Pynchon who refuses to appear in public versus Nobel Foundation that demands each laureate to appear and deliver a public lecture. Unstoppable force versus immovable object.
Since winter is beginning to emerge, I'm once again trying my hand on writing a fish-out-of-water-type story about a sad and miserable urban guy who's "suddenly" posted in a remote town. I'll fail again of course, as I do every season, but whatever.
So I just started Chapter 6 and it's beginning to settle how harrowingly dark and sad a tale RDR2's story is. I'm completely stunned at the incredibly mature story-writing from R*.
@AsadRahim A personal favorite thing to do in such cases is to dig a little deeper and see how such folks' tweets used to read before the "democratisation" of AI slop. Result: it's never about the grammar or fluency but them making up for their lack of thinking.
Life, in a short story:
You're miserable. You find a book online. You search it up. You bookmark the site because you don't have the money to buy it. Some time passes. You get the money. You open the bookmarked site: the book's sold out. You're miserable again.
Just saw someone unironically recommend Penguin Modern Classics as one of the elite *collectable* classic book editions. One would think by now people must've realized what happens when one so much as sneezes on a Penguin Modern Classics.
