>video games only arrived in time for the cultural death of a decaying world
Imagine if vidya had gotten started a century earlier, when our creative spirit was still raging. Video games are a medium of endless potential, and can engage you and tell stories in ways no other medium possibly can. Truly life-changing kino would've come out by now, to appreciated by scholars for centuries to come. Genuinely tragic.

it seemed to him that he saw the twenty-seven irrevocable years diminished and foreshortened beyond them in turn, as if his life were to lie passively on his back as though he floated effortless and without volition upon an unreturning stream. He seemed to see them: the empty years in which his youth had vanished—the years for wild oats and for daring, for the passionate tragic ephemeral loves of adolescence, the girl- and boy-white, the wild importunate fumbling flesh, which had not been for him; lying, so he thought, not exactly with pride and certainly not with the resignation which he believed, but rather with that peace with which a middle-aged eunuch might look back upon the dead time before his alteration, at the fading and (at last) edgeless shapes which now inhabited only the memory and not the flesh: /I have repudiated money and hence love. Not abjured it, repudiated. I do not need it; by next year or two years or five years I will know to be true what I now believe to be true: I will not even need to want it./

You watch them all get significant others, break up with them, get married, have kids, buy houses, get new jobs, move away, and become something totally alien to how you feel. Meanwhile it's just the same threads, the same albums, the same empty bedroom. Anons meme about NPCs, but I feel like the true NPC.

I had not, but on your suggestion I just have now read it and I take it all back. What a wonderful story.

I'm just bracing myself for the news that I'm a worse writer than the average /lit/ poster

psychedelics are satanic. the machine elves are just demons and your body is a good thing.

"Do you know why I believe in the novel? It's a democratic shout. Anybody can write a great novel, one great novel, almost any amateur off the street. I believe this, George. Some nameless drudge, some desperado with barely a nurtured dream can sit down and find his voice and luck out and do it. Something so angelic it makes your jaw hang open. The spray of talent, the spray of ideas. One thing unlike another, one voice unlike the next. Ambiguities, contradictions, whispers, hints. And this is what you want to destroy."
