Josh Sawyer Q&A Thread

Is it that thing :

 

[Gordian Nutt]

That is the one where he blames management yes

[Major_Blackhart]

Timestamp?

 

[Gordian Nutt]

I will try and endure watching it again and find a timestamp but may take a while

I remember he blamed management for voice acting and pirate mechanics outside of the presentation - but I do not know if he mentions those in addition to the shade in presentation itself

Did Codex also do a thread on this talk? I thought they did

 

[rusty_shackleford]

but... sawyer is part of the management.

 

[RepHope]

but... sawyer is part of the management.

So was Avellone and he told us all about how he would get rolled over by the other owners. Sawyer can’t do shit if Feargus doesn’t want him to.

Avellone got bodied, despite being part-owner, because he's a proven cuck that apologizes at the first sign of conflict. Sawyer threatened to quit multiple times to only get a raise/promoted to the point where he basically took Avellone's job.

So I watched the presentation and I think you must have different interpretations of some part of that talk, because I couldn't see any shade thrown at Obsidian's management in particular.

I seem to recall the voice acting and pirate stuff being shade-blamed on management, but I don't recall that was specifically from any talk or presentation.

Then again, I haven't listened to all of Sawyer-talks to say for sure, Sawyer has a lot of Sawyer-talks.

I thought he also blamed the excess content specs for Pillars 1 on management being over-ambitious with stretch goals (the cities?). [citation needed, tho]

I do recall Deadfire coming out pretty buggy even with the delay, so regardless, something should have been cut or he should have asked for even more time so it didn't come out like New Vegas.

[Farewell into the night]

Just a coincidence. Sorry.

 

[Ibn Sina]

There is too much obsession with this soy kid (sawyer) on the forums. Bros are following him religiously like if he was a political leader or a prophet. He is just a soyboy cuck who smells his own farts. Disgusting low test behaviour is prevelant in this forum.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Is it that thing :

Based Soyer openly showcasing Marxist though on the issue.

That being said, fabulously optimistic of him to think that the solution to the practice of crunch is to set work boundaries on an individual level by talking to one's manager. Porky doesn't care about your personal obligations or needs outside of the workplace and bringing them in the open only serves to expose you as being detrimental to the employer's interests and thus discarded in favor of some other poor soul who is willing to endure even more abuse than you were.

Joshy is against crunch? Surely he is not a стахановец

Couldn't have said it better myself, sir.

He's just virtue signalling and playing off the crunch in his own company. Also, quite hilarious how he defined crunch as it being at least 60 hours of work a week for 8 weeks straight. As if being worked to death for 2-3 weeks before release is just kosher and totally not crunch.

[Major_Blackhart]

Just stop Infinitron

I like your stuff mostly, but Jesus do you have to update us whenever he takes a shit?

It is not only that man, the guy despises this forum and hates everyone in it and wants nothing to do with any of the people here. Yet posters here keep stalking him for his ~opinions~ like a bad case of an ex boyfriend/girlfriend who is stalking their ex fanatically over facebook and instagram. Just pure one sided traumatic bonding.

You can unwatch the thread, or continue to let Sawyer live in your head rent-free.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

No to both

2-3 weeks is such a short time it doesn't matter if you work 16h days.

 

[Ol' Willy]

Depends on the kind of work. I worked two night shifts 14 hours each last week - from 17:00 to 07:00. Half of the time spend shitposting on Codex, the other half playing Underrail - with loading/unloading the CNC in the meanwhile. Time well spent, will work more if needed. The main problem is - I almost run out of cigarettes both times.
