the entire cast is here. Rusp dog, Rusp human, me, Polu, and Mr. Midnight
he's so japan pilled he listed them from right to left 😔
no, what happened is the following
Pika thinks "everyone is here. I will post this."
He then types the first part of his message.
However he then thinks "wait, what if the full cast is not actually here?"
So he places his eye cursor on the leftmost figure and begins to verify one by one left to right that each member of the cast is there.
But he wants to save his memory since he has a lot of other things on his mind, so he decides that he'll forget each character's name after he recognizes it, and instead just remember how many of the cast members appeared.
When his eye seeks to the end and verifies the last character, he knows that the whole cast is there because the number he counted is the same as the cast size.
But there's a problem... Because he didn't remember the names of each one, he doesn't know what to write in the message!
He thinks "I COULD return my eye cursor to the beginning, and then go from left to right and write the name of each character. BUT, then I would end up moving twice the amount..."
He realizes that in order to best preserve the number of uses of his eyes, which can only traverse a fixed number of degrees in their lifetime, it's more efficient to instead write the name of the characters in reverse order starting from his current position at the right.
What actually happed is I wanted to end with mr. midnight

I think this is a fascinating read: https://a.co/d/8kMCuEk
It's more of a personal story, it's fascinating. The writer was a Peace Corps volunteer for Uzbekistan for 3 months before he got culture shock and pleaded to go home, and then some years later, he decided to go back and visit the friends he made. The book is half history and half a travel blog. If you enjoy the travel blogs from mattlakeman.org then this book is a much more in-depth version of those blogs.
Chasing the Sea
In 1996, Tom Bissell went to Uzbekistan as a na•ve Peace Corps volunteer. Though he lasted only a few months before illness and personal crisis forced him home, Bissell found himself entranced by this remote land. Five years later he returned to explore the shrinking Aral Sea, destroyed by Soviet...
a.coIt says it's about the Aral Sea, but don't expect to hear about it for more than 30 or so pages. It's mainly an introduction of the history of Uzbekistan.
He recommended this last night and I am going to actually read it
The author is interesting

Not enough book recommendations in here
I read the book Dignity: https://www.amazon.com/Dignity-Seeking-Respect-Back-America/dp/0525534733 It's a brutal book about the towns in middle America that got completely destroyed by the east/west coasts once the factories and mills got off-shored to be a little cheaper.
Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America
After abandoning his Wall Street career, Chris Arnade decided to document poverty and addiction in the Bronx. He began interviewing, photographing, and becoming close friends with homeless addicts, and spent hours in drug dens and McDonald's. Then he started driving across America to s...
www.amazon.comI editorialized it for sure, but that's the gist of what happens. He interviews hookers, homeless people, drug addicts, etc. in the worst of the worst places and asks general questions like what you want in life and what your plans are.
started reading the apothecary diaries ln series recently, pretty good. good translation from jnovel club, always enjoy the translator's notes
And right now I'm reading the short stories by Algernon Blackwood like The Willows and The Wendigo. I think those are the most popular short stories.
Replying to mint #wimint started reading the apothecary diaries ln series recently, pretty good. good translation from jnovel club, always enjoy the translator's notes (edited)
Is that a light novel??
Oh wow. I had no idea it was a LN. I'll have to read it.. I loved Apothecary Diaries.l
was maybe web novel first, but yeah its based an ln
not tons of missing content versus anime, the adaptation was good, but definitely more details in tne books
Sweet, got the jnovel club one too.
yeah love how easy it is to snag books online 🙂
praise the era of the internet
For another book, I read this a while ago. But Endurance was an absolutely amazing read: https://a.co/d/33xFgcp and my end goal in model kits is to build that ship
Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage by Basic Books
In August 1914, polar explorer Ernest Shackleton boarded the and set sail for Antarctica, where he planned to cross the last uncharted continent on foot. In January 1915, after battling its way through a thousand miles of pack ice and only a day's sail short of its destination, the became...
a.coI always like to recommend that book.
I even got an Endurance patch, hold on
Replying to Kribbles #kribbles1 And right now I'm reading the short stories by Algernon Blackwood like The Willows and The Wendigo. I think those are the most popular short stories.
Algernon wrote a journal about him canoeing the Danube, which directly inspired The Willows. I think this was a fascinating read. It felt like a blog post but from 1900: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/MacMillan%27s_Magazine/Down_the_Danube_in_a_Canadian_Canoe

Kribbles, this is not really a military history book, which I tend to not recommend (even though it's a lot of what I read)

Did you read Lawrence of Arabia's journal? I really loved the movie, tried to read the book and woof it was a tough one.
(I didn't finish it)
Lawrence of Arabia's writing is impenetrable
it's this weird dilemma, because his writing and translations are historically super notable and awesome
but they are impossible to get through
It felt like a historical textbook
As in, like, a book that historians love
A lot of the British explorers (by virtue of learning a fuckton of languages) did a ton of work translating local stories and texts
and despite that, most of them are criminally underutilized for whatever reason

priffin vs snoopy...
Currently reading “There is no Antimemetics Division”, an SCP story that was turned into an independent book. It’s quite interesting so far. If you haven’t heard of SCP before I’d recommend that too, it’s a nice mix of silliness, sci fi and horror
All I know about SCP is it got overrun by weirdo's who use it for their gender euphoria or weird fetish shit

That's funny, I heard about this from somewhere else recently and read all of the SCP stories. Didn't know it was an independant book. It was a very good read though.

I feel it was a lot better in the in between period of not just guys from 4chan, but not whatever it is they are today
This book kind of comes from that in between era
Replying to TinyBomby #tinybomby That's funny, I heard about this from somewhere else recently and read all of the SCP stories. Didn't know it was an independant book. It was a very good read though.
I feel like I vaguely remembered hearing about it before too but I saw it in barnes and noble yesterday and picked it up because I remembered it was based on scp
the SCP lore/world is honestly pretty great, but since it was always collaborative, as it became more and more popular it became impossible to gatekeep
Yeah, I still think some of the newer stuff is good too I just think changing old articles because the author ended up being like, transphobic or something is a little needless for something like that
Although there were also some deleted because they were pedophiles and I think that’s probably a good idea so, lol
Replying to Wuvwand #loveland Although there were also some deleted because they were pedophiles and I think that’s probably a good idea so, lol
ehhh unless the content itself is pedophiliac in nature, I still disagree with removing it
Do people really read something and say, "Well, this was created by someone bad, therefore, I can't like it!"
Wait don't answer that...
Considering scp is specifically marked as creative commons or whatever and you can’t make money off it unless you change names and things like antimemetics did, yeah there’s not much need to care if scp gets “canceled” anyway
I just appreciate people writing fantasy/fiction that has unique elements that don't just pull from Tolkien or Lovecraft
Its truly unique stuff yeah
I like how many of them feel grounded in reality
Obviously stuff like a rubber ball that continuously gains kinetic energy isn’t possible but like, that’s the whole point
Replying to Wuvwand #loveland I feel it was a lot better in the in between period of not just guys from 4chan, but not whatever it is they are today
Marble Hornets was a great showcase of the Slenderman SCP!
They made a slenderman SCP? Neat!
I thought Slenderman was originally from an SCP?
I thought it was just an independent 4chan thing
