hey Show More and mobile folks. i had this experience recently with a novel. it's not a bad thing necessarily, but it's definitely a thing. i don't know what any of these words mean! i get holding a couple of them back to maintain the mystery, but do we really need half of the sentence to be completely alien to me? yes? okay sorry my bad
Can't wait to read this
Supposed to be a sci-fi classic. Garloon awoke from settering with a start. Had he
forgotten to Crill? Surely not, he thought. But as he hung from the straps of Prom Clegg, he began to
doubt. The vibrations from his dritt unnerved him. No, I won't tell you what that is. He motioned
to his robotic porielli with his mind glove, breaking its Telamoor cleanly and smoothly,
like only a Seeker can. Of course, that resulted in his flom, plate, and dinx being
open to Finder
s. It was a risk he'd have to take. Well, it doesn't make sense
yet, but I'm sure it will soon. Greegly deegly beegly sheegly deegly reegly reeg
Comments
this was a link to my twitch when i was live but now it's just a comment. this is because the Finders got my dinx
I honestly find high-concept stuff less inscrutable than those books you get that are called shit like “The Tachyon Imperative” and were written in the 60s by someone who was convinced a new kind of fridge they saw would usher in the future
"No, I won't tell you what that is" perfectly encapsulates the experience
(checks Reddit for an explanation) "There is no explanation. You're not smart enough to understand this novel." Well...
Watch out for those Finders. They'll get your Dinks.
The book gets way better after the sznigly grigly krisp crosssssssck gets introduced, and don't even get me started on the szrafelg nadhel gently!
I'm a big hard scifi fan, and this is what it feels like to try to read Dune.
Sometimes it also start with five pages of places' names with zero context that could be easily summarised with the word: "somewhere".
Authors are always like "These characters know what these things are so they don't ever need to explain any of them."
Oh yeah, Solvakrge, the first page makes perfect sense during the 2nd reading of the book
I will never stop admiring how little time you need to knock a concept right out of the park.
It's either this (zero explanation) or having to read through 5 pages of footnotes to understand the first page lol
Happened a couple of times with the dune novels I'm still not sure wtf a chairdog is I mean it is a chair that is also a dog, that I get, but...
oh Solvakrge gets really good after Part 7, where Mandis and his band of Jumpers are ambushed by the Imperial Mind-reapers (not to be confused with the Mine-reapers from Part 4, of course). the Blitz Pulser battle scene where Elias uses the Grapplesteam-purge rifle in tune with his mental scar implants and pulse lock propulsion launcher cells might be the best in the entire series. that fight starts around, like, page 803?
Hah, you really lit the nelto-globes with this one, Phil!
"No, I won't tell you what that is" Can't even catch a break!
It occurs to me that this might have been a part of why I enjoyed Sci-fi so much as a kid. It was okay if I didn't know everything, and most of the stuff was either unimportant or could be gleaned through context - or would be like a mini-mystery with the significance revealed later in the book as more context was provided.
me on page 4: this is the best piece of media ever made and i will recommend this to everyone
Wait, you’re reading it without the strategy guide?
Somebody send this to Man Carrying Thing
