70s and 80s Stephen King was pretty fire. Sober Stephen King is pretty meh, also DDR broke his brain.

11/22/63 is pretty great. Funnily enough the ending is pretty good as well, and it turns out his son (author Joe Hill) was the one who suggested that ending after reading the initial draft

I'd be willing to give it a chance. After The Dark Tower IV I started to lose interest, but in retrospect maybe that saved me from the disappointment of Robert Jordan and George R.R. Martin. I quit Wheel of Time halfway through the 6th book and never picked up any of the Game of Thrones books.

The Dark Tower gets really weird around the fifth book, Once Stephen King himself becomes a character in the books (literally) I almost quit but I wound up shrugging my way to the end. The series does end in a satisfying way at least

I should probably revisit the series, The Gunslinger was one of my favorite books as a child and it's been over 25 years since I've read any of them. I should finish it.

Dark Tower is worth finishing if you're invested in the characters in any way, but not worth it just to say you did.
Pretty much everything after that I'd consider questionable based on the half dozen or so I read like Bag of Bones
And yeah, DDR really broke his brain. He went from "the CIA is running LSD experiments on unsuspecting college students to see if they develop latent psychic abilities, and then brutally murder anyone who threatens to expose them" to "get the jab or bear the moral responsibility of murdering everyone's grandma"

that book is SO FRICKING GOOD.
probably the best thing he's written this century. i did like cell and under the dome, but generally everything he's written past 1996 (that i've read at least.) which is when the green mile, desperation, and the regulartors came out, has been...not great.

Stephen King is still a high tier short story writer. He's good in a format where he doesn't have to write coherent endings. I loved the story about the neurodivergent r-slur with Death Note like abilities in Everything's Eventual. Highly recommend.

The cinematographer couldn't speak English and lost an eye during filming. Tobe Hooper told a story of visiting King on set and King asked him why the 180 degree rule was a thing and if he could break it. Tobe had to suck in his breath and go, "Steve, you should master the fundamentals of movie making before trying to do stuff like that."

Scholastic sued RL Stein for claiming he used ghost writers. Stein claimed he just had people help him with plots. People have come out and stated that they ghost wrote Give Yourself Goosebumps books (the werid CYOA Goosebumps spin off) as far as I know Stein wrote every main Goosebumps and Goosebumps 2000 book
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
I wrote a whole paper about this. Stine used ghostwriters for sure on the Give Yourself Goosebumps series and the short story collections Tales to Give You Goosebumps. He also for sure used ghostwriters on the main series allegedly for just outline purposes, but hardcore Goosebumps fans have noted that later books in the series do kind of derivate from Stine's usual style, and Scholastic had proof of these ghostwriters but the judge in that case denied their evidence to be submitted in the case for some legal technical reason

You ever read those CYOA books? They are literal nonsense like just random shit happens. “You are in the abandoned house down the street and in the hallway to your left is a giant poodle and two your right is a table with purple goo on it”. I’ve spent a lot of time trying to track down scans of the give yourself books (quite a few are missing from the usual sites) and my frens on private trackers wont check for me …

I also remember how Stine was adamant that no one dies in Goosebumps books because it would be too heavy for kids but in those CYOA books like 80% of choices end in death lol

Because simp farming is dumb and pathetic

Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
As long as the foids don't try to actively turn their simp armies against people (like Zoe Quinn did in G*mergate), I don't care if moids of their own free will choose to pay attention to consenting foids who welcome that attention. Like holy shit, let people enjoy things.
Unlike you and I, who are perfectly stunning pictures of mental health. And dude, have you taken a look outside lately? Are the normies OK? Because they look pretty fricking insane to me also.
Look at it this way - you don't have to mask your true personality around dramafoids to try and appear more boring/normal because they are perfectly comfortable with a bit of craziness. You are far more likely to be able to express your true self to these foids than the bitches on Bumble, for example.
I fully endorse dating dramafoids, even if I'm too old to benefit as much as I'd like

look even though this is true there's still the issue of, similar to dating apps, these bitches get too much attention
you'd be lucky to only be the fourth guy she's currently DMing, why even try at that point?
this also isn't a dating website (at least not for straggots) so the encouragement of simping is going to make everyone act more r-slurred
nothing ruins "men having fun" like "men competing over the one woman in the group"
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Ok, so dramafoids have the exact same problems as bitches on dating apps, but they're somewhat cooler and they wear their red flags more overtly. I think that's swell because it makes their potential problems easier to spot.
I was not aware that the moment a woman DMs me she's locked into a relationship with me and can't DM anybody else. Personally, I usually wait until several dates in before discussing exclusivity but maybe that's just me
Who's encouraging simping? Not me. I just don't think we should attack foids in order to discourage it, because then not only do we lose quality contributors but also this place starts to smell like a locker room.
If you don't like simping, don't attack the foids, attack the simps who are thirstposting at them. They're the enablers.
Nobody has to compete for the women, you can simply ignore them and choose to date elsewhere
Jump in the discussion.

but when people do, it makes the entire site worse
I'm not attacking the foids unless they're encouraging it like some people were doing at one point
My issue is more that when I'm having a conversation with someone I see them as a human with individual traits and not just "an option"
Women aren't talking to five guys at once because they're super invested in each conversation and value them as conversational partners

To some degree, standards are necessary to beat down anti-social behavior. (See: coomers, parasocial simps, vtuber fans, and so on).
As far as Liberty is concerned, sure, let them "enjoy things," but morally--so far as an ideal society goes--they're not a path toward sexual fulfillment nor a good relationship goal. If a small percentage of those moids get their peepee wet, okay

I've got mixed feelings. On one hand, let the dramamoids have their fun, but on the other hand, I don't enjoy attention-seeking bitches who clog up the feed with their nonsense.
