1. MLMarkland attempted to make a new thread today containing some of his favorite movie trailers (and didn't even bother to embed them properly) but a thread for movie trailers already exists, in the Library
2. I moved MLMarkland's posts to that existing thread
3. I noted that, for some reason I still can't fathom, MLMarkland edited one of those moved posts to include his "company" LinkedIn account
4. I edited that post to remove said link, because that's a no-no
5. MLMarkland got upset that I edited that out then re-edited the post to say what the first post in this thread now says
6. Since the newly-edited post contains a complaint and a request (actually, a demand) to delete his Codex account, I moved that post to Site Feedback
7. You are here

Everyone knows that's Monty. You're not really protecting him?

Like am I some secret fucking guy?

I’ve been here for 2 decades almost.

I’m the only dev who will play ball here.
Tbh I think you've most likely picked the wrong place on the internet to flex that Hollywood/Game industry important guy status. The only important dev here is NoMoneyNoFameNoDame, who even has his own subforum here on the Codex.

game industry especially is so jaded, we at the codex are even more jaded, all this flexing can only cause a negative reaction.

An oasis of love and friendship.
Make the Codex Great Again! Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag. I helped put crap in Monomyth

notice how all codex devs are a bit nuts?

Cleve isn't nuts, the world is nuts.

It’s only perceived as a flex if you are under 30 or new.

Otherwise you are damn well old enough and have enough damn sense that every developer who hangs here is asked by their employer to not do so because of the “tenor of the discourse” and word choice and only a few simply don’t give a shit.

You would be mistaken, at least in the crpg side of the industry.
Could also mean that most crpg devs are utterly irrelevant for the industry due to their small size and their small audience
Yes literally no one in the business copies the crpg guys and tries to incorporate rpg design patterns into their shooter / football sim / racing game / crime lord sim / etc.

you mistake the impact RPG aspects had on the wider industry with the influence current CRPG devs have, which is nil

I know zero founders who didn’t start their companies because of a roleplaying game.

I also know zero crpg developers who haven’t moonlighted or white labeled some broader market Game you know but wouldn’t put their name on it.

Sounds like you fulfilled your patriotic duties and did everything right. At ease.
