CYOA

Oh boy, wait till Goral sees this.

you forgot to mention him

Goral

Don't know why you're tagging me, in my whole time being here I've only responded to this once, and only when I was asked to do so: https://rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/age-of-decadence-reviews.103996/page-39#post-5163065
You can call the game CYOA for all I care, it's still much better game than PoE or 99% of other RPGs made by mainstream studios. My fanboyism is highly overestimated here, the main reason I got the tag was because Crooked Bee got butthurt after I laughed at JRPGs (at the time I got the tag I barely posted on IT forums). Somehow you Prime Junta didn't get the tag even after your PoE fanboying, same goes for Underrail fanboys (some of them have over 50% of all posts in UR forum). The way your minds work (i.e. being easily manipulated, being conformists and mindlessly following the crowd) reminds me why we can't have nice things and why jews win most of the time.

 

[2house2fly]

That's what I'd call Underrail fans. Conformists, who follow the crowd.

 

[Russia is over. The end.]

I can only imagine what you could have done with a proper lead.

MGS5:TPP.

You gotta admire guy's dedication. We make it clear that it's a bait and he still takes it anyway.

The Cause accepts no compromise.

 

[The Bishop]

If Feargus doesn't let him make that game, he should quit and form his own company.

Yeah! And while he's still at Obsidian he can get Leon and Tim to share their success story about running a video game development business. It will be great!

sawyer's arm tattoos make him look like he's eternally 21

 

[Chris Avellone]

Nothing of value was lost.

He must have heard you, and out of spite (j/k), he reversed his decision to leave and most likely become Obs' full-time composer, which had already been offered to him (although he was interviewing for 3 months, it turns out the family didn't want to move 1 hour North when the matter finally came to a head and the offer was on the table).

He had told me it was a done deal, but he's right, family comes first.

That said, this is the 2nd time Justin's flip-flopped about resigning from Obsidian, so I sincerely hope he decides to stay there now - he's made his bed, so I hope he makes the most of it. Granted, there's a chance he may reverse it again in a week or two, but at this point, let the chips fall where they may.

I'm not sure why Josh is not among his faithful fans on Codex and instead giving interviews to these gay sites which won't even allow copying through normal means. If he's to make a historical RPG similar to Darklands, at least a half of codexers will stand in line to kiss his gray head.

But then, my knee basically just gave out one day in training and I went to the doctor and they said I didn't have any cartilage left in my right knee. And I said, “well, can I get it back?” [laughing]. And they said, “No, it's never coming back."

The dude is hardcore. He's not only has gray hairs, he's in a need of a walking stick. Unless of course, he replaced his knee. I heard cycling is a way to go with these kinds of problems as you have less pressure on the knee joints.

I used to like RTSs but I actually just liked the Age of Empires series, I don’t think I really liked RTSs in general [laughing]. But I got the remastered AoE HD. I played that, I love that.

They haven't made a deal with MS and he's already shilling.

Full time composer instead of Audio Director? Or will he actually be both?

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

In this case I just wanna say that nothing of value was lost when Geri Halliwell left the Spicegirls.

We all know the black one was the real star.

 

[Nano]

Lies. Ginger was the hottest in the group. Spice Girls became irrelevant because she left the group.

 

[fantadomat]

If it is a talk about music in PoE,Lacrymas should be involved. Who else could tell us what instrument is off in which second!

 

[Lacrymas]

Yes, Obsidian, fire Justin and hire me.

 

[nobre]

There's something I really like about playing Teutonic Knights; having all my Teutonic Knights in their blue capes walking across the battlefield, very slowly with a bunch of priests behind them.

As I said, Sawyer doesn't even try to hide his convictions or intentions, he is out in the open with them and at this point is trying to pull people to his side. Which is not surprising after he dropped the symbolism and metaphors in his previous games to set the stage for next phase. If and when he gets to create his historical game set in Holy Roman Empire, possibly as a religious knight slaughtering pagans, Slavs and other alleged undesirable according to his Atlanto-Hyperborean worldview he will reach his last phase. Which is outright radicalisation for Aryan Germanic supremacy, and today more than ever the gamers are already willing to accept this ideology. He is fully aware that the circumstances are ripe to revive and spread his austrofascism.

WTF I love Sawyer now.

His games are still shit though.

 

[AwesomeButton]

Yes, Obsidian, fire Justin and hire me.

That's like getting hired for captain on the Titanic.

Meh,he will get money,it will see part of america and then go home unlike the captain of Titanic.

 

[ColonelTeacup]

What can change the nature of a man.

Significant amounts of radiation.

 

[Lacrymas]

Will definitely work from a distance for them. I'm not desperate enough to actually step foot in Kwanzania.

 

[Prime Junta]

I'm pretty sure Captain Smith thought it an extremely prestigious appointment.

I've heard of store chains where to get hired you need to set up your own company and then they "contract" your services through that company. You're just a store clerk, but in legal terms you're an entrepreneur, so you have no labor rights whatsoever.

There is a lot of companies who do that in Poland

I would be thankful. As an 'employee' with 'rights' and 'duties' I'd have contributed nothing to society. As a polish entrepeneur, I would have created at least one more job in East Poland.

However those we speak of are fake entrepreneurs.
