Why do wizards use herms like succubi for succubi, or is it for specific succubi

Life in a sense, is a liturgy. I'm not a gnostic, but the concept of loosh is quite helpful. For example, even outside wiz, I spell succubi as w o m * n (with a *). I internally lowered them from their pedestal, and refuse to give them my loosh.

This is the answer. You can't type w.o.-m-en without autocorrection rendering it as succubi.

can i pry more into this idea
because i am realizing the unraveling of my mind and how arbitrary my thoughts, foci, and pre-occupations are… especially the strongest ones biologically entwined…
so have you broken free of the loosh completely, channeling it upwards? I guess i'm asking have you found it a necessary step. Because i notice how much their hold has on some, even when they think they've broken the shackles… they're just pushed deeper subconscious (e.g. their loosh is given to addictions that are just a substitute)
Even if you're not giving your loosh physically away, you might be leaking it via the mind… psychic vampires?

Kotava (artifical auxiliar language) is the best for wizards. This language is ultra-neutral (there is no similarity to natural or artificial languages) and it sounds magical or from another reality. I even added the Shavian alphabet to make it more interesting.

Hello Wizards,

In this thread we talk about Formula 1. I got into it this season, curious if anyone follows it.

Who is your favorite driver? What do you think of the current season?

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.

I'd like to off myself in the distant future for multiple reasons but I'm afraid that when the time comes I bitch out or it has become harder to find resources for painless methods. Because of that, if a doctor told me right now that I will die in about a year or so, it would lift a huge burden off me. I don't think I would do much though, no hedonism because that always feels like a waste so instead maybe writing a book or something to leave behind. At last I'd go to Japan and off myself before my time comes in whatever beautiful and relatively isolated landscape I can find, and humbly ask in my suicide note to be buried in that country, not because I'm a weeb but because it's the only fair country left on Earth.

I wasted years of my life working and started college late. Last year, I began a degree program in psychology education to see if later I could handle a degree in psychology or become a therapist, and in short it was a disaster. I felt like a damn alien next to my classmates, and I didn’t feel comfortable in class, not with them, not with anything.
This year, I decided to start studying another major focused on the hobbies i love, music related things as hobby. I decided to try music education, and so far everything’s going well, and I even feel comfortable with my classmates, but the social aspect is still killing me.

>What's you cant handle?

>Vocal education
I can't handle vocal training classes I usually freeze up and can't even sing a scale. The strange thing is, I don't know if the teacher plays favorites, but she treats the succubi better, from what I've seen, they've been singing for a while, sing in church choirs around religious things etc, or already have experience with singing and high notes. I don't notice her treating the men the same way or giving them the same attention, and most of the guys haven't practiced singing before. Last time, she told me I don’t sing because I strive too much for perfection i dont believe this is true but this didnt help in anything. I don’t know if she misunderstood me or if she hates me, but I’m not sure if she understands that I can’t control my nerves and i actually told she about this. one day she just told me something in the lines of go to a psychologist bla bla Obviously, I failed her exams. maybe i the problem or she even tried to help much. maybe i will try to change to another teacher next year i dont know.

>Language and music theory problem

The language and music theory classes started a little late, but I love them (with piano classes), and the fun part comes in the later semesters. My only problem is that, because of some university policy, they make us record ourselves and… oh my god, I hate my fucking face. I’ve never liked recording myself, and they even make us record ourselves singing, which is even worse, because I can’t even stand in front of a camera for two seconds without go full into a panic attack of nervers and sadness. i hate mirrors and watching myself in recordings.

I’m seriously thinking about dropping out of this program because I knoPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>drop out of university bacause of self-steem

When I was in university/college, I knew enough (both male and female) who had these thoughts. Some did drop out. Others remained. Of course I can't speak to what you must be particularly feeling inside yourself personally, but I can say that from my own experiences with classmates/peers who had varying self-esteem issues of all types (eg, convinced they were unattractive, convinced others were mocking them, looking down on them, excluding them, etc.) that 99% of the time these individual issues whereon they had laid so much anxiety and stress appeared to me (as an outside observer) to be completely socially insignificant and things of a sort I would not even have had a consciousness of if they had not confided their worry of them in me.

>The language and music theory classes started a little late, but I love them (with piano classes), and the fun part comes in the later semesters. My only problem is that, because of some university policy, they make us record ourselves and… oh my god, I hate my fucking face.


