TV Zombie posted:What the heck? speedrunning minecraft? finish the drat book! He can’t finish something he hasn’t started. Pretty sure the reason he went silent was because his editor mentioned she has seen *nothing* from him for the third book. Rothfuss knows he’s a hack who got lucky and he has no reason to write another book because he’s already rich.

I would love to be a hack who got lucky. Much respect to him for living his best life. The issue is really all the people who worshipped his awful writing in the first place and put him on the radar.

That's very true. It's why I have a lot of love for someone like William King who knows exactly what he's doing and where his standing in the literary canon is.

maybe it's because that picture's low-res but did he try to kool-aid dye his eyebrows too and just end up staining his skin EDIT: eXXon posted:Well that certainly was cringeworthy writing, but more literally, how about this tattoo? Bonus points for the person saying it was delayed due to covid but now is deffo the right time to go for it! honestly that tattoo doesn't look too bad as long as they never, ever explain what it is

Patware posted:honestly that tattoo doesn't look too bad as long as they never, ever explain what it is I had the same thought until you actually look at it. If it had a quarter of the different imagery in it then it might actually look pretty cool. Less is more and all that.

a) what the gently caress shop do you have to talk about with Terry The gently caress Brooks b) "Pat Rothfuss absolves you of your social sins" is a LOT coming from him c) has he said what charity? is it his bullshit charity that pays his rent?

I'm almost tempted to watch Pat give writing advice and answer questions about Book 3, but actually no gently caress that.

The idea of a 14 hour livestream of any author is ridiculous, much less Rothfuss. There's maybe a handful of authors I'd want to listen to 14 hours of conversation from period, and the one thing in common is they all have extensive seperate works that all explore different ideas and worlds. Not 2.4 books of homeless harry potter.

The first question he has decided to answer is whether or not quarantine has made his work easier, and he's avoiding even this one.

It has "lazy storytelling". I kinda missed what the lazy storytelling was because I've been also hanging out with some Discord friends for a stream that was already scheduled.

Just found out that if Kvothe played a real-world song at the Eolian, he would play the Barenaked Ladies' "If I Had a Million Dollars".

Rothfuss is explaining that his titles are too deep and rich with emotion to translate into other languages. "It's called The Slow Regard of Silent Things. What does that even mean?" ed: " 'The patient, cut-flower sound of a man who is waiting to die? What does that even mean?' 'gently caress, man. I don't know. I sure wouldn't want your job. Translate it!' "
