Hey wizards,

Two other wizzas and I will be reading The Pastel City, a science fantasy novel by M. John Harrison, originally published in 1971.

We'll be following a schedule of one chapter per day. The chapters are about 10 pages long on average. After each day's reading, we'll come here and talk about it. I'll be posting a short daily commentary to help kick off the discussion, along with updates on our progress through the schedule. Of course, you're under no obligation to post anything if you don't want to.

We'll start on Thursday, July 2, so in just a couple of days. Check out the blurb for the novel:

A decaying world. Ancient powers long forgotten. An old warrior with one last battle to fight. The Pastel City is a mesmerizing journey through the ruins of a far-future civilization, where the remnants of lost knowledge mingle with myth and legend. Atmospheric, inventive, and unforgettable, it is a classic of science fantasy.

I'll be following along with this edition, which can be borrowed for free from Archive.org:

https://archive.org/details/pastelcity0000unse

You can choose a different edition if you prefer:

https://archive.org/search?tab=all&query=the+pastel+city&and%5B%5D=mediatype%3A%22texts%22

To borrow a book from the Archive, you'll need an account. They only ask for an email address and password.

Come and join us for some whimsy literary fun.

So wizzies who are familiar with this stuff, is it worth the time and effort? From what I've read most of the darknet or darkweb or wtf is just dead sites, with occasional illegal things here and there. As someone who is just curious and want to pass the time, is it worth the risk of checking out? How do you even find stuff there? WHAT IS EVEN THERE? What are your experiences with it?

Have you been neglected in you yearly childhood too? I've come across pic rel some time ago by accident and scrolling to this pic made me think I was actually fundamentally broken not by aspergers which wasn't actually that bad but rather by being neglected by mom which didn't even want to hold me when I was crying or talk on difficult subjects. Every stage presented does so perfectly wrap up all my developmental disorders it makes me feel like this framework was made just for people like me (except last 2 cause I'm too young to experience maturity and middle adulthood). Maybe some anon would consider it interesting. I've been to therapy actually and it helped me a lot but I lost my job and I don't have any money left, I'm just neeting at parents place

this is crap
it presents an image of how a human being should develop and claims this is actually how it does
for example people in the 19th century developed maturity very quickly and could be seen as psychologicaly adults in their teens
there's also too many personalities and quirks for this to be accurate

 No.229047

>>229046

Consider however that the 19th century had:

Strict and largely inescapable career paths - if you even got into one.

Limited education, but with largely uniform (two tier) content optimised for market value OR strategic thinking

Large and active family groups with further social development expected when it wasn't explicitly required by the local culture (e.g. freemasons lodges, workplace unions, church socials, pubs etc.)

true for most ages of humanity, with the 19th century also having:

Consistent and dramatic expansion of resources under management

New industries invented in the space of a year with immense economic consequence

all of those combined did the work in the image as second and third order effects. In the modern age where the majority of families end in divorce, where the average period of continuous employment is 4-5 years, where entire industries shut down overnight, where communities are actively balkanised and managed as a resource to be exploited and where labour unions are painted as a hostile foreign force - all of those steps have to be taken intentionally.

Lucky Star i'm not so sure qualifies, given:

More than one of the older succubi characters are shown to be in dead end careers/relationships or "losers"
Konata's mom dying was a significant factor
There's more than one instance of "classism" in the agitator's sense and it's intentionally highlighted
the Boke Tsukkomi routines are occasionally more mean spirited

Lucky Star is I think far more a gag manga derivative, where the goal is to manufacture contrast and comedic conflict, whereas plain Moeshit and CGDCT shows "a better world" and emphasises one small part of it

the one that *kills* me is Nonon-biyori, because it is a superb presentation of "a better world" that strikes particularly close to home as I had the benefit of living something very much like it on multiple axes. The contrast of having *lived* this and then been compelled to join the artificial rat race with its filth and machine induced hopelessness makes it much more obvious how someone could be convinced to fight for a reality like that.

If you've never experienced a peaceful, clean, safe, slow life with opportunities before you, respectable ancestors behind, and genuine optimism about the future, getting to experience it through fiction could be a traumatic experience that changes your world view.

It's why I can't finish Nononbiyori, it's painful to be reminded that once the good life it represents was real and common - and we can never have it again.

I’m starting to question who I really am; I feel like I’m losing my mind as memories of my painful past come flooding back. I don’t know who to talk to—who I can actually trust. It feels like no one understands what I’m going through. They tell me I’ll be fine, but I don’t feel fine at all. Every day, every moment—it feels like an endless, vicious cycle. I’m exhausted by all of this, yet I try to appear strong so no one sees me as weak. I know it’s frustrating; I hate everything—the past, the future, everything. It’s all the same; nothing ever changes.

sorry you're in the depths right now and it's hard (or impossible) to see a light at the end of the tunnel where you have relief.

Do you have fluctuations in this feeling are there days that somehow you feel back to normal, even if it's fleeting?

