Is Kafka the dankest writer of the 20th century? Think of all the literary memes this guy created.

Joyce tried too hard to create dank memes with word games, Kafka had the dankness embedded within his soul.

Truly a danker for the ages

If Kafka heard you compliment him like this, you know what he'd say?

You're assuming that memes are immortal, let me disprove that:

>Minds also age, start forgetting what they once knew, acquire less and less new knowledge, and soon are dead. Dead minds make no further contributions to culture, and whatever contributions they did make before they died will likely be soon forgotten. There are some exceptions, or "memes," with considerable longevity, but never are such memes the result or outcome of a single mind, though they may be attributed to a mind, as in "Newtonian mechanics," "Marxism," or "Freudian slip."

>Compared to the lifetime of culture, even these fecund and longer-lived memes are of extreme short range and duration. How many memes will truly be "immortal"?

You know what? FUCK YOU.

I spent all my time playing games and browsing /v/, but one day I realized I was wasting my life. The people on v, and my gamer friends are far from intellectuals. I wanted to become a learned person. So I decide to sell my gaming PC and use the money for college related stuff. I quit v and come to lit thinking people are nice and smart here. But no I get fuckers like you telling me I should go fucking google shit. God damn it I'm so fucking pissed off right now you don't HAVE A CLUE. I am gonna fucking blow I swear, motherfucker. Shit.

Pick up the Vintage published complete collections of his short stories and his novels - it's all of his published work to date. I started reading his work with The Metamorphosis - it's only 50 pages and you have a good mixture of his dry sense of humour, irony and tragedy.

Joyce was dank as fuck, you don't know what you're talking about.

Take this part of Ulysses for example:

Tell him he may
See you in tea
Tell him from me.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't like open world games.

I'd rather have a tight narrative, cheesy or otherwise, than a thousand empty fetch quests. RDR is one of the few open world game I really enjoyed.

Probably the Bioshock games, Mass Effect series, Red Dead Redemption or maybe games adapted from books like The Dark Eye, I Have no Mouth and I Must Scream, Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth. As for Bioshock there was some proposal (though cancelled) to another sequel awhile back for a Kafka version called Bioshock Justice.

Plot-driven games aren't necessarily open world. I mentioned TES series but could also mention Mass Effect, KotOR, Indigo Prophecy, Still Life, etc.

What's so wrong with him? I like the mythical prose he uses, even if it's too obscure at times.
