Sham bam bamina! posted:Star Citizen is the The Winds of Winter of games (Rothfart is small fry and doesn't deserve the comparison); The Name of the Wind is the Duke Nukem Forever of books (it took over a decade to come out but was released). Star Citizen is remarkably obscure given the amount of money that it raised, presumably because a large fraction came from small pods of whales spending thousands of dollars. It certainly doesn't have the recognition ASoIaF did even before Game of Thrones. Then again, ASoIaF took 15 years to release 5/7 books (2-3 of which are good) and has had 9 years of silence, versus KKC releasing 2/3 mediocre-to-bad books in 4 years and also having no ending in sight 9 years later. Star Citizen's kickstarter is "only" 8 years old. It's so hard to decide.

Man, some of those answers are particularly hot garbage. The next book will cover... between a year and a century? The number of surviving characters will not be exactly 2? C'mon, dude, at least try.

When his editor called him out for not writing, I wonder if he reached out to contact her about things - an apology, a progress report, etc. - or if he scuttled into the dark and is avoiding the situation. No idea on the behind-the-scenes situation on that.

Do you mean like, does he personally care about this professional relationship with people who work in the publishing industry and is he managing that? Uh that's a silent no of three parts, one part the cut gas sound of a paunchy neckbeard who dresses like a tween shopping at Hot Topic farting, one part the sound of a beard elemental jerking himself off reading his own prose in his debut novel, and one part the muted cash register noise going off every time his "charity" gets a donation he can siphon 40% off of.

There's times I feel bad for Rothfuss, because I don't think he did the necessary work into learning how to construct plot and character before stumbling into incredible success. That sabotaged his growth because he now never has to write the book, the money wont run out before he dies as long as he's not a total moron with his investments. All the posturing is just a way to hide the insecurity that he has huge gaps in his skillset, and after 8 years of playing games on twitch the ability he has probably atrophied so its even harder to begin again and deliver one of the most anticipated fantasy books of modern times. Other writers who didn't find such instant success had to work a lot harder and have more muscle memory and trained discipline to rely on when the words won't come.

Yeah he invested a bunch of money into a shop making custom gaming tables that actually wants to be a reality tv show and has had numerous safety and leadership concerns just in the last 3 weeks. So no, I don’t think he’s going to be smart in his investments.

I don't actually think custom gaming tables is a bad idea for a business, especially if it was run by a business that made furniture and added a line making custom tables for gamers and brought on board a gamer to manage and market it.

It's a fantastic idea because Geek Chic had a 6 month waitlist and people were beating down their doors to buy those bespoke gaming tables. Its just those people ran it like morons and burned tons of capital trying to act like a tech unicorn.

i haven't looked at what wyrmwood does but the real answer: geek chic tables had lots of options for removable panels, could have grids etched into them, could have big built-in DM screens you would pull up from the table's surface, recessed pockets to roll dice in without them falling off, all kinds of poo poo like that. if you had a stupid amount of money to get a tricked out one they were actually really good pieces of hardware if you were deep in that particular nerd hole

If I ever get around to finishing my basement there a nonzero chance I'll put a gaming table down there (that I build myself). Problem is I'm an adult man with adult friends and getting more than 2 or 3 of us in one place is an impossible feat so board game nights don't happen too often anymore.

It was hard enough to get any of my big nerd friends in the same room together before the pandemic, now it's even harder e: to clarify we can all physically fit into the same room, easily.
