RPG Codex Interview: Chris Avellone on Pillars Cut Content, Game Development Hierarchies and More

[Pirata Alma Negra]

Twenty pages of capitalism working at its best.

Because communists are pure and saints, right?

Spoiler

Greedy people like Feargus are saints compared to communists that end up in power. You should pack a bag and move to Venezuela if you like communism so much, you fucking hypocrite.

Edit: Barnabas, you can't prevent me from posting with these passive agressive "Stop posting" ratings.

I didn't say anything about communism, but as you had to draw a comparison, I'll draw mine. Someone can either support capitalist practices or criticise what a company did legally with an employee. I have my stance, and it isn't the hypocrite one.

Kiva Maginn. Who?

The image was quoted by Roguey in another thread. There is also the controversy involving pronouns.

Asking seriously, why do people do such things to themselves?

Insanity! There was always deformations and mutations in humans. In the past they were purged from society,now they are worshipped.

Asking seriously, why do people do such things to themselves?

It's a mental disorder called gender dysphoria, although I have the suspicion that is becoming a common self misdiagnosis among SJWs. Change of sex can be used as an explanation for anything, really, even depression. Horrendous stuff.

 

[Viata]

What did I say?

 

[Latro]

LOL

I used to have the naïve conception HR was there to help. Some in HR do. But the ones that don't can make you lose faith in human nature vs. corporate evil, greed, nepotism, and denial.

is certainly something to keep in mind about anything coming from a current Obsidian employee.

It's all clear now. He didn't fuck Parker and because of that she convinced her husband cuck to ruin Chris. You should've fucked her Chris, clearly.

Of course he shouldn't have, it's immoral. The problem is that he was put in a position where he becomes a target by virtue of being a target. How the hell does anyone escape this situation?

 

[Jacob]

How did we end up with commies vs capitalists again?

Here's male vs. female estimated celibacy. These trends are.... strange? Seems like they shouldn't be quite so... opposite-world of each other?

Probably just trying to get laid. 10 bucks says she's a lesbian.

EDIT:

The guy who made up the chart messed up the numbers, here are more accurate ones.

Trend is still the same though, male celibacy going up significantly, female celibacy going down.

If I told you I been there would you believe me? Trust me, there is nothing worse than refusing a woman's advance, especially if she is a neurotic one. They can follow you online and do all kinds of embarrassing stuff, even in public.

Glaucon, it's a bit inconsiderate to quote GD posts in the public section.

Additionally, if you must, at least post the corrected version of the chart.

People under-estimate the damage women in power can do, particularly if their husband is a co-owner...

Or, you could have edited the original post.

 

[Brancaleone]

Ok, just managed to catch up with the last 12 pages of the thread, now a tidy three hours of sleep, and if I'm efficient enough I should be able to cram the reading of tonight's production just before breakfast time.

 

[MRY]

Per Tech Raptor, in an update summarize this thread:

In a private message, Avellone told us that there’s “likely to be more substantial stuff from my end today or tomorrow”.

Not sure if that's old news.

 

[Grauken]

Keep up, he shared how he got de-ownered

 

[Sentinel]

can't dethrone the avellone

 

[Grauken]

True, he ascended beyond their reach

 

[slowtard]

Talk about DE-OWNED?

Who Mista Feargus think he is? Abe-R-ham Lincoln? Gonna emancipate 20% of these raggedy-ass cubicles and one broke arcade machine??



That sumbitch Feargus gonna end up back on skid row collecting bottle deposits out the Blizzard dumpster. He gonna wind up turning tricks behind the Subway Sandwich next to inXile. CALL THE PO-LICE!!

 

[MRY]

Keep up, he shared how he got de-ownered

That is included in the Tech Raptor post, so I'm assuming it means more than that.

 

[Sentinel]

 

[2house2fly]

How did we end up with commies vs capitalists again?

Dunno. Anyway, Chris, tell us more about how the workers at Obsidian are mistreated by those who own the means of production.

 

[Blakemoreland Hybrid Boss]

People under-estimate the damage women in power can do, particularly if their husband is a co-owner…

They overestimate their accomplishments and take everything they say at face value. They can conjure all kinds of convoluted accusations and you are toast because you are a man, and men are shit. There is nothing worse than a scorned woman, nothing. They don’t forgive you and will try their best to ruin you, even in the long term.

 

[Glaucon]

How did we end up with commies vs capitalists again?

Dunno. Anyway, Chris, tell us more about how the workers at Obsidian are mistreated by those who organize the means of production.

Herein lies the problem of Marxist rhetoric in a post-industrial world.

 

[Glaucon]

Keep up, he shared how he got de-ownered

That is included in the Tech Raptor post, so I'm assuming it means more than that.

The company involvement silence worried me more, however, as it meant that if anything illegal happened with any of those companies (these could include serious charges like accounting issues, silence on harassment issues with regards to employees, perjury related to company documents and payments), I couldn’t speak about the issue, even if I felt strongly against what was being revealed.

 

[Glaucon]

Things are going to get real spicy.

 

[Jacob]

Then again in that post what I really mean was "fuck off commies" so I'm not innocent from rhetoric either
