When you change the triangle into an obtuse triangle, the orthic triangle disappears along with the centers of the orthic triangle. Let's see what happens when triangle ABC is a right triangle.

Prove that the centroid is two-thirds the distance from each vertex to the opposite side.
This means that any two medians meet at their point two-thirds of the way from the vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. So all three do because G is the concurrency of three medians.
