Scroll down through replies until Anna Webster (ex-Hardsuit) decides to lecture her former company.

Additional: Oh, one of the fired ex-producers also weighed in. Real family, this.

I suspect that we are simply seeing what played out every day in HSL's daily standups.

Its like a bunch of fundamentalists who make up their holy scripture as they go along. Gotta keep up with the fad dogma of what you are supposed to chant or you get canceled on a cross by the career special victims acting as clergy!

Even something meant to be supporting is declared "Hate" and "Violence" by the nutters because you used the wrong terminology for their mythology.

Trying to keep the game "up to date" during the development phase is one way to ensure that it will never be finished.

the common headcanon that the taxi driver is Cain and that he influenced your character's development

I know nothing about World of Darkness outside of this game so I'm not gonna claim to know who the taxi driver is, but the conversation is so bizarre that he's clearly not meant to be human.

As I say, Malkavians know it all

"Take a Malkavian's skull and fashion it into a goblet for drinking blood. The essences remaining of the Lunatic's mind will infuse the vitae, granting visions..."

Malkavians are used to see visions all the time, you see them a couple of times and your mind will go apeshit

Nailed it.

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/womxn

a woman (used, especially in intersectional feminism, as an alternative spelling to avoid the suggestion of sexism perceived in the sequences m-a-n and m-e-n, and to be inclusive of trans and nonbinary women)

If these useful idiots couldn't keep track of their own inventions becoming deemed problematic then what hope did they have making RPGs with choice and consequences? They'd be transitioning the outcomes all the time depending upon [current year]; 2021 rolled around and all their work became obsolete and problematic, hateful and violent.

Guess Rachel Leiker got the boot, too:



There's also some oddball named "Kalengar" (?) who claims he was also a writer at the studio, but never saw any affiliation with Hardsuit before:

If I'm not mistaken "Cain" or whatever he is arrived to L.A. in the sarcofagus because Jack and him needed all L.A. kindred to be freaked out by his presence, so that they'd all associate their dread with the sarcofagus. That would make all powerhungry kindred fight over its contents, which were suspected to be an antedeluvian.

Even this kind of lunacy might become the norm if they outnumber the sane and scare everyone else into compliance. Even though members of minorities with their sob stories can easily weaponize sympathy in their favor, have they ever done anything to deserve special courtecies? It's important to remember that question when faced with humans using "handicaps" as shields.

He's just directly quoting the article, he's done that multiple times.

That lunacy is the epitome of the baizuo/wumao double-standard; "womxn" is just their most recent revelation that their own creations are now deemed hateful and violent because someone figured out a way to sow victim currency from it.

On that note, I wonder if "Latinx" is still being culturally colonized as being the proper use, or is now deemed offensive. I guess it depends on which denomination of the cult you ask, and more importantly how much social currency they can earn for their white liberal savior complexes Malcolm X and Fredrick Douglas both warned about. Thankfully, most of the 7.8+ billion other people on the planet aren't really that interested in their Twatter religion. It would have been too much to hope that it died with Tumblr.

Zombra why did you fake news me? He's quoting this tweet from the article.

Go beyond the, like, literal, man. I didn't fake news you. You correctly fake newsed the other guy and I was supporting you.

Is it that hard not being a horny creep in the workplace?

A game developers....not being a creep....

Don't stare at women, don't say anyone has nice ass. No flirting,

Game developers are like slaves to me. I don't care how well they're treated or what happens to them, I just want good games. If a "creative lead" makes a good game, I wouldn't really care if he was whipping the coders to do it.

It's impossible to be single and not flirt when you are around attractive women. I don't care what you are doing for a job. It's impossible. It's in a guys nature to flirt with attractive women.

 

[CappenVarra]

Malkavians in Bloodlines are way more than "lolrandom". Malkavians have, probably, the best insight in the situation among all clans

Obfuscate with bonus whispers is so damn addictive, i cant bring myself to play anything else

such pleasant memories it shakes loose, awwww

With Mitsoda, you can remove the "be single" modifier as well.
