Josh Sawyer Q&A Thread

[<3sRichardSimmons]

Oh FFS. Can’t we put the feud nonsense to rest already? Haven’t any of you ever had a personal dislike, but grudging respect for a colleague? Boom. MCA and JES in a nutshell.

 

[Butter]

Couldn't help but notice how he didn't even tag Avellone in this tweet, as everybody else would have probably done.

You didn't tag Chris Avellone either, fucking asshole.

 

[FreeKaner]

Yeah I have had a colleague like Sawyer once, wouldn't shut up about far-fetched racialist theories about origins of particular races and their superiority and worldwide conspiracies.

 

[santino27]

He doesn't seem like the tagging type to begin with.

I beg to differ.

 

[Nano]

He's trying to say sorry to MCA for whatever it is he did but doesn't want to be too obvious about it.

 

[Sailor Woedica]

It’s still so cool that Microsoft is paying Josh to write an rpg book

Here's extra drama...instead of tweeting at Josh, Chris only tagged pcgamer's article on the tweet:

A game where you go on a road trip on Joe Biden's van. Sounds like it has potential to me.

 

[santino27]

Josh being thirsty AF.

Always.

 

[Roguey]

Yeah, those bangs look like crap.

 

[Sacred82]

In My Horny Opinion

 

[Latro]

sawyer saving himself for the old cat-ladies

 

[FreeKaner]

Josh horny on the main like all internet neo-nazis.

 

[Nutria]

Half of the Codex is furiously at work right now trying to make their bangs curly enough to please him.

 

[TT1]

Looks like its an old video, reuploaded, but whatever. He just posted it.

 

[Infinitron]

Yeah that's from four years ago. Looks like he shut down his other YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5HzrirseBlwU4aCd_3GUEA/videos

 

[Butter]

He also uploaded a Darklands playthrough.

Fantasy/Sci-Fi > History. Story based history games that are not map painting sandboxes can easily be accused of historical revisionism, and the same settings get boring over time. When meddling with history, you should be extremely responsible, because a lot of uninformed people will buy into made-up crap with ease. In terms of RPGs, you have to also follow real life rules, which are limiting and will also get old at one point. Some historical games are fine to exist of course, because they are in of themselves something new, such as Expedition: Vikings. But it should never be the dominant setting.

I would rather Obsidian makes some high fantasy blobber with historical elements and RTWP gameplay.

I think there are more fantasy/sci-fi RPGs cos they can pass for lack of realism much easier. f.i. they can make a town with 10 people in it, yet the town would have an erl, guards, traders etc. and we wouldn't question it cos its fantasy, yo. Or, there woulda been many RPGs set in modern cities, if it were easier to create & simulate a modern city. There are less realistic games cos its hard to make it realistic/historically accurate, not because it would be less fun.

Update on drama!

Josh actually tags Chris:

(ok you can't actually see it in the picture but he totally leaves Chris still tagged in the reply, so technically he's tagging him

)

But Chris is now totally vaguebooking Josh but still takes the time to write down Horizon Zero Dawn's John Gonzalez:
