Shit like Rudi's Army makes me think that leftards aren't trying to subvert/destroy classic franchises like Star Trek or Star Wars on purpose. They are just fundamentally incapable of writing anything good. The biggest issue is that leftists who created these classics actually cared about people, while modern leftards are only concerned with LARPing as super-heroes.

You just look too low - look above.
Those who assign those incapable pieces of shit perfectly know what result would be in general, so they actually destroying it on purpose.

self-perpetuating and self-sustaining Marxist dictatorship

not marxist - fascist

If rightoids knew how to write in the first place, they would have dominated the industry.
And why would a rightoid of the evil Fourth Reich actually want to work on the gaming industry as a writer in the first place? That is bottom of the barrel shit and a terrible deal, you get no money for the priviledge of ending on obscurity that is the destiny of Avellone and Brian, ironically, we evil people of the Fourth Reich that they despise so much are one of the few groups that actually know about their past work even from when they were even more obscure than they are now. Most lefties on Twitter were too busy destroying Avellone's reputation and pretending his work never existed based on vague allegations with zero proof, so yeah, great "allies" leftoids have.

Actually, Brian and Avellone are cases of success, most English Lits end as bartenders on minimum wage. Nobody will cheer for mister electrical engineer or mister plumber but with social media becoming a toxic cesspool of mental derangement, not even that is a given anymore, so you risk losing years of working experience and end as an unemployable bartender, if you are successful, nobody gives a shit about your work for the most part and you barely retain a job for long, and the few that reach "success", they might end cancelled because your girlfriend from 10 years ago said you were a shitty boyfriend with your work valuing absolutely zero. Dear God, wanting to work on Derangementville is suicidal.

The only reason I care about the writing on the gaming industry, isnt because I want to be a writer in there or because I care about the gaming industry, no, Im not that retarded and I dont wish that on my enemies but because unfortunately I like videogames and I'm the consumer of Derangementville, dunno for how long with the ways things go, thinking hard into finding another hobby.

I still don't see the issue with there being dumb vampires, unless they are old vampires.

In V5, the Masquerade has already been semi-breached globally and many government and para-government agencies are fully aware of the existence of Vampires and are actively hunting them down. Dumb Vampires have a lifespan even shorter than before, i.e. they get dusted off right after the first mistake.

Because Hitler and Mussolini were all about the rights of women, non-whites, trannies, fags, pedophiles, atheists and all the other scum, and apparently bashing the fash in Copenhagen.

Sure.

It's not me that is confusing words, it's you. Gramsci is the one that came up with the idea of cultural hegemony as a necessity for the continued existence of a (Cultural) Marxist world-order.

If a leftist becomes a vampire does it grow a brain?
If a post-op transwoman becomes a vampire does their dick grow back?
Only if xir asks someone versed in Vicissitude very nicely.
IIRC the back cover of one of the earlier Tzimisce books has someone with a vagina on their face. Making neo-vagina fuckholes is considered positively plebian to the Fiends.

Of course we consider it plebian. But if you come to us and the payment you offer is good...

If there is one downside to VtMB, it's that you can't play as a vampire hunter.
And I don't give a fuck if the game's called Vampire or if hunters are also unplayable in pen & paper.
I WANNA DRIVE MOTHERFUCKING STAKES THROUGH MOTHERFUCKING VAMPIRE HEARTS GODDAMN IT!

Wesp5 's mod Prequel lets you play as a vampire hunter, and if that doesnt satisfy you, you can play as a Dante-traced Hunter in Hunter the Vigil.

I ain't a big mod guy, but I'll definitely try that one out when I inevitably install VtMB again.
After I'm done with Underrail and PFKM...

I prefer to play as a Frank or Dee Reynolds-traced Hunter in Hunter: The Vigil. The "main" city of Vigil is Philadelphia, after all.

They didn't get killed, they were murdured! There's a difference, you know...

Is this why modern gaming's writing is so bad compared to oldschool games? It's just a bouncing around of narrative failures that go from one game to the next... and nothing gets improved, no one learns anything, everything just stays stagnant or declines.

It's always hilarious that these narrative leads (who have several thousands of titles mid-senior-level-senior-graphic novel writer, low-senior-senior-upper-managementmanegementaldjsljfsa writer) are always the first people axed. Sad that Mitsoda put his gloves in with that narrative team. The dude actually has talent, but he's getting treated like the rest of those hacks.

This applies to a lot more than video game writing. People prioritizing hiring friends or friends of friends is how so many companies are full of professional failures.

3/4 main writers have pronouns in their bios, this Jordan guy being the sole exception.

Boy, I really wonder what the overall tone and themes of the game were going to be prior to them getting the axe. I guess it's a mystery we will never unravel.

Some mysteries are better left unraveled, lest they unravel your mind.

Anyone who includes Dragon Age 2 on a list of favorite games is a fraud.

Or just violently retarded

How about a causally casual retard? Still smashable at that level of retard, who knows the D may even cure the tard... Unless said female is a Danger Hair or landwhale, no hope there.

BTW, any news on the next dev, did I miss that or is PDX still searching?

You mean, Bloodlines 2 writing will have a quality of lovecraftian forbidden knowledge to it?
Impressive!
