Solice Kirsk posted:Ah, I misremembered then. I do recall thinking the entire scene didn't make a lot of sense, but I still really liked the forest bandit trip portion of the book. It might be my favorite part of the book actually. Well, that and the two paragraphs of angry smartass tree. That's weird I really had to power through that section and then he meets a literal fairy and things get much too silly

Solice Kirsk posted:I was pretty stoked at 16 when I would last through an entire Nine Inch Nail song. Kvothe hosed the tits off a sex goddess and then wrote a song about it. This makes me feel like maybe I haven't lived my best life. He had his sexual awakening with death sex god of the fae but then went back to being completely incompetent with denna so not sure how much you should read into it mewse fucked around with this message at 17:26 on Dec 2, 2018 |

The last shred of Patrick's self worth slips away as he hears through the phone, "Brandon is very easy to work with, you know." brandon wouldn't ghostwrite tho  "due to the death of all patrick rothfuss's ambition, brandon sanderson has been hired to finish the kingkiller chronicle"

BananaNutkins posted:The plot being wrapped up is pretty easy because we just need to see how things went sour and the faerie beasts got loosed on the world, Kvothe has to kill a king, and a couple other dumb things sewn up. It will end with Kvothe returning to awesomeness, now even awesomer that he's had to eat crow. You forgot not banging Denna

Atlas Hugged posted:The thing with The Name of the Wind and Rothfuss's writing is that it's so incredibly boring I couldn't be bothered to finish it. All of y'alls who are reading it ironically or whatever must have way more free time than I do and are desperate to fill it with anything. As someone who read both books my mistake was thinking the books were going somewhere and that the writer hadn’t derailed his own career

These were the original comments from Betsy Wollheim the editor back in July Inspector Gesicht posted:Rothfuss' editor comments that she hasn't seen a shred of material in nine years. Most damning comment was "I've never seen a word of book three."

I stopped the video when he loudly contradicted that those pipes were outputting steam and insisted that they were humidity, then went back and watched more after your guys comments. How much of an idiot to you have to be to put out video publicly saying that regulations are stupid and your employees are free to ignore them. Did he get his CEO title out of a cracker jack box

He talks about pulling pay increases out of his rear end like that's something any employee would ever actually want, and that seems to be the pattern for his entire philosophy of management which is like Michael Scott level of misunderstanding his job He was against having an EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK. mewse posted:Did he get his CEO title out of a cracker jack box mewse fucked around with this message at 22:47 on Dec 11, 2020 |

God I love that in several sentences describing his year, writing isn't even tangentially mentioned. Fairly low-key indeed.
