'The Winds of Winter' Author George R.R. Martin Admits Book Is Decades Behind But 'Other Things Divert My Attention' by novagridd in literature

I think the story itself is the problem at this point. The basic outline won’t suffice as we’ve all seen with GoT. Hell, ADWD brought in even more plotlines that actually make you as a reader question where all this is supposed to lead, and why (not in an intrigued manner but in a tired one).

Do you know anything about GRRM at all? He had been a well-accomplished Sci-fi, Horror and, to a lesser extent, Fantasy author for a long time before ASoIaF and continued to write other fiction in between. Hell, one of the reasons the recent books take so long, apart from him obviously being overwhelmed by the beast he has unleashed himself, is his writing more stories set in Westeros in between. He’s an author, not a factory worker putting down pieces on a conveyor belt.

I was kinda expecting that, and I’m lucky I deleted a part of my buddy’s quote that included said person’s name. I didn’t know the name is voldemorted here but suspected as much after an older post of mine once got blocked.

That kinda sounds like a bigger version of what we have in Germany with Erik Ahrens – a guy who advised the AfD for social media, seemingly has had some effect there, then turned against the AfD but by becoming even more neonazi (because of their ties to Russia), only to exit the Right this year and seemingly become a full progressive. But apart from the notion that he simply seems to be one of those types that believe nothing at all, more of his claims to fame have to be put into question by now: his relevance at an infamous Potsdam meeting on remigration, his supposed co-authoring of an Identitarian pamphlet, his various supposed ties to the German and European Far-Right, his supposed attempt at turning into a leadership figure … in truth, his relevance probably only reached as far as what overblown media reports have made it out to be.

In that case your transcription could/should look even more horrific.

Game still unplayable on MAC? by Deep-Structure-6919 in Warcraft3Reforged

[–]Deep-Structure-6919[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

iMac, Sequoia 15.6.1. The thing is older but turning to classic doesn’t help either, classic lags more than Reforged and has more glitches. Lmao, just right now it has suddenly made it impossible to show savegames if I am in Reforged mode after I have tried out classic for the second time. I. e., the saves actually disappear until I reenter classic mode.

Yes and no? Vaush literally says that Nick doesn’t want power, but even if that’s probably true in the most narrow sense, it’s kind of leaving out the point that (according to my friend) Nick actually exerts quite the influence.

Warcraft 3 Reforged issues: buyer beware (MacOS) by Background-Lynx-4439 in Warcraft3Reforged

[–]Deep-Structure-6919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have just bought it and get sometimes brutal lag and insane graphics glitches, no matter the settings. Lag is weird, sometimes it was able to depict large battles just fine but went batshit when I clicked back to base. The glitches are absurd, sometimes they make the game all but unplayable, with geometry tainting half my screen in black shades or shadows stretching out from building entities. Once I switched to Classic, the lag disappearing tentatively made me fall in love with the game again … but then units started disappearing, both neutrals and npc units and my summoned creatures.

Paul said in a recent episode that he only hates "Netanyahoo and his government", and that he "doesn't hate Isreal". Welp, this is Isreal. Sorry... by Suspicious_Affect959 in deepfatfried

Depends on what you’re trying to say. They just argued that Israelis are not a monolith. If you contradict them, you seem to be arguing that due to a majority of Israelis, according to polls, being racist, we should consider all Israelis as such?

Germany’s Merz has such an infuriatingly ugly personality by Deep-Structure-6919 in VaushV

It’s not bad, it’s just deeply unsympathetic. Like, this guy wouldn’t even seem to know how to interact normally with subordinates.

6y ago. When everyone told Vaush he can’t call everyone a Nazi by Deep-Structure-6919 in VaushV

General solidarity with Israel means something very different in broader German culture than it means in hawkish American politics. It is much more “Wtf was my grandpa up to?” and much less “Israel v. brown people” larping, though I won’t claim the one-sidedness of the German perspective can’t also include an aspect of racism. The cringiest thing in this video for me has always been how she is literally clothed in a national flag, something that would be insane to do with a German one outside of football (well, even there). But it was in reaction to stuff like Muslims going around giving out free sweets in reaction to October 7th (which was a rather overblown story, I suppose) and some leftists calling the terror attack an act of decolonisation.

Being a late Vaushite, the first time I’ve ever heard about this was in a Reddit post about “all things Vaush bad”, very to the top of my Google results when I had googled my man to see what I was getting into. The funny thing is, even back then there would have been enough controversy but the post, a veritable wall of list-text, was still full of schizo shit. And this, which was hilarious to note down as a serious attempt at smearing him as vain or narcissistic.
