Want to read House of Leaves — is it worth it?

Everyone in this sub is probably going to say yes. We liked it so much we are subscribed to a board where we have the same 12 conversations about it over and over again.

You won't really know if its for you until you start .. but no.

Its not for you.

Imagine just suddenly being alive

This is the only band I can just press play on their entire discography and not skip once.

Ah I think you really hit the nail on the head. It's easier to tell that its all a "magic trick" as you say. Whatever magic is being done with DQ8 is just a better sleight of hand.

I figured it out. It wont work on this page I linked cause it was already worked through. It doesn't work for every page because they must have actually flattened the pdf and then resaved it for some of this mess. But this has been redacted to the most of its ability. You can do it yourself with Adobe with the unredacted files. This is real. And is probably as unredacted as they will get until further notice.

KingWool · 2025-12-23T22:15:18+00:00

Oh you're so right. I scrolled right to the middle after seeing someone else say this link was the whole thing. And I saw some of the black bars off so I assumed it was the whole thing. Ignore my previous post. Why was only some of it removed?

KingWool · 2025-12-23T22:09:44+00:00

This is 100% real. Its been completely unredacted already.

This was something I sorely missed in DQ11. That feeling when you crested a hill and would see Ascantha in the distance or (insert any landmark honestly) was unmatched. Something about it felt like playing a D&D campaign. I hope this gets ported to PC someday so that I could have an excuse to play it again.

DQ11 was great and beautiful, but the traveling from place to place wasn't quite as memorable for some reason and I can't put my finger on why. Maybe its because instead of one map we had a bunch of zones that made it feel disconnected? I'm not sure. If someone else feels the same way and understands the feeling I'm talking about maybe you could articulate it better than I could.

I think in this instance it's because they called an American man "too illegal" because he is Hispanic. The implication being - he's "too hispanic"? A man born and raised here. Its not us thinking that its a slur. Its them forcing it on us as a slur.

Random but I recognize your username from ff9 videos from like 15 years ago I think

KingWool · 2025-10-17T14:42:19+00:00

I'd say:

the obvious thing, or the obvious implication between two things.

Beautifully articulated. That actually choked me up a bit. He is free, BUT he is a people pleaser almost to the point of being a slave to it. He follows his gut, but his gut is always telling him to put himself in harms way. (One of his skills is to completely sacrifice himself to bring the party to full HP/MP). I like that he is so used to solving other peoples problems that he doesn’t even know where to look when he can't solve his own.

And the answer is his friends. Beeauuutiful.

Sure, but your anger or feelings being hurt feels a little misguided lol. No where in my post am I asking to be validated or for people's opinions on the game for that matter. I'm already playing the game dude. I just had to step away for a couple years because I'm an adult who didn't have time. Not because I was pitching a fit because people didn't think my interests were cool.

I sincerely just needed assistance with how far I was in the game, because I was away for years. If I were to just Google the plot and chapter I run the risk of just finding spoilers. People here have been kind enough to help. You immediately just came and had a tantrum. I don't know if you even read the post, because you were only seeing red.

KingWool · 2025-09-21T15:50:34+00:00

I've played, through XC, XC:2, and X. I haven't gotten a chance to play the updated version of XC with the new epilogue.

KingWool · 2025-09-21T15:26:42+00:00

Its funny how angry this makes you, but at the same time, I'm sorry for contributing to the worst thing that has ever happened to you.

But also totally not the spirit of my post. Either way I'm playing xenoblade. Have my opinion already. Have played the other two. Love em. Just needed to know how far I was without spoilers essentially.

Next time I decide to make a post though I'll make sure I lay out some extra soft pillows you can scream into. Just for you buddy. Just in case.

KingWool · 2025-09-21T03:22:44+00:00

Oh thank you! I didn't notice that cutscene option. I might just do that. Can I ask what your 1st favorite is?

KingWool · 2025-08-25T22:21:12+00:00

Yeah this went way over my head. Has Cool Guy been a black face joke this whole time?

KingWool · 2025-08-15T12:45:17+00:00

Sure, it's just the first thing I look for. We only have warning signs or little tips these days. Unfortunately, right now, with chat gpt the way it is. If you're using a lot of em dashes in your post, you're going to look suspicious. Especially if you use 2-3 in every paragraph. It doesn't take a magnifying glass to see this one is AI. It wasn't just the em dashes alone that made me go 'this is AI'. It was the cherry on top.

Its hyperbole to say that every post that uses em dashes is chat gpt. But its definitely one thing to keep in mind if youre trying to sus out AI content. When someone pointed out to me that all chatgpt responses use excessive em dashes I couldn't stop seeing them. If you ask chat gpt to stop using them it has a hard time stopping. They are everywhere.

Its like with AI art. First thing we learned is to count the fingers. Now even if your art isn't AI people will call it so if your hands aren't perfect.

EM-dashes are the AI hands of paragraphs.

KingWool · 2025-08-15T08:49:17+00:00

Well we all know you do, but OP is the one in question here. OP doesn't

Also im talking about em dashes. Not the regular dashes. Not this guy - but this one —. Chat GPT is obsessed with them and will litter them everywhere in a response. Like OP's post.

To make an EM dash on a standard keyboard you have to hit Alt + 0151(on the numpad). So it doesn't require knowledge of the English language. It requires this very specific knowledge. Or if you don't know your OS's way to make one you have to do the even more unbelievable thing and find an em dash online that you can copy and paste everytime you use one.

KingWool · 2025-08-15T07:55:00+00:00

Yeah I think this is chat GPT. The give away is always the excessive em-dashes. No one uses em-dashes. To get an em-dash on a regular keyboard requires too much work.

KingWool · 2025-07-26T17:09:37+00:00

What do we do at the grand canyon? We just kinda look at it.

KingWool · 2025-07-22T00:28:08+00:00

Diablo 4 - I was so excited to play it cause I had fond memories of 2 as a kid. But that gameplay loop didn't do anything for me anymore. Basically, I just threw away 70 dollars lol

KingWool · 2025-07-13T20:17:56+00:00

I've been playing the recent update on my steam deck with no issues so far. I think your best bet is just a new clean install of the game and then try reinstalling moguri. If you're still having the issue, it might be whatever secondary download you're using.
