lmao. noted

crazy how influential that little book is. funny enough, I grew up on Ready Player One, and by the time i got old enough to start seriously getting into tech, reading Snow Crash was like re-reading RP1 but if RP1 was actually a good story and not written by an incel copying Neal Stephenson.

sorry, hyperbole. don't mean that seriously. I was VERY much not a fan of RP2; I'm sure Neal could be a stand-up guy, just sarcasm that didn't land.

post now hidden; for my digital footprint's sake this was an off-handed late night comment expressing my disdain for poor writing in Ready Player 2 & personal thoughts on the novel.
