People News The Exoneration of Chris Avellone

[Sinder Velvin]

Cleveland Mark Blakemore, have you considered hiring Chris as a writer on Grimoire 2?

 

[Cleveland Mark Blakemore]

Women truly have no idea of consequences both within and outside of themselves. I'm just a mean old volcel who just went through a messy divorce so ignore my biased opinion. But women are woefully unaware of just how fucked all Womenkind's job prospects will be once the SJW fad has ended (It is literally happening right now all around me to old work colleagues because of Kung Flu). Every single male driven business outside of California is going to say "If I hire any women, even if I specifically go out of my way to hire ugly but talented ones in my industry. I will probably get a false accusation. So I will hire exclusively men from now on and just deal with Vice calling me a sexist as I actually make money for a change."

Personally I'm happy to see an excuse to tell them all to take a long walk off a short pier, as a former dev I have never met a women in the gaming industry with equal or superior talent or interest in the field to a male equivalent employee. But back in my day the women all worked in HR and laughed at how ugly the programmers and designers were behind their back. But never mind me. I'm just a nearly 60 year old bitter old man who wants to watch the self immolation of women in person.

Too much truth in this for a mere two paragraphs. Well said.

Feminism is mainly concerned with the exclusion, subjugation and extermination of females. Nothing else.

I should be so lucky. When we got writer's block, we could have a pose-off in the office trying to score points in mass and definition.

Women = a vocal minority of socialistically inclined, self-hating turbo-burgers with daddy issues, imbued with the intellectual capacity of a 7 year old who's just been indoctrinated to The Party™.

Seems a fair assessment. But yeah, women have always been a bigger risk for employers, for family planning reasons mainly, can't fault you there. But the SJW's still are a very special breed, they love to claim to speak for all womankind, but it's just ego-feeding bullshit. They crucify "their own", women and minorities, who question their doctrines while attempting to invalidate critique with identity politics. Call them out on their ridiculousness, and they deflect it with measuring you on the victim scale - if you're too white or too cis, you will be figuratively gagged.

I hope the video's author does not regret at some point using his real name. There are some crazy people out there.

Wait, Cleve built a second bunker?

Cleve is a destitute divorcee with a 6 hour commute in one direction.

What do you think?

Technically, at present it is a small root cellar on a remote piece of land. The infrastructure of the shelter is sitting out behind a scrapyard with employees using it as an outdoor latrine. No, no shelter per se. Bugout location, yes. A fine one in fact with a mine on the property in case of fallout. but not the luxuriant splendor I am used to in my underground facilities. I would have posted video of it but it is likely the autists on the internet would have figured out where it was in no time. I am still a thousand times better prepared to last through an extended ITZ than the average person would believe.

A video should use the real video name, don't you think?

But I do agree there are crazy people out there putting out videos with the wrong names

I'm happy to demonstrate the complete powerlessness of those people over me by using my real name.

You may have left Sir-Tech long ago, but Sir-Tech has not yet entirely left you.

Sucks that your divorce was messy. Mine wasn't really messy. But it's the best decision I ever made.

Reading the account of their drunken debauchery and the utter meaningless of their lives from day to day made me want to weld the hatch shut from the inside.

Just the fact they made such a casual accusation against a person shows how utterly amoral and completely devoid of any principles they really are.

Gen-X did this. This internet culture is all a product of early 2000s somethingawful, which was gen-x predominantly. Millennials are a product of boomer and gen-x parents and school marms.

Oh, I get it. Instead of millennials, you mean millennial women.

It's like the difference between "cancer" and "terminal cancer."

My personal Codexer of the year.

What's this Morrowind mod you're making? I've been considering possibly playing the game again.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Why wouldn't they just tell him he's at the wrong panel...

Why?
Avellone has more experience working on games than the massive majority of the game industry. He has been a writer, designer, project lead, and partial owner of a gamedev business that ran a successful kickstarter campaign, which seems to be what the panel is about.

TES3MP is absolute nirvana for me. I recently did a big co-op session of Morrowind with a few mods with some friends. Had an absolute ball of a time. I'm thinking of using it to make a total conversion MMO mod. Nothing too fancy. Something on par with persistent worlds from Nwn. A place to roleplay and do events with GM supervision. Actually, it takes heavy inspiration from the Ravenloft persistent world for NwN.

Sure but there were two panels on basically the same topic at the same time, he was supposed to go the other one.

It's not a terribly difficult mistake to make, especially when everyone at the table just pretends "yeah this is the one".

I get that he made the mistake, but it's such a simple thing to rectify.

Sucks to be the other guys, but your panel is now the better one.

Oh, multiplayer. Meh. I was hoping for something to make the game not-shit

Spoiler

Of course the game isn't shit, but it needs some kind of large scale overhaul to address the lesser quality aspects, of which there's a lot.

Very flawed classic.

Oh lol, I mistook your angle -- didn't realize you were saying "why lose out on having the big name join your panel, even by mistake".

This sounds like a veiled threat.

 

[Ash]

Nah. Just solid advice.

 

[Tramboi]

One of the points David is making is that these people think they're more powerful that they are in fact.
If you're not in the game industry, not in academics and not american, they have very little power indeed.
Edit: The sad corollary is that sane people just don't have the network and the echo chamber to fight these people.

Infinitron rename the thread to The Self-Flagellation of Chris Avellone

 

[Commissar Draco]

This sounds like a veiled threat.

But yes if you do live in post-civilized shit hole like Soymalia keeping your head low is solid advice.
