Decline Where my Bubbles Gone?

[Excidium II]

So that question of who did is still out there.

Hmm I wonder who would go and get a neutral positive obsidian fan and a tyranny steam key together.

When the Watch sends their users, they're not sending their best:

Yup, when they send for their reasonable, eloquent and learned it's when the Codexers duck & cover.

See you next week Bubbles.










or after xmas

I'm not privy to any discussions between staff. The original message was written by Infinitron, and Crooked Bee was also on the thread from the start. Bubbles was brought in a couple of messages later.

Incidentally, the AoD thing came up on it (I didn't mention it in my first draft). Here's what I had to say about it:

I haven't played AoD. I did buy it but couldn't make it past puttering about in the starting village. That's why I would feel very uncomfortable making comparisons to it, although the thought did occur to me.

Ultimately I decided that it would be unfair to VD not to mention it at all, given the focus on C&C that both games have, so I added the nod to it. I attempted to formulate it as neutrally as I could, but clearly did not succeed. Had I been informed of the butthurt it caused, I would have been happy to remove the reference, but once the cat was out of the bag I figured it was too late. I don't like post-publication changes unless it is to correct clear factual errors, and then only with a note at the end about the change.

I agree, it's hard to tell.

Infinitron won't let me add this to the OP, but Tyranny also offers in-game items as pre-order DLC: (...)

Let's hope we get an official answer on the possibilities of optional customizability of the UI. It would make errrybody happy, and it's probably not hard to implement.

Spread the message !

Infinitron already made a post in the official thread to ensure that inXile would do just the opposite: https://forums.inxile-entertainment.com/viewtopic.php?p=175452#p175452

That on-screen tips and hints are compared to quest logs only shows how far into the decline we are.

Truly we are in the abyss.

No, that's just Infinitron.

Can't wait for the "wait and see" dumbfucks to show up again.

Come on, tell us how that's not dumbing down and how we need more proof.

The part that Bubbles didn't quote provides some proof.

Yes, I can close the pop-up after it has opened. That doesn't change the fact that it's telling me how to beat the encounter.

Looks like Infinitron is keeping secrets from us. Typical.

Infinitron claims another victim:

And again, once again, I'm going to stick my neck out for the sake of Codex' well-being, by revealing just a small glimpse of what happened behind the scenes in regards to Prime Junta's review. I suppose this could get me banned, or possible expelled from the Inner Circle, but since when has that ever stopped me?

Prime Junta's review was "submitted". Nothing was said, in what I read, about "asking him" to review the game. If that's true -- if he was supposedly asked to do the task -- it must have been in a PM or on Steamchat or something like that. So that question of who did is still out there.

Furthermore, in the back-and-forth that occurred prior to the review being "approved", Bubbles and someone else who I shall not specify argued mildly about the very issue at the core of this deal: whether or not Junta should have made comparisons to AoD despite never having played more than 15 minutes of the game and, more specifically, whether it was appropriate to include that portion based on what I would perceive to be 'Codexian standards' for our reviews. Bubbles put up a good argument as to why that portion should be removed or at least reworded, but unfortunately for whatever reason, it wasn't done.

Should Bubbles have done what he did and posted the review as-is for a total of about five minutes out of what I guess to be frustration with Prime Junta and his apparent intractability on the issue (I'm speculating here)? No, but he did remove it right away after probably having come to his senses.

Prime Junta's the one who chimped out IMO and even stamped his own doom by tagging DU to nuke him. Yet now we sit here in this nice little shit pool that Junta himself filled up with his two fuckups while Bubbles says fuck it I'm out.

Sickening!

I privately asked Bee for my ejection on Monday and expect it to go through at some point in the near future. The decision has been well-considered, as far I can judge that myself. I do not plan to return to these forums in any capacity, and I think I'll be able to stick to that. I won't post about RPGs anywhere else, and I won't publish content anywhere else. I apologize to everybody I have hurt or offended.

My remaining Gamescom+GDC content will be delivered to Bee unless she objects. It will consist of pure transcripts, without any commentary. The commentary should be left to those who are still part of the site.

Lol, what a fag. OMG SOMEONE WROTE SOMETHING I DISAGREED WITH I'M OUT OF HERE FOR EVER AND EVER. Go jerk off for a while, son.

Codex. Codex never changes.

You don't know the whole story, it's not hard to see there was a conflict between Infinitron and Bubbles but Infinitron is higher in the hierarchy ("Infinitron won't let me") so if Codex staff has to choose between the two they choose Infinitron.

 

[Grunker]

so if Codex staff has to choose between the two they choose Infinitron.

I don't think you'll be able to find a single staff member who'd like to see Bubbles go, while you can certainly find one or two who thinks this place would be better off without the 'tron. So yeah, you're pretty much an idiot, aren't you?

Prime Junta and his apparent intractability on the issue (I'm speculating here)

Gotta set the record straight here (again): I did not know of any controversy about that statement before Bubbles leaked the review. Had he mentioned it to me, I would have been happy to rephrase it or drop it altogether; I was ambivalent about including it in the first place and do not consider it in any way central to the review.

Edit: also, again: I was asked to review it, not the other way around, and Bubbles was on the PM thread about it. I went over it, and if Crooked Bee, Bubbles and Infinitron think it would help clear the air, I have no objections to publishing the whole thing. It was altogether dull and drama-free as such threads go.

If that's true then why did you attempt to commit suicide ragequit Codex?

It not being central to the review is precisely why I didn't think it was worth going to the trouble of asking you to change it. I was just going to slightly alter it (to "pre-medieval-themed") and post the review. A mistake, maybe, but I wasn't expecting Bubbles to explode over it. Nobody was. It wasn't his review!

People take internet posting too seriously

 

[Drax]

That's what happens when people think the things they write here matter.
If you don't like something in a review, you write your own, and if you don't have privileges to post in front page, YOU POST IT IN WHEREVER, you don't go trying to change other people's shit.
Again, typical eurofag.

Bubbles to become moderator on Obshitian forum

[DramaticPopcorn]

This drama is so juicy, I almost removed PJ off my ignore list

 

[Spectacle]

 

[Prime Junta]

The leak triggered my PTSD from the Pillars drama.

Are you saying it's infi's fault?

I think the drama could have been avoided if any of the parties involved -- Bubbles, 'tron, Bee, or anyone else who was privy to it -- had told me about the controversy around that line.

 

[Jasede]

Wait, who's going to accompany me to Gamescom from now on?

I don't wanna write all those long-ass articles alone

*Waggles eyebrows*

 

[King Crispy]

You fled with tears in your eyes but you won't really specify why. Now you're still here with your innocent lamb act while everyone else is wondering why Bubbles left.

It might go a long way towards ending this conflict if you'd -- oh, I don't know -- maybe admit you had a little something to do with the stupidity all around?

 

[SausageInYourFace]

Bubbles is a fine poster and contributor. This is a needless ragequit over nothing though, so: meh.

As far as I am concerned:
