modern masterpiece

10/10

Felicia is truly the voice of a generation.

>>6976564
If I had a pair of pliers and her face available for a couple of hours, I'd show you a modern masterpiece.

If only all women could be as sharp as her.

GTFO, Felicia.

I haven't read it, but let me give you my opinion on it anyway.

Can't be worse than this.

>>6976789
I looked up the author. Somehow makes the book seem worse..

Why the fuck would you do that?

Probably because she's smoking hot, intelligent, and a nerd just like we are

>>6976881
I'm not a nerd

>>6976883
If you like books, then you're not just a nerd, you're SUCH a nerd

>>6976887
I don't like books
I only started reading on a serious level yesterday

>>6976903
>reading on a serious level yesterday
So two days ago you were not a nerd, but you are today :)

>>6976881
I was curious to see if it's as good as reviewers are saying
Spoiler: it's terrible
enjoy!

I'd rather have my testicles eviscerated in a blender than read this garbage.

Fuck, I'm seriously considering buying this book, but I'm sure I will regret it

>>6976839
lmao. Cyber rape.

A detective is 'looking into it'

>>6976839
She doesn't bring up that many people playing female characters are actually men hoping to get raped.

That's what I would be doing at least.

Shd pads out her books by posting screencaps of her tweets in it.

>>6977140
I can't tell if you added those arrows there because you hate her or if she added them because she thinks they're funny.

>>6977146
These aren't edited, the book is full of screencaps and photos that she scribbled on. It's almost more like a scrapbook than a text narrative.

>>6976557
I think you're a faggot for posting this shit over and over again.

>>6977169

Will this ebonics nigger garbage ever end? Now people say "tho" and "vidya" too. I think "vidya" makes me most angry because it's almost like a child's way of saying it and akin to "veggies."

>>6976839
You don't have to play a modded map

>>6976881
I hate nerd culture

>>6978276
Why anon? I'm excited that people are finally taking my hobbies seriously!

>>6978268
lls why this nigga so mad tho smh

>>6978282
It's based off of conspicuous consumption and following trends.

Most of these "geeks" create entire identities out of the things that they buy. It's pretty pathetic my mans.

I fucking hate nerd culture, I can't wait for it to die.
My gf is partially into that shit and I don't know why, and she was shocked when I expressed my dislike of it, saying that I'm a nerd because I like to read, can play instruments, and play video games (I'm phasing this out of my life anyways, not like it matters, the majority of people play them nowadays anyways).
If I were to be labeled I want to be known as bohemian.

>>6978318
The change began when household computersl started becoming a source of entertainment rather than utility. 'Nerd culture', which was previously frowned upon, became something extremely versatile and accessible. All cohesive digital cultures were fragmented and any attempts at making one leads to it becoming a disgusting paste of anime screenshots and irony or a haven for the nu-'nerds'.
If you want to be knowm as a bohemian, learn three languages and busk on Paris streets. If you don't want to be known as an advocate of nerd culture, get a new girlfriend. Preferrably one who's never touched a computer for more than two hours at a time.

>intelligent AND cute
Where do some people get off?

>>6977600
I think having his testicles eviscerated is his fetish :^)

>>6976881
geek and nerd are different things

there is an important difference between spending a whole day reading a work of philosophy and spending a whole day watching Game of Thrones

the main difference is that one takes mental effort and is done with a desire to improve your understanding of the world you live in, and one is a whole day spent giving up on yourself

This is not necessarily a difference between books and other mediums. Spending a lot of time watching only the best film is going to improve your outlook more than reading Dan Brown. The difference comes down, essentially, to a difference in self-discipline. Are you willing to try things you don't immediately like in order to learn how to appreciate life in some new way?

Geek culture answers with an emphatic "No." Geek culture is about being the weird and quirky person you already are and not feeling ashamed about spending a whole evening on your couch with pizza and snacks and Netflix. Nerd culture is about learning. Their only similarity is abnormality, which is not a thing in common at all if one considers that there is such a thing as being above or below normality.

I don't mean to sound too harsh on geeks. All of us necessarily fall short of what we ought to be. And there are things more important than being really smart—like being generous, or honest. But strictly speaking, nerd culture encourages virtue while geek culture encourages idleness. Morally they could not be more different.

>>6979598
might be sarcastic/ironic. i could hope.

>I don’t know if it was a cumulative effect of the breakfast trauma, or a mini aneurysm, but in the middle of the night something inside me snapped. I woke up at 3: 54 a.m. with a full-on panic attack.

>and a huge epiphany: I was going to die someday. I was going to END. And I know you can say that to yourself a million times, Live for the now!—I mean, it’s the message of half the Ben Stiller movies ever made— but you can’t understand something unless you FEEL it. Deep in your bones.

>For some reason that night, I felt it. A vivid terror gripped me. I was mortal, and I was going to die. I was twenty-eight years old. Old. Near death, in 1557 terms. Every sleep was bringing me closer to the grave, and if I didn’t do something with my life RIGHT NOW, the totality of “Felicia Day” would add up to nothing. This might sound extreme, but that voice is my day-to-day inner dialogue to myself anyway, just magnified a healthy percent. A milder version accompanies me everywhere I go. It always has. I’ve never been in a car accident , because on every street (especially skinny neighborhood ones) I always picture a child or animal dashing out in front of my car, trying to commit suicide on my front grill.

>Anyway, as the cat started to cough up a hair ball in the next room, at 4: 00 a.m. on December 21, 2006, I decided that if I didn’t accomplish something huge by the end of the year, I would die a failure.

What? Does she think people only lived to 30 or something in the medieval times?

>>6982399
Do you think 1557 is medieval?

>>6982444

No, I didn't mean it as "medieval" but it was the first thing that popped into my head (even though I was 57 years off technically) when talking about what I assume is shortened lifespan misconception.

>>6976881
>smoking hot
>intelligent
>a nerd just like we are
Wrong on all accounts

>>6979264
I would say that it's actually the other way around. I always understood that geeks are the scientific, learning type, and nerds are the yugi-oh, anime type.

Is it not? What country are you from?

>>6982478
Haha I love Adventure Time too we're such nerds

>>6980825
That bit's followed by what's probably my favorite passage in the book.

>>6982524

>scripting everything and dominating it and the actors instead of letting them develop what they think and relying on their acting skills

I assume it's for that The Guild shit though.

>>6982552
She didn't even have actors yet fuckhead, it was a pilot script that she had to write before starting anything else.

>Morally they could not be more different.

>>6976831
Isn't the "strong female character" trope the same type of female characters in rape explotation films?

They both get hurt at the start and find great strength in it. They then go and physically hurt/kill the people who hurt them to show that strength.

>>6982488
Toronto. Here it's the other way around.

>>6979264
When I've heard geek and nerd used they have pretty much meant the same thing.

>>6982761

nerd

An insignificant, foolish, or socially inept person; a person who is boringly conventional or studious. Now also: spec. a person who pursues an unfashionable or highly technical interest with obsessive or exclusive dedication.

geek

b. Freq. depreciative. An overly diligent, unsociable student; any unsociable person obsessively devoted to a particular pursuit (usually specified in a preceding attrib. noun).

Almost the same word but the meaning is diverging in one important way. This difference is evident in the way the OED says "highly technical interest" about the nerd's obsession, whereas a geek can be devoted to any "particular pursuit".

Both imply abnormal obsession, but nerd tends to imply intelligence allied to obsession whereas geek does not.

I read a few chapters, and what would drive someone who is such an OCD and anxiety ridden wreck to pursue a career in fucking showbusiness of all places?

>I am shy and awkward and painfully unassertive and have no friends
>TIME TO MOVE TO HOLLYWOOD

I know there's some "follow your dreams, do what makes you happy" platitude here but I don't understand how that personality and that ambition even connect in the first place.

>>6983438
It seems to me that it is an act; if that were her personality it would be as ridiculous for her to pursue such a path as it would be for a voracious extrovert to strive for an ascetic life among monks in the depths of Asia. From what I understand, she is adopting and exaggerating qualities that are common in this 'internet generation' so as to appear relatable to those willing to extol anyone who is of such a contemptible character. She, like many others who have grown dependent on the attention of the rabble, has confined herself to this excessive portrayal and now cannot revert back to her natural disposition lest she returns to the insignificance her deluded mind allows her to believe she has escaped.

>>6977140

how do you manage to put two comma splices in one sentence?

