I spent today eating cookies and worrying about a job application I sent in last week. I also played 2 hours of Bioshock Infinite.
Today I was 1000000000000000x more productive than that guy.

Holy crap this is hilarious. :lol:

One day, idiot libruls will learn the difference between actual homophobes (most Codexians aren't, in my experience) and people who simply don't wish for their favorite computer games to be used as delivery systems for in-your-face "raising awareness" propaganda. I don't want overt heterosexual romance in Torment, either. Generally speaking, I shouldn't even know what the characters' sexual orientations are, nor care to know.

Folsom Street Fair? No problem. I'd attend, though not as a "participant". Gay men or women kissing? Don't care. Gay marriage? Of course. Equal rights? Absolutely. Prosecution for homophobic hate crimes? Sure. I know it's cliche and a bit of a cop-out to say so, but I have numerous gay friends, and have always simply treated them like people... not to mention my bisexual sister.

Just kidding—libruls won't learn. Anyone who doesn't want exaggerated gay sex rubbed right in their faces to prove how HOLY SHIT TOLERANT we all are must be a homophobe.

Hell after what Bioware did to RPG's most of those same people don't even want straight sex let alone gay sex rubbed in their faces.

Dead State Divinity: Original Sin
All this is doing is tempting me to try to pre-order Dragon Age 3 (or get it shortly after launch) depending on available funds, which til now I'd only done with Skyrim (and that was a gift) & Torment: Numenera.

It also makes me want to get Dragon Age 1 & 2 for PS3 despite already having them for PC.

:hmmm: Konjad stop this.

He says he doesn't want to be pandered to after paragraphs of begging to be pandered to.

What the fuck.

I'm not gonna lie. This is my favorite thing ever.

After months of lurking, I didn't think 'y'all finding my incredibly shitty personal blog' would be the thing to make me actually sign up an account.

I can't think of a better set of people to incoherently tear me a new asshole. <3

Also, hi, Hiver!

By the way, Hiver: yes, the fact that you're beta-testing did get me to raise my backer level. :P

If that's how it's gonna work, hopefully the fact that I will also be beta-testing will get some more of you motherfuckers to raise your tiers as well. Otherwise I might fag the entire game up with my gay mind control.

You mean sane? I agree with this unless affairs of the flesh are tied to the story or setting (like in ADwR or TWicher) I don't want to see either of this shit in Torment straight or not.

Battle not with monsters, gaze not into the abyss, etc, etc.

Now if only I could tell which party that should be aimed at in this situation. I guess the advice arrived too late for the Codex to heed it, at any rate.

We don't need people calling themselves 'gay' or 'bisexual' or even 'straight'. This isn't about identity politics either.

It's just that presumably you'll have characters in relationships or expressing desire for relationships....

FOR EXAMPLE... Maybe that male shaman has a male partner living with him instead of a female partner. Maybe that female prostitute takes only female customers - or, hell, maybe that male prostitute takes both male AND female customers. Maybe an Annah-equivalent will only kiss you if you're a woman (the option not even appearing for a male character).

I thought the idea of prostituting yourself was that you don't want to starve.

Yeah, never take anyone seriously who moderates their comments. Especially for "trolls".

Some people just fucking love basing their entire identity around one fucking thing. How can he begin to identify with a character if that character isn't gay!

This sort of inclusion for inclusion's sake is retarded whichever way you hold it. What this guy needs is a reality check. Preferably in a third world country where he'll be too busy getting by to worry about "social justice" in video games.


Purge the dumbfuck before it breeds.


I don't think we have to worry about this one breeding. :codexisfor::lol:

While I don't give a fuck about blogs I was curious enough to give a look. And yeah, it's lame. One thing I did like was the quote of Gaider saying it is like it is though. Go Gaider.

Like I said earlier, I look forward to seeing what the Numenara team comes up with. Should be very different and cool, and I imagine the developers don't need the kind of "guidance" that poll is offering to make it amazing.

Amen. Devs pandering to retards on their forum is almost as bad as them pandering to the suits in marketing. I backed the kickstarter because I have faith in the abilities of those devs to make great rpg's. I have almost zero faith in a bunch of forum posters to do so however. Design by committee is shit, let the devs do their thing.

And people trying to push their retarded political/ideological/religious bullshit agenda in a game can also fuck off.

Roguey I think you and the deadlymoose will be great friends. I'll also donate $1 in your name thedeadlymoose at some point so you can access our general discussion section where i'm sure your input will be welcome.

All this said it wasn't all Bioware's fault, they fell into slippery slope by pandering to vocal fans (once a minority, pehaps not now though) in the hope of increased sales and greater customer loyalty, to a degree they just gave those people what they wanted (the furries, the bronies, other assorted oddballs, the LGBTs that cross over into those areas, the forever alone types and the pimple faced 13 year olds that want softcore interactive porn along with "i've come to clean your pool" levels of characterisation). Remain vigilant comrade :salute:
