If I had access to icon list, I would click on whatever icon is "Fuck yes, I agree." Blame the moderators.

1. Bro-fisting: You may see "User XYZ brofists this" underneath posts from time to time. It's our form of "like". Because we're a prestigious and exclusive bunch, you will only be able to brofist posts once you have been a member for 12 months or more.

So, what's the Codex Consensus?

1. Mitsoda was such a massive fuck-up and did such a poor job that Paradox finally told Hardsuit Labs to get rid of him and get to work?
2. Brian wasn't SJW enough?

Make a poll, Infinitron.

I had thought Mitsoda was SJW in interviews, so I'd think it was #1, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's a #3 "Paradox are idiots" as an option.

Also, it's possible Hardsuit sold Mitsoda out as well. They don't seem like a stand-up company.

Guess there's two writers (at least) who survived the purge: Cara Ellison and Anna Webster (?), and looks like Anna's still there along with Cara.

I tried to screenshot the 'amazing' discovery between the Hardsuit developers that gave proof of life, then realized I didn't care (and also didn't have permission to include an image) so here's a link. Never heard of her or checked out Fallout (Cascadia?)

I think that the problem Is that Paradox hired a lot of sjw but after realizing they were producing crap they asked and the most common answer was
"Yeah, I can't write well because brain damage".
But brain and Brian are similar words, Paradox concluded that Mitsoda was the troublemaker.

What someone?

I did notice that she began posting on Twitter for the first time in months last weekend.



Back to Scotland. Yeah, she's gone.

They might as well just cancel this clusterfuck of a project at this point.

My preferred outcome at this point. I'd rather the franchise stayed dead than be revived as this mediocre virtue signalling pile of shit.

Kinda shows the state of modern gaming that my default reaction to any old franchises being revived now is "Oh fuck"

I'm intrigued to see it! Not every day you get to see something this horribly mishandled on every fundamental level. I'm hoping it is every bit as bad I'm expecting it to be, despite first wanting it to be a worthy successor.
My mind is telling me no, but mah body, mah body is tellin me yeeeeeeees :bounce:

Yup. Its a simple time now, whenever someone mentiones Bloodlines, you know what he's talking about. Its "too old" or "didnt age well" ? Ok, fuck off then. Dont play it.

After this will come out, every conversation about this game will have to start with "not that piece of shit that came out in 2021, the other one. The older one, from 2004." The first second this project was announced that it was Paradox involved i thought there cant be a worse company than them. A cheap piece of shit publisher that in recent years want everything on consoles.
