Bananas and Nuts

[kerzain]

Even kerzain doesn’t like being compared to Zylon.

No, I don’t mind Zylon.

I don’t like backhanded compliments from dickbags who should keep their mouth shut about me.

Who is allowed to open their mouth about you? Is there a rule for this that is both easy to apply and understand, or is it pretty much based on personal whim?

A compliment is still a compliment, no?

[Anti-Bunny]

Like it or not Tom has stated quite clearly that he’ll be a little extra protective of people who work in the games industry so they keep posting here.

Doesn’t Matthew work in the games industry?

[Bahimiron]

Why is this still being debated? That’s been posted at the top of the games forum since the beginning of time. Like it or not Tom has stated quite clearly that he’ll be a little extra protective of people who work in the games industry so they keep posting here.

So why is Matt gone? He works in the games industry! Tom should have protected him from himself!

[RickH]

That is the tip of the crazy iceberg.

It must be nice to live in a world where, instead of having to admit that reasonable people may disagree on political issues, there are only virtuous good-hearted people and insane retarded bad guys, and the way you figure it out is whether they agree with your lefty views.

[Lorini]

For everyone else, Bahimiron subbed my name into that quote. I guess he thinks he’s semi-intelligent or something and everyone else is stupid.

[Zylon]

A complement is still a complement, no?

A two’s-complement, apparently.

EDIT-- Oh goddammit, I wasted my 6,666th post on that?

[Anti-Bunny]

I’d rather hear from insiders talking openly about other projects, rather then just promoting themselves.

Jesus, dude, take the strawman bullshit back to P&R.

“Brad says crazy shit in P&R” is not the same as “Everyone who disagrees with me is insane and retarded and a bad guy” and you are clearly smart enough to realize that, so what gives?

[Bahimiron]

For everyone else, Bahimiron subbed my name into that quote.

Sorry. It just seemed so much like something you’d say I got all confused! My bad! My bad, people. That’s all me.

Now that’s what B&N was missin’!

Nobody can really follow the UI, and the manual is very vague. Maybe the latest patch will address some of these issues.

[Telefrog]

Disliking the way Brad Wardell lied about the launch problems with Demigod, blaming them all on Gas Powered Games, is not a political issue.

Did I miss when this happened? Did Brad give an interview in which he blamed GPG for the fiasco? I thought that Brad actually took on a lot more blame than he really should’ve for Demigod.

[Robert_Sharp]

What does that mean, Anti-Bunny? Who has been doing that? Brad has been very open with the process of Elemental, which was nice to watch. Whether it turns out great or not (I don’t have it yet, but it’s on the way from Amazon) doesn’t change that.

[RickH]

Jesus, dude, take the strawman bullshit back to P&R.

I’d agree with your claim of a straw man if someone actually could express a non-liberal opinion in P&R without having their sanity, intellectual ability, and/or ethics questioned. The ad hominem responses are exhausting and pointless, and every time I engage in a conversation there, it makes me prefer working to dealing with this forum.

Which is a shame, I don’t like losing things I enjoy.

He did. I read what he posted. Some folks want to create a reality that suits them better.

[Linoleum]

Gallant apparently didn’t realize he was switching groups. In one group, you have industry professionals who know the time and place to bitch about publisher/developer snafus on troubled projects: over drinks at conferences. In the second group, you have Derek Smart.

[Anaxagoras]

He did. I read what he posted. Some folks want to create a reality that suits them better.

For example:

Some people do express non-liberal viewpoints and engage in reasonable debate. This does not happen for you for reasons that are unrelated to the fact that you are not a liberal.

Let me help you out; drive-by posting of easily discredited talking-points followed by flouncing off while declaring victory is not ‘expressing a non-liberal opinion’ in a way that allows people to engage with you on any constructive level.

[RickH]

For example:

Yeah, whatever.
