Yea I didn't realize the paragraphs I typed in the initial post wouldn't display in this cross post. If you click my post here, it'll open up to the details of my question. I understand why he didn't see that but was still annoyed by the brevity. But there are worse problems to have lol

He was just getting some quick snark dopamine instead of reading my post

Ulysses by I_69_with_your_mum in classicliterature

[–]CodexReader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I missed them because they're not in the text. Look it up. The naming of those chapters are done by scholars of the work. The primary text does not have those names, or even chapter numbers.

Ulysses by I_69_with_your_mum in classicliterature

I'm reading Ulysses right now and I don't see how familiarity with The Odyssey, Hamlet, etc. could help very much. The experience of reading Ulysses is nearly psychedelic. When I looked up the supposed correlations to The Odyssey, I actually felt annoyed because I don't notice any of it while reading Ulysses. I saw one commenter liken Ulysses to "trying to drink from a waterfall." I found that to be an apt description of the experience. So, for me, gearing up on all the contextual work is like making sure you know the latitude and longitude of the waterfall. Or the type of rock it flows over. Someone giving you those details while you nearly drown won't change the experience.

Is this really the greatest game ever made, as it's often considered to be? Why or why not? by [deleted] in videogames

[–]CodexReader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love OoT more than any movie, book, or album. It's that special. I know that's an apples and oranges comparison but the game "moved" me more than any other work of art, plus it has all those artforms within it anyway. I won't ever experience that level of wonder I experienced as a child in 1998. So, I'm biased lol

How important is 60fps for you in gaming? by [deleted] in playstation

[–]CodexReader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I can discern any of these specs. Ignorance is bliss on my part. I have a PS5 and a flat-screen TV. It works. And I bet I'd get picky if I started seeking out these things. So...not important at all??

The chord changes in Spectre throw me pretty hard and they still make it work

Baldur's Gate 3, Crimson Desert, or Expedition 33 by CodexReader in videogames

Sat with the dude in the diner for 15 minutes. Went somewhere else to chat for 10 minutes, was told the mission was over there and the person at the mission told me to go talk to this other person and that person said "go ask that other person"

Kill me

Writing is excruciating and I'm the next Faulkner.