Do you want more questions, advice, or something in particular? I can say i relate to the vague yet pervasive existential dread you're experiencing, but i also know being in the thick of it is hard to listen to advice or anything.

I don't really deny any of this. And genes do play a significant role, including in the development of temperament and reactions to traumatic social experiences, as in the OP. But how accurately can you predict something like this? Even if you're neurotic, you can certainly learn to cope with this. And you're unlikely to predict the success of the learning until you try.
Genetic testing can reveal a lot, but we still can't predict someone's fate 100%. Moreover, genes reveal more about predispositions.

I read The Face in the Frost. The first third is charming, and the first half is kinda interesting, but at some point you start wondering when the damn thing is going to end.

I think the reason is that this book has no real plot. The events don't build toward anything. Instead, it feels like a series of encounters with the not so weird world of wizardry. The story follows Prospero, a wizard, and his friend Roger Bacon, another wizard. Someone is out to get Prospero for reasons. It's mostly an excuse to send him on a journey, and by "journey" I mean he wanders from place to place without much purpose or direction. Something odd happens here, then something odd happens there. Rinse and repeat.

Most of the novel consists of descriptions of kitschy objects: a set of Tarot cards, a window frame, a coat, a painting of dogs playing poker. It's all very charming at first, but before long you realize that's really all there is to it. It's like overstaying in a gift shop. Lots of little silly things to look at but in the end it's pretty much all junk and you feel like leaving.

I almost gave up on it, but I kept going, wondering whether it would eventually make sense or end up saying something. Nope. The big bad loses in a very dull way, there's a tea party, and then it's over.


Anyway I began reading A MUCH better book. Dare I say it's actually good, something rare for Sword and Sorcery stuff. It's called The Pastel City. It's short, too, so I'm wondering if anyone is interested in reading along like I did with A Canticle for Leibowitz. Let me know if that's something you guys want to do again.

Well, holy shit, pardon my French. I didn't expect a response, and certainly not one just minutes later. Nice, thanks for that.

Let's give it a couple of days so more wizzies can see this post. Meanwhile, I'll be putting together the spreadsheet with the chapters and dates so we can all follow along. I'm already looking forward to it.

HEY EVERYONE. WE HERE AT THE WIZBOOKCLUB DO BE READING THE PASTEL CITY, STARTING IN A COUPLE OF DAYS. DON'T MISS OUT! JOIN NOW!

Check this thread if you want to know how it works. We did it with A Canticle for Leibowitz. It's quite simple: I post a spreadsheet with the reading schedule, and we all follow along. We talk about the book, but you don't have to post if you don't want to. Let's have some fun.

>do we wait until more wizards show up?

This place is dead but I think the reason you missed the readalong was because we were posting in the general reading thread. Maybe if we make new thread with eye-catching picture and kept it bump to the top of /all/ everyday you'd get one extra wizard.

Yup that's me. I didn't hate it at all, it was a nice experience. I had tried before with another book but nobody showed up. Leibowitz was a success as far as I see it.

I would recommend a technical sales gig. All my co workers detects the autism, and gave the natural reaction normies gave to autists, especially the wom*n and feminized "men". But fortunately I managed to held on to this gig. Overall a very comfy pseudo NEET job. You need to make rather frequent visits to customer, which paradoxically I can do really since without any lingering personal attachments, it appears I have internalized such interactions the way a gamer approach a conversation simulator.


I might even say I do be better in a sense than some of my co-workers in building relationships with customers, for some reason the opposite is happens when it comes to customers, I could shut my mouth most of the time, merely picking the correct conversation options, and they just seem to naturally like me for some reason.


The ultimate perk of this job is technical conversations blend with a bit of a personal touch increase that affinity bar as well if not more than casual conversation. Anyway, as long as you do reasonably ok to maintain your accounts and keep up appearances, you should be ok.

Anyway, you do need to accustomed yourself to replying to messages confidently, and drive to places. Which is comfy, I can listen orthodox saints/ schizotube/ crabtube/ history-geopolitictube/ 40k tube on the way. A lot of decision making responsibility fell to you, but this is still managable, as long as you're fine with management, they were the ultimate fell guy if things go wrong.

Since you are basically your own boss day to day, its more forgiving for neurodivergents. The chanllenges of a white collar job for adhd is still there, but you have more room to mitigate these.

The capacity to feel endearment for children, especially little succubi, is owed to a developed neofrontal cortex, specifically the amygdala. Autists (real ones) have small sized and/or low synapse activity of the entire region. So to be autistic is to not enjoy these types of anime.

What should be the best measures that we should take to gatekeep anime has hard as it get?
Remember, if you don't believe in gatekeeping, you are a normalgroid.

Some measures that I suggest are:
-Knowing in deep a lot about an anime, visual novel, light novel, novel, manga or game in particular.
-Having a decent knowledge about the medium.
-Being very invested into at least one work.
-Being very invested at least in one fandom.

Is not neccesary to have all these things, but at least one. What more should be added?

