Friendly reminder that everyone responsible for this will hang until dead at the hands of the state once control is restored.

That's reason enough to dismiss your opinions, really. Did you get that 'clever' nickname from your preferred news network of choice?

I think you took a wrong turn somewhere, though. Here's directions to a more suitable venue for you:

Random twitter user accuses Chris Avellone of racism for opposing Obsidian's racist hiring practices.

There’s no way that joshua e sawyer would discriminate on the basis of race or gender

No I read it on Twitter. Where do you get your news? Dismiss away. I don't need your validation. I didn't before I was aware of your existence or after.

And I got banned on Era in under 10 posts post-migration. RIP.

Nothing in this timeline surprises me anymore.

I want to see Elon Musk try to buy Obsidian, get slapped, then a training montage with Mr. Trumpagi after which he buys Microsoft.

That idiot Hansen made several typos in his tweets, he didn't even read or think twice before posting, what a clown. Also, I bet he ain't never been in the woods

I first made this image for the 'Sad Wokeness of Josh Sawyer' thread. This was from twitter, not bluesky, from several years ago. Considering it says '4h' on the tweet I could pinpoint the exact day he said this if I want to look for my old post in there. Apparently he's nuked his twitter so it would be amusing to me that preservation of his old tweet got his ass in much deserved trouble. Sawyer retweeting it was depressing (and why I thought it noteworthy of screenshotting).

How much would it cost Elon to set up his own RPG studio in a cheap country like Serbia? He could be self-financing tranny hunter simulators for decades.

Looks like the strategy of digging up old tweets is biting them in the ass this time.

Anyway, it's archived so nuking won't help.

Great, now we're going to have to deal with Elon Musty, Trump and his jew slave brokers commenting on games for the next four years.

See what you've done America?

 

[Roguey]

Are you just being deliberately obtuse? Having an "other" option for gender is not "having pronouns in chargen." The former is allowing a fringe group an option to represent themselves in some way, the latter is attempting to drag everyone else into your bullshit. I'm not "he/him," I'm male. It's also just infuriating grammatically to have "he/him" on a fucking character sheet where that part of speech is not and was never meant to go.

I don't see much of a difference between the obnoxious ways of showing your character is male/female/attention whore and letting you choose those same options in character creation.

I remembered where I saw this guy earlier. He ran his mouth about the 30 fps and how you don't need 60 in first-person.

Anybody know how I can retrodate an email sent to careers@obsidian.com?

Uh, sent today.

Hand-write an application at an earlier date and then send them a mail asking what happened to the application you sent ages ago- scanned copy enclosed.

No point in playing this even for fans of PoE.

I'm not 100% sure what is going on but I'm all for the chaos. Asmongold has a video about it now.

This director sounds like a pansy, hope my man Joshua e sawyer told him/her what’s what

So because the game has a different director there aren't any connections to the previous games? Wut.

Not a huge fan of Asmon but what he said is true. This guy is now causing trouble for literally _everyone_ else at the studio. He needs to be fired, if only for that, but also because, well, he's racist.

What kind of logic is that, what a retard

Art director should be much more concerned about the technical side of the visuals

 

[cioran]

He needs to be fired, if only for that

 

[Larianshill]

Chris is going scorched earth

Avellone, I take back almost everything I've said about the way you wrote Ulysses, he's now a great character.

 

[Mauman]

Edit: Case in point is Morgoth running defense like a little bitch.

like?

 

[Clockwork Knight]

I find Musk irritating but you'd really think that the art director would have the sense not to pick a fight with an extremely powerful and equally petty billionaire just a few months before the game releases. If you absolutely must take a shot back then wait until your game has released so you don't mire it in drama before anyone has even had a chance to play it and judge it on its merits.

Whenever that happens I imagine the other employees looking at the chaos that leadership created just like this
