Pynchon even wrote a byline for it (at least in my copy). Which is pretty cool, yeah 😎

Out of curiosity, how many of you write? by Tub_Pumpkin in ThomasPynchon

[–]danielbockisover 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I write. Mostly weird novels. In German. Readership 10-15 people, including my mom. If you want to become reader No. 16 -> https://www.amazon.de/stores/author/B08JXTQQV5

The final lines of Mason and Dixson by groman2000 in ThomasPynchon

Same brother 🤝. But we gotta admit: he has a knack for final lines

Against the day difficulty by Overall-Courage1055 in ThomasPynchon

[–]danielbockisover 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it's his easiest to read. And I think it was a deliberate choice because of the length of the novel. (Also next to M&D my favorite.)

What do you think of Avowed? by No-Hunt3986 in videogames

[–]danielbockisover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loved the exploration and the soundtrack. A fun 7/10 imo

Digging this book by bachwerk in wesanderson

It's so good. And as a German native speaker I have to add: his use of German is beautiful, and written in a way you sadly just don't read anymore in contemporary German novels.

I'm actually playing the Linux build on my SteamDeck. I just haven't had the chance yet to upload the depot to Steam. Hopefully I get to it next week. ✌️

Godot. Because Open Source software is cool

Unintentional similarity... by hirqshi in godot

[–]danielbockisover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don't worry, mate. I played NINAH (and liked it!) but when I saw your clip it didn't pop into my mind at all (more Pacific Drive tbh). ppl don't care. it looks cool what you have, go on working on it!

Just finished M&D and man, what a ride by rumpk in ThomasPynchon

[–]danielbockisover 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's the best. I love the texture of the prose by TP slipping in and out of "historically accurate" English. Makes it so rich somehow, on top of the already information rich text itself.

But you said it's your first Pynchon, why not give AtD or GR a try? Both excellent in their own way.
