Those sick spins are far superior artistically to anything that Pynchon's managed to cobble together during the past 20 years.

Just because you don't get this scene doesn't mean it's bad.

This is pretty much the reason I'm a big reader

The amount of text, lore, and dialogue this game has rivals so many things that literature has ever produced

It's pretty much a book with a little movie in between a few hours

The best example, Journal Updater '98, is merely adequate fantasy fiction. That's the high water point.

Pynchon is fucking canon you shitlord. If we had a Pantheon of great writers he's in there

You can't compare literature and games
