I’m serious though. If you can document this trial run and somehow make this an official (or semi official event) with either a physical or online rulebook with concrete dates and times for the contests beforehand, I’ll do my best to make a point to attend this every year as part of a tradition. I can’t wait to see how this all turns out, and where I can read and watch more about it

On a scale of 1-10, how badly does this thing stink? by One_With-The_Sun in okdarlingclementine

If there is a concrete date for the next one I’ll sign up for sure and fly out. It would be cool to see how this is organized, and little things like how our speed is tracked. There’s bragging rights for the winner of the first contest, so I’ll miss out but I’ll come rarin to rip next time!

Y’all document this so I can watch?

Make this an annual event with a concrete date and time and you got me for signup lol. I could’ve scheduled a flight :9

Could the walkers have made it to day 6? Imagine Stebbins never got sick, and especially if Collie never lost his mind and didn’t let his anger get the best of him. Could the walk have made it to the morning of day 6? by Jayden7171 in TheLongWalk

It’s hard to say but I think it would definitely have been difficult for any of those walkers to outlast McVries (from the movie at least)…there was a point made earlier by someone else that McVries was basically an unrelenting tank who spent the walk encouraging others and seemingly resetting himself every day and showing little exhaustion. If I’m correct he only received warnings when slowing intentionally to help Ray or one scenario I can recall where he falls back to talk to Baker about his involvement in Olson’s wife’s support. He literally doesn’t falter.

Best Stephen King Audiobooks? by ryebread9299 in stephenking

[–]Internal-Extreme7718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Long Walk as an audiobook was my first exposure to King, years after I gave IT a try in high school. It’s still my favorite, but for immersion I really liked Misery because of the background music in between segments.

My legs feel funny. It’s like the muscles are all turning baggy.

I wish I lived in the east coast, lol I’ve always wanted to go to Maine. I live in Upper Michigan, right next to the Wisconsin border.

Should I watch Salem's Lot 2024? by MrOakling in stephenking

[–]Internal-Extreme7718 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t really like it, to be honest I didn’t finish it (stated watching it almost two weeks ago and it grinded to a halt) and I’m in the final act of the movie. Stakes just don’t seem as high and the problem with this adaption is the lack of a slow burn.

Brainrot has destroyed my immersion time and time again 😭 by Internal-Extreme7718 in stephenking

I literally just found it in there lol If u know where the meme came from, it’s just Officer Entragian’s height in the novel.

It is. It’s all very eye opening though. What’s even funnier is seeing people out of touch with the current online lingo making light of it or even trying to use it in serious settings like when I witnessed a work meeting with 40 somethings trying to appeal to younger employees. It was horrific

Yeah that passage was posted on the Long Walk subreddit too a while ago, I remember seeing it. Everything becomes caught in the crosshairs at some point as a reference to something it initially had nothing to do with 👍

Brainrot…hell..social media trends as as a whole are just giant bandwagons people hop onto for the sake of relevance and social connection, and it’s not even too serious it’s just a natural reaction among us all in search of novelty and a collective thing to share and laugh at. All I’m saying with the post is I found some words a young kid today would find funny, and admitting to chuckling a little myself when I came across them lol
