The monoliths in the US fucking suck, but the ones in Canada are much nicer. I passed one near Toronto and it gave an ominous hum and slowed down so I could pass. Some guy tried tailgating it and got banished, but as long as you aren't a dick, they'll leave you alone.

I highly recommend leaving them alone during mating season.

The ones in Texas all roll coal and good luck if one comes up behind you in the fast lane.

The Canadian Rectangle Monolith Dicks are the worst. Go back to France with your maple cider and health care.

Things were much nicer when the monoliths didn't glow or float. They just sat ominously in odd places.

Honestly, this might be the only way to get people to drive the speed limit.

I was convinced to play Pacific Drive, where the land attacks your car. There are many good hazards in that game to help slow people down. The random columns rising from the ground might do the trick, and help get bad drivers off the road.

I've got it on my wishlist, it does look pretty fun.

It really is. I just got to the mid game and the environment went nuts. It’s fun.

Did this person write a book because I want to read it.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 6 points 6 months ago

Not exactly the same vibe but I keep a good memory of getting engrossed into this anonymous writer that made a whole story in Reddit comments: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/9MOTHER9HORSE9EYES9

It's very dark and mysterious, it was crazy cool waiting for the next comment to drop but I think there's a repository somewhere so you can just read them all in order.

If anyone is wondering, that artwork is "Red Monolith" by LostVegas !

I actually got a print of that piece on my wall cause I like it so much haha

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 15 points 6 months ago (5 children)

Bah, that's a Twitter link. Lemmy on mobile needs a better system for seeing URL's before you click.

[–] Zoidsberg@lemmy.ca 11 points 6 months ago

Voyager shows links.

Oh wow I remember loving their work when I was on Twitter. The atmosphere with all of their pieces are so cool and unique. Shame all of their work seems basically impossible to look at without making a Twitter account 😕

I thought this was going to be about Netflix at first

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 25 points 6 months ago

Ugh, same. I'm still picking sand out of my crack from the twenty years I was banished to a barren desert betwixt our reality and another. Those and Dodge Chargers really grind my gears.

[–] Philharmonic3@lemmy.world 23 points 6 months ago

Dope adventure tbh. Real sick driving area

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 20 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Idk, the "Hoary netherworld" sounds kinda fun

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago

Hoary might not be the kind of fun you're hoping for.

Whorey might be.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 13 points 6 months ago

So he was banished to Alabama? That really must of sucked!

[–] TrousersMcPants@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

This is like a rant that Cecil would go on in Welcome to Nightvale

[–] Mostly_Harmless_Variant@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I was checking the comments strictly for a Night Vale reference. Thank you. This has been traffic.

And now, the weather.

Lvl 1 perception

Someday you may understand, fucking noobs.

They never pass the ball, they don't want to play defense, and they take five steps on every lay-up to the hoop

[–] hrimfaxi_work@midwest.social 5 points 6 months ago
