Well at this rate he is going to die one day of old age and the cannon ending will become the HBO one as the story will not be finished on the books

I saw a conversation between him and Stephen King where he talked about how laborious he found it to write consistently. He could get someone to ghost-write for him to make everyone shut up and rake in the money tho.

Honestly, same

He should just go balls to the wall left field like Life of Brian and have aliens pick them up for some zany flight or do Quest for the Holy Grail and have it be a movie at the end and the police show up to arrest the cosplayers.

Yes, I also agree he shold use cocaine.

The guy is 75. He deserves a bit of a bloody rest.

I definitely didn't think so at the time, but I consider GoT S8 a blessing in disguise now. It has managed to take my considerable interest in the story/universe and shit on it. Absolute smithereens.

So, the fact that Winds and whatever the last one was supposedly supposed to be called are never going to come out actually doesn't bum me out anymore.

He realised a few years back that a revered scion of a massacred noble line riding massive scaly creatures into battle at the head of an army of fanatics and ultimately turning into an even worse despot is just Dune again and has lost all interest in it.

And he's writing it on like an Apple 2, so like a good 30 minutes is spent waiting for his machine to boot up. By the time it does, he probably forgets that he was gonna do it.

Didn't machines at that time take mere seconds to boot?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

There was nothing to boot! My mom has MSDOS on a whatever that was built sometime probably around 1989 or 1990. Had a big red switch, flick on, a couple of strange noises, a hello line of text, and then flashy cursor let you knew you were ready to play Jeopardy or Worms.

Lol, I was like 5 when they were prevalent. I don't remember at all.

I think it is an old PC with WordStar

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

You're right, it's an old DOS machine. I misremembered

I can't tell if this is satire or real, because I know artists do weird things to get in the right zone.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago (1 children)

He absolutely does. Supposedly it helps limit distractions. I don't think it's helping.

Man loves his solitaire.
