kaworu posted:But yeah, I don't know what I was thinking, frankly. I should have remembered what a delicate and special sensitivity you have to this issue. How deeply inconsiderate of me to post an update about The Winds of Winter in the ASoIaF megathread, knowing that it might possibly upset SA poster Phenotype. What is the deal with this? People shitpost here to hate on GRRM all the drat time. Except every once in a while someone gets all precious over it and suddenly I'm a delicate and special sensitivity? gently caress GRRM. Sorry if it rubs you the wrong way when I tell you that his "news" is not really news?

Because shitposts suck. They're dumb, they're distracting, they're embarrassing. The world would be better if you didn't follow your impulse to write posts like this, and you would be better too.

Making fun of GRRM is praxis and we should all do it, maybe just be clear you're not attacking fellow posters. No need for infighting in a thread about a book series that will never be finished, ever

e: ^ Nah, you're right. I do want to be clear that I wasn't attacking kaworu for posting that as much as attacking GRRM for posting the same bullshit update every year and the media that gives him a platform for it. The post of mine that got linked is interesting, though, because that's not really a shitpost, is it? I'm responding to two different posters and describing both why GRRM personally rankles me, and why living a life of fame and luxury wouldn't be quite as empty as the quoted post assumes. It's basically the opposite of a shitpost, even if it isn't all sunshine and lollipops. Phenotype fucked around with this message at 17:46 on Feb 3, 2021 |

Seeing the shitposts causes me to sit back and reflect, what am I doing with my life that I choose to spend a moment of thought processing the sentence "Gurm has been working on Winds of Winter hard lately by farting nonstop for months."

A saga of novels is meant to be a sort of a unitary creation, part of the conceit that we have to swallow is that this GENIUS AUTHOR didn't only happen to write a bunch of pages but that he has within his mind a bigger work that is all there and it's all driven by a some cohesive artistic impulse, and although this is largely bullshit in most cases but with ASOIAF with the way it was rocketed into popularity by a bad show and how GURM became a huge celebrity fantasy author in the process that even if he does write a book in the series it's never going to be anything like the first novels. When gurm wrote the first one he had a bunch of evocative scenes, concepts and names he wanted to put on paper, he wasn't obsessed with lineages and continuities and he didn't have to convince the awaiting masses that the idiotic things that happened in the show had nothing to do with him. Whatever gurm writes now is going to be almost-fanfiction, the man should've locked himself in a cabin 20 years ago and finished this whole thing.

Yeah lets move on from the tedium of mocking grrm and lets get back to ACTUALLY INTERESTING DISCUSSIONS. So does anyone have a screen shot of when GRRMS blog got hacked and the hacker called grrm an absolute fucker ? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

An immersive world, memorable characters, surprising twists, mysteries. I like the series and I like seeing other people talk about it. This thread will never be the quality of the Tolkien thread but maybe that should be the inspiration rather than, like, the Trump thread.

This is the thread that made a 200 page porn parody novel of SoIaF because everyone here hates GRRM so much. Who are you?

some bust on that guy posted:This is like if I failed out of college 5 years ago because I didn't finish my final assignment and I emailed the professor today to say I'm still working on it. (But I still don't know when it'll be done lmao) No one gives a gently caress anymore. It's too late GRRM. We all know that if GRRM releases the book, especially with a "this is how it *really went* in Westeros" gently caress You to HBO, it'd sell 20+ million copies in a week even if it turns out it's 100% in line with the show and just writes out people like Mance. esperterra posted:Yeah the Tucker stuff is my big sticking point with Brotherhood just speeding through the material already covered. Whenever I've watched Brotherhood, I watch the manga coverage of '03 first to pace it out better. As much as I like FMA I'm ok with not dwelling on the Nina stuff because holy gently caress is that dark. Plus Hughes scene and it's just a 1-2 punch.

I don't care what anybody says, GRRM sitting down at a typewriter every day and saying "time to go to work" before spending the next several hours powering out farts of every length and depth and then putting another big checkmark on his calendar is in fact a worthwhile thing to post about

I heard a rumour they’re making an animated Game of Thrones show. Maybe if he ever finishes these books they can pull an FMA Brotherhood and reanimate the whole series the way he wrote it without having to spend 15 million on cgi dragons.

Are you thinking of this article https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/predicting-when-game-of-thrones-author-george-r-r-martin-will-come-out-with-his-next-book/ He’s so much slower than their “slower pace” estimates that they don’t even go past 2018.

Sassy Sasquatch posted:2011 uh. Isn't that also when production started on Star Citizen? Oh yeah, 10 years old by now. And still a sack full of poo poo. But if you ask one of the true believers, they'd probably tell you that "real" development only started yesterday, so it's unfair to judge this pre-pre-alpha wreckage of a non-game right now, you have to wait until it's finished! At least GRRM's books are fun to read, when they are finished
