Tim Cain marries a man and leaves Carbine Studios

[sea]

Who gives a shit about his personal life? He's a game developer and a smart guy, who the hell cares what he does in his own time, what his orientation is, or who he chooses to marry.

 

[racofer]

The Codex does.

I suppose if Hitler made the greatest RPG ever that would make it ok to leave his personal warmongering and genocide out of it, right? RIGHT?

 

[sea]

I suppose. I guess the right question is "why." I mean, I don't like Emmanuel Kant, if I found out Chris Avellone liked to read Kant in his spare time, I don't think I'd get pissed at him and start questioning his ability as a game developer.

 

[SCO]

I would.

Well, he DID build the autobahns and everyone uses them without complaining about how the guy who commissioned their buidling did warcrimes and all that.

Tim Cain doesn't like Kant either.

It was built on Jewish tears and bones.

Thread needs more NSFW bear porn.

But what if Hitler...had married a man?

 

[kaizoku]

I don't see why this is so upsetting.
After all, the favorite type of porn by the codexers is tranny porn. Which is nothing more than a temporary step to full bromance, which finally conveys into bearmance.

Congratulations to Tim.

They've been rebuilt several times over and he only built them to get his armies faster from A to B. Fucking moron nazi scum...

Fucking moron nazi scum...

Was this directed at Hitler or JarlFrank?

Not really, but one wouldn't change the other.

It isn't. Just remember that we have a few select posters that post here mainly because they want everyone to know how homosexuality is ruining their life and cramping their style.

Don't know. Did it happen to be polish people that made it in "EA camps" with a very tight deadline?

 

[Exmit]

hopefully he'll be more of a fag and make arcumanum 2 happen lol

fixed that for ya

 

[Andhaira]

WHAT! THE! FUCK!!

Are you telling me Tim Cain is a fag now? Honestly, what the fuck??!!??

Western civilization is doomed, what with all these closet fags coming out of the woodwork. I guess I should be celebrating, but honestly I just can't fincd it in me.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

What happened to Andahaira?

 

[Coyote]

Ask Jasede to tell you about the pigs. There was also a study done a few years ago where lab rats who ate artifically sweetened foods gained more weight than those who ate sugar-sweetened foods. The current hypothesis-thing is that it does terrible things to your metabolism because your body expects a lot of calories but gets practically nothing.

Studies probably funded by sugar companies. Sounds like bull to me, the body doesn't "expect" things just because of the flavor you feel in your mouth.

Can't say anything about the specific example in question, but part of what goes on when your body builds tolerance to drugs is that it learns to respond to behaviors/environments associated with their use so that it can start producing the neurochemicals it uses to respond to their effects ahead of time. For example, if you use heroin regularly enough, the act of preparing the needle or arriving at the place where you normally use it will cause your brain to start producing the same neurochemicals that, in a first-time user, would be produced to respond to the introduction of heroin into their system after-the-fact. (It's actually possible, as a result, to overdose by using the same amount of a drug you normally use if you do so in sufficiently different conditions such that your body doesn't recognize you're using and adequately prepare for it.) I wouldn't be surprised to learn that there's a similar physiological response to taste.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Did Tim Cain ever give a reason why he left Carbine Studios?
This bugs the hell outta me. I was really looking forward to a Tim Cain styled game, even if it was an MMO. The last Tim Cain game was TOEE (bloodlines was more a boyarski thing). Now it will probably never happen. Dude probably just got a professorship or something, so it's doubtful we'll ever get another of his games.

 

[DraQ]

This is the same Tim Cain that thought FO3 was AWESOME. Don't hold your fucking breath.

Oh, and if you are pissed about his thoughts about FO3, check out Tim's thoughts on Oblivion being the greatest RPG of the 00's.

Dat moment when you find out that "visionary" you adore is probably just an ordinary clueless fuck who just got lucky once (or had good coworkers).

Spoiler

Most "visionaries" are actually this.

Spoiler

And most actual visionaries suffer from crippling blindness in one or more other areas distinct from their genius (plus additional inability to acknowledge it because "vishunary!") so they need just as much luck.

 

[GameGear]

I got no love for homothugs

 

[Barbarian]

I had no idea the guy was actually gay. I had read the odd comment here and there but I thought it was a joke.

Well, at least the guy keeps it mostly to himself. He doesn't go all out like Gaider.

 

[Infinitron]

Gaider was actually "in the closet" for longer than Tim (only became common knowledge like 2-3 years ago)
