First off,I wanna say,that despite any critiques I will lay down here,I am still ultimately a fan of his work,and even the "miss" stories tend to be alright at worst. I even picked up the entire Lovecraft collection box,so that's gotta count for something.

That being said,the title kinda says it all. I must admit I took a bigger break from Lovecraft to read ASOIAF,so most of this will be recollections of lasting impressions rather than fresh reviews.

I'll start with my first exposure to Lovecraft. I got a book as a gift that collected a few select tales. I started with the first one,that being Dagon.

Dagon was... Fine. It was too short and vague for me though. Like the guy found an island,saw something crazy,dipped and then went crazy. Which you could say is the basis for many of Lovecraft's stories,lol. But I confess,I liked the ending!

Next up,Nyarlathotep. I heard about him already from... A Lovecraftian Dating Sim. (Sucker For Love,which actually fucking inspired me to pick up Lovecraft. Unironically.) So you can probably understand my neutrality towards the story when I found it,as the one before,short and vague.

I don't remember much from it however,so I can't sadly speak to it a lot. Let's move on to something I liked!

The Outsider! The book had a little disclaimer for each story,and this one said that it was "Lovecraft's early gothic horror." I was a bit bummed initially as I came for the incomprehensible cosmic beings,but I read on.

I was pleasantly surprised at every turn. The way Lovecraft described the castle the protagonist lived in was honestly so unlike anything I read before. The sense of mystery was there for the entire ride,even past the great Plot Twist. So as I said,first story I loved.

Now honestly this post is getting too long,and I doubt anybody will read it fully,so I'll just boil down the rest and end it. Feel free to ask me in the comments further.

The Call of Cthulhu - Good start,but I felt like the mystery didn't really pay off in the end. I might blame pop culture here however for fucking my expectations.

The Color Out Of Space - Despite being 80% descriptions of things mutating,I loved it. Hell,the final sequence even spooked me. I later learned it was inspired by radiation poisoning which made it even more interesting. Probably my favorite.

Dunwich Horror - AMAZING first half. Like the first 5 chapters. The setup and intrigue was great,and you couldn't tell what the main guy (forgot his name sadly) was planning all along. But the payoff just didn't feel like that much. Good guys won in the end which is fine,but an extended monster fight was just kinda "eh".

I'll skip ahead here to the last one that I read.

At the Mountains of Madness - I loved the setting. I loved the start. But then it just turned into kind of... Walking through a city. Which had some interesting tid bits here and there,of course,but I was underwhelmed. The ending was fine,but didn't match the buildup that the protagonist said "left him scarred forever".

And thats it for now. I read a lot more,so ask me in the comments if you want my opinions. Cthulhu Fhtagn,as the cool cultists say.

Hi... Posting this on a throwaway acc to not get fired.

I must say i am deeply ashamed of what I've done. I go to bed every night and pray that I could take this back,but alas.

​

If you own a copy of YOTS on vinyl,i am sorry

So. Let me start. I work in a factory that produces vinyls. I personally man the production line,specifically the part where the heated PVC gets formed into LPs.

​

I was just working one day as usual,and my bods came,and he said something about us producing a new album by some "Deaf Grapes" band or something. I didn't care so I just nodded and went back on my phone.

​

Either way,it soon became night and most of my coworkers left (I was doing a nightshift). Now being alone,I decided that I was pretty damn bored and pent up. So I sat down next to the molten PVC storage because it was the comfiest spot,and opened up E621,and put my usual tags in.

​

There was lots of new art,specifically of that one SCP furry chick. I won't go into detail but let's just say I started stroking. I eventually got close to climax...

​

I edged myself for about five minutes,and then decided it was time to bust. So I prepared to shoot on the ground.

​

But suddenly,my boss came in to say good night. He was directly behind me,and would see the cum on the ground. I couldn't stop the climax,it was too late. So without thinking,I leaned over the melted PVC with my crotch,and straight up shot ropes into it. As I said I was pent up so it was about one full shot glass worth of cum.

​

I then pulled my little john back in my pants and turned around to greet the boss out. He didn't suspect a thing,yet I was blushing like crazy. He just gave me a weird look and walked out.

​

I then tried to somehow filter the PVC,but it was too late. The vinyl press went on. The copies now had cloudy white spots sometimes,and were a bit lighter... I just prayed that nobody would notice because it was just one batch.

​

Overall i'd say that around 200 copies have been infused with my cum. I only discovered Death Grips after this incident so now I'm a fan,but back then I didn't even know who they were. So here is my confession and apology to y'all. Im sorry.

I once applied to work Part-Time at a Record Store and I have connections that told me.

This is not a shitpost.

Hi so I'm a white european mal and I can't help but live in fear that if I shittalk King Von that his goons will hunt me down like travel to europe popping champagne on the flight to slime a cracker like me... Am I safe here or should I delete this asap just 2 be safe? Thanks

I've always kind of wanted to try HOI4 out,but I'm honestly kind of concerned I'll buy the game and just end up not liking it due to it being overcomplicated

So I'm here asking,what's the best starting point in y'alls opinion? I am open to trying any of the Victoria,EU,CK games,or even Stellaris.

I also wanna mention that I grabbed CK2 on steam when it was free. Would that be a good starting point or is it dated? I also don't own any of the DLC so yeah
