Am I too millennial to understand WTF this meme is talking about?
House of Leaves. It's a book that's been around for a bit, but I believe that it got popular with the zoomers because it was an inspiration for myhouse.wad
I suddenly find myself downloading doom II, cool
Remember: happiness has to be fought for.
I watched a few good playthroughs rather than playing myself, but do yourself a favour and go into it as blind as possible.
Oh heck,
Awesome! Thanks for sharing this.
House of leaves has been sitting on my shelf after I felt that it was really messing with my head.
I'll be checking the wad out
This is a meme about a scary book called House of Leaves. It’s a book that will make you feel unwell.
Thanks but I don't need books for that
It's an abnormaly written allegory for loneliness. Theres a lot going on in the book, but the terror starts when a journalist discovers that his new house is a fraction of an inch bigger on the inside than the outside. After that door leading to a pitch black room just shows up in their house.
It's a great book. Gave me nightmares.
Why is no one asking about 1/12th of an inch?
It's a reference to a horror book that starts with a protagonist discovering his house is slightly bigger on the inside. Spooky hijinks ensue, and somewhere along the way you loose your mind reading that book.
10/10 would recommend.

No need to ask, that is simply the length and girth of my micro penis
Seems like a fantasy metric like all the others, what is wrong with it?

I need to read that book again. It was scary, but I finished it utterly confused. I clearly missed a ton from the appendices.
Which book is this ?
House of Leaves, I believe
What book is it?
House of Leaves maybe?
House of Leaves definitely.
House of leaves, perchance
Oh, I just started reading that. Any tips?
Read each page from left to right, starting to the top.
Usually pretty good advice for a book but actually not helpful in this book.
The real answer is to read it however you want to explore it.
The one time ...
What if OP has a version translated into a right-to-left languages?
Did I stutter?
I don’t know, I was reading right to left

I am guessing no one's gonna give an actual answer to what the meme is about (yes I know it's from house of leaves, I have 0 interest in reading it) so would be actually nice to have a more in depth explanation
The story begins with a man doing the things described in the picture. He is puzzled and becomes interested in finding out more about it. His wife is not very happy about it. It's easy to get lost in a new hobby. Other people have written their opinions on the strange house, and those are included.

Oh oh oh, do one about "S" next! We love Ergodics!
Was about to say I enjoy the subtle "house" reference, but it turns out - not so subtle lol.

What is this referencing?
House of Leaves
Will, who tf is Delilah?
What
House of leaves, a good book you should read a physical copy of
Why exactly a physical copy?
Because the author plays with the physical formatting of the book, and physically having the copy you're reading is important for getting the intended experience. It doesn't work right with an ebook

I like what you did with house there.
In today's economy the bank might take that extra back.
Step 5: le minotaur
I bought it like a week ago. I will start it before it ends up on the shelf of shame like S. did.
It's been 16 hours since you've posted this. I can only hope you're near the bottom of a looooong staircase at this point.
(Seriously, don't sleep on this one - a lot of people get turned off by the experimental structure stuff but it's 100% worth reading at least once)