>>6982444
In all fairness the armor and clothes of the 1500s is what people visualize when they think of medieval times even though its not historically correct

>>6982747
Huh. Im America the ones you describe as "Geeks" call themselves Nerds (in the most obnoxious ways possible) while "Geek" retains the "good with tech/knowledgeable" reputation

She's interesting in a way because she's one of the few girls who enjoy anime, video games, sex, etc. while not being an absolutely hideous lard,

Note: I don't like anime but I would date her.

>>6985269
she actually doesn't like anime at all

>>6985205
Not now in the era of social media and effeminate posturing of men and women alike, where the majority of people claim enjoyment for public status rather than actual personal preference.

It's like how on the new music streaming services you don't simply mark something as a track you enjoy, you have to "<3 LOVE IT" instead.

her book and personality is offensive to me because i actually have the problems she complains about.

normies need to stay in their lane

I just find her really tiresome at this stage. When she was in her twenties making The Guild then sure her quirky personality was pretty cute but now she's pushing forty and still doing the same act and it's just so uncomfortable to watch. She can't keep doing this forever so I wonder how she's going to spend her 40's, 50's

>>6983518

>he thinks you should do whatever you like

I guess no one read the book then

>>6979280
many people have to read Shakespeare since it is assigned to them, so there will be low ratings from people who would have never read it by choice

however felicia day is well known and her book title makes it pretty clear what kind of book that is, so people who think that it sounds godawful aren't going to read it

>>6986948
No, but he gives an asinine reason for doing so. Nothing wrong with playing actual quality video games, just stay away from AAA cancer and you're golden

>>6985269
She's exactly the same as all these other fucking "im such a nerrrrd lol xD" types; they're more about the image than actually enjoying the things they claim to be a fan of (note that I'm limiting this to just women). Couple that with the hyperactive quirky attitude and I've yet to see anything even remotely unique about her.

>>6979264

>Geek culture is about being the weird and quirky person you already are and not feeling ashamed about spending a whole evening on your couch with pizza and snacks and Netflix.

I hate this . . . when you try to criticize people like that they think you hate them because they're different, but what they don't realize is that they themselves are basically the same as an average joe sixpack spending all day watching football and drinking beer, but instead theyre watching some shitty syfy show and eating hot pockets. Everything in Geek culture is so lazily made and exploitative, the artists don't seem to have any passion at all for what they do . . . just throw in a bunch of memes like zombies and ninjas or whatever and people will buy it.

Two years or so ago I was into nerd culture.
Now I have one friend who's into it, and I hate it whenever he's like "oh, that's a cool shirt, it has a franchise mashup on it!" or "hey, let's watch Dr Who and Adventure Time" (like Adventure Time, just don't have to fucking geek out over it).
To me, it's a staple of young men who refuse to grow up and just float in that 17-19ish limbo where you're a boy who goes "oh, *real* men don't have to be like that. Growing up is an individual thing"

Nerd Culture is despicable.

Stephen Fry's books are actually good. We had his intro to poetry (or whatever) in some class, and I enjoyed it because Fry doesn't go "Ooooooh literary studies is just as much as science as physics or maths"

>>6979280
I'm not upset that Lear is just 3.88, that's fine. But why would that shit be rated 4.45? There's only very few books that I'd rate higher than 4, and that's just because I like them, not even because they're necessarily masterpieces.

>>6990064
>Everyone in literary studies ever
Any examples of any serious writers making this claim? Seems unlikely.

>>6990143
Writers are not part of literary studies the same way that quarks are not physicists. I'm talking about the academic group.

Are there a lot of people here who have never had a "real" job, I.E. exchanging hours of white or blue collar labor for a wage?

I'm reading how much Felicia struggles to scrounge up $1,500 or $2,000 at different points and I realized that she "worked" hard in school and hard at social networking/auditions/etc. but she never had a conventional job a day in her life and I can't gauge how unusual that is.

>>6990168
I meant academic writers, not poets or novelists. Kinda thought that was obvious from context, tbh

>>6976839
> floating cone
> guy twerking in front of another guy, both fully clothed
> dog humps thin air
> "eerily realistic"

What's the difference between these people are the out of date conservative politicians that believe video games cause school shootings?

>>6976881
Remember when "nerd" or "geek" was an insult used towards yourself because you enjoyed reading or you got good results due to your hard work, before it became something printed on dude-bro sweaters?

If anyone has this on their shelves, you should disown them completely, no matter what relationship you have with them.

If your daughter is a trans-rainbow-coloured-otherkin-moleman with Hitler for a head mate, you should disown them too.

