Incline Chris Avellone Appreciation Station

[puur prutswerk]

most artists create their best work in their old age. Youth and energy does nothing towards mastering one's craft.

From my observations, most writers and directors do their best work closer to the beginning of their career than at the end, and it's only rarely the opposite.

Does this also happens to people who started their careers late? I hope this is caused by the fact that most people just have only a few original ideas, not because the body decays.

The problem isn't age itself, it is age in a shitty world.

Creativity is done in conjunction with God or with other higher beings, if you are not on good terms with your own higer beings or God, then no creativity for you.

Congratulations, this is one of the dumbest things I've ever read, impressive

Too bad nobody told Lou Reed that all he needed to do was pick up a fucking Bible and suddenly he'd be topping the charts again

 

[NPC451]

[Joke]Avellone needs to submit to Allah for creative inspiration.
[Serious] Alcohol is haram for a reason,Teetotalism might have kept him from acting like a degenerate in a crowded train.

"Quick think of a creative person, uhhh....the guy who performed fucking Lulu"

Actually it came to mind because of the scene from Trainspotting

that said, I accept the rebuke

 

[FranticDistortion]

Most known literature figures' works improved as they aged. The difference is that in videogame industry person can only pull off 1-3 games before 80 hour crunchy workweek burns all the passion out.

Game devs don't know better and all in on a single project, leaving their health and love for the craft shattered after. Short-sighted approach.

It is because you never read what you write.

 

[Verylittlefishes]

Opus magnum principle: more often than not the creator has enough ideas for ONE creation into which he put everything. And we had Torment 20 years ago.

Well, you are the expert dumb fuck around here so I guess you would know

I personally like The Untouchables IN SPITE OF the Academy Award.

True art is after all a manifestation of divine inspiration, or the logos.
If you know anything about Christian theology you'll know that when it was written that God made man in His own image, it wasn't a reference to physical appearence, but the logos.
In our counciousness exists a spark of the divine, though we ourselves are obviously just a bunch of sinful, mortal shitbags.
The artists simply harnesses the logos to create great works of art. And there exists an objective measure of what art and beauty is, anyone who tells you different is a marxist relativist and probably a Jew.
Basically, what I'm getting at with this is this: REPENT YOU DEGENERATE FUCKING FAGGOTS AND ACCEPT THE WORD OF GOD BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

So...
When he will be returning to us? Bets are open!

True art is made under the influence of large dosages of drugs.

You can't really write under the influence.
Or code.

Drug Influence As A Creativity Fuel is a myth invented by the conform crowd which is afraid of The True Artists and their amazing alien brains.

I'm betting he'll return to the earth before that.

Ladies & Gents, as much as it pains me to say, but Larian is the only big RPG studio left worth giving a shit about.

I think that either studiou should be PERFECT or could go home.
Of course we all missing for BIG LARGE SCALE PRGs cause we all can see a natural limitations inherent to indie studios, like in Age of Decadence and Underrail.
The only question is is Larians PERFECT or just somewhat near.

I get the impression the industry doesn't want that though. They don't want someone setting the bar two decades ago, and for nobody to even come close ever since. I expect the publishers don't want it, and generic writers in the industry get pissed off about it.

Actually that's the KEY point.
I think that too - too good is no good for moneymakers, cause rreal artists are too few or none, and they need to turn on conveyor to make money and vomit with propaganda.

submit to Alla

False guy? Bad idea.

So there's a game on Steam from 2018 where you can, according to the achievements list, romance Chris Avellone. Why did no one tell me about this?

Update:

Patch, 6/22/2020

DELETED: Both achievements revolving around Chris Avellone's character.

 

[Roguey]

I suppose this thread is more appropriate than the other one, but Chris has silently updated his linkedin

Turns out he stopped working on Levine's vaporware in 2019

He lists Kingmaker in the list of games he's worked on but he doesn't have Owlcat listed on companies so who knows where that stands at the moment.

 

[dalnioam]

What's wrong with him?

Spoiler

 

[Ol' Willy]

Slow news day, but what, Chrissy worked with Owlcat? I guess he has no choice but to move to Russia now and work there. Considering who he is, he can expect good salary and near royal treatment.

 

[Wunderbar]

i'll give him a year before he kicks the bucket of alcohol poisoning

I'm sure that Senior Avellone is rather experienced in the matter to survive in such environment.

NokNok came directly from his feather and he had a lot of work on the writing team in general. Explains why NokNok is the first goblin whoms brain I havnt knocked out of him on sight. His quest was cool with the ritual duel with the other gobbo.

At least he didn't put an end date to his freelance career
