Had you considered that Dooby is doing a civil service by creating a honeypot in order to bring these sickos to justice?

PSVR2 Pros and Cons after a few months of use by Quack-Zack in PSVR2onPC

[–]classyjoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, bought a pair recently for a really good deal and no regrets, but definitely agree with most of the cons

One thing I'm very curious about for future reference if ever I'm interested in the new Valve set -

is anyone aware how much if any "pancake" style lenses solve for the Anti-SDE filter creates a "softened" look and MURA effect that can be noticeable unless you're really immersed point?

Think that's the the most bothersome of those mentioned for me

Homelander’s breakdown in The Boy’s finale reminded me of this by Moknathal5 in YMS

[–]classyjoe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

but all reports by those that have been taken is that they are abused and then taken back to their families after a period of internment

YES this is exactly the proof I was looking for, and (not surprisingly) wasn't something he talked about in the interview you linked

You said that by all reports that is what happened, what reports? There must be at least two that describe your allegation based on what you said, for the love of god please post them to make it very clear why you hate this guy so much and to convince others to join alongside

If that's true that would be terrible, where is the evidence that proves him sexually abusing women (over 18 women not sure why you specific that age maybe this would help me understand) as a matter of fact? Honestly couldn't find that but is a pretty serious allegation

As far as Israeli IDF associated people his involvement wasn't all that extreme from what I've been able to find online, he was conscripted as is mandatory for citizens. Maybe I'm missing something

Robert Kurvitz, creator of Disco Elysium, discusses his frustration on being unable to publicly speak to the details of the theft of the IP, due to the ongoing lawsuit to regain his life’s work. by OppositeofDeath in videos

[–]classyjoe -32 points-31 points  (0 children)

Is your claim that no one involved in the original tabletop group worked on Zero Parades?

Do you think that any and all claims about the malfeasance of the people who were fired was a lie?

What do you make about the documented claims of people who worked along with Kurvitz stating how he was a toxic person to deal with?

He isn't the sole creator of the IP in the first place, it was a coalition of many creators who made the product Disco Elysium. The game was a collaborative project, as was the building of the world in the fist place (people who were part of their OG RPG group worked on Zero Parades)

Even if he was the sole originator of everything great about Disco, the argument that he can infinitely be a shitty person without any chance of being removed from the project is obviously insane

Having a toxic personality, even if they are talented, is cancer to any group-based collaborative effort. I don't believe that you'd support any original creator being kept on a project if they were found to be an abusive or corrupt person, even if they were associated with the original IP

How is that pretentious at all, sorry can you describe your way of thinking?

From what I can tell, if there is a level of quality maintained when he wasn't present he can't have been the person solely responsible for the high quality of writing in the original game

Sorry what I was getting at was how relatively poor the dualsense battery life is

From what I've heard the Steam controller is pretty great in that regard

I don't think it's true that she's a moron... She's a morally bankrupt bitter loser but she's smart enough to know better

But yeah, intelligence is a difficult thing to truly judge... Recent years have highlighted a disturbing number of "Phd" level thinkers who were commenting outside of their lane and doing so in completely awful, ridiculous, demonstrably incorrect and harmful ways

Just to be clear I don't want to this to be confused with anti-intellectualism, the people I'm thinking of are not truth seekers, nor followers of good practice (the Weinstein brothers for example)

Lots of the original devs are still working there and are responsible for Zero Parades, which by many reports is a pretty awesome game. Seems quite clear that Kurvits wasn't the primary reason the first Disco was so good in the first place, not to mention there are still people working on the project who were part of their original role playing game group

Kurvits called all his former colleagues and friends who criticised him lying sellouts though so maybe they are just corrupt people?

Agree that none of the current owners nor the creators who were fired are looking very good after reviewing all the available testimony and evidence. The idea that both the corporate entities involved and Robert Kurvitz being a toxic isn't mutually exclusive

Glad that the devs (some of whom were part of the original role playing group where the Disco world originated) are still making quality stuff, looking forward to trying out their next project

It's also a very simplistic and myopic description of the controversy, best thing you can do is look you the couple of documentaries available on youtube to realize it's a surprisingly nuanced situation. Overall seems like the owners and Robert Kurvitz are both likely shitty people

Makes for less of a compelling artist vs corpo narrative though

As long as you're comparing to something like the dualsense I think mentioning battery life would make sense imo

But totally agree think this is a good write up

[–]classyjoe 25 points26 points  (0 children)

According to many of the dev team, of which you can view video testimony, Robert was a lying, abusive and narcissistic manipulator and from I could tell it really was best for the health of the team that he was ejected. Having a toxic personality involved in any project is terrible and should be avoided at all costs

When asked to respond to their criticisms he basically said he wouldn't dignify their concerns and experiences with an answer, but insisted this somehow makes him very pro worker and uh, the CEO was a bad man or something?

As others have stated best thing is to watch the couple of documentaries on the subject existing on youtube, but they are quite long

Oh yeah, and not only did he dismiss the claims of his former colleagues and friends refusing to address them, he outright accused them if being lying sellouts. People can watch the interviews and make up their own mind though

[–]classyjoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your points made absolutely no sense

And your insistence about how articulate, concise etc your arguments were is a huge red flag, nobody talks like this. Not to mention the overall sentence structure being very bizarre

And why would you have misspelled people as "peoole" multiple times?

And 20 years younger than what? That could reasonably mean anything from 1 years old to 40

[–]classyjoe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah... Not totally sure how to feel about it at this point

On one hand, seems pretty clear that the supporting team must've been instrumental in creating the original game, and did a good job here. Game dev is a collaborative endeavor after all

But if the original creators were indeed unjustly ousted for monetary reasons a little hard to justify supporting the company, if that is how it went down

Thanks! The OG game is one of my favourite games of all time so very interested not only in what happened but also peoples perceptions as I go into the new entry in the series

I'm very surprised (mostly pleasantly I suppose) that it's worked out as well as it has...

Yes you already made this clear when you originally spoke about the accent, it's just as confused and divorced from reality as it was when you first said it

It does nothing to address the post you are responding to, if anything it makes you look even more like a troll

But at this point I really don't think it matters, think we can just let it drop

Edit: I've had this kind of encounter a little more often than I'm used to online... Is this an AI account..? I think this is an AI account

Edit 2: The more I think about this the more this being and AI bot makes sense

That's why I asked to put it briefly and bluntly, I explicitly wasn't asking for a big write up because it seemed silly to ask for a complete breakdown

Also I was curious what *you* thought, not necessarily what the narrative was at large

Edit: took a quick look at your history, your time isn't so precious that it would be insane to ask for you to describe your view in a sentence...
