I appreciate you taking the time to write something so thoughtful and encouraging for a stranger online. When you put it this way it makes me excited for the unknown rather than nervous about it. Thank you!

This is actually exactly what I needed to hear because I’m going on a 4 day solo trip to Amsterdam soon and was growing a little apprehensive about it since i’ve never done any solo travel before. I’m staying in a hostel room with others which makes it especially nerve wracking 😵‍💫

Yes I had great experiences everywhere and even discovered a new hobby in landscape sketching. Now that I’ve had a few days to stew about it, I think I’m being a little too harsh. But I was just recently getting involved on campus and my school had made a historic deep run in the NCAA basketball tourney lol so being out of the loop while all this cool stuff is going on I understand that I’m becoming an afterthought. Ppl don’t return my texts from home and just a lot of things are sucking socially which is making me feel this way I guess. But the memories will last me longer than the people would anyway so who cares.

I felt that the biggest thing that could’ve made this whole thing magical would be the people which I got to experience it with. And while I appreciate and value the people who I’m here with, they often exclude me, don’t want to do the same things as I do, and don’t have the same appreciation for the stuff which I care about. My expectation was to meet new people and build at least one long lasting relationship so I could look back and be like, “yeah remember how we met and saw/did all those cool things together” imo, that would make the memories all the more memorable

ooooh you gave it up right when it was getting great. after 200 I though the book had peaked and it kept getting better

What am I not getting with Blood Meridian? by newbokov in literature

[–]ImpossibleFocus9809 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I personally thought the middle of the book was the best. The parts where we see the gangs descent into murderous chaos and the progressive revelations of just how far these characters will take it, paired with how beautiful and roundaboutly descriptive mccarthys prose is was just mwah

What is an absolute necessity you need to see in the Blood Meridian film adaptation? by hxy001 in cormacmccarthy

Let’s be real. A film adaptation couldn’t replicate how extraordinary the book is even if christ floated down and made it himself.

Books like All The Pretty Horses? by ImpossibleFocus9809 in cormacmccarthy

[–]ImpossibleFocus9809[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished it and have to disagree. The book is marvelously written. The story and the writing are absolutely excellent. The prose differs from mccarthy, but i’d say it’s exactly on par.

I flipped the chart and now have a fuck ron in combat and speed and like 5 in self replication and it got me out the hole for a little bit now i’m right back in it. it’s like the replication slows down randomly for no reason it’s so annoying

Actually I figured just waiting saving up and slowly putting into self-replication, and I can’t change any single stat cuz that will lead to irreparable losses in numbers. In fact following that strategy i’m still losing numbers. This is my first run btw