That's excellent. You've found something you truly enjoy. And I'm sure it'll only get better as you advance higher and higher. To quit something you like this much owing only to insecurity around appearance seems like an unwise choice. I highly doubt you look as bad as you imagine yourself to.

>I can't handle vocal training classes I usually freeze up and can't even sing a scale. The strange thing is, I don't know if the teacher plays favorites, but she treats the succubi better,


All teachers play favorites. Whether music teachers, philosophy teachers, math teachers, english teachers. They all have their favorites. Partiality towards others is human nature and is found everywhere. I dealt with professors who strongly disliked me and oftentimes for reasons I never even understood. If the favoritism shown by this specific instructor however is so great, is there any chance you could find another related instructor who would take you on and through whom you could fulfill your required credit load?

>I just want to disappear,


Again, I knew at least 4-5 students in my own time in university who voiced those exact words "I want to disappear". I remember a few of them stayed within their dorms forasmuch as they could (avoiding in-Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

well, I can relate to a lot of what you said here, even the acne scars part. You did well in dropping out of psychology, unless that degree actually has a high employment rate in your country. You won't find jobs with a music degree unless you're lucky or quite talented, but at least it may fulfill you, although you could also learn that by yourself which is what I decided to do in my creative hobby. The only benefit of going to college for such a degree in the age of the internet is guidance and discipline, and you don't necessarily need college to get those. There's also making contacts with other people but that relies on what people are available to interact with in your class, if it's only normaloids you may have a hard time making any friends at all. I also think like so many others that modern college is a huge scam, not only of your money but most importantly of your time and youth, but I can only speak from personal experience in my country. I was going to click post, but I also read that you don't want to go back to NEETing, it's certainly not for everybody so I suggest you stay there for a little while and calmly consider what to do in the future, no self-help books or anon wizards have the right answer to that, since we don't know you personally enough to know what's best for your specific case.

You'll be happy to know that Linux does not require an internet connection to function at all and that USB installation is the standard method for most distros out there. No offense intended but it's very clear you have no idea what you're talking about.

I can just click next next done… yeah I could mirror my entire boot drive, and software etc, but eventually something breaks and it's very likely to "just work" even on other PCs.
Software is another point.
I can just have the installers ready, all dependencies baked into them with the redistributables, no need to hunt down anything later on, no need to update for any reason, no need to emulate.
>Why would windows be more suited for the job than linux?
Simplicity, by default compatibility and by-design software distribution differences.

>>70737
No clue why you even bother with this hyperhostile response while failing to understand what I asked.

Even on the most "just works" distros your point might only ever be valid if you have an offline backup of the repo and that will only help you with stuff that is already packaged at the point in time for your specific system when you decided to make a backup.
No compatibility with future software releases because whoops my dependencies are fucked, whoops something is broken/incompatible I need to hunt down a fix which, again, needs an internet connection.
You really think when you copy paste some command into your console or install something with a package manager and the screen flashes with a ton of text for you in the process it just magically pulls all of that out of the wall socket?

Again, I'll give you two USB drives.
Your job is to set up 3 different computers (offline), one has an AMD cpu/igpu with an NVIDIA gpu, the other has no gpu, the third has an AMD gpu.
All this while they have to be compatible with running a set of software, half of which might require some form of emulation.

Even ignoring the specifics of needing emulation, let us assume that all software you will run is native to linux in some form. Can you reproduce your setup flawlessly with the given resources?

The easiest way would be to take some atomic distro like Fedora Atomic for example, mount their base image, add all stuff you need there and repackage as new OS image. "Future" problems are the same everywhere. If you didn't include some drivers you needed it won't work neither for offline Windows nor for offline Linux unless you bring them later via usb or connect to the internet.

> Software is another point. I can just have the installers ready, all dependencies baked into them with the redistributables, no need to hunt down anything later on, no need to update for any reason, no need to emulate.
On Linux this will come as flatpaks and appimages. Single files that include everything needed for app to work.

 No.70741

>>70739
I disagree with the second part just based on my personal history with these, but I'm sure things improved tremendously in the past decade.
In general yeah the Atomic distro example was something I was looking into and hoping some have experiences to share about.
Any of you ever messed with them yourselves?
Anecdotal experiences of wizards are more value to me than specs and hypotheticals.

I wonder how truly universal those are though. I reckon at the very least I would have to make a separate image for each device.

