>>7628
The God that holds you over the pit of hell, much as one holds a spider, or some loathsome insect over the fire, abhors you, and is dreadfully provoked: his wrath towards you burns like fire; he looks upon you as worthy of nothing else, but to be cast into the fire; he is of purer eyes than to bear to have you in his sight; you are ten thousand times more abominable in his eyes, than the most hateful venomous serpent is in ours. You have offended him infinitely more than ever a stubborn rebel did his prince; and yet it is nothing but his hand that holds you from falling into the fire every moment. It is to be ascribed to nothing else, that you did not go to hell the last night; that you were suffered to awake again in this world, after you closed your eyes to sleep. And there is no other reason to be given, why you have not dropped into hell since you arose in the morning, but that God’s hand has held you up.

The written word has long been my favorite medium for storytelling specifically because of how interpretive it is. When reading I can change the style I use to visualize things and it can completely change the experience of a book. Once you see an adaptation of a book that is lost, or at least heavily damaged. Having literally scene what the characters look like and how scenes play out I find myself having to actively avoid falling back on the movie or comic or whatever for my visualization, even when they go expressly against the text. For example, here's a bunch of artwork for The Hobbit that predates any movie adaption. There were so many interpretations of things like Gollum before the movies, and now there's only one. The recent Gollum game has (among many far more valid criticisms) been widely criticized for changing Gollum's face from what the movie went with. Only the face, the rest is just a slight variation of the movie design. In addition, the nature of writing leads it to being the most detailed medium of storytelling by far. You can look into peoples heads without breaking the flow, showing an inner monologue in a movie would be criticized for telling not showing; you can explain action with all the wonderful flavor of English connotation; the difference between lumbering or striding or marching to describe somebody walking for example (this is also a very interpretive part of writing, as connotation is naturally subjective); you can go into absurd world building detail, as seen with The Silmarillion and the Lord of the Rings appendices. All of these aspects are lost when you turn a book into a movie. This isn't to disparage other mediums for storytelling, only to enumerate some of the strengths of writing and explain why it is my favorite. Some of these strengths are even shared with other forms, but never all. For this reason I am pretty against adapting books, and adaptations in general. I feel like stories should be left in their original medium, you can make connected stories across mediums, but again you should perhaps not; a movie can be a squeal to a book, but again the visualization aspect will be hurt by showing exactly how the characters look. I want to hear more thoughts and perspectives about adaptions, though I don't want this to devolve into arguing about how faithful adaptions should be and which adaptions are best; I've had that conversation plenty of times.

I don't personally have a favorite medium for story telling, I think there are great and terrible examples for all of them. I do find myself becoming more easily emotionally attached to writing, however. I'm not sure why, but I think it's probably because having a visual lets me detach from it and add a degree of separation between me and the characters. I wouldn't say writing is necessarily "better" than a movie, although I don't get the sense that's what you're trying to say, I think that certain methods of story telling suit one format better and more easily than the other.
I have to say I'm iffy on adaptations. On one hand, It allows someone to see a very fleshed out version of someone else's interpretation. It's also condenses the book into a more digestible package for most, especially if the book is a difficult read or not one that the moviegoer may otherwise read. And generally, they get the main plot points correct. On the other hand, many details and nuances are left out entirely. Not mention that movies aren't just one person, they're essentially a game of telephone when it comes to communicating the interpretation of a book.
While adaptations do pigeon-hole people into seeing only one interpretation and only seeing it as "correct," I've never really had a problem with it. The way I see it, adaptations are very much for some people and not others. I just don't view others' adaptations to not influence myself too much. Or I'll view as many as possible to "give myself options" as far as visualizing text goes. And as far as influencing other adaptations or expansions of the story, such as the Gollum game example you gave, I view it as two different versions of the same story. I know the OG book version and it's description, and other's know the movie one. Like if I read one translation of a book while most people read a version with a different translator.
TL;DR: They're not my cup of tea, and I don't think they should stop being made, mostly because I don't consider an adaptation truly the same story as the source.

In my childhood I had similar feelings as OP, I even could not stand illustrations in books very much, because in my opinion they were always wrong, that is different from my personal interpretation.
But as I grew older, I began to see adaptations (or at least the good ones among them) more as works in their own right, inspired by but still fundamentally different from the adapted work. Although, of course, I must admit that there are genres that are clearly less suited to adaptation than others.
The basic problem, therefore, in my eyes, is much more the modern film industry, (Yes, exactly -industry!) whose goal is not to create a work of art, but merely mindless entertainment. Of course, nothing of quality will come from them.

 No.874

>>777
Say what you will but sometimes adaptations are superior to the original work. See "I'm thinking of ending things" for example. In my opinion it is much sharper and more well thought out, as well as just as thought-provoking, compared to the original book.

