I've tried to get into Elden Rings like 5 times and I suck so bad at it and it gives me no indications of how to not suck that I just give up

I read the first hundred pages of The Road last year, and read the first hundred pages of Blood Meridian this year, and in both instances, gave up, because the books never clicked. Lyrical writing, but the characters are reduced to way down Maslow's hierarchy, and the tone is so relentlessly bleak, with almost no humanity breaking through, it was difficult to feel anything besides the flint clicking against the cold steel in the overwhelming darkness. I know many of you love it, but to me, it's overwrought, overstylized, and overhyped.

About to start Blood Meridian for the first time. Give me all your best advice.

@SitLibertas @christopherrufo The last 3 pages of The Road seem to cut against this, as does Stella Maris's vision of the archangel's gate.
McCarthy is bleak as hell, which darkness throw his heroes into chiaroscuro
English
@christopherrufo I believe McCarthy was largely a misanthrope and an extreme materialist. He was a first-rate writer in terms of command of the language. But he did not believe it was worth noting the inner lives of his characters. He was Gnostic but without the desire for transcendence.

I’m curious, does anyone remember Psalty the Singing Songbook? Kids Praise music for Children’s Church?
If so, does this bring back positive or negative memories for you?

Millennial males in the US read the Bible most frequently as a demographic with 57% reading it weekly. That’s over double Boomer males. In 2025 every demographic increased its Bible reading which correlates with record Bible sales. Why would this be?

I know it's probably just a funny coincidence, but given its strikingly similarity, I'd kindly like to have @adsk4 confirm or dismiss the possibility that this could've been an inspiration 😊

Writers should not publish for free. They should not publish at all. The only acceptable form of publication for a true writer is posthumous, ideally against their own express wishes

Powerful hero units in RTS games are a curse and a blight. They’re the equivalent of the rightly-loathed “escort quests” from shooters.
Either you can’t let the hero die or lose the scenario or you can let him die, but then feel dumb the rest of the scenario.
Trust me - I produced many a campaign with heroes like this. Joan of Arc, for instance. I hated it then but couldn’t figure out how to do a scenario about Joan of Arc going to Blois without Joan of Arc. Mea culpa.

I know some earlier RTS games had "boss" units or campaign-dependent special units, but - correct me if I’m wrong here - Warcraft III seems to be the first to pioneer the deep, RPG-infused, gameplay-defining hero system that reshaped the genre. Earlier games had precursors, but nothing matched its scope or lasting impact. I wonder if hero units were discussed among development teams in earlier RTS games (e.g. Dune II, Age of Empires, Command & Conquer, StarCraft, etc.) but ultimately not implemented; or if they were simply never considered to begin with. When you play RTS games, do you think they generally benefit from special hero units, or do you think regular units without powerful heroes that can level up, gain skills, XP and HP are generally better for balance and gameplay?

The Scrubs revival is great so far! However, the actors all seem to have visibly aged, which is weird because I haven't gotten any older since I began watching the show when it first aired.

SILENT HILL 2 has now surpassed 5 million units across all platforms - a huge moment for the remake! 🟥

@RealEmirHan The juxtaposition of natural beauty and industrial sharpness is the reason Lynchian is an adjective.
His strength was to unify opposites through sheer force of artistry.

Twin Peaks intro is just so otherworldly that you can’t help but feel hypnotized and pulled into its eerie atmosphere.
David Lynch told the composer:
"We’re in dark woods. From behind a tree appears a girl, Laura Palmer, slowly walking toward the camera.”
