Chris Avellone MeToo'd

[HeyYou]

Sawyer's currently facing heat from SA because he's active on Badgame.

Oh shit, what's Badgame?

 

[Mooger Meng]

Sadly that's enough to get him fired from the studio that was making Dying Light 2.

If this is how he's going to be, then I doubt he could have kept it from being as fucking stupid as the first one to begin with.

 

[Aquinas]

JSawyer? from that one new vegas mod? ffs

he has a Something Awful account, what do you expect?

 

[YourMommasBackstory]

Dude need to drink less, at least on corporatise parties. Well, if he’ll ever have one now.

 

[The Grognard]

Oh shit, what's Badgame?

SomethingAwful offshoot where they allow people to say gamerwords.

So probably like stupidpol, which doesn't exactly make Sawyer a bigot.

 

[Intensening Rapeye]

Jef Gerstman talks about this, pretty interesting but not surprising tbh. He looks guilty, but I'm guessing/hoping more out of passive complicity, rather than a using juiced bitches as his dick-juicer guilt.

Pretty much, though the language is def rougher than what reddit allows.

 

[samuraicrack]

Sawyer's not any better, he spends all day sperging about history and retweeting commies rather than making fucking games.

Josh also donated to Hbomberguy‘s trans charity livestream last year.

I love New Vegas so it kinda sucks that the two main guys responsible for it are both psychotic losers with terrible opinions and personalities.

 

[Slap47]

This is just more proof Fallout 3 is better than Fallout New Vegas.

It's easy to separate the artist from the art.

Just look at JK Rowling, an absolute chad.

Hey her work was about a White Savior rolling into a Minority Culture, Appropriating the parts he thought was cool then killing their version of Malcom-X to preserve the White Majority.

Spoiler

We here at the RPG Codex have known, and even strongly admired, Chris Avellone's work for many years. Perhaps one of the most well known RPG character writers in the gaming industry, Chris has worked on and has been involved with many RPGs that users on this site consider classics. Games such as Icewind Dale, Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter, and Icewind Dale II.

Not to mention Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter - Trials of the Luremaster, along with a handful of other, lesser known titles.

Like many, we have struggled to come to terms with the allegations made against Mr Avellone. It's tough to respond to a story made about someone you love when you are feeling hurt and betrayed. Emotions make it difficult to think clearly. But apparently, the truth is out.

Chris Avellone isn't gay.

We are just as shocked as everybody at learning this. For decades, in fact since this site was founded back in the heady days of 2002, it was our assumption that Chris was a raging homosexual. He wasn't known as Chris "Asselone" for nothing. And we certainly weren't the only ones.

To discover that this isn't the case has left many of us shocked and without words. It is something none of us ever expected:

Lol, why so many people voted on Chris being gay?

Fallout: New Vegas E3 2010 Interview: Chris Avellone

It's in the voice and mannerisms.

He is a flamboyant homosexual. Finding out he isn't gay would disappoint me in a way I haven't been disappointed since finding out dunkey is actually a fat white guy as opposed to a cool black dude.

To discover that Chris "the Love God" Avellone has made awkward passes at women in their 40s and been rejected, hurts us in ways that cannot be logically understood with logic or reason. It's something that has rocked many in this community to their core. And it's something a lot of us will need time to process, to heal. To learn to forgive.

We know the entire internet is in uproar at this at the moment, and we respect anyone who needs time to process this information.

Unironically based. Humour is a great tonic.

 

[The best and greatest]

It's amazing how the hover-hand, the quintessential "beta move", is now preferred protocol.

I always thought it was kinda unsettling how guys would have their open hand on the woman below the waist when taking pictures, it just looks weird like he's trying to cop a feel.

It's comforting to see that a site that you'd think would fall victim to SJW bullshit isn't totally gone yet. Gives me hope for the future.

I saw that screencap yesterday. That old fuck Patrick Weekes is now "they/them"?! His wife and him are the cancer that killed Bioware but I wasn't expecting him to turn into another genderless monster.

 

[Dave.]

I mean if Avellone loves taking it up the ass does it matter if its another queer or the industry?

Wow that is narcissism overdrive on steroids. Just read those fucking bios.

 

[Rich Evans Apologist]

With all of the flawed and talented people getting the guillotine (in Chris's case, eagerly walking up to one and praising its convenience as judge, jury, and executioner all in one), it feels like we might be getting a little closer to the crash that SHOULD have happened to video games around 2013-2014 but was delayed by microtransactions. It may be time for pseudonymous and anonymous developers and storytellers to get ready for some fine, nutritious ash to crawl out of as the useless, talentless parasites suck all the marrow from the bones of the industry for a while.

Which is a good thing!

 

[A_Callow_Youth]

So, one of the most talented men in the industry, a figure of legend, has lain down and died at the hands of booze-addled memory and hearsay. He was a lefty, sure, but he was one of the remarkable ones that could do justice to beliefs that I have no doubt he found abhorrent, and gave his players the freedom to agree with them. I don't know if the allegations against him are true or if he has simply chosen to not fight the inevitable, but I do know that Chris Avellone will never make a video game again.

Now ain't that a kick in the head.

I know, I dreamed for years of a follow up to New Vegas with the updated graphics of 4, but I guess it'll never happen now.

At least there's that fan remake of New Vegas with 4's engine, but it would have been cool to have an all new game.

I'm actually glad the crash didn't happen in 2013-2014 because we got a few more years of worthwhile games with the beefier tech of the 8th gen.

But now I say bring the crash on if it in the long term it will lead to better things.

but I do know that Chris Avellone will never make a video game again.

Now ain't that a kick in the head.

It really sucks.
