I will bet anyone on this image board $100 U.S. dollars that he talks about or writes about Pokemon Go in some capacity before the conclusion of this year.

Any response to your would constitute talking about Pokemon Go in at least some capacity.

I already have. Some people mentioned it to me. I installed it and realized it was stupid. Fun stuff.

I continue to remind people that Pokemon Go is almost 99% a reskin of a previous Nianta project that totally flopped. Without the brand recognition of Google and Pokemon, the product is insipid. It's purely superficial. It is not the first and it will certainly not be the last, however it brings nothing to the table in its design, gameplay, or design style.

why do I keep hearing that literature degree is a waste if you want to learn how to write?

if literature in college is basically learning cultural marxism and feminists analisis of classical books, where the fuck do I learn about the techniques of good writing?

fuck.

Just like any other skill, to get better you need to practise. If you want to get better at writing, you need to write more.

They're drug-addled degenerates obsessed only with their own genitals. Anyone with a Twitter or a Facebook will never produce anything of any real merit. The real saviors of literature will be reactionary weirdos who fetishize the early Modernists.

literature is about to be rendered obsolete by a psychedelic onslaught of hyperreal dreamtime memes

What is the best book for teaching yourself latin? I saw this at my local used bookstore, but was reluctant to buy it in case there was something better.

I recall seeing a similar thread where someone mentioned that Wheelcock was a good start, and they mentioned some others as well, but I can't remember who or what or why.

>>8287177
Wheelock is good for grammar.

Lingua Latina is a book written entirely in latin, but the early chapters are latin that's so easy to read anyone could do it. "Italia in Europa est", so on. It gets more complex and introduces authors and poets.
>>
>>8287177
Good luck buddy. Latin is difficult. Not at all like learning a romance or germanic language.
>>
>>8287547
What makes it so difficult?

What are your opinions on this collection?

I thought it was good for a young poet's first collection, but was severely lacking in substance.
Do think rupi kaur has potential given how young and inexperienced she is as a poet. A refreshing take on modern gender issues. Do not like how it reads like a Tumblr blog and it does spout some of the same trite memes.

Shit, did you actually made this thread, I can't even believe.

she has some interesting imagery and the like but she has no classical training as a poet and has no understanding of convention meaning she has no concept of what can be considered fresh or unique in poetry

i mean 7.5/10 would smash but eh

Hey /lit/ I' invoking your help in writing a research proposal. I have never written one but it is my last chance or hero. No job, no girl, no prospects...only choice is grad school (phd). But I need a research project in cultural studies. Please /lit/ give some ideas about a topic that sounds interesting about Latin American culture so I get the admission to a local university. Thank you

real advice:

humanities PhD are horrible prospects from a life and career and financial perspective. people do them if they truly autistically love a certain topic and are OK with making a lot of sacrifices for it.

there are almost no options following a PhD if it isn't from a top school (ivy or equivalent) and it's a hard life even then.

doing a PhD at a local uni in cultural studies because you have no other life plans is a HORRIBLE idea, especially if you don't even know what you want to focus on and need to ask us.

don't throw your life away op do anything else.

You're missing the point, anon. None-meme authors don't become multimillionaires.

Writing is supposed to be a public service, not a lucrative rock star career.
>>
>>8287094
I'm being very serious here, if you want to become a prolific and famous writer that makes money off of the profession, your books will not be good. It's as simple and as tragic as that.
