Incline Josh Sawyer appreciation station

Sawyer's awesomeness keeps rubbing the Codextards in all the right ways.

 

[luj1]

Sawyer is retard bourgeoisie cuck, who could have by now opened his own studio and made Darklands 2

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.

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.

 

[Roguey]

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.

Yes, as I linked to earlier, he knows better.

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.

...and he was going to fix all of them.

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.

 

[luj1]

ironically poe didnt turn out balanced at all

Soyer failed even in that lol

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

Soyer failed even in that lol

As in everything else.

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!))

 

[Ninjerk]

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.

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

Fortunately, Master Chris Avellone ratings will counteract that effect by restoring Codexers' sanity and faith in humanity.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Punished Chris > Soyer.

That the online simping of Kikel Soyer strokes micropenis of the mutant cockroach masquerading as a human should tell you everything you need to know about how irredeemable this animated excrement elemental is. At least Moggy has the self-awareness to realize that he is a retard.

I was going to post another batch of tweets from the king of soy, including one where he too showed signs of sentience, understanding how punchable his faggot face is, but either he deleted his twitter or he made it private because it doesn't load anymore. A shame, I thought the rewteets he made of literal tranny prostitutes posting about selling asshole access online and making it their political platform was pretty fucking funny. Or when he posted how amusing he thought it was that while his direct family fled post-war Germany to ZOGistan the goyishe relatives were murdered in Yugoslav extermination camps. The last tweets I saw before he fled the field were cringeposting about being thirsty over women in films he watched. This is what zero pussy, riding a bike, a diet of pure soy and being on Twitter all day does to a motherfucker.

If I were to guess he's just preparing for the inevitable transition.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Do you think he blocked it because we made fun of him so much?

 

[Comte_II]

Soyer transition yet?

 

[jackofshadows]

Soyer transition yet?

Reported for

harvesting.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

So the big question is how long until he's canceled.

 

[Häyhä]

Works fine for me.

 

[ADULF HITLOR FAN KLUB]

Forever alone Josh.

 

[Tenebris]

Is Josh still broken? I want a refund.

 

[BlackheartXIII]

Josh is the real life embodiment of Skipper Johnston from Sex And the City.

 

[santino27]

A Sex and the City reference on the codex is definitely a choice!

 

[rusty_shackleford]

that's one way to out yourself as a woman I guess

 

[Alienman]

A Sex and the City reference on the codex is definitely a choice!

Well, it is pure fantasy at least.

I mean, the main character writes one column per month or something, and somehow get paid enough to live in a nice area in New York.

That is so fucking 90s.

Or those chinese cartoons where main characters can afford apartment working part time.
