This is a draft outline I was working on for a bit, a while back. Cohost is closing and I don't think I'll be ending up anywhere else where the final form of this essay would fit, and I don't have the time right now to finish writing it, so I'm just shooting off the outline to the air. Everything after this paragraph is unmodified from how it existed in my drafted posts this whole time. The point of this essay was basically just complaining about directors who only say yes, to be clear, and not actually about Todd Howard. I still need to staple Todd onto Sax Johnson tbh

!!!UNDRAFTED OUTLINE!!!

bilge about elder scrolls games losing polish under todger howhard

describe todger's best design works at bethedsdas

pivot to sycophantic direction, being clear that i dont know if todger is such a director but he seems the type and the games have the problems that causes

define sycophantic directors. how that different from normal?

explain normal director process with how negative feedback max mandatory when is having an directors

explain why directors are even a thing

talk about how it's common for extremely good designers to be sycophantic directors if given director positions, especially after traumatizing crunch bcus hard to separate the director from the crunch mentally

benisda interjection :DDDDDD they had big awful crunch on dingusfail b4 working on morroweiner!!!!! and Todger Howhard bcame le man on morroweiner because Bethesda v1 got shot in an alleyway and transgendified into Bethesda v2 and Zenimax

back to sycophantic direction, explain the types of problems that come up when it happens

include audio clip of emil pagliarulo saying he doesnt listen to criticism as a meme joke funny

talk about how difficult good directing is as a dickpat for any directors who read this (this bitch never directed shit she dont know for sure, research this properly before writing)

conclude with a lighthearted funny image. sax johnson with todger howhard's face stapled on? drawing of alien eatig spagety, but w/ emil pagliarulo's face (maybe also dark brotherhood)? one of those stupid pcmr memes from 2014 but replace gaben with julian lefay?

IF YOU HAVE AN ACCOUNT IN ELDER SCROLLS ONLINE, AND YOU PLAY ON THE NORTH AMERICA SERVER, JOIN KiLlEr JeStEr GaNg (listed in guild finder), A GUILD FOR PEOPLE WHO LIKE FUNNY POSTS AND/OR CLOWN MAKEUP AND/OR COULD KILL THE SUN.

ALSO REMEMBER YOU HAVE 5 GUILD SLOTS IN ESO, NOT 1

THE GUILD RECRUITING FOR THE FOLLOWING EVENTS:

• Jine Jeleven, our annual juggalo-themed 9/11 reenactment party (2/2 firefighters, 4/20 victims, 1/1 pilots, 2/0 towers please apply)
• A wake being held for legendary comedian Brian "Limmy" Limond, who isn't dead but will probably die some day, at which point our long con will pay off
• Not an event more like a random recurring thing, trying to get people together who are really good at dungeons so we can do some low-player-count challenges, like 4-man dragons, harrowstorm duets, etc. like the limmy wake is fake and nobody's actually signed up for jine jeleven yet but this one is 100% real please

so the queer representation is, kind of ironically, right on the real ratio of queer to nonqueer irl, but i noticed that lebinsiasm is massively overrepresented. i dont know if ive run into a single man-for-man couple in the entire game yet, it feels like all of the gay rep cup is filled entirely with lesbian juice and you're just told to imagine a hint of MAN SEX in there by the person who mixed it cus they ran out of dudelovers.

has anyone who has played ESO located where the manfags are? are there manfags? i need to go to the manfag exhibit.

(while writing this: i just remembered that federo is gay for sharp-as-night. anyone who hasnt tried out the necrom chapter yet, sharp's entire storyline is that gay shit)