>>70740
That is also more of a hypothetical thing that I've yet to witness myself working without issues.
Do you think you could reasonably go without updating your base system for 4-6 years and still use new releases by utilizing flatpaks/appimages?
I've had the same XP installer disc work on computers a decade apart, same for win7 etc.
I reckon if I found new hardware that was considered junk I'd be able to install something from one of my USBs on it and have it be a useful device if need be. I don't see this level of universality in linux.

Btw. if you have any recommendation for a specific path I could test I'm more than willing to.
I don't doubt that I could just take the latest stable release of any distro and get it to install, but to get anything else on it is dubious in my mind, especially if anything proprietary at all is needed.

They aren't. They just cope with that since becoming a monk is a way for the "loser/outcast" to attain status and social validation. Take part in some retreats, listen to some of them preach of whatever religion and you'll find them not at all different than the common folk.

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.

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

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.

Hilarious to be in the second "bad" part of each of these.

I hit 30 not too long ago, been trying to see if there is anything at all that I could reasonably do to change.
Feel like for the most part I'm already set in stone. Every "improvement" feels fake and deep down I know I'd just be pretending.

I hate these things because to me it looks like more analysis, more observation, reaching the same conclusions that I am fundamentally broken in ways I can't undo.

Maybe I'm too feeble minded to properly use these things, but I don't believe mental work can undo what real physical things did to you. idk if that makes any sense.
Searching for solutions inside your head when it's your head that is an accumulation of all kinds of problems.
Can't think myself into becoming unstunted.

Since you say therapy helped, would you be willing to expand on how and why? You mention the realization, so? What was the actual solution to that?
Reading through your link to me it looks like just another way one can look at cause and effect. As with most psych shit I never see the fix.

most of humanity was hanging on by their fingernails and scraping by and procreating before their brains even fully develop that ability for that level of EQ…
and by the time they reach that point, stress from raising a family under the conditions usually defers that emotional work for the next generation, and so the cycle of samsara continues

Stepped on the scale today and realized that despite the initial "push" from a medical crisis a year ago, I basically regained all weight I lost (minus 5-10kg).
I also realized I've been working for almost 3 years now, going to be 30 the same week I'll hit my 3 years of work too.
3 years… of wages wasted.

I don't even know what the fuck I spent most of it on. It just escapes me.
Still live with mom and all my necessities are taken care of she takes nothing from me.
I had a blessed opportunity these past 3 years to save up for the dogshit future that hit the world now and I wasted it on toys and basically indulging all I couldn't as a NEET with no money.
The worst is that since I'm an impulsive retard I mostly have nothing to show for it either.

Health is even more fucked then ever before since I never took action.
Rather every action that didn't prove fruitful or flat out failed resulted in my absolute surrender for another month or three or six…
Absolutely defeated at the starting line basically.

To get to the point of this thread. Those of you that live a decently structured, responsible and stable life, how?
I barely have a sense of time. Kinda like when I was a NEET, just instead of 12-16 hours of sleeping and then PC stuff I'm forced to work a rather easy, blessed job.
Once it passes I just feel like I'm teleported to the next shift until I get to sleep through a weekend and months pass.
Even chronic pains don't make me act much. What does one even do to live?

The worst part really is that so many years went down the drain and I really have nothing to show for it. Not even memories.
I want to at least look back on SOMETHING fondly when I'm dying someday.

I think all those people you see doing "hard" or "boring" goals are still doing exactly what they want. It's just that their unique psychology is structured to make productive tasks coincide with their wants. Like the chad who grows up in a sports family and his father always talks about discipline or whatever. He builds up this model of physical hard work. He ends up becoming this fitness freak, again doing exactly what he wants.

Then there's wizards. they are doing what they want already. It just doesn't usually coincide with what a normie calls "productive." we are not machines. so you can't just be like: these goals i will achieve no matter what. in reality, you'll only do the things you really want. So like, people who lose weight… maybe they end up having others look down on them to such an extent that the desire to prove them wrong is greater than the desire to eat pizza. Still, doing what you want. I don't think human can really do anything outside of what they want. you need a reason that isn't bullshit. most people don't have any reason to do stuff so they just stagnate.

anyway, my reason is to hurt niggers, and thats what keeps me going.

