/lit/ - Literature

I genuinely feel envy about him that he can afford tones of books in nice binding and set them all in private bookcase.

How will i ever recover?

>>11109623
you literally won't
youtube stars like pewd literally exist to encourage a this generation to kill ourselves

>>11109623
He’s a manlet manchild, you could absolutely recover.

>>11109629
how is he a manchild?

>>11109655
he likes anime and collects toys

>>11109629
He's married and I'm only 5'11

>>11109610
Go to bed Felix.

>>11109610
thanks for visiting our board to shill personally

>>11109676
>only 5'11
that's tall enough to start thinking that your height isn't the reason why you're not getting laid

>>11109610
Why no! I don’t know what Pewds is doing! You’re the first to mention it on this board! Please, do elaborate; surely without your contribution we will remain ignorant to the most popular youtuber. Does it have something to do with encouraging people to read?

>>11109655
He’s a grown ass man who plays video games.

>>11109711
He says as he shitposts on 4chan.

>>11109691
Because if i can touch a vagina that means everything is fine?

>>11109711
Most people on this board play games you retard. Probably more than they read as well.

>>11109655
Last time I checked (back in 2013 so don't quote me on this) a lot of his humor is autistic screeching and making silly personifications of inanimate objects. I mean, it's the kind of thing you do wit close friend to fuck around, but not exactly the kind of thing anyone would want to be famous for.

But pewds is a millionaire, so maybe he was onto something.

>>11109711
>>11109672
come on lit i expected more from you, thats not his room, is a set, the objects in it are product placement, and his videogame playing is his job

if he were a videogame playing manchild he would be pale, fat and acne-ridden

pewdiepie has gotten pretty reasonable over the past year. I'm glad someone like him has the platform he does, I can't watch his older stuff though. it's painful.

>>11109729
That's not what he does anymore.

>>11109725
Big if true.

what did he think of Moby Dick?
at this point I feel like the world exists solely to satisfy this swedish fag, has anything in his life gone wrong?

>>11109767
>at this point I feel like the world exists solely to satisfy this swedish fag,
does he have 3 black nigger slaves now?

>>11109776
if he wanted he could have a hundred nigger slaves build him a mansion

>>11109693
what will the madman do next??

BASED, redpilled Pewds is my idol. He said nigger! He said gas the jews! Fucking based! I'd better post about this on /lit/ to btfo those libtards, epic style. Gotta raise white consciousness, shadilay.

>>11109798
absolutely seething

>>11109610
First I'm hearing of this. Knowing my younger cousins are all watching him, this seriously warms my heart.

>>11109805
absolutely seething

>>11109798
You do realise that image started as a /pol/ meme making fun of T_D right?

>>11109798
the absolute state of shitposting

>>11109610
Why do you think I would care what pseudiepie is doing?

>>11109725
Maybe a year ago, I was what you describe. Now I play tabletop Napoleonics (thinking man's game) and read plenty for uni. Napoleonics actually requires a bit of research to understand regimental colours, uniform, flags, tactics, names, etc. Too bad /tg/ is filled with disgusting Black Library pulp.

>>11109617
books aren't trophies.

>>11109798
Nobody said anything about any of that, you delusional reddit faggot.

>>11109691
>Lanklets actually believe their massless 7' skeleton will get them laid

>>11109767
>what did he think of Moby Dick?
He admitted he was too much of a brainlet to get anything from it.

>>11109617

Found the materialist. Might as well marry the books, dumbass.

>>11109610
BASED PEWDS BTFO OF LIBCYCK SNOWFLAKS. THE OVERTONN WINDOW IS SHIFTING LADS. SHADILAY

>>11109610
I'll admit i'm jelly at the fact that he reads faster than me
But other than that at least he's exposing good books to a wider audience

>>11109850

Yes. Yes It is. Literally nothing wrong in having a nice collection showing.

>>11109744
Not him but I tried to watch one of his new videos recently, and he's just as insufferable as ever. I cant stand the dumb voice (I swear it cant just be his accent) he makes.

>>11109798

>>11109610
>20mins in
>pulls out beyond good and evil

tilting the fuck out...

>>11109623
>more attractive than me
how ugly are you?

>>11109610
stop posting this finnish NEET you crossboarding redditors

Has he made a new video yet? I remember he was gonna read Stoner and Crime and Punishment, want to know what he thought about them

>>11111813
he seems to upload them at the start of the next month. This one seems a bit more dense than the rest so he might be taking his time. hoping sometime this week.

>>11111769
> implying

>>11110945
Reading fast doesn't mean anything at all if you don't get anything out of the book, I don't understand this attitude that as long as you've passed your eyes over the words you've now accomplished something

>>11110815
Are you retarded or gay? Please get off this board if you can't read two negations in a row without getting confused.

>>11111006
Maybe if you say it three times in a row without breathing in between sentences it'll become true, try it.

>>11110945
Don't beat yourself up he probably has loads of free time and doesn't have to worry about money.

There's nothing impressive about a person reading books that they will instantly comprehend. If you're impressed with the persistence it takes to read a book in the 21st century, the observation that he produces decent looking videos on a regular basis should floor your jaw.

>>11109725
they only play Pharaoh (1999)

Be honest. How old are you faggots who shill this guy?

