Some guy on twitter is dropping snippets of an interview with Chris that he never got to release for whatever reason. All the answers are more or less things he's said elsewhere though https://twitter.com/4allout/status/1607139539906330625

To sum it up "I don't put my politics in games, people see politics in them anyway, I was tricked into doing the Dying Light 2 E3 presentation but at least I got to meet Todd again, the Obsidian owners are a bunch of clowns who are going to run the company into the ground any day now." Oh yeah and "I like making games and want to do it for the rest of my life. I don't ever plan to retire or give up the shop and pack it in" which turned out to hit quite a snag.

For some reason this fellow also tagged a bunch of random people for thoughts, with some funny results.

Oy.

Yeah but... it's so industrial looking and sparse. I guess it could be part of his basement or garage or something. Doesn't seem like a good place to do much other than punch in shipping/receiving data or track the number of bodies in your freezer so you don't run out of room.
Yeah that's a man's apartment all right.

I must have the gay gene, because I actually decorate and try to make it cozy.
I dont know if I add in more items, but at least a super big poster behind the screen and one smaller beside the window though~ Exactly what is the question, but will change over the year.

Not framed, just plain picture/poster. It will deteriorate after one year and it's time to try something else.

Sorry Roguey for replying to an old post.

But here's my 2 cents.

The man says he does not put the politics in REAL LIFE into his games. Politicking within the story world and setting is fine.

How enlightened is that? One wishes we could have more of such insight. Firstly, it enables the storyteller to create worlds with their own history and politics divorced from reality, an essential aspect of escapist fantasy.

Fictional settings and worlds will not have the same political and social issues that we have. Injecting 2023 issues from a moderately advanced computer age civilization such as ours to, say, a medieval analogy is the height of Author Tract.

Is the man working again? I'm hoping if he succeeds with his legal actions against the whores he goes after the media companies that helped blackened his reputation...

Nope. If it wasn't for his lawsuits continuing I wouldn't even be certain he was alive, he dropped off of social media entirely back in October.

That weird moment where you suddenly discover your idol has a normie side that gives a shit about twitter.

Or maybe he just felt lonely and wanted some easy likes? Chris, whenever you feel lonely, we've got you. Just post here instead. And forget twitter, jesus christ. Didn't you get enough of it for this lifetime?
