Is there anywhere we can find a translation yet or is it too early?

I really hate how screenshots have replaced actual articles. I want to know more.
because modern online articles are filled with 800+ words of literally no meaning other than getting the viewer to see the 2,000 ads plastered on the website

Scientists at the Science Lab for Sciencey Science this Thursday have found a thing. The thing is a science thing found by scientists at the Science Lab for Sciencey Science.

Omg this is the very first moment in my life that I might start to look forward to AI writing articles.
And… it’s already over. Bc such articles may be shorter, but they will find their own way to become enshittified for the sake of profits.
And seeing that immediately invalidates whatever claim the headline makes, so it’s important to know.
Looks like it’s the 2015 discovery:
It was a handful of extra lines that described the Cedar Forest being much more lively and noisy, acting like a whole royal court, than previous versions. It also showed that the whole tablet was much more recent than previously thought.
Dang kids and their tablets …
Gilgamesh, a king. Gilgamesh, a king, at Uruk. He tormented his subjects. He made them angry. They cried out aloud, send us a companion for our king. Spare us from his madness. Enkidu, a wild man from the forest, entered the city. They fought in the temple. They fought in the street. Gilgamesh defeated Enkidu. They became great friends. Gilgamesh and Enkidu at Uruk.
The new friends went out into the desert together, where the great bull of heaven was killing men by the hundreds. Enkidu caught the bull by the tail. Gilgamesh struck it with his sword.
They were victorious. But Enkidu fell to the ground, struck down by the gods. And Gilgamesh wept bitter tears, saying, 'he who was my companion through adventure and hardship, is gone forever.
I almost forgot about ASOIAF completely. I still remember when A Feast for Crows came out after a couple of years of waiting, and how eager I was to read it. And A Dance with Dragons was generally an unenjoyable mess for me, feels like a forced afterthought.
It’s been almost 20 years, time to give up GRRM. I’m sure you have a couple more unrealized ideas that took a backseat while you finished it.
that shit looks like it’s written in size 4 font. were Babylonians ant-sized?
Finally! I’m still waiting for Chess 2.0 though
Holy hell!
New response just dropped.
Actual brainrot
New Chess! Now with boxing gloves!
Chess Boxing is already a thing.
Of course it is. We can add hookers and blackjack.
As is ski boxing (Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy)!
A Dance With Dragons took him 6 years to write. It’s been 13 years since then. Even if Winds of Winter came out tomorrow, it would take him 26 years to write A Dream of Spring given that each book takes twice the time the previous one did. Sadly it’s vaporware at this point.
Oh good, another chance for people to casually talk about how they expect a person to die soon.
I don’t think it’s so much that people expect GRRM to die soon – nevermind the fact that he’s well into his 70s and rumors about his health are irrepressible – as it is that the most recent book in the series was released thirteen years ago.
Between the first two books, there were two years, then another two years for book 3, then five years, then six. It’s simply a matter of an unfavorable mathematical progression. Even if by some miracle he drops Winds of Winter tomorrow, the planned final book would seemingly take at least as long again to finish, and given the difficulty of endings, probably much longer than that. GRRM could live to 100 and we would be lucky to see him complete this series.
“Soon” doesn’t even come into it.
You’ve just jumped at the opportunity to prove my point.
I love to read and I have loved reading the ASOIAF series and of course I’d love to get to the end (I never bothered to watch the TV show). But I can’t get my head around the entitlement to that finale meaning I can complain about another human’s mortality! If I get them then great, but the constant need to piss and moan about it just baffles me.
