italian and I don't want to imagine how it is translated.

>The questions of agency and free-will alone make the medium an absolute standout in terms of potential, and some games (MGS2 and Bioshock come to mind) have done a great job at engaging this.
If you think MGS2 and Bioshock (especially Bioshock) are somehow "artistic achievements", then you can go back to /v/ just like OP.

>Reminder that Ted is ultimately a brainlet
the anime poster says about the 160+ iq math prodigy that is respected in his respective academic circles.
>and everything he tried to say in his manifesto was said better and more eloquently by other, smarter thinkers.
doesn't matter, his works garnered attention because he took action rather than contemplated.

Lmao. Humanism at this point works just like a religion would. It leaves no space for any self-interest.

Not to mention that "SFF declined in popularity" is quite a moronic claim. The only thing in decline about genre fiction is the writing quality.

>book is obviously a NaNoWriMo project that got fleshed out a bit
>book hasn't been edited
>genre: young adult
>child author
>YA but it's also a ripoff of whatever youth media franchise is popular now
>author is too incompetent a writer to incorporate their politics as anything other than a "LIBERALS/MEDIA/PACIFISTS BAD!" bludgeon
>the fantasy religion is a modern religion with different names
>book is about a assassin or thief but they're just a generic hero who uses two swords and climbs on roofs
>SF but it's blatantly fantasy with not-jedi flying around using photon wings and energy bows
>Lists with This Book: litRPG
>anybody who disagrees with the main character is doomed to failure/humiliation/death
>Author reviewed their own book on goodreads
>"disclaimer: I went to school with the author and we're best friends but they asked for a honest review and it's 20/10 stars!"
>author paid for 3D poser at instead of real art
>top search result for reviews is theodre haybale
>"published by niche press inc, a Delaware shell company"
>book description references firefly, hunger games, LOTR, whatever
>back of book: "My agent gave me $50 to say a nice thing about this book!" raves famous author
>author repeats stuff well known to be false like "knights needed cranes to be put onto their horses" or that wife-stealing nobility thing
>characters in a fantasy/pre-modern setting have modern morality or behave like Victorian puritans
>author decides that the crews of "age of sail in space" starships are illiterate
>book 2 of 15 in the overwrought fantasy name cycle
>LE EPIC STEAMPUNK ADVENTURES
>cthulhu mythos but it's adventures where the creeping cosmic horror can be fought
>author thinks "pulp" means ERB and Robert Howard and not potboilers printed on the cheapest possible paper
