World of Darkness Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 from Hardsuit Labs

[Heroic Liberator]

they were scared of avellone powergrabing them, taking them to the hotel room and then leaving after getting turned down

Female animuh avy checks out.

To be fair, they were always the target audience.

 

[sys0nar]

Anyone wanna place a prize-less bet for how many days after release it will take for a nudity mod to be released?

 

[Silverfish]

Sure. I'll say day one, since it's the only appeal they have left.

Edit: almost had the wrong thread.

Bonus question: How have these degenerate, anxiety ridden, incapable for life, literally retarded pronoun clowns grabbed entire Western political, scientific, financial and art elite by the balls? Me from only 5 years ago if time traveled to present would be: WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING TO WORLD????

Being Eastern barbarians, our simple brains are just incapable of comprehending all the glory of praising the degeneracy the most progressive liberal values of today's world, including, but not limited to, faggotry, self-mutilation, racemixing, decline of values, misandry and self-destructing behavior.

FYI: she lost her job at ArenaNet because of a restructuring that laid of 100+ people...

Companies keep people they want to keep. B and C-listers are usually on the chopping block.

...so she's not the woman who got the boot for going on about white supremacy.

White Supremacy Woman: Is this her? https://twitter.com/Gaohmee

The two are friends, it turns out. I wasn't aware Scheurle got the boot for white supremacy, I thought she got fired because she was unstable and not doing any work because she was away protesting all the time.

What a surprise that her recent tweets are all about going through interviews until she finds an employer desperate enough to pay her to put up with her shit.

Note how she still hasn't updated her twitter bio, it says she's still with ArenaNet.

Big shoes to fill, she seems to have small feet

She never had the makings of a varsity writer. It's all about small feet.

You guys realise that "gaoh" sounds like the Cantonese word for "play". That is Cantonese slang for doing bad things to someone, usually via reputational damage or gaslighting, but can be overt like deliberately sabotaging someone's work (i.e., someone is getting "played", to use a similar English slang). "Play me" is a typical cry when the victim finds out that he's been played. Interesting, isn't it, that she chose that for her handle, given what she does.

Bonus Edit: Turns out Samantha Wallbanger is also friends with one of the designers on the project, the delightful cunt Erik Waaaaaananen who has been there less than a year. Perhaps he needed company and nepotism filled that desire nicely, players be damned.

One of the things shit employees do when they get into a management position is to hire all their friends and allies so that they are given some protection from whatever the company tries to do later. See it all the time in the corporate world.

Not sure what the hiring chronology was, but actually, Samantha was fired from ArenaNet while Scheurle was lead designer I think, so that's.... awkward.

Mitsoda's wife works at ArenaNet now, even more awkward.

Scheurle getting fired... not awkward, anyone could have seen that coming except her. It was like what happened when the other ArenaNet fem (Price?) lashed out on Twitter against someone "mansplaining" to her and then got fired for it - anyone could have seen that coming except her.

Maybe Samantha can return the favor and get Sheurle a job with Hardsuit.

One interesting aspect is that once they land woke jobs, they themselves get a wake-up call about what really matters: doing your job, being professional, and being respectful of your audience.

Jessica Price failed to learn that lesson so well that she leaves it off her Linkedin. Peter Fries tried to simp for her and got shitcanned from his 13 years there at ArenaNet to end up as "Lead Narrative Writer" for Wildcard (ARK, so his job is basically as the incarnation of fake tits on a zombie worthless). I'm guessing she's waiting for a nepotism hire offer, but it seems like even her own ilk rightfully consider her to be too much of a company liability for them to work with.

Calling community content creators who participated in talking shop with the community (I guess you're just supposed to have her womansplain it all out?) as "rando asshats" exposed that she had a very limited skillset for someone in her position. The same goes for anyone who wants to be treated special and have everything padded because they have udders, either natural or aftermarket.

MS: Andromeda wasn't a bad game on its own. The issue was that it proceeded a trilogy that is considered one of the best of all time (even if MS 3's ending was unpopular).

 

[Dishonoredbr]

This game isn't sequel to Bloodlines , it's just..

Just cancel this shit and bury bloodlines franchise. A freaking andromeda writter?

Yeah, that mod has their head firmly lodged up their own ass. The one thing (some) people seemed to like about Andromeda was the combat. Which is in no way an argument for hiring one of the writers.

Wow. They locked that thread fast.

There's other threads on there about the personnel changes, recent firings - no surprise, those are locked, too.

Can't keep this contained, Paradox, Hardsuit's new and ex-employees are outflanking you with their tweets! (Or in Mitsoda's case, just talking to the press.)

When feet are too small to fit a real writer shoes, the new lead writer having a big mouth does not make up for it... it makes her being hired even worse for the company.

I hate Twitter but even worse I hate the amount of self-selling some developers do with no real work in their bios (or good work) is very sad

 

[Gordian Nutt]

Imagine Mitsoda's face reading the replacement news and some twats around it.

Was probably laughing and then shaking head sadly

It's only natural to discuss the only things shown to the absence of all else. So when they Streisand Effect this shitshow using lame reasons they only create more backlash. It's like a thermal runaway of incompetence.

Locking this thread as it's devolved into folks slandering the developers themselves which y'know goes far beyond what I warned users about.

It was locked due to certain individuals deciding to slander a new hire based on past circumstances and rumors. Feeona is only trying to keep the discourse civil where no one just slanders a developer, especially when they may not have all the facts. So it was probably fine until it approached that territory.

As we all know, only other developers / metoo clout monkeys can slander developers!

Can't edit original post, but Infinitron corrected me, I should have said "Mitsoda's ex-wife." Guess Bloodlines development ruined more than just the game itself.

Last I heard of Brian and Annie being "together" on anything was the release of Panic! at Multiverse High (2016). Was there any evidence of their continued relationship after that? I'm sure Roguey can correct me on this but it feels like that was about the time they split up.
