Sawyer is retard bourgeoisie cuck, who could have by now opened his own studio and made Darklands 2 if he wasn't bourgeoisie poser who prefers sucking Daddy Microsoft tits while fighting for workers rights by bravely retweeting prominent trannies on Twitter. This reality is beyond Clown World

Pretty much this. All of the gaming idols are of the false variety meaning they aren't worth shit in current year. Pentiment looks like weirdo cheap crap that is all over Steam already.

Sawyer got the cough, Sediment could end up being a posthumous release (likely not though).

he would just make an unfun game again

it happened with poe 1, it happened with poe 2, and it will happen every time cause he is a man who tries to please everybody and takes no risks

you need to have purity of vision and balls, Soyer has neither

he is too fragile to lead

I would say the problem with launch-PoE1 was that he did have purity of vision.

Arguing with a made-up person again since dealing with real people who support fascist notions like the second amendment is deeply problematic, they might say things he doesn't have combacks to.

massive majority of gun murders are done with handguns, typically using a small caliber
focusing on "spree shootings" is inherently disingenuous as they make up an extreme minority of all gun homicides
any legislation focused upon such is therefore based entirely on emotions and not statistics

Also, he's being (probably on purpose) disingenuous with his argument. The stopping power of a gun is important for stopping, not killing. All firearms are lethal, but it's important to put someone down fast to stop them from shooting back at you rather than shooting you then bleeding out.

Project Eternity will take the central hero, memorable companions and the epic exploration of Baldur’s Gate, add in the fun, intense combat and dungeon diving of Icewind Dale, and tie it all together with the emotional writing and mature thematic exploration of Planescape: Torment.

Yes, as I linked to earlier, he knows better.
Sawyer in 2012 said:
Many of the people who are most vocal about firearm legislation are the people who understand firearms the least. A subset of these people are even proud of the fact that they don't know anything about firearms. I believe this attitude is extraordinarily foolish. Ignorance leads to bad legislation, regardless of the subject. Most firearm legislation is bad because the public's understanding of the realities of firearms in America is bad. When I say the legislation is bad, I don't mean that it's bad because it tramples rights or isn't constitutional, but because it doesn't even accomplish the things its advocates want it to accomplish.


The 1975 Firearm Controls Regulation Act (a.k.a. the D.C. handgun ban) accomplished virtually nothing because the legislation ignored the practical realities of how firearms are trafficked across state lines and how available they are across the country, legally or illegally. The Federal Assault Weapons Ban (AWB) was similarly ineffective because "assault weapons" as defined by the AWB are used in a fraction of firearm-related crimes.


Many of the people who are most vocal about firearm legislation are transparently disingenuous about their end goals. If your end goal is to reduce firearm-related crime, present your ideas and desires sincerely with that in mind. If your end goal is for all firearms to be banned and all extant civilian-owned firearms to be reclaimed and destroyed by the government, be sincere about that as well. There are many, many cases where people advocate legislation disingenuously. They suggest a modest restriction under the pretense of reform, but their actual desire is to make the United States a nation without civilian firearm ownership.


If you wonder why some firearm owners react to talk of incremental gun control as though their houses are going to be raided and they are going to be arrested for owning a bolt-action varmint rifle, it's because they don't believe in the sincerity of people advocating incremental legislation (and they are often right not to).

The media is just as ignorant as the public. It's also sensationalist. So despite the fact that the AR-15, one of the weapons used in the Aurora killings, fires a 5.56x45mm round realistically described as "mid-powered" (its parent round, .223 Remington, was developed for hunting "varmints" -- rabbits, coyotes, squirrels, etc.), many papers and blogs describe it as "high-powered" or "fearsome".

Writers will also draw similarities between situations that aren't really relevant, but promote radical panic. The Aurora shooter used a Glock. Jared Loughner, the man who shot Gabrielle Giffords, also used a Glock. These facts shouldn't be that surprising considering that the majority of police departments across the country use Glocks and it's one of the most popular brands of semi-automatic civilian handgun around.

Some people may say that these points of contention don't matter. When it comes to legislation, those points are very important, and popular opinion often drives legislation. When gun owners scoff at advocates of fingerprinting when people buy "handgun ammo" or restricting the sale of "assault weapons", it's because those quoted terms are vague or nonsense. Unfortunately, many members of the public become concerned about these specific ideas because they're the things that reporters in the media promote, regardless of relevance.

Proposed actions are often radical and irrationally focused instead of progressive and comprehensive. These discussions happen in cycles, usually launched by a national (or international) tragedy. Specific things happen in the tragedy: Glocks are used, large-capacity magazines are used, a certain type of ammunition is used. Instead of looking at national (and international) trends in firearm ownership and crime, people get hung up on the specifics of the tragedy: ban Glocks, ban large-capacity magazines, ban this type of ammunition. For many reasons, it's important to talk about the specifics, but legislating around the specifics usually doesn't solve larger problems. Most of the time, it doesn't solve any problems, and the divide between firearm owners and gun control advocates grows even larger.

No, no, not fix, balance. And he kinda did: memorable neutral positive companions, epic neutral positive exploration, intense neutral positive combat and dungeon diving, all tied together with emotional neutral positive writing and mature neutral positive thematic exploration.

Wow, pretty much everything said here a lie. No wonder Microsoft wanted them as one of their own.

Perhaps Soyer should reorient himself professionally to being a stand up comedian. Gave such a great joke and he wasn't even aware of it!))

I just love rating people's posts in here with Sawyer. It's probably all in my head, but I feel like I'm slowly eroding what's left of the existing sanity of anyone who comes here.
