We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.
:actually: if you listen to Marty Robbins' other works, including the compositions that build upon that story, it's indicated that Texas Red stole the gun with all its notches by ambushing another guy who'd actually done all the killing.

Speaking of music I was thinking, we know hippies existed and in large enough numbers to protest all over the place and scribble graffiti on stuff. I think some of the songs on the radio should reflect that, stuff like Woody Guthrie's "Tear them fascists down". I mean poo poo, there's a gun in the game that's a very specific in-universe dig at Guthrie.

I'm sure most if not all ITT will know the reference but in case anyone doesn't, Woody Guthrie had a sticker on his guitar that said "This machine kills fascists" and the special battle rifle "This Machine" has "Well this machine kills commies!" carved on it. It sounds like the song was someone popular, even with all the hippy crackdowns. Some of those records could have survived.

I should stop bitching and make my own radio mod for it but that's :effort:

I like your style hombre, but this is no laughing matter. Assault on a police officer. Theft of police property. Illegal possession of a firearm. FIVE counts of attempted murder. That comes to... 29 dollars and 40 cents. Cash, cheque, or credit card?
I was very worried something had come up about Sawyer while waiting for the tweet to load.

The thing with "rumors" and "whisper networks" is that they aren't as obvious for the people outside them than the people inside them think. That's why "missing stairs" in the entertainment industry (any industry or institution, really) are such a big problem.

There have rumors for a while in a "Psst between you and me, don't let him be alone with young girls" sort of way. But as Fair Bear Maiden is right to point out, spreading rumors doesn't protect vulnerable people from an abuser.

Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

I know you're probably joking, but I think it's worth noting that if people are told things in confidence, survivors might *not* want them to share stuff. That said, this raises the question of whether this behavior was allowed at Obsidian and what role it might have played, if any, when he left (or was ousted, as hinted in the Twitter thread?)

Good writers borrow, great ones steal outright. Also lifting something from public domain folklore probably doesn’t meet most folks conception of plagiarism.

Yeah, that was my fault! Sorry about that. I posted a tweet that accused Avellone of plagiarism but on further inspection, the accusation was flimsy at best plus it was distracting from the real issue here (as others had pointed out) so I removed it.

I remember back when KOTOR2 came out he talked about how he hated writing romances and the way he described it sounded like it came from a pretty negatively skewed view of affection, I'm not totally surprised that the decade of nerd renown that followed those days developed into something pretty gross, especially considering the company he keeps online now.
