James Joyce ARG / Alternate Reality Game

An alternate reality game (ARG) is an interactive networked narrative that uses the real world as a platform and employs transmedia storytelling to deliver a story that may be altered by players' ideas or actions. The form is defined by intense player involvement with a story that takes place in real time and evolves according to players' responses. It is shaped by characters that are actively controlled by the game's designers...

"Sean Stacey, the founder of the website Unfiction, has suggested that the best way to define the genre was not to define it, and instead locate each game on three axes (ruleset, authorship and coherence) in a sphere of "chaotic fiction""

REPORT TROLL

Lyra_Lycan@lemmy.blahaj.zone @Lyra_Lycan@lemmy.blahaj.zone

Reason: Breaks Community Rules

 

This is MY community, this posting is about James Joyce, it does not break any rules!

Why are you trolling me?

 

Your profile says "Pro kindness|gressiveness, Anti cruelty|bullshit."

but this report here is extremely suspect, why are you reporting posts here?

Wow, you're a sensitive little juvenile.. I forgot why but this alone is grounds for reporting lmao

Edit: I remember. This post is completely incomprehensible, like a broken spambot.

This post is completely incomprehensible

You sound incredibly ignorant, just like your report was.

Wow, you’re a sensitive little juvenile

My name is Stephen Alfred Gutknecht. I'm 55 years old. I am not a child. I have extreme severe brain damage. I am in constant pain and anguish.

like a broken spambot.

You are a confused person who reports Lemmy posts as breaking rules without citing which rule is broken. I have severe and extreme brain damage. Do you enjoy insulting the mentally impaired?

I forgot why but this alone is grounds for reporting lmao

You forgot? You have brain damage. I have brain damage too, caused by Internet assholes and information warfare.

this alone is grounds for reporting

Reporting for what, calling out your abuse of the report system?

lmao

  1. like a broken spambot

  2. little juvenile

Do you like punching down on children, young people, for using the Internet and social media to discuss James Joyce / books from ireland? You an abuser who seeks out kids to mock and insult?

This post is completely incomprehensible

"This post" is a link to a song on YouTube. You find music completely incomprehensible? Can I help you with questions about it, since you have such brain damage / memory problems.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Low_Spark_of_High_Heeled_Boys_(song)

""The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" is the title track from the 1971 album by British rock band Traffic, written by Jim Capaldi and Steve Winwood. Despite never being released as a single due to its long duration, it became a staple of North American AOR-format FM radio stations in the 1970s and still receives airplay on classic rock radio today."

"The title refers to an inscription written by diminutive American actor Michael J. Pollard in Jim Capaldi's notebook while they were both in Morocco"

Does your social media device, computer, not work with YouTube, and is that why you don't comprehend?

"At its basic, the cast of characters is Earwicker, the two temptresses (who are also Issy as a sexual being), and the the three soldiers who catch Earwicker in the act (who are also Shem and Shaun as the hopeful successors and future deposers of Earwicker). Of course, the variations are endless."

This thread is very hard to read, and I've read Finnegan's wake and Ulysses

[–] RoundSparrow@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

This thread is very hard to read, and I’ve read Finnegan’s wake and Ulysses

Have you ever studied Joycean Marshall McLuhan, University of Toronto? He covered Finnegans Wake and electric media systems (Lemmy), both.

Finnegan’s wake

Do you know there is no apostrophe in the title? Maybe you have problems remembering the book. "Wake" should also be capitalized.

"There is no apostrophe in the title; that is deliberate, to encourage a multiple reading: the wake of Finnegan; the waking of Finnegans; an injunction to Finnegans to wake. I take out my wet-ink pen and write my name on the fly leaf, a river of blue running to dry and mark my passage."

It is almost like Lemmy is full of people who make really labored trolling comments compulsively. As if they can't understand any other use of Lemmy than reaction comments. As if the entire society is in need of media ecology lessons from Marshall McLuhan and Neil Postman. Eternal September 1993 having overgrown the entire Internet.

very hard to read

Can you please elaborate what this means? Do you have vision impairment? Which software application are you using with Lemmy? Are there specific words you don't comprehend or understand? Is the brightness on your screen too low or too high? I don't understand why exactly you are having problems reading.
