I mean, Rothfuss has produced a couple novellas, and Martin has some projects. I get it, but at the same time i wouldn't blame either of them if they didn't feel comfortable releasing another of their mainline series.

I want them to, and ten years is a long ass time, but nothing they produce will live up to the hype so that probably causes a lot of anxiety.

But maybe im projecting here. Idk. I feel like the same thing is the reason we don't have a Half-Life 3 video game. The first two made such a huge impact in terms of tech and gameplay that nothing is going to live up to the hype. So you can either kill yourself trying to achieve unachievable levels of amazing, or go do something you want to do.

I think Rothfuss/Martin and others are pressured too much. No matter what they produce, it will never be good enough to satisfy the hordes of loudmouths.

There are several 'edits' you can put together online that are actually way better than the movies. They cut out a lot of the nonsense and trim around excess to provide a 2-ish hour movie that feels choppy but good.

Okay, but my cats tail points straight to the back of his head. What the shit does that mean? Is he leading me to pirate treasure?

Unrelated but, Theres a section of Prince George Canada that all of a sudden does a big U. The story i was told is that back in the day there were two competing railway companies, and one of them bought enough influence that when the city was making roads to the other company, they instead made the roads bend back.

I still have my Kickstarter book, complete with gross dead wasp.

I found a Ghost Magpie. These fellas are usually a pretty black and green colour, but sometimes they have a genetic abnormality that makes 'em brown!

Reminds me of a vintage stereo repair shop near my old place. The guy would give you a free length of lamp cord with every purchase because "its good enough".

I actually had this whole period where i would be doing something and I'd think to myself "Surely i misunderstand NFTs" then I'd stop what i was doing and check.

I don't support the use of AI tools in general, but i have a soft spot for long-term maintainers. These people generally don't have enough support for this to be a full-time hobby, and when a project becomes popular the pressure is massive.

If the community wont step up to take the burden off the maintainer, but they still want active development, what can you do? As long as the program continues to be high quality, i cant complain about a free thing.

I used to really dig Linus, i watched from NCIX up until a few years ago. I stopped watching for a bunch of reasons. I remember when he said one of the things he wanted to do when starting a company was ensure everyone that worked for him could "afford a house", then to see how he treated people and kept them at low wages was a bummer.

I mean, i guess when you grow that big that fast some things get left out, but i also feel like maybe exponential growth isn't always a necessity?

Also it seems like he's one of the only personalities online that has not increased in technical ability at all.
