Obsidian General Discussion Thread

I hate Kate Dollarhyde.

Careful, Sailor Woedica will hear her name and rush to Obsidian's defense, and she's too busy writing Sawyer-approved placeholder dlg.

I can't decide what inspires more contempt:

1. Kate's placeholder dlg
2. Sawyer actual dlg
3. Sawyer using 'lol'
4. Sawyer using 'lol' while simultaneously saying he's doing it quietly

I wonder if he's on the outs at the company.

[Ol' Willy]

Note how much Herr Sawyer talks about conversations in RPGs. Hey, what about some gameplay mechanics?

Probably still trying to bury his hot take on the Miranda ass 'controversy' by tweeting abstract thoughts about work without actually doing any work, as per usual.

Gameplay mechanics in a Disco Elysium clone?

 

[Gahbreeil]

Arcanum anyone?

 

[Latelistener]

Damn what the hell happened to Sawyer. Or was he always like that?

Remember that cool tattooed guy?

 

[rusty_shackleford]

He is working on a game again?

Feargus set him up in a fake studio to live out his delusions of making video games. Ever since the accident, Feargus can't help but feel responsible for Sawyer's current mental state.

It's really sad seeing him like this. He's convinced the AIs are actually his coworkers.
The doctors don't think he'll ever recover.

I wonder if Sawyer has realized that the computer Feargus gave him to make big boy games on is made of carboard

Fake Studio Games: Where Game Vets Go To... Uh... Go.

So, at this point I think its pretty safe to assume that Josh is not working on a fantasy or a historical game.

Twitter and other extensions blocked by VPN. Once again it proves VPN is healthy because it allows for me to keep years on my life that would normally be lost to rage and disgust.

Remember that cool tattooed guy?

Malnourished and sunken cheeks from veganism and overcompensating with weapon choice?

Really, he already was at rock bottom.

Worse. An historical game with dialogue that doesn’t match the setting at all.

It sounds to me like the player is just doing some good-old detective work. And since there is no luminol test involved I'd say it's very much historical.

Could be, but definitely the historical vibe is not there. Maybe a Disco Elysium wannabe.

fucking stubs how do they work

It’s amazing how many of you sad losers let Josh live in your minds rent-free. Maybe we should put a trigger warning on any thread he pops up in.

Daddy Sawyer is never going to walk on you and tell you you're a good slave.

Hmmm blood on this shit

Mods/Infinitron, if we ever get more reaction icons, please do a "hmmm blood on this shit"
