How Tolkien Fans Describe the Silmarillion

Alternatively, you could just read a one-sentence summary of the book that goes something like: "Stuff used to be great, now everything sucks, and it's going to keep sucking," and basically get the gist. Tolkien playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLzwNMorNhEIbkNvAeN8FTPKAwb8RTiHW2.html #tolkien #lotr

A new theory of humanity's uniqueness? | Breaking down "The Secret of Our Success"
There is the story and the underlying narrative.. much like how jurassic park is reallt more about math than dinosaurs
Type 2 is like John Dies only much tamer
Ah finally I get to say it, Chitin is pronounced KHY-TEN or for silly colonials "Kyte-ten"
I need a Wilhelm scream frog.
Cosmic Humor
didn't even make "|" a glottal stop smh my head
adventure time is a perfect example of type 2 and i’m not joking
Man unknowingly paying an homage to a science fiction novel Definitely Maybe by society authors Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, creators of Roadside Picnic that was an inspiration for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series.
I mean... That's amazing.
Have you tried Mistbjorn
Mfw traumatizing myself and forcing it on everyone else feels like the most responsible thing to do in the face of the horrors
Or type 3, where you send your grandmother goatse as their first and only interaction with the internet.
Chitin is pronounced kai-tin. Learned that playing Ark. :p
It seems bro discovered Trench Crusade.
the seceond one sucks because it's just a infodump
So basically Lovecraft and Stephen King
Ask not how many shrimp it takes to change a light bulb but how one was able to frie rice
TMA vs WTNV
Type 3: I went on a hike and the trees were weird. Now my nose is bleeding and I don't rember my name anymore.
Nobody has ever stopped reading wheel of time because of "sexism". You're a cuck and an exaggerator. Now the slog, on the other hand...
I actually use it to correct spelling mistakes. As long as it doesn't change anything I say, it's good.
I want to buy the book, but their is no link in the discription? where can I buy it?
please make playlists for these types of videos
Woke crap.
All artifacts of Sheogorath
That’s just Tolkien and Lewis
Chitin is pronounced KITE-IN
I thought it was chite-in
The 2nd one is just the scp foundation💀
First of all, your opening "type one" was PEAK classic cosmic horror. Fantastic. Second, I love type two specifically because it's reminiscent of SCP, which is one of my favorite IPs. Third, the transition is a great illustration of the banality of suffering: initially the individual or society would lose their shit. Given enough time, it would just be another learning curve to abuse.
Having not read any Sanderson books, this was very entertaining mumbo jumbo
Ngl I thought he was gonna absent-mindedly put the pen in his mouth and subsequently rob himself of human speech
i don't think the second one counts as horror, especially cosmic
Actually just things that the SCP foundation comes across
My own cosmic horror is just that one youtube video where it compares the sizes of planets, zooming out farther and farther to show bigger planets, stars, black holes, solar systems, galaxies, galaxtic clusters and superclusters, etc
00:11 his hand in the windows reflection- xd
2nd is making me think of Control, the music sounds like the hotel
I've done Paradox mega campaigns that are pretty much this, it becomes normal after a while.
We don't talk about thr 3rd type
0:28 that’s not how you pronounce chitin
I love that I found this video because I was trying to determine if my book is grimdark, and uh... Yeah. It is.
Nts 0:49 2:25 4:29 4:45 6:32
It happens. One moment, you're buying a used lamp from a garage sale, and the next week, the "police" confiscate it because it was "used in a crime." I never even got to use it. It wouldn't turn on for some reason.

Thanks, I didn't want to hear anything ever again anyway.
The first time i heard my dad swear was when I was 10. He was reading the Silmarillion, and he threw the book across the room and yelled "Fuck it"
Hard Sci Fi isn't focused on storytelling. It's focused on exploring an idea. That's why the only Hard Sci Fi story I ever enjoyed is Arrival, since the idea being explored is communication, which is fundamentally what storytelling IS.
This is why I can't consider The Martian as HARD sci fi. It's equal parts storytelling and exploring an idea. That's also why Hard Sci Fi isn't mainsteam. While sure, some of it's fans are gonna be pretentious, it's not inherently pretentious to point out that there's a significant divide between themselves and the majority. It's not about levels of intelligence. It's about what you enjoy. And Hard Sci Fi is defined by it's less accessable nature due to being less focused on storytelling (send the majority of folk want a focus on storytelling).
I prefer the Netflix versions
Loved the Tintin references.
I’m pretty sure “between tortured skeletons of subterranean fire and the cyclopean remnants of paleogene infidelity” just means “between some rocks and some dead fish” Pretty much how a lot of Lovecraft reads
Cosmic Whimsy
For the record “chitin” is pronounced like “kai-tin”.
