Ord Från Graven

——————————————————————

My name is Ordfrangraven, or Andreas if you know me from off-site. I make shitty art for an audience of nobody and music for shitty people.

Mainly post takes or art in the off-chance that I do post. My current main fandoms are Dead Space, DooM and The Pink Valley, but you might see me posting something Postal or Madness Combat-adjacent every once in a while. Maybe even some OC works if I’m feeling ballsy.

Nobody reads DNIs and they’re kinda pointless on the internet. I block freely, but I’m putting my foot down on any TCC interactions. Me drawing Zero Day every once in a while doesn’t mean I want to associate with school shooter supporters or larpers.

Also peep them constantly making new tags to avoid being blocked or banned because they know they’re all shitbags.

Veteran Theory was never confirmed canon and Dude Sr.’s schizophrenia is sort of a Schrodinger’s Cat situation - RWS seems to flip-flop back and forth between him suffering from a psychotic break or if he’s possessed by a Demon – but Postal 1997 for the longest time was interpreted as a man who’s long been disregarded by society finally breaking under the pressure of modern life and unchecked mental illness, enacting violence under the belief that he’s some sort of savior. Between the cryptic poems and the teaser trailers RWS has released for the game, it is implied that there is a death cult in Paradise who may or may not be prophesying a man with ‘fiery hair and a thick black coat’ going on a killing spree. And I think it’s safe to assume that the creature we hear laughing (with Rick Hunter’s voice, mind you) at the end of the first trailer is some sort of demon. They took their only game with any real artistic substance and made it about a cult. The game made as a response to workplace shootings and ‘90s American culture is about the occult. Because god forbid we stick with the things we establish! The game itself doesn’t look great either, the footage we’ve seen reeks of the Unreal Engine 4 asset-flip “style” we’ve seen in Postal 4, complete with weightless weapon animations and vehicle handling. It looks utterly generic and proves that RWS took nothing away from the criticism Postal 4 received, though given their history of calling their fans retarded for pointing out the studio they outsourced to make their trend-hopping game of the year used AI for the art assets and their social media team-slash-Discord admins throwing fits whenever people (rightfully) complain about the quality of their games, it doesn’t come as a shock to me. I think it’s also important to acknowledge that RWS abandoned Postal Redux specifically because of the poor sales figures, leaving it to rot for several years and only getting around to issuing patches for the PC and PS4/5 apps this year. Not to mention that when asked if they’d add more weapons to Postal 2 Redux (another project I think is going to suck), they explicitly said they’d only do so if the game does well enough. Postal 1997 is free and Postal 2 goes on sale for 99 cents a pop during Steam sales, Flesh and Wire and P2Redux will never meet the same figures the first two games made. If the Redux duology relies on sales to maintain support, then who’s to say Flesh and Wire won’t be tossed aside if it doesn’t perform well either? Between these, Vince Desi’s blatant bigotry and Mike-J slash Pedro’s constant public tantrums, I don’t think you should support Flesh and Wire, or Postal 2 Redux for that matter. We should not have to stand by and be complacent as RWS continues to give us 40-dollar shovelware.
