Incline Josh Sawyer appreciation station

I heard white town - your woman when I was 10 or something on the radio and even back then I knew that no matter how you interpreted the lyrics, it really does sound like a song someone listens to when they're secretly less than a man.

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

As I was saying. The Outer Worlds, for instance, does this.

I in fact already praised it for the kind of things you're mentioning, and it seemed many codexers agreed

Yeah, TOW had many cute improvements to problems that would routinely plague older games. Companions don't do the usual companion shit like poping you out of stealh or blocking the door. Party banter doesn't abruptly end. Inhaler was a cool solution to potion hoarding...and we could go on, but none of it matters when the game itself is boring as fuck.

WTF is wrong with this man?

Hormonal imbalance leading to an increased level of estrogen.

I wish he didn't broadcast every little retarded thing about his life like a teenage girl.

Every single Soyer Tweet feels like an attempt to solicit this reaction from his followers:

I knew you were salty about sawyer not delivering. But damn, thats a good burn.

Current year will do that to you, I can confirm with my own hair.

 

[jackofshadows]

She looks fine, jeez. Hardly fine enough for that level of insanity though. Also I drinked negroni just a few days ago, decent stuff. Seems that Sawyer's twitter obsession is finally paying off, wishing him a good fuck for once.

You're just jelous she's Joshs' pen-pal, and you're not

 

[jac8awol]

lol, you guys think he's finally starting to form a healthy heterosexual relationship? All that talk of negronis was simply an allusion to the matching lower back tattoos they got that say 'ngrs only'

Xir needs to study why a thing seems the way it does instead of trying to invalidate empirical evidence with some half baked theory unrelated to reality. It seems like the popular thing lately, condescending to people about why an observed thing shouldn't be understood as how it was clearly experienced.

I'm reading some old Codex articles, and stumbled on this interview with Josh from 2002. It seems he always had a problem with self-loathing, constantly unhappy with what he does, but unable to improve on what he considers "failure." Remember that PoE GDC talk? It had similar apologetic tone.

When I first started working at Interplay, my goal was always to move over to development, climb up the ranks, and work on Fallout 3. Though I had played RPGs and CRPGs all my life, Fallout was the first RPG since the original Pool of Radiance to really kick me in the ass and excite me (Darklands was more of a slow burn). Well, as fate had it, I wound up working on the original Icewind Dale. I wasn't particularly thrilled with how my work on it came out but hey -- one step closer to Fallout 3, man. I then did some work on Heart of Winter, and that managed to actually be worse than my Icewind Dale stuff. Icewind Dale II came out better than I expected, but still, not exactly awe-inspiring. Along the way, I designed the magic sub-system for Torn, gave worthless spell/feat implementation feedback on Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, and helped come up with some of the background story for Lionheart. All of this gave me a lot of time to think about the work I'm doing on our unannounced "Jefferson" project (which is not a Fallout title).

It is normal for creative types to loathe their own creations. We are made in the image of God in that way.

Enjoy.

Various disappointments with his map and encounter design. Outside of Kresselack's tomb I thought he did a better job than everyone else though.

Is that actually a woman? I thought it was a guy.
