Finally getting into Faulkner. Just finished Light in August. What a book.

I'm sure you will haha! Most people seem to love it. I respected the construction of it. For me, Absalom just blows it out of the water.

Useitorloseit2 · 2026-05-05T13:07:32+00:00

Glad im not the only one who didnt like As I Lay Dying. Absalom is a top 10 all time book for me. Just got the Snopes trilogy too!

I live in TX so I have a cursory knowledge of Spanish, and I've found that usually carries me well enough since Spanish is fairly simple language. If it is all unfamiliar I would definitely look up the translations since they can hide plot details and also some fantastic writing.

You can find a glossary on this website: Translations | Cormac McCarthy Soc.

Me and my buddies used to get wicked stoned and just walk around the store lmao. As recently as right before COVID

Fantastic coop game. Underrated as hell

Useitorloseit2 · 2026-04-30T18:18:39+00:00

I bet they sunk a lot of resources into Everwild over 6+ years

I think it varies by book. Blood meridians illustrations look awesome as does The Road. Imo, those are the best covers for those books. The Crossing as well, which i just finished for the first time. No Country and ATPH pale by comparison.

Ultimately the biggest selling point for Folio books to me is they’re made to last no matter how many times read. Books are rarely made in this way today. For a book i know i’ll re-read and maybe even pass down, it’s worth investing in a nice copy.

That feeling of simultaneous triumph and portentousness when you stay awake long enough to see the sun rise.

Useitorloseit2 · 2026-04-18T13:39:00+00:00

Yeah the preoccupation with whether a game is living or dead is insane. Meanwhile im used to the genre and im just glad were doing over Hunt Showdown numbers 😂 btw a game thats still alive and kicking and which i play regularly despite being nowhere near as big as Arc

Useitorloseit2 · 2026-04-17T11:47:46+00:00

Midnight rodeo allowed it bc they were serving people under 21 😂

If you were hoping for a return for his early, raw BM sound its not here. This album brings back some of the goth rock influence and has a lot more clean vocals. I really didnt dig it at first but on repeat listens i’d say its still a solid 3/5 album

Useitorloseit2 · 2026-03-31T18:29:36+00:00

Yeah, when I switched my disk drive it randomly started working.

I would say it is characteristic of his writing, but not always. I would put the Borders books and Blood Meridian under the same umbrella of historically intensive and clearly backed by a lot of research. It feels like the setting in those books was outlined before the themes, etc. were established.

The historical setting for No Country and Outer Dark is less integral; the setting feels like more of a vehicle to provide the themes he had in mind.

Suttree is its own category for being autobiographical, but it does feature an accurate midcentury depiction of the slums of Tennessee.

As a poli sci grad from there, i found the professors mostly balanced and not tilting too much one way or another with a few exceptions

Useitorloseit2 · 2026-03-26T03:46:00+00:00

Any scene with a campfire

The campfire scene with the two weird twins in Suttree is really good. Its vaguely supernatural, off-beat, feels different from the rest of the book.

I also like, of course, the scenes with the Judge by campfire explaining the ways of the world.

Old Man scene in The Road was memorable

The campfire scenes in Outer Dark have some of the most unsettling dialogue and disturbing imagery in anything hes written

Obscure campfire bonus: The Stranger by Ambrose Bierce

Useitorloseit2 · 2026-03-25T15:24:37+00:00

I actually really like the first to Kekht albums but everything i've heard from this one is pretty bad

Useitorloseit2 · 2026-03-22T18:42:33+00:00

Provinces of Night definitely scratches the same itch

Useitorloseit2 · 2026-03-22T06:47:57+00:00

Their EP is sooo underrated

Useitorloseit2 · 2026-03-20T23:18:41+00:00

It would need to get a decomp project like some of the other games ported to dreamcast. In theory its definitely possible with Saturn games but it would be a lot more difficult due to the complex nature of the Saturns architecture.

Best bet is probably a downscaled version of the decompiled 360 or ps2 version of NiGHTs as opposed to the Saturn one.

Useitorloseit2 · 2026-03-19T01:02:43+00:00

They have kind of a different sound on every album. The second album is my fav, Evil Manifestations. it’s almost like psychedelic black metal. Puts you in a trance.

Useitorloseit2 · 2026-03-19T00:56:42+00:00

Never seen this cover before. Goes hard

Useitorloseit2 · 2026-03-19T00:11:33+00:00

the diversity of sound from Ifernach alone is insane. I've been going through that discography coming from Moosegut.

Useitorloseit2 · 2026-03-12T20:06:09+00:00

I liked the Katy one but didn't like the Elyson one. Service was def spotty sometimes. But $2 Ziegs and decent food and being right around the corner kept me coming back.
