It's not true tho.

The sculptor worked on KKK projects but Rushmore itself was not funded by KKK.

It's still a monument to wrongdoing but we don't need to lie to make it look bad.

No,

Serious teams know that building big software is hard and that starting by having a set deadline is the first failure point of a project.

Serious team wants a set budget and feature set. They also want a dialog with the aquiring party, because as you dig deeper in the software you uncover oddities. These oddities are more often than not a failure of the aquiring party understanding of their own business operations.

And thus, a serious team will help the aquiring party refine their business process by either removing useless steps, adding missings steps or changing a step in the overall workflow. And that's were the most of the value of making a new software comes from.

Doing waterfall will stop this from happening and will remove actual value from the software because it's going to be bloated with useless things that were badly understood by the aquiring party.

Agile is about producing as much value as possible, as fast as possible, in a set budget.

English is my third language so sorry if it's hard to understand or feel aggressive.

I have no idea what I'm talking about but would that be enough to replace the magnetosphere? From what I understand, a Magnetosphere is needed to have a sustainable colony, unless this has been disproved recently ..

I don't feel like I have to discuss with someone who clearly is in bad faith.

Go learn about a subject before talking about it, that's it. All you said was petulant bullshit. Go read La conquete du pain or something before talking about anarchy, you clearly have no idea what you are talking about and instead are reugitating speudo-intellectual word salad.

If you're so fragile you feel you need to block me, i have no words for you other than : go touch grass, go read about your subjet and come back a better person.

I wish you well!

I never said anything like that. I never said i beleived in anarchy. You just are factually wrong on all counts.

Go read the anarchist philosophers, you'll see what I mean.

You are still writing word salad by the way... Really ... Touch grass, read a book about the subject you want to talk about and come back a changed person!

I wish you well!

Well, I don't understand why you think anarchist means no rules.

It means no hierarchy.

It's even the whole word itself.

An-Archy. Hier-archy.

So your thesis is based on wrong assumptions and is a word salad from my point of view.

I like the sentiment but aa is ... Urgh...

But yeah this looks like a call for help.

Well, to be fair, they sold out since a while a back.

"At that time where our finances had become healthy again, I brought up that since we had the means to do so, we should pay back the employees who gave up their paychecks to keep us going. That comment was met with silence by all the owners."

They are not in there for art anymore. Money's the game now ...

The outer worlds world building was cool, the voice acting was nice... I can't remember the game story at all. The gameplay had only one quality : it existed. The weapon selection could have been cool but it was not. They didn't weave the good world building they did in the other elements of the game and it was a shame.

So, I think it's a lost opportunity of a game. It could have been way cooler with not a lot of efforts. I feel it took some risks while avoiding all the risks a game should take.

TL;DR : This game is like horseradish. It starts strong then offer no more flavor than what it started with. Then you get tired of that flavor and ask yourself why you are eating horseradish in the first place.

Anti-communist propaganda is all the rage everywhere.

If you like the game, but the propaganda is affecting you, sorry.

I know games are an escape but you don't have to be ideological about everything... playing a game with bad takes won't make you less communist if you really are communist.

You can take that as a test of your resolve, to make it more fun.

Yeah! It's fascinating seeing both types of post from trumpidor the first. That said ... I wonder how that works in our material world.

I mean - from my point of view and analysis, trumpidor is either an actor playing the role of a floundering politician or a floundering politician.

If he is an actor, most of what I see starts to make sense. He has a team, he works with other, he's mostly a Muppet with other imperialist hands up his ass and so he must be pitied as he is not his own man.

If he is not ... Everything becomes more complicated as he's most likely only a demented old man in an untenable position, trying his best to stay afloat in the sea of shit he is himself creating. It's at best a real attempt at disturbing the uncomfortable status quo and at worst, elder abuse.

But I'm to get back to the subject, what I am really wondering is how it would work in real life if he had a team writing these. How can these people sleep at night ? Who are they ? Where do they come from ? Why don't they talk / whistleblower / boast about it ?

Keeping secret is hard ...

So maybe we are just seeing trumpidor in moments of lucidity and then in rage/drugs/stress induced moments ?

It's so hard to guess from so far away ...

Obsidian is an AA studio.

They used to be indie and produce masterpiece games that didn't get sold because they didn't have mass appeal. Both Pillars game are awesome - it's kinda sad that they now do 3d games with minimal deepness - and i'm not saying Avowed and The Outer World are not awesome in some ways, just that they lack the little something both pillars had.