Well 1557 is during the renaissance, but yes, people are retarded and believe that the average life expectancy for people of a given era is the age that most people live too. This is because your average street idiot is too dumb or too uneducated to realize that there used to be a very high rate of death amongst small children and infants due to disease.

First ones I can think of are Nünning and, if I'm not mistaken, Eagleton as well.
It's also not just the serious writers, it's also lecturers, professors, students.

>>6990341
Do you have citations of either of those saying

> literary studies is just as much as science as physics or maths
?

>It's also not just the serious writers, it's also lecturers, professors, students
Lecturers and professors -are- writers. They're unlikely not to have published anything.

The idea of the 'dark ages' is renaissance propaganda. The middle ages were absolutely a thing, you idiot.

>>6990366
>the middle ages are called the middle ages because fuck all happened
lmao

>thinking the Renaissance was ever a thing

>>6990380

>thinking history exists

>>6990389

>thinking

>>6990395
oh shit, is philosophy a scham too?

>>6990353
Welp, if you count lecturers and professors I have tons of quotes that would mean nothing to you because they are not published.
As for Nünning, can't be arsed to go and grab my copy of their introduction, and as for Eagleton I said I wasn't sure.
Either you're one of the annoying guys I was talking about or you've never been to a literary studies class if you don't know what I'm talking about.

So who is the better writer?

Felicia seems all sweet and friendly in person but I bet once she gets home she tells stories to Patrick Sheane Duncan about how pathetic her fans are

MAZIONGA

>>6990214
Other people actually listen to these people.

>>6990969
How does she talk to a guy who hasn't been seen in public in 20 years

Fuck off, retards, the Dark Ages were a thing, nobody cares about your shitty science and technology you STEMautists, only literature, philosophy, and the other arts matter.

>>6992008
>there has been no art before the renaissance
for fuck's sake educate yourself you fucking retard.

>>6992068
>there has been no good art during the dark ages
ftfy

>>6992084
I'm sorry you can't appreciate medieval painting, architecture or music. Doesn't mean it's not good :^)

>>6992008

But one of the best stories of all time came from the "dark ages:" Beowulf.

>>6979264
This. Geek culture is just manchildren discovering what makes them manchildren and celebrating it instead of growing up and learning to change.

>>6992415
Why are giving any credence to his sheer ineptitude by nitpicking it instead of completely dismissing it as a misguided product of complete ignorance? We both know there is no such thing as “Dark Ages”. Leave this retard in its stupidity.

>there are people in this thread who are EXTREMELY butthurt about the fact that Felicia Day thought that 28 would be considered "old" in 1557

Dude, fucking WHY? It was an afterthought of an afterthought of an idea in one sentence of her book, which I would bet you has got probably 500 statements as or more retarded than that one.

>>6992532
So it's okay to be misinformed and incorrect then, is that what you're saying?

>>6992554
The WHOLE BOOK is misinformed and incorrect, judging by the screenshots. Why are you all honing in on the most autistic piece of information possible? The bitch probably knows more about Dungeons and Dragons than she knows about the 16th century!

>>6992532
>this is the first time i've seen a thread derail

Medieval art is shit and the censorship of anything of anti-Aristotle was terrible.
>>6992415
That's an exception

or began

The Dark Ages was a time period in Europe, it's like saying that the antebellum period never existed because it only occured in the US.

>>6992962
Nice meme

describe the dark ages for me and then tell me why you would call it the dark ages.

I'm sorry that you're an autistic pleb anon, but please don't pollute this board with your shitposting.

>>6992810
Listen, faggot. We literally just had a medieval lit thread yesterday. Plenty of good literature is from the middle ages, even if you're too much of autist to admit it.

>>6993730
mind linking me to it? i'm interested.

Did you not read my fucking post?
Retard

>>6993730
no, you just proved that the dark ages were filled with a bunch of manchild sagas and genre fiction of no merit. literally the only thing that the dark ages were good for was transmitting the works of antiquity to the renaissance. they created nothing of value.

>>6996891
>>6996904
Renaissance provided nothing of worth, it's just a bunch of wanking over old cultures.

:^)

>>6996911
Epic contrarian shitpost bro

>>6997241
I quite agree, it breaks the monotony of your moaning wonderfully.

>>6996911
what was the dark ages but wanking over worthless biblical culture?