>I don't think human can really do anything outside of what they want. you need a reason that isn't bullshit.

being healthy isn't bullshit. your proud tradition of living outside of responsibility is though.

just think it through all the way and experience it once and you will know that being healthy is worth the price of admission. no pizza tastes as good as being healthy feels, no candy can come close to being thin and feeling light as a feather. the feeling of ability outshines every tasty treat that the factory can come up with.

you just live your life wrong and you will say everything not to look like the fool that you are behaving like. probably the advertisement that filled your brain with wrong images. like good-looking thin people eating garbage, that's one of the worst images that is clouding your perception because outside of advertisement, the unhealthy food is eaten by people who are visibly unhealthy and this would otherwise repel you if you weren't drip-fed lies by advertisement how there are healthy people eating trash. there aren't, those are actors.

why you are lying in the bed though, a human body that is properly maintained will be more able to to research, how do you even type a keyboard when you are lying in bed, aren't your arms in all the wrong places?

>i work from the time i get up to when i sleep. i dont have time to even cook properly so i just eat crap.


you shouldn't cook food anyways. that's a modern invention that the body does better without. i only eat fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds and i don't cook, i just cut, blend and/or spice.

>my priorities are different to yours. id love to do fitness stuff but not everyone wants the same things.


yeah you want money because you think you can throw money at problems and you will believe that right until the point you understand that people want to tentacle you in monetary transactions.

>thats kind of what i was getting at with the op. you cant force your priorities. either you want to do something and you do it, or you don't.


i hope your research will someday lead you to the conclusion that your priorities are short sighted.

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?

I play a lot of multiplayer military shooters that aim for realism in the way weapons are handled, and I also do shooting sports IRL. This gives me a lot of dreams in which I'm just an armed soldier tasked with doing mundane military tasks or going and killing communists. Being an actual warrior in these dreams is cool but sometimes the dreams lean more to the videogame side and I end up dying because I'm lagging out or the controls are being unresponsive. Like you know how men have dreams about punching people but the dream doesn't always let the punch really land? I keep needing to shoot communists but the gun isn't working. Last night was a case of me needing to set up a radio on the field but it kept being red and translucent to indicate that it couldn't be placed there, and I died trying to find a place where the game would let me set it up. Then the dream went realism mode and I was shooting at bad guys (Slavs) who were holed up in a building, but then I found out there were also nice cats and dogs in the building too and I may have harmed them so I woke myself up by killing myself.

Has anyone read 5e's fucking Ravenloft?
Just some of the horrid shit in it:
>Strahd's played off as what amounts to Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Angelus levels of edge, literally feels nothing and seemingly has no interests above the usual, though not for the same Bram Stoker's Dracula tier reasons, Literally just wants Tatanya as if a meaningless trophy on his belt
>These dumb faggots made it so that Strahd wants to turn whatsherface not into a vampire bride, or hell, even a true vampire, BUT VAMPIRE SPAWN (You know, sniveling wall crawling nosebleed assface monster vamps?)
>Tatanya's a nigger
>The reincarnation is a nigger
>Strahd's wives are niggers
>Nigger Mayor of a town surrounding the land
>Evil white "everything is fine man"
>Strahd's a Bisexual sodomite degenerate with two male consorts to boot
>Made Barovians "Diverse"
>Made Strahd's conquering of the land sound tyrannical as fuck and less just
>Made it so that Some have Barovians have souls and some don't because of 5e's ravenloft being in a private demiplane, stopping newborn bodies from getting souls, in a piss-poor attempt to mimick the Old demiplanes of dread thing where some residents are literally just NPCs made by the powers, even though this makes no sense to anyone who's had to deal with Gulthias in 3.5 and Ashradorn in the whole Soul font thing with the ban on unborn souls in lore, so these people should be getting souls, because otherwise the demiplane would have to deny all positive energy for this shit to even remotely work
>All done because they're too lazy to redo the demiplanes of dread just like before,
>Strahd now heals for 20 in his fast heal
>Mongrel Men are the results of Racemixing past the half-race stage suffer for it, check their description and it's fucking played off as a good thing despite them being ugly mutants beyond redemption in their racial descriptions, the self-unawareness is real

There wasn't a good reason, it's just that I tend to focus on the negative side of anything I'm doing. I quit because I thought I was going to dedicate myself to reading more books, but of course, in the end, I barely read shit anyways and now I'm outta game. I'll probably find a new group on Roll20.

