sometimes i worry about how i come across to other people
then i see someone responding like this because someone else doesnt care enough about watching the correct pictures on a screen, and i actually feel pretty good about myself and the amount of self awareness i do manage
I’m going to talk slow and use small words so you can follow along
I’ve left out exactly five movies of Scorsese’s oeuvre…oops…filmography. The unwashed masses, you included, tend to remember only those
which is how fully-grown, emotionally-stunted adults call (and justify) comic books
is being able to smell you through my phone part of a bit or do you actually talk like this
youre not a loser for playing video games, youre a loser for comparing a game showcase getting interrupted to stabbing someone, or implying that being okay with the first says anything about your opinion on the former
they generally dont get to talk in front of congress
using disorders as an insult is ableist
i mean it explicitly was the deal they made with bethesda, they both agreed to a deadline
the lack of focus on actual bug fixes and the overconfidence with how much content they could realistically finish in those 18 months was still absolutely on obsidian
They did not treat us badly at all - even the Metacritic thing was something they added, not threatened us with... and if we'd been better with fixing bugs, we could have hit the score needed to prevent layoffs, but nope - FNV when it was released had a LOT of bugs.
Unfortunately, the other interpretation made for a better story... but even Obsidian's CEO clarified it. That said, FNV needed to be downscoped, and production should have ended and testing begun at least 2 months earlier than it was.
Bethesda’s engine was the easiest to create content for, by far. Source control was easy, iterations were fast, the scripting language was pretty powerful – just easy to work in. Not necessarily easy to change, but if you wanted to do what we did on F:NV, which was make a bunch of new content and new features for the F3 engine, it was great.
this comment was made yesterday, when there actually was only half a dozen hex users commenting
at this point hex users massively outnumber lemm.ee users in this comment section, and while i dont think users are actively brigading lemm.ee the way they were brigading blahaj, its extremely overwhelming regardless and i see why folks want to defederate from them
i dont blame them for responding, but i also dont blame other folks for being entirely exhausted with a dozen of them being ready to respond to any comment, especially because of how widespread of a phenomenon its been and how hostile hex users have been in some of the posts theyve overwhelmed
it couldnt be, we just established that "Western “freedom of speech” doesn’t seem to extend to this kind of stuff in practice"
its a bulky box trying to scrape itself through a hole that someone was already stuck in
id rather countries dont invade other countries because they felt 'bullied into submission' over said countries existing
id also rather tankies stop pretending to have any kind of moral conviction or interest in some greater good or world peace behind their support of protofascist dictatorships invading other countries
they do not in fact lose their immunity if there is a tank nearby
your endless sympathy for sick and injured civilians getting buried in rubble because of the actions of folks they have no control over is noted, you obnoxious scum