>>11111813
Here’s a sneak peak: He describes the Wikipedia page for each and then gives a brief emotional reaction to those pages.
Not a smart dude unfortunately.

>>11114200
if they were honest they'd get banned

>>11109610
Why is this faggot shilled on every board

>>11109711
I would play games till retirement for the kind of money he's making.

>>11114217
Underage fans discovering 4chan through his vids.

>>11114206
Listened to his review, and looked up the wiki pages on American Psycho, and Kafka on the shore.
He never mentions stream of consciousness being a "thing" in American Psycho.
The incestuous sex scene is never mentioned in the wiki, nor does Pewdiepie touch on the musical element of the book, Kafka on the Shore.

>>11114264
Fair enough. I didn’t actually doubt that he read the books, my point was that his understanding of the material and the way that he chooses to present it comes off exactly like that. It’s just lazy and seems like he’s posturing. I don’t get it I guess.
I was being disingenuous for the sake for laughs, but if you’re into him and like what he says, that’s cool.

>>11110945
"He doesn't scare of anybody."
He isn't afraid of not "getting it" perfectly on the first read-through - a pervailing sentiment of many readers on lit-chan.
The sooner you read it, the sooner you'll understand seems to be his mentality.
The former mentality being the one I fell into - the not "get it" one - which upsets me.
Kinda jelly of that mentality.

>>11114287
It's amateurish. Dare I say, like a pseud.

>>11114293
Is this satire?

>>11114293
What the fuck is this post?

>>11109676
>>11109623
His fiancee seems like the type that will slowly drain him of his hobbies as she becomes the center of his attention, she seems dull and tasteless as though she never acquired any personal solidarity. Them putting out a video together going through shitty "should we get married" internet quizzes trying to find flaws about each other, only to brush over them cheerily or ironically, may correlate to their need to externally validate their consummation as internally they're uncertain--I'm probably projecting my own shit though.

>>11114200
It's been more than six years since he reached his terminal audience; it wouldn't be surprising if they were intimate fans and weren't underage.

>>11114217
/pol/tards follow him because they think he's /theirguy/. /pol/tards also crossboard frequently.

Game coders must feel terrible how they slaved over creating a game only to have some dickhead make more money from playing it

>>11114360
If it isn't a promotional video, then every yotuber/streamer has to PAY the developer for the game, to promote it to their fans.
They don't even promote it for free, they actually pay, you daft cunt. Seething jealous little shit.

>>11109629
>Self-made millionaire
>Beautiful girlfriend
>Does what he loves
>Betters himself by reading

Yeah, he's a real manchild.

really miss the times when bringing up a youtuber would result in telling you to fuck off back to red.dit

>>11114372
>if you don't respect LPers and other cancerous youtube "content creators" you're just jealous

Playing video games at all past about 16 warrants making fun of desu

>>11114372
Doesn't really matter, he's made millions, coders have not. Whose job is easier

>>11109610
Lets get him to read and recommend submission.

>>11109610
He reads more than I do, how does he do this?

>>11109610
This is some really transparent shilling, fuck off back to facebook

>>11112893
I have a pet theory that anti-materialist book posters occupy that active student mode of life comprising a mattress and unwashed blanket on the floor, spines becoming parallellogrammed under the weight of accumulated stacks littered among other neglected, out-of-mind and often juvenile tat while the owner is out spending their propensity for care elsewhere.

>>11114287
>>11114299
But are there any Youtubers that review or talk about books in a satisfying and enlightening way?

>>11109610
>Mad respek
Hello, fellow kid.

>>11114418
If it's that simple what's stopping you from making millions big guy:)

>>11109798
praise kek fellow pede!

>>11115109
really fucking awful prose you’re a massive fucking pseud nigger, made me wince

>>11109617
It's justified to envy him, and for more reasons than that. He's a handsome intelligent Swedish millionaire engaged to a beautiful Italian woman who adores him. All of this and he's only in his mid-twenties with his whole life ahead of him and endless career opportunities for decades to come. I imagine the only downside of his life is awkward encounters with his fans most of whom are in their mid-teens, but you probably get used to handling those after a while.

God, even writing about how perfect his life is makes me realize how shit mine is.

>>11109831
No, it didn't.

>>11115171
Bookchemist used to be pretty good, but he ran out of Pynchon and Delillo novels and started talking about /sffg/ fare

>tfw watching any video with Marzia in it
>tfw no woman will ever treat you that way

>>11115171
Better than Food is passionate enough to be entertaining
>>11117955
Agreed. I still watch some of his stuff.

I wonder if he's branching out to books because he's bored with anime and Vidya. I wouldn't be surprised if he goes through with this for long that he'll eventually take an extended break from the YouTube nonsense in some existential search

mods do your jobs for once you useless hotpocket-eating faggots

>>11109715
Odds he made this thread?

>>11114375
He got lucky. Literary all he has is because of luck. He became famous for screaming at a camera and being a professional victim. Yes he is successful but don't come here saying he isn't a complete immature idiot. He is the YT equivalent of a lottery winner.

>>11114377
blame /pol/ and commies for attracting faggots and blame anime for being accessible to outsiders with no common interests
