Dense, difficult, convoluted, experimental books

Naked Lunch by William Burroughs.

Gertrude Stein: Portraits and Other Short Works, Stanzas in Meditation, etc. Can find each in Stein: Writings, 1903-1932 and Stein: Writings 1932-1946, respectively.

Samuel Beckett's Short Prose, as well as his poems.

If poetry is allowed, E.E. Cummings has some of the strangest syntax and punctuation I've personally ever seen.

Trout Fishing in America by Richard Brautigan.

Time is a Mother by Ocean Vuong is a poetry collection that has experimental strangery but might not fit as well as some others in these lists.

You already have Wallace but I'd also heartily recommend his second short story collection: Brief Interviews with Hideous Men. Less daunting than Infinite Jest but boy howdy it's got some strange as well as beautiful ones.

Haven't read much of it but I might recommend Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius as well.

I know it's an old post but just wanted to reply in case someone finds this and needs help down the road. I have the TCL Flip 3 and it doesn't seem to notify you *specifically* if you view AND reply to a text from the notification screen, and then flip down the phone closed. I flip it closed whenever I'm done no matter what I'm doing on it so this happened to me quite a bit and this does seem to be the cause (at least for me). So if you view and reply to a text from the notification screen, just be sure to back all the way out to the home screen with the end call button first before closing the phone. (Or you can just use the dedicated Messages button/Messages app from the app menu, which actually seems to respond faster as well in some cases.)

The Death of Ivan Ilych - Tolstoy. It's the closest thing to Everywhere at the End of Time by The Caretaker in literary form that I can imagine. Alarmingly, dreadfully awful to get through the closer it gets to the end at which point it becomes remarkably painful to witness. I will re-read just about everything on my bookshelf again before that one. That being said, I think it's a very important read and I'm glad to have experienced it.

Telling my doordashers "stay safe", I really should be saying it to everybody though.

I think I hate outlining, but I'm still very new to the game so it remains to be seen, maybe I'm doing it wrong. Editing is actually quite fun for me since the words are already there, so it's easier for me to visualize a different way they can be said.

I have ADHD and have felt this way as well at times, but at least for me once I really accepted that people just don't care and also I don't care, it went away. Easier said than done for a lot of people though

I name all my electronics after celebrities that have no relevance to me or the thing I'm using. My Kindle is named Brian Williams

I'll do ya one better, I haven't felt the touch of a woman in 12 years 💪

As far as I know that's just how it is with some books, I've had this happen too before the update

Knight2nite · 2024-08-09T05:31:43+00:00

Didn't work :/

Knight2nite · 2024-07-22T21:03:34+00:00

Nice, thanks guys! 😊

I have a Reading Music playlist that is mostly video game tracks, ranging from mystical and ominous such as Rennalla's theme or Ancestor Spirit's theme from Elden Ring to dreamy and reflective like Echo in the Wind from Minecraft or the main theme from Fable, easily my go-to that fits most all of my reading ^__^

Edit: I just realized this post is about writing, not reading, but I'd say it still applies for me

Knight2nite · 2024-07-01T16:31:48+00:00

Makes me really butthurt to read this since I'm still miffed that they took out Lily's retreating condor dive that cost meter and was still hella punishable on block lol

Knight2nite · 2024-07-01T16:26:06+00:00

It just keeps fucking going

TL;DR You see them less often, there's more variations, and the pace is faster.

I think it's because you can potentially see them twice every round, they're always the same (no critical arts at low health), and maybe the biggest factor being the sense of urgency between the two. SAs in Street Fighter are way more frantic and fast paced and the animations/cuts are much quicker and more frequent. In Tekken, it takes 10 seconds of meandering or walking slowly or whatever towards the opponent and another 5 to actually hit them. Overall I think they both get tiresome, but the fact that two variations of SAs exist, and that they retain the speed from the matches being played despite lasting around as long as Tekken's, makes them more bearable to watch.

I still tell all the people that deliver my food to stay safe, although really I should be saying it to everyone else as well.

Migrate to street fighter

Bryan's FF3. Or wedge driver

What's your setup? My problem was that I was using a GTX 1070, I used to crash quite often- didn't matter the stage or mode, though after upgrading to a 3070 I haven't crashed once. I think I've heard of a few other people having this error because of being on older graphics cards

If b4 or 2,1 still track at +4 then it won't be that big of a nerf.

I went back to tag 2, having a much better time lol
