[ZRH]

So I saw the thing game posted over in the game thread, and today a nurse had asked me for a book recommendation.

I was reading Lovecraft but you can't just drop names on people not mention it's a bit inaccessible except, at the mountains of madness.

Now here's the thing, the thing and at the mountains of madness both occur in Antarctica, both involve ancient aliens....

Paging @kiwi to confirm/deny.

They’re too normal for me.

That’s why I live in rural TN.

Dude mountains of madness is so creepy because it was written before Antarctica was largely explored.

Pretty amazing really.

Edit - stupid phone.

He captured the dread of those early explorers well and made it terrifying.

I can’t imagine being marooned there for months.

Yup. Love mine. Look at the ROG Ally, though.

I just finished The Terror by Dan Simmons. About an artic exploration team that gets stuck in the ice on the search for the northwest passage, and then shit gets real weird. Not lovecraft weird, but not normal

I havent seen the tv show (dont think i want to, the book stuck hard enough in my head, i dont need visuals attached to it), but i did read some about it after i read the book. The book is way more fucked than the tv show from what i saw.

he’s so anti canadian

omg the shit he says about the canadian government is just as absurd. he wants to kill Trudeau with his bare hands

When I was up there last year there was a lot of anti Trudeau sentiment when I was in some of the small towns and out in the sticks. It was like I was in the states listening to people bitch about Biden.

Oh the hicks are usually the ones with a “Fuck Trudeau” sticker on their pickup, which is ironic, because they are usually homophobic but I guess Justin does it for them.
