Heyo folks!
Just dropping by after the 1.0 launch rush. Clarify a few things, so and so. First of all, thank you to all of you who left us warm wishes, know that we appreciate it! For the others, go f... just kidding, y'all have the right to criticize whatever you want. Even if we don't see eye to eye on some topics, eh that's life, we don't need to agree on everything. That said, let's go!
I did not ban you, I kicked you after warning you first to stop spamming and going off topic (there is a Tabletop channel for that...). Copy/Pasting wikipedia pages is pretty obnoxious on Discord, and you were so heated that you were constantly arguing with everyone about tiny little things. Like I said in the Kick message, feel free to come back after you cool your head. It's all good my man.
Alright I feel like the pronoun thing is very controversial here. First, that choice was already there in the backer build - the only difference between that build and the release build is that we fixed more bugs. As to why we added it, it had always been in our todo list - it simply didn't get added before because we were working on other things, nothing more. There is no grand scheme as to hide things behind the curtain for a big reveal as if we were some BBEG at the end of a campaign.
Now, as for our stance on the matter, it's fairly simple: We believe trans people have as much right to exist as any other person, so we added that option in. It literally doesn't change anything about the game, the story remains the same, the gameplay remains the same, the NPCs behavior don't change, so yea apologies if some of you get triggered by that - you can just choose to ignore it. The issue has never been a political one here (we're not americans), and it's not like we force you to use the "They" pronoun.
Anyway, if that doesn't align with your vision of the world eh that's cool too - like I said, we don't need to agree on everything. I'm not here to try to convince you, just giving you our side of the coin. I'm sure there are enough games out there for you to enjoy.
Lol good one, that made me laugh x) We don't need to do diversity hires, in the 17 of us here are pretty diverse already! You can find a picture of the team on the website. If anything I'm sure we'd love more programmers :p
Man that's some top tier writing, 10/10 would get roasted again by Generic Giant Spider. But c'mon leave the cats out of it
You know what? You're right, that'd have been better. Not much to add here.

Anyway, now that the game is out I'll drop by a bit more frequently like I did a year ago. And like I said we don't have to agree to chat here, it's cool - that's you folks' turf, not mine.
Cheers folks, Myzzrym out

Discord Mods (Myzrym) really angry about other DnD settings.
Just got ban for posting DS lore, when asked why Dark sun CRPG game is so cool.

Like, motherfucker, the only reason to put that shit in is to appease the journo neonheads. They already got buttblasted by the reviewtards. Why add this degeneracy now?
(just to be clear, this thing wasn't in the backer build)

This Myzzrym goes to all of the trouble of generating goodwill towards the game and the developers and then his boss decides to hire some token black "trans" chick to be their "Diversity and Inclusion Officer" with the pre-order money. What. The. Fuck.

And just like that, Myzzrym was never seen/heard from again on RPG Codex.
Listen Myzzrym, I never liked the cut of your game from way back in the demo. Wasting money on voice acting, going with the shittiest ruleset next to 4E, cinematic kill cams, a UI that makes a cemetery seem full of life, needless genocide of spiders. You were riding on bad faith with me right from the very start. Then you did something I really didn't like: you responded and told me my views on the UI were misguided and I was wrong. First off, my momma told me I'm always right. You calling my momma a liar? Last guy that did that forgot everything he learned from elementary school.
But then I saw your dev updates, I saw the cat pictures. Now you may have fooled some people with this "oh it's cute and whimsical" shit, but I know what it really was. It was an encroaching fog of destruction. You see I've been single since late 2016 and I know what sort of creatures love cat pictures and they all have one thing in common: incurable head trauma. I wanted to think it wasn't true, maybe you're just some nice guy dad that when not game developing or reading RA Salvatore you're constructing railroads for your model train hobby. Maybe after a nice square meal your highschool sweetheart of 20 years cooked up you go to your basement, make the mini locomotives go in circles with a conductor hat on and find artistic inspiration in it all.
Release day comes. I've not touched this game, saving myself like it's prom night, I go on Codex and expect to see discussion. I see a pronoun screen, I see you Myzzrym on the Steam forums defending this shit by saying a transsexual is a valid person too (lie), and worst of all I'm getting all this information from Jenkem. JENKEM. Of all the fucking posters, I am getting this unloading from the guy that plays games where furry raccoons have sex with their furry raccoon mothers. Do you know how humiliating that is from a pointless Internet feud standpoint?
And worst of all, you're gone. You'll never return. You got everyone all excited, then at the stroke of midnight you unleashed the payload. This is exactly what Happy New Year 1999 did to my old IBM family computer. Everyone was enjoying the fireworks and then you came from behind and FUCKED them good.
So listen up Myzzrym you little bitch, you little, uh, uh, cocksucka, if you're half the they you think you are you'll come back here. You'll come here and get your self-esteem set back thirty years and you'll like it. Every day you skip town I swear to God I am going to Chinatown and buying a cat to eat AND I'm requesting to the Chinese lady to let me keep each head she cleaves off. Don't try me, motherfucker.
Man that's some top tier writing, 10/10 would get roasted again by Generic Giant Spider. But c'mon leave the cats out of it
And what's with Myzzrym response to the trans question? Just say "We wanted to be inclusive to trans people." and that's it. It's basic PR. No need to be combative about. I guess now that the company has people's money, it's ok to burn down bridges.
You know what? You're right, that'd have been better. Not much to add here.
