Possibly. I know some publishers/stores will just auto-bump a release date from the original date.

It never occurred to me that it could be pronounced any way but "Ake-wood."

All that effort expended on A.I. Raybot...while it does seem like something Ray would do, does anyone actually want that?

did the big book ever come out?

I feel like if I subbed to this I'd also want the in-universe material, as I used to love the old blogs, etc

I know some people think Achewood is corny and it fell off towards the end but the peak stuff was just wonderful, hilarious and beautiful

the book question is mentioned here: https://www.theverge.com/23713940/achewood-chris-onstad-return-patreon-ai-raybot
sounds like the tumult of having the possible animated series be canceled followed by a shake-up at the publisher meant it didn't happen

thanks for the link mh.

yeah did not come away from that piece feeling super optimistic

I've been a John Allison supporter on Patreon for a few years but he's gone off in directions that don't interest me, so I'm going to shift that support to Onstad and see how it goes.

https://raybot.help was a lot more amusing and Achewood-like than portrayed in the article
― mh, Tuesday, 9 May 2023 18:37 (eleven months ago) link
I note that the twitter thread does mention the short-lived artisanal soda company that Onstad was part of that the recent articles seem to have missed
― mh, Tuesday, 9 May 2023 18:40 (eleven months ago) link
I did start making weird faces when I read this, though
โIโve had like two jobs for a total of 18 months in my whole life, outside of Achewood. Maybe itโs time to admit, like, This is who I am. And this is what I do.โ

Had a huge sense of dread reading that Verge piece that he was suddenly going to declare his interest in NFTs or something, small mercies. Pouring so much cash into a novelty AI thing is just nuts though, what is he thinking.
Have to admit to being gutted to hear about the Penn Ward "Great Outdoor Fight" series that got scrapped, that surely had to've been better than the failed pilot from ages ago.
