Brianna Wu / John Flynt - DEAGLE NATION STILL LIVES

[AnOminous]

I wonder how much "feminist business leadership" an intern can learn at a company that has no products, no income, and one employee, who is -- let's be clinical about this -- an emaciated, surgically enhanced hag of a female impersonator whose management style can be charitably characterized as banshee crankhead?

There is actually no company, though. No employees. Since R60 ended and the swindle bucks ran out, all those people are gone. All Wu has is imaginary friends as employees, like "Natalie O'Brien" and all the other people who have no existence outside of email people received, having been suckered into thinking they were talking to someone other than Wu itself.

I was counting Flynt/Wu as being the sole employee. And the sole CEO. And the sole manager. And the sole director of development. All rolled into one. I'm betting that staff meetings are epic as Flynt/Wu the sole employee tells Flynt/Wu the sole manager to stop mansplaining as Flynt/Wu the sole director of development stares into space as Flynt/Wu the CEO furiously Tweets about GamerGate terrorists.

An intern who's working on a degree in abnormal psychology could learn a lot at Giant Spacekat.

Will no one think of the long suffering Hugo-winning GSX associate Frank Wu?

A woman is vying for the most powerful job in the world, and all John can do is make fun of her clothes. Nice casual misogyny, you fucking white male.

He's won Hugo awards, just in case you didn't know.
About the Hugo awards.
Which he won.

And thank god for that.

Translation: I am too lazy and/or to incompetent to complete Rev60 "Steam Super Dancefloor Rainbow Vomit Edition 3000" on my own. I am in need of some cheap labor I can throw at that problem, will pay in life-lessons and feminism."

Yeah, you're right. There's simply no budget for employees, so the best she could manage would be some volunteers and founders who don't need a salary. Aside from Wu, Warner, and Frank, they list no other staff on their page. I only assume Warner remains involved due to the GSX page and her LinkedIn profile. Frank's bumping bollocks with her, so his involvement goes without saying. Natalie is most likely imaginary. @Yellow Yam Scam's post contained that except in which Wu claims that she hired Natalie despite her being six months pregnant.

So a start-up, with headcount of around 6, decides immediately to piss away a chunk of their payroll by hiring someone who is almost immediately going on leave during the formative phase of the company's life? And this is for a simple admin role? Even by dot com bubble standards, this'd be crazy unless you were looking at an irreplaceable person. Natalie's job is to answer the office tweet and, supposedly, help Wu deal with her online harassment. The only way Natalie exists and is paid staff is if Wu has decided instead to do the job herself but has kept Natalie on staff, presumably paying her in soup.

Do you know if Warner remains involved? I'd have imagined she would have purged GSX from her LinkedIn profile.

 

[Sarcastic Username]

Do you know if Warner remains involved? I'd have imagined she would have purged GSX from her LinkedIn profile.

My sense is that Warner is still involved, but has taken the stay-at-home-mom move that so many other women have done.

She works taking care of her kid (which is, make no mistake, real work), supported by her husband. In her spare time she works on Cupcake Crisis w/o pay. That project may never be finished. And that's okay, really.

In some ways, very similar to Bray, but she doesn't keep on talking about how awesome she is and how she is an awesome developer and her major game update is going to come out any day now so you have to stop mansplaining things to her.

. . . Hey, since Bray has removed her iOS game from the play store, there is an awesome very innocent question that can be asked any time she does an interview or media appearance: "Where can I play your game? Is it on the app store?" It's a question any eager listener would want answered.

This man speaks truth. By all accounts, the only employees left at Giant SpaceKat are Brianna, Frank, and Amanda Warner, who has the common sense to fuck off and leave Wu to her devices.

Oh, and Natalie, but Natalie doesn't fucking exist.

 

[KingGeedorah]

Oh, and Natalie, but Natalie doesn't fucking exist.

But if she doesn't exist, who will screen the hate mail and save Bri from harassment?

Won't anyone think of the Trannies!

She could have hired Chloe Sagal and paid her Autism Welfare. Now she'll have to committ suicide again.

Anna Megill still has creative director for "Project Untold" on her linkedin.

Speaking of Natalie, what's Bri's headmate count at this point:

1. John
2. Lauren
3. Natalie
4. Holiday
5. Minuete
6. Sara E Champagne
7. Stephen G. Phillips
8. Lock picking high school boyfriend
9. Cisco engineer boyfriend
10. Author of "letter from former gamergater"
I'm pretty sure there's some other personas/obsessive fixations in there I'm not thinking of.

"I expect GSX to have internships"
You are so delusional that you think that your imaginary "company" with no employees besides you and your husband, is big enough to offer internships when you can't even deliver a single game?

So now that the Tranny Certificate Crisis™ is seemingly averted, Wu feels safe to assert being an engineer again and proceeds to mansplain something to someone who didn't ask for a lecture. I think Twitter has a rule against that... mhh... ah, yes here: "

Name one piece of mainstream media coverage Revolution 60 has received other than the people you conned into covering it.

Anyway, I love this image. Do you know why?

It proves that Wu doesn't know how to effectively utilize assets and is just as terribly optimized as I accused it of being:

1. That over-drawn ship Holiday jumps on and shoots has literally over 9000 polygons. For a non-animate object.
Fix: You could have, with simple and effective use of bump mapping and the like, made that fucking thing in a third of the polycount. I know nothing about Unreal and even I know you keep it simple on objects.

2. This heavily implies that the overdone environments and graphics therefore were similarly overblown, explaining why Wu would get slowdown from object shattering or particle effects use.

3. We know from earlier that she used multiple animation draw events for each character as well.

Long and short, it's a poorly-optimized mess.