This made me think about my constant struggle against my own mind torturing me in a different light. The idea that my waifu isn't the innocent and pure has been an intrusive fear for a long time that manifests itself in different ways, no matter how small any random detail I managed to interpret as a sign that my fear was true, like her clothing choices being kind of traditional dresses.
At the end of the day Im responsible for those thoughts and they arent reality, I have been trapped for so long that my fears became more real to me than reality.
Its hard to look at her the same way I used to, I hope to return to that.

i've seen a few wizards who don't seem healthy.

is too bad because being healthy is easy once you know what matters.
the practice of being healthy i have reduced to managing of habits:

you constantly manage your habits. you find out what they are by doing the opposite of being in autopilot. manual flight. then you imagine the long term consequences of each habit. then you decide if you want those, the development of a desired state. keep the desirable habits, reduce all those you don't want through constant attention on your habits.

as you do this you might stumble upon ways to improve upon the desirable habits. this is almost already doing the next thing, which is finding good new habits to practice and slowly wondering when you have time to do them.

it is up to you to be healthy, it is an option, you can make this happen if you so choose. health is one choice away.

i kept an ear out for the health troubles of old bodybuilders and listened to it, apparently their bodies are so worn down and acidic, every step for them feels like stepping on glass shards. i hate this, feeling dull sick and inable so this quickly cured me of any desire to pack unnecessary muscles. i don't care how big my muscles are, i care that they function all day reliably and i use technology for the heaviest of stuff but not for easy stuff so i get at least a bit of exercise.>>324419

Still an absolutely unhinged way to convey your message.

>>324420
Those are competitive bodybuilders who push their body to the extreme on top of being on steroids. You are not going to get health problems by just training normally. If anything getting big muscles is so hard even people who want and try to have them have trouble getting them.

i found a really cool video game i thought other wizards might enjoy too. i didn't put the thread in games because i believe this is one of those rare games that transcends the medium of video games to allow the player to participate in an experience you could not otherwise have. to me it represents the best aspects that fiction or fantasy can hope to offer someone. some people like to play video games doing something they would have little problem doing in real life to a less sensational extend: playing soldier, playing sports, being criminal, managing a business, etc. this game however is something you could not do in real life.

when you zoom all the way in this games looks like a city builder. you are a little village trying to survive the constant hardships of a dangerous world. you carefully choose which buildings to build and what technologies you research given the limited resources. you shuffle around people to make sure they have the job that currently helps the little village the most and don't waste time on jobs currently not important and you can destroy buildings you built for 100% of the resources you spend, meaning you spend the time carefully optimizing stuff. you learn stuff and improve stuff and when you notice you did a mistake, you can always correct it.

>there's a gaming board

i mentioned this in the second sentence of the op. the gaming board would not be the wrong place for this, the reason i believe this is a more suitable place for it is because i think this game transcends the conventional boundaries of a game.

people play games to seek refuge from their nightmare of a life. this game however is different in the sense that it gives you an experience you could not otherwise have that is worhtwhile, educational, entertaining, and heartfelt.

to call this a game and call mind numbing idleness-simulators like candy crush also a game does not do it justice. for lack of a better description this is more like interactive art to me.

Looks like the Settlers or these similar games with some old facebook flash management city aesthetic games.
Looks nice bacause its look like it have inmersion.
Back in time i like a lot of facebook flash games, some are trash but are casual and good and still easy and enjoyable. the port to phones was a shit to a lot of these games.

I want to play neotokyo° but no one plays it…there's this steam group that organize parties every weekends and gather together to play the game. I also want to do the same but with my fellow wizzies: I want to create a group on steam and schedule so american wizzies and europeans wizzies and aussies wizzies play all together, so we could all play together. I was thinking of sunday, no wizzies work on sunday

what do you think of my idea? I think it's a good idea

Never played this game but I have listened to the OST on and off for like a decade.

Seek out the Active NEOTOKYO Players Steam group. It may be of use to you.

Games may go on on Fridays, but no promises. The game can at least be played on default and High settings assuming a Windows machine. Linux distros depend, but should be fine.

What is the average wizard's relationship with religion like? No religious person has ever been able to give me a good argument for why God, if he is out there, is not the most maximally evil being in the universe simply by the virtue of creating suffering when he could have chosen not to. Saying "suffering builds character" and derivatives of is just a manifestation of their stockholm syndrome for this vile entity

Tried to convert to christianism 2 times after reading the Bible just to give some meaning to this life but after some internal strife my mind said nope, I just don't see what would be the point of so much suffering in the world being created just for muh testing, if another human killed your family and claimed that he's testing your soul would you take it kindly? Because that's exactly what happens in the book of Job after satan suggests it to god, the book was likely written by an atheist that hated religion because you can clearly see a change of style in the second half of it where Job just bends over and takes it, that was an addition by jewish priests. My point is if a god was responible (or allowed) for all the killing, raping, torturing, etc., in the world I'd rather go to hell

Now consider that you've been primed and taught that all your life subconciously and it's not actually you making that decision, it's something you've been subtly programmed to think, and to think it's your own idea.

Turtles all the way down.
