lmao i'd forgotten "it isn't mentioned anywhere in the game that your character is gay but i clicked on the perk that is literally a euphemism for being gay and now i'm gay, explain that"

My parents did use the "bachelor" euphemism to explain to child-me why my great-uncle was always single at the family get-togethers. I also thought it meant the 'ladies man' definition at the time and didn't twig to it until they finally said "he's not into women" when I was a teenager. In my defense the illness that took my hearing at age 5 did also give me actual verifiable brain damage, though, what's Bloody Hedgehog's excuse

It's kind of hard to blame you when the stakes of Dumb Goon Ideas are dead animals. I assume that's why PI drama ends up so heated when it does happen; "hey, I'm going to do a thing to endanger pets" is going to get people insanely angry, and usually for good reason.

I was going to say that the only topic that could raise as much goon ire is video games, but that just reminded me of the thread in PI where a guy came in asking for advice on rehoming his Golden Retrievers, because he didn't have time for them, and the thread got swarmed by WoW goons putting him on blast for playing WoW all day and neglecting his animals. It was basically a perfect storm.

I have no idea. He kind of disappeared while you were still just a mod, I think. Said something about being busy with a kid, and that was that. A shame for the forums, he was pretty cool.

The only real meltdown I remember him having was when he started crying when Pillars of Eternity reached its funding goal.

Chuck Buried Treasure posted:

Nothing super-crazy by SA drama standards, he just took the goon love of Obsidian Entertainment to an absurd degree and made a crazy-enthusiastic post about how he was literally sobbing with joy when Pillars was fully funded on Kickstarter. It’s just the one I remember because I saw it live and it was very :yikes:

No, I don't think that was Bloody Hedgehog or ChibiSoma. In fact, I'm completely sure that the crybaby goon was uh,well- me :blush: Seriously, check my rap sheet. I have no defence other than the fact that I really like Obsidian games, and I was really happy that the Kickstarter saved them. Mind you, considering we got Pillars 1&2 along with Tyranny out of the deal, I think I was fully justified :colbert:

the probation reason is "did ZDR fix this bug??" so one assumes that it is some sort of bug

you could probably gently caress with the HTTP POST parameters and the bespoke radium code didn't verify that the referenced post was actually posted by the probated poster.

when Pillars 1 came out, Arivia pointed out a backer tombstone on twitter that was just a bad transphobic joke, the devs apologized for letting it through and removed it from the game while people on twitter went apoplectic about her "censoring art"
