This man makes $15M/year using a single monitor

It's probably more important that he writes in an OS / program that doesn't allow for distractions.

This woman made a fortune by being born.
Why does Jow Forums need more?

Only 15m/ year? I feel like got is worth way more. I wonder hoe muxh his publisher makes

>I feel like got is worth way more
you're retarded

How the fuck does he make $200M a year?

Obviously the franchise is worth more. Comparing it to hp , tw and 50 for example

Nespresso. What else?

>Seinfeld made more, Hugh Laurie probably made more.

Pathetic.

> write shit for the masses
> earn money
omg what a discovery. nobel prize when

Asoiaf isn't shit. Problem is he's a libshit feminist

this
so many books are published you cant even imagine. even in languages where the audience is just 10 million (yeah you can always get a translator but the quality usually decresases).
You are fucked by default if you mother tounge is not english, spanish, german.
You can be talented as fuck, write the next HP or got or 1984, monte christo but it doesnt mean shit. No one would know about got now if hbo doesnt make it mainstream and Got was considered a success writing beforehand.

Truth is paris hilton can write a book with her butt and it will make money. Your masterpiece? Good luck with that, you will need it. Thats why book publishers usually demand you to pay some for the publishing beforehand because the competition is so fucking high they can make the intial costs like printing, proofreading, design the writers problem. They are literally doing the shotgun approach and dont care about the outcome because sooner or later they will have a lucky strike that makes big dollar.

No one said they needed more. They wanted more. Stop being upset at what other people buy.

kek

Based and redpilled.

once you understand that all faucets of society are a pyramid scheme, you stop being attached to the outcome of your creative efforts. then it is truly fulfilling

what text editor does george use to write his books?

>sells his Magnus Opus to 2 tv jews that make it a sof porno low quality shock value soap opera

WordStar, I think

this guy made a huge mess & he's not interested in programming anymore

what if.. he was better than those millions of writers?

it's not what i'm saying at all
kys

if he was so much better then why is there nothing special about this shitty book? literally nothing is new or special about got. objective fact!

what's his tax policy?

2 monitors is optimal for heavy programming tasks

1 monitor for most other tasks

3 would probably be cool for some specific tasks like music production or engineering

What a boomer he could just use an ordinary computer and use word or lo writer without spellchecking or just a simple word processer like wordpad

I feel like two is the right amount. I had three and didn't use the third, now the third is connected to another PC and I use it.

No fucking wonder that faggot can't fucking finish his fucking books.

it's all you need, no distractions.

What monitor is that?

What a brainlet
It's not about new, it's about how you present it
Same with HP, nothing new but it's all presented really good.
Nothing's new at this point.

Because it only takes one monitor to be a talentless edgy hack

At least he has a TFT monitor on his DOS machine now.

Who the fuck is this fat faggot fuck, gay Santa Claus?

Neal Stephenson writes doorstoppers in fucking emacs. It has nothing to do with his software.

Good. He's even worse than Stephen King, if you can believe that. At least Tolkien knew he was writing for children, Martin seems to think someone with a mental age above 13 would be interested in his trite hackwork. He is mistaken.

>Edgy
It's not a controversial opinion. Tolkien himself said it. If you think his work is suitable for a developed mind then you probably don't have one yourself.

These guys do way more than that and don't use ANY monitors.

He exchanged letters with university students regarding the etymology of the languages.

I distinctly remember Jow Forums having better bait than this in the past.

That has very little to do with the stories themselves. I'm not calling him a philistine just because he wrote for children.
You new to move on to more mature works, I think. Tolkien is good for children, but adults need broaden their horizons.

N-neither was Clooney.

Really? He wrote a shit tonne of rape scenes and the like.

When he got scolded by a know it all feminist, I beleive he rebuked her and said he includes that stuff as that's how the world is and it'd be dishonest to go and make his book a snowflake's wet dream.

I never understood the appeal of trying to frustrate other people by pretending to be dumber than you actually are.

Yes, it's WordStar 4 specifically iirc.

From literature point of view, how good bad is Games of Thrones?
Is it better, par, worse than Lords of the rings / Harry Potter?

Yes, it is odd. I'm not sure why so many think Tolkien's fantasy works are anything but good reading for children. He wrote them as bedtime stories for his own children, for goodness sake. I think it's just that the average intelligence among literate people is so low nowadays. But hopefully that retard retreats back into his hole and stops bothering us.

Much worse than Lord of the Rings.
Better than Harry Potter.

It's like a poorly written LotR with attempts at mature themes peppered with smut and vulgarity. I'm not sure who the intended audience is. Harry Potter is bad even as reading for children, so maybe that is an apt comparison, but a parent may still allow their child to read Harry Potter (though they shouldn't), unlike Game of Thrones.

stop giving him (you)s, faggot

>pretending
heh

I'd do that too, especially at his age.

So these three are the most famous novels series.

Which novels are for non-npc people?
Foundation Series(I Robot)?
Or Something I don't know.

Pynchon and Joyce.

The Redwall books had a more exciting medieval fantasy plot than Game of Thrones desu.

This geek enslaved millions and sold his company to the NSA.

And he did it with 3 monitors

He enslaved millions to save billions (of africans).

made me chuckle
have a you

IBM didn't make it, they bought it from Bill Gates who bought it from since dude for 50k.

Germans read at a significantly higher rate than most other countries, thus you are more likely to be discovered.

Watch Pirates of Silicon Valley.

Made many times more than OP with dual monitor, imagine what he and others could do with three....

>Harry Potter is bad even as reading for children
I've only read the first book, but I don't remember it as being so awful that it couldn't even be recommended as a children's book. Does this change in the later books?

>Which novels are for non-npc people?
LotR is honestly good for everyone.

>Tolkien himself said it.
No, he said he wrote the books for "his children". He wrote the Hobbit for them when they were children age-wise, and LotR for them when they were adults.

>but'd rather not again any time soon
Why? Honest question.

It is just mind numbing drivel. Not suitable for children, since there is nothing to be gained from reading it. Like eating food with no nutritional value.
No, it is a children's story, written for children. Do you really think Tolkien would write such a simple work for adults?

why would he need more than one monitor? He only writes about dicks.

Huh, so there was nothing wrong with me falling asleep during LoTR as an adult having never seen it as a kid.

This man makes billions a year and doesn't even use a monitor except to play games like bridge and helicopter!
