Brianna Wu / John Flynt - Original Thread

[Bonesnap]

Wu's cheekbones are super pointed and jutting out, aren't they?

Cheek implants were part of the transition, to attempt to give the illusion of high cheekbones. You can tell by looking at the pre- and post-John Flynt pictures. You can also tell by the way the cheeks are constantly jutting out and not changing with facial expressions the way normal human cheeks do. The end result I now realize is something much like Maureen Ponderosa in the latest season of It's Always Sunny.

So in other words its not worth it for a lawyer to fight for a kickstarter dontation.

Exactly. Unless, for instance, they could file as a class action on behalf of everyone, and the kickstarter would still have to be pretty big in its entirety to make this worthwhile. In fact, since the main defendant is likely to be judgment proof if they just absconded with the money, converted it to something they sent up their nostrils, etc., it would have to be worth going after Kickstarter itself for their share.

I.e. pretty unlikely unless that gets really, really big.

If a plastic surgeon actually charged money to do this, what a quack. They managed to turn Wu from a douchey looking somewhat effeminate guy to a freakish looking completely mannish mutant.

Of course, it's possible this is exactly what Wu insisted on and is basically the Wu equivalent of Phil's shitty tattoos.

The only thing I can see happening at this point is if someone who donated really wants to go after Brianna for breach of contract compensates the lawyer for doing so. The only reason to do that would have nothing to do with the kickstarter though and she would basically get a soapbox to stand on. I personally would really like to get a peek into her financials. We could finally prove whether Natalie exists or not.

The the future space stations are going to look like cheap Star Trek sets made from cardboard cutouts, but the lighting will be ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!

Back in the day, I made a few Half-Life levels, just because to see if I could. They looked better than this.

I can suspend my disbelief for ridiculous hair styles. It might look like it holds a second brain for Holiday, but after all it is just hair (at least I hope so).

This image has far greater and easily fixed problems:
The light coming of the monitors is illuminating the walls, which should be impossible unless there are a red spotlight aiming at each one of them. The textures on the monitors are too bright, they look painful to look at and you hardly can make out their text. Your eye is automatically drawn to them, especially to the left, but action is in the bottom right and the middle. The entire rest of the room is too bright, which makes those red lights appear even brighter than they are probably supposed to be. The textures are still muddy, something I could live with, but the floor and the wall looks like concrete. Is it concrete? Is this a building? If so why is the hallway octagonal?

Apart from that the entire scene is missing detail, except for the doodads on the wall. It seems like the entire room was just made with three basic shapes. A box for the floor, a cylinder for the room and an eight sided tube for the hallway. This looks like a run-down laser tag arena and could have been saved by adding a frame and an open door to the hallway entrance, putting a few ducts, cables and pipes in there and making it look like some of the things in there actually had some sort of function, except being 'glowy scifi things'. Even the crates look like something you would replace with a little bit more detailed model, just make them a little bit more "companion cuby".

That hallway has edges sharp enough to cut yourself on.

I wonder when Wu said Rev 60 is done he meant the game is not being worked on anymore

Is John really that desperate for attention? Checking that account, it appears it only posted like 7 tweets or so, all except the one John retweeted is directed towards femfreq in June-July.

Sockpuppet. Nobody aside from John would ever say he's famous because he is not.

You're right, she just made this shit up. Even I have some notion that if I were going to make a game I might spend some time walking around town and in buildings taking pictures and looking on the internet for ideas about how things are supposed to look so that I'm not just endlessly putting things in place and yanking them out to see if it looks right. It's weird that frank just let her do this without a mansplaining session the whole time.

The textures are still muddy, something I could live with, but the floor and the wall looks like concrete. Is it concrete? Is this a building? If so why is the hallway octagonal?

Concrete may have a place on spaceships and space stations because, due to containing a lot of hydrogen, it is a great material for slowing down the fast atomic nuclei in cosmic radiation that are harmful to astronauts. Against gamma radiation lead is optimal, but against particle radiation (the most prevailing and risky kind in space) you want something with lots of hydrogen nuclei (protons) in it. In lead the fast cosmic radiation nuclei would knock lose showers of neutrons which would be even more harmful to astronauts than the fast nuclei themselves, but from the protons they rebound, transferring a substantial fraction of their kinetic energy to them, being effectively slowed down. Thus it has been suggested that future spaceships should either store their water supply as a hull around the habitat, or else use a layer of lunar concrete or have active shielding which deflects cosmic radiation particles with magnetic fields (or a combination of all these).

As for the new version of R60, well, Brianna already lauded herself over making everything look like it was doused in neon paint, she sees this as a great improvement. Someone said the iOS version was too dark, so the obvious course of action was to crank brightness, contrast and colorization up to the max.
