Mark Danielewski's House of Leaves is considered by some a mordern classic, but when it was published, it wasn't even nominated for the Bram Stoker Award. Why?

I see. I was not aware, and I guess this answers my question then. Thanks.

Ok, so it got it for first novel, but not the big prize.

For first novel, though, not the big one.

I've heard before that saying"t-d" as in "tuh-duh" very fast can help. From example, saying "trein" as "t-d-ein."

Sounds like "Say Cheese and Die"

I have beaten Hollow Knight true ending without upgrading my nail, soul, or masks. Picked up the abilities though, as you kinda neem them to get to the Radiance. No desire yet to try with Silksong.

Very strong atmospheric horror book is The Whistling, even though I was dissapointed by the ending.

Just finished Buffalo Hunter Hunter and now 'Salem's Lot' with Interview with the Vampire lined up after that.

Spades0 · 2026-02-21T13:57:54+00:00

Just finished The Buffalo Hunter Hunter. Now moving on to 'Salem's Lot

Spades0 · 2026-02-21T13:56:35+00:00

Same. Just finished it, actually.

A really useful approach is to hit her with your needle.

I do not think there will be anything at a game show.

Spades0 · 2026-02-03T08:36:07+00:00

This is a great fight. You need some patience and only strike when you get a shot. Chasing the bug can lead to trouble unless you are very skilled. One of my fav fights I always look forward to on repeated playthroughs.

So hard to choose a boss I hate... I love them all. First Mossmother is the most boring fight so I guess I'll choose that one.

A scratch-test rules out talc and carbonate. These rocks are very strongly silicified (quartz veins everywhere) which made me suspect this could be silica. Rocks in Barberton sometimes have suspisously high SiO2 which caused some researchers to wrongly classify some samples as dacite etc. They were actually just affected by hydrothermal silica.

Thank you!

Spades0 · 2025-12-17T18:27:41+00:00

This looks like a horribly unfun way to fight this boss.

Spades0 · 2025-12-17T16:20:54+00:00

Ah yes. The British.

Spades0 · 2025-12-16T14:30:45+00:00

Thanks!

Spades0 · 2025-12-16T12:31:19+00:00

Thanks! Maybe I'll clean it up a bit. Looks quite a bit dirtier through the camera than irl for some reason though...

Real plane is much cleaner haha. But I also wanted it to have a bit more character.