How long did it take you to call it quits with your campaign? I hope you had fun with it. Maybe it's best to have shortish games that end after some months so people can recharge, instead of turning it into a fucking religion the way me and the guys were doing. The first couple of weeks after I left I truly felt like I had escaped from a cult. And now I want back into the fold. I'm almost inclined to give a hollow laugh.

I prefer strict rules myself, but I'm not dead set on them. I do very strongly prefer no fudging to save the characters, no matter what. You can only have true consequences from your decisions if the world is not conspiring in favor of the PCs.

>How long did it take you to call it quits with your campaign?
It ran for about 6 months, and when I really got tired of it I gave myself another session to see if my motivation would return (as it often did), but it didn't. And the funny thing is that the campaign was at a point where it could expand to the overworld and such, with lots of opportunities for development, but after each session, I was getting less and less enjoyment from the whole thing.

Now I'm thinking of doing some solo adventure, playing as one of those yeti monsters (>>70680) and dwelling in a dungeon, looking for human encounters to devour their brains and gain their powers.

That's a respectable run. You can get a lot done in six months. Most online games don't last four sessions, let alone several months.

Man I tried solo games but I just can't do it. The wealth of bizarre shit that happens when five nerds get together to play these games just can't be matched by solo play. At least not for me. In many ways solo is the best way to play it because you don't depend on others. I really like that part. It's basically a video game. Pick up and put it down whenever you want. If only I could get into it.

Anyway, I already caved and found another group. We'll be playing through a module this time, about 20 sessions, so about the size of your campaign. Not enough time for me to start hating on rpgs which is good. I can't wait to delve into musty corridors and throw some dice. We start next week. I'll report back.

Well I said I would report back so here I am. I had my first game with the new group. It was rather strange, as I'm not used to playing with newbies. My usual experience with gaming is with grognards, and the game very quickly gets into a rather smooth operation: go to the dungeon, kill the monsters, fetch the gold, bring it back for XP, rinse, and repeat. Roleplay is present but secondary, it's a game, not a narrative. The characters are tools for combat and exploration first, not people. It's just a different way of playing, is all.

Now, with the newbies coming into roleplaying after the Critical Role phenomenon, it's different. They all want to elevate their characters to some literary figure. I sat through a 10-minute argument between two players because they have PCs whose "personalities" clash. These players have pet characters that they intensely protect from all danger, to the point of being a detriment to the game itself. They don't want to go into the cave "because there might be something too dangerous inside." Well wtf man, that's the whole fucking point, is it not?

The DM is aware of the problem and was privately messaging me days before the session, telling me he was hoping that I would stir the other players to action. I have never had that happen to me before. Usually, DMs are control freaks who want to have complete control of the world and the players somewhat. This guy is apparently too afraid to be candid about the pet characters that are paralyzing his game and is trying to recruit me as his hatchet man.

Welp, I'm happy to inform you that I embraced the task. We saw some action and a character got killed, although it was an excruciating process that took several minutes of arguments. But before that, let me tell you about what we did in town before going out into the caves.

One of the players actually had his character looking for work AS A FUCKING BARISTA AT THE LOCAL INN! Holy fucking Christ Jesus, man. Here we have a game where you can be a hill giant, a devil, a paladin, a rogue, a demon prince from hell, or a fucking dragon if you want to. And this guy takes a 15-minute side quest to try and get his character work waiting tables! There was nothing particularly important about this inn, either. It's just an inn.

And it's not like we were short on money either. This is a Monty Haul DM and each of us had enough money to afford food and board for like a whole year. Besides, we can just hearPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

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.

Hey wizzas, tomorrow we'll start reading The Pastel City together, a weird fiction book. Check this thread if you're interested.

Nice to have you on board wizzie. Rule 6 of Wizchan says one must not link to any content illegal in the United States of America, so I won't link anything here. But anyone interested in downloading a copy of the book instead of using the archive.org links provided in the OP can very, very easily find it online. I just checked, and it literally took me less than 20 seconds to find a PDF copy through a simple Google search.

>>70723
The Pastel City is considered a gem of weird fiction, but I can understand it not being for everyone. People really like Dune for example and I don't care for it at all. That said, I'm happy you're giving it a shot! The prologue is just a quick history of the world in very broad strokes, the actual story doesn't read like that. I hope you'll manage to immerse yourself in the novel as the days go by.
