Yesterday's weather means my high school daughter won't be able to spend ten days of her spring break visiting me. Would love to be able to send these things she/we enjoy.

To contribute, this has the best of that type of ending I've ever seen. Have been waiting to send it to her in case the beginning got deemed inappropriate.

The link I included as an example wasn't anything directly made by Lovecraft. Please leave the discussion about his abhorrant racism for every single discussion.

If you have a Gamecube and the ability to find it, Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem was a cool/fun Lovecraftian horror game.

No, no, when he was writing about hideous miscegenated negroid mongrels it was coming from a place of love.

FWIW in his later years he did get into leftism and repudiated a lot of his earlier writing. He came at it primarily from an economic angle rather than a social one but his letters do talk about racism being a facile tool to keep the masses distracted and being embarrassed at how much he had bought into it.

There's an updated version called Tesla Force with some different mechanics but blasting the same Lovecraftian horrors you know and love

There's an online fiction series I've been reading lately called Pale Lights that you may enjoy. It's kind of a flintlock fantasy setting where humans dwell amongst the ruins of predecessor civilizations, and dying gods and spirits contract their powers to mortals to prolong their existence. It has some good creepy and Lovecraftian vibes.

Neil Gaiman wrote a short story called "A Study in Emerald". It's a Sherlock Holmes story (A Study in Scarlet) in the Lovecraft universe. It's available for free on his website in pdf (along with some other short stories).

A Colder War by Charles Stross is great.

Missile Gap is also great though less explicitly Lovecraftian.

I bought this shirt, but i'm not comfortable wearing it now because it feels to close to "All Lives Matter"
i wear shirts like it to the gym, but it's normally retro cartoons, like thundercats and transformers.

Your average person likely has no idea about Cthulhu... and I don't want to seem like a dick.

Also,

gently caress yes.

Hey, we can all go through the Euclidean postulates together. :)

Euclid posted:

1. A straight line segment can be drawn joining any two points.
This should be easy for anyone!

Euclid posted:

2. Any straight line segment can be extended indefinitely in a straight line.
Indefinitely? Sounds like a long time just to extend a line. Ha ha.

Euclid posted:

3. Given any straight lines segment, a circle can be drawn having the segment as radius and one endpoint as center.
Everyone can do a circle, I'm sure. Euclid is just making it sound more complicated than it is.

Euclid posted:

4. All Right Angles are congruent.
What the hell is a congruent? I gotta research this in this old musty tome I have laying around over here.

Euclid posted:

5. If two lines are drawn which intersect a third in such a way that the sum of the inner angles on one side is less than two Right Angles, then the two lines inevitably must intersect each other on that side if extended far enough.

It looks like something my old Army bud would wear. He was super cool until he got into podcasts and now all he does is ramble about trans people and the border.

Glorious wasn’t fantastic or anything; but, it is pretty fun if you feel like watching Jason Stackhouse commune with an old god through a glory hole.