I do agree that there is definitely the point that adaptations pigeon-hole the interpretation into one view, but in my opinion that one view is not necessarily restrictive considering adaptation is also the creation of a new piece of art.

My biggest problem with adaptations is that we live in an extremely art-saturated world, as making all forms of art (even, though certainly least of all, movies) has become incredibly easy and acquiring them is much, much easier, and we rest on the backs of thousands of years of all art forms. I have no justification to see a diluted version of a piece of art; it is always better to go to the source. In fact, abstaining from all art that has any adaptation could not save one from being drowned in art if they wanted to. As an example, I like the Narnia movies a good deal. Someone made me watch a few of them one time and they resonated with me. As good as the Narnia movies are, though, their original source is better, as it is the source, and there is no reason for me to watch Narnia rather than read Narnia. Another good example is the Cowboy Bebop manga; not bad necessarily, but unjustifiable in the face of a product that is just that manga but better. The only justifiable adaptation in my eyes is the remake - that is, taking a bad piece of art and redoing it so that it is good. The modern adaptation is also valid - a la Heart of Darkness to Apocalypse Now - but I think even that should be avoided with the current state of things. I should also state that there is obviously nothing wrong with enjoying an adaptation; it's their creation that is the problem.

The only good counterargument to this that I know is that strong preferences for a certain kind of media justify bringing an art piece over to them; for example, the Thrawn comic adaptation brought the Thrawn trilogy to people who would have never read the book because they don't read books. That is a good point, but I point again to the saturation issue - there is more than enough material to satisfy someone who only watches movies or reads comics for an entire lifetime not counting adaptations.

I've used Linux for side projects for years now, but I want to use it for general use as I've been working on taking more ownership of my own tech little by little. I'm tech literate enough to install LineageOS with MicroG on my phone, build my own computer, and I've done a little coding with an Arduino. but I've always bounced off of Linux as a main operating system. Sometimes it'll seemingly fill up my hard drive at random, sometimes Wine/Proton will fail to install a repacked game that's supposed to run fine, sometimes it'll be really fucky about hard drive permissions, and after hearing about how fucky X and Wayland can be for different reasons, the thought of trying to run Davinci Resolve and OBS concerns me. I currently use a laptop running Debian stable for simple web browsing and OnlyOffice, and it seems to be running good so far, while the heavier stuff is done on my main computer running Windows 10 LTSC with it's own separate identities/accounts. How do I transition what I do on Windows to doing similar things on Linux? I can use a different video editor if need be and I can live with a game here and there not working, but I want to spend most of my time using the computer rather than fixing it. I have spare computers if I just feel like tinkering for the fun of it.

Just keep using Windows to do the things you can't do on Linux. I use Linux 99% of the time but still have two computers lying around with dualboot installations of Windows 10 in case I want to play vidya or run other proprietary programs.

Holy fuck, I know none of the shit I vent about here will ever help, I am a lost fucking cause. Neo liberalism allows sad fucks like me to bypass the laws of natural selection.
I was gonna meet my friends who I've abstained from for 8 months today. I was gonna go to church and beg for the means to push though my sad state of fucking being and praise the lord for my gifts. I was gonnaq gonna study literature this year. I was gonna excell in my studies these two fucking weeks.

Today I spent all of my fucking day fucking gooning. Not giving a single fuck of awareness. Fucking GOONING. I spent the most important day for me to see the only people who have t bear my loser fucking personhood. Fuck. I want to fucking kill myself out of anger of myself. Waste of fucking time.
Its midnight now. Just finished my gooning fucking session, of building up for 8 hours. Only now it striked me, fuck my motherfucking soul. It was such a fucking giant orgasm I entered a meditative state for a minute, and all I could think of? It gave me a realization, a long time I've had such a brain numbing orgasm, I realized I've spent a year using my dick, not computers, not imageboards, not alcohol or someshit MY FUXKING DICK. IVE BEEN GOONING ALMOST EVERY FUCKINV DAY for . I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED NOTHUNG NOT OUT OG LAAZINESS, OUT OF FUCKING GOONING. FUCKIBG G O O N I N G. I've been using my fucking porb addiction anf wasted the most important fucking years of my life.

I know I'm still a faggot and will keep gooning, a gun to my wasteful skull would be good merit. I will do hypnosis as it did help plenty and shit but I doubt I will overcome my bullshit, its all just shorf delay to the eventual conclusion. Not sure if I'll sleep this night. To wake up with fresh thoughts and decide to goon again? Epictetus would kill me for natures sake, what the fuck am I doing in my life. Even now, posting this here, its complete bullshit. Holy fuck i sill ve surprised the day my death comes. My life is short term bullshit. Goodbye.
