Brianna Wu / John Flynt - DEAGLE NATION STILL LIVES

[The Nameless One]

Being an edge lord when you're nearly 40 is just sad, no matter how you look at it.

Holy shit, this. It's really sad, you can tell Wu is trying to emulate his ideal of ironic, aloof, "edgy" 20-something women. But it just comes across like... like..

Spoiler: Oh God, it's so strikingly similar

I'm gonna quote a game line here verbatim because it describes Wu rather well.

"She's insecure. If you're comfortable with who you are, you don't need to act superior."

I've skipped a bunch of pages in this thread. Did Revolution 60 come out yet?

SHE'S WORKIN' ON IT!

I'm an adult and have to go to sleep, but she's got 80 minutes left. She has logged back into Steam, but only to play 0.4 hours of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. Maybe she's about to release?

I did find the LinkedIn for GSK's engineer:

Software Engineer
Giant Spacekat
March 2011 – February 2015 (4 years)Greater Boston Area
Lead programmer/engineer for iOS game "Revolution 60" released July 2014. Additionally, completed PC port to be released spring 2015.
- Programmed entire game, utilizing UnrealScript (OO scripting language for Unreal, based off of Java).
- Conducted internal testing and worked with QA to find and address bugs.
- Provided general trouble-shooting for Unreal and 3D programs ("Batphone" support)
- Optimized content for mobile platform.
- Developed and documented pipelines.
- Additionally performed some 3D technical art (rigging, scripting).

It's telling that she completed the port and John still can't push it out the door.

/b/ was never good.

At this point I'm pretty much convinced the Rev60 port will never be released. Plonking the "game" to Steam now, after missing every single deadline that was set by Wu, would be a negative in every conceivable way.

Nothing that Wu might have done to make the whole thing """""look better""""" after the port was essentially finished matters in the slightest, because constantly lying about getting important work done on something and talking about meeting deadlines that you never meet when you're actually being lazy and playing games and tweeting on your "super secret account" is so laughably easy to prove. Every piece that covers and lauds Rev60 as some sort of marvel can and will be shot down ten times over.

Even Rani knows those memes, goddamn. But those are my two favorites, hands down. Also squeaky sand. What the fuck, Big Boss.

You know, I'm kind of surprised that Wu has never once referenced the need to construct additional Pylons. Guess she's not a real gamer grill.

Pylons are too phallic. They remind Wu of something lost and severed.

Then what are the Sunken Colonies supposed to represe--

Goddamnit Freud.

Remember the scene at the end, where Tassadar crashes the Gantrithor into the Overmind?

Totally not Freudian. Totally not.

I bet John can't even name the game that was buried in mass quantities in a landfill just before the year the game industry crashed (bet he can't name that event either)

He does know the name. Why do you think he named his dog Crash?

 

[Cynical]

Wouldn't be so sure. He has (or had) a dog named Splat, seems to have a penchant for dog names that foreshadow his IRL fuckups.

What is "Revolution 60?"

 

[BILLY MAYS]

What is "Revolution 60?"

Be fair to

ET

, at least it was produced.

Random Wu thought: Why do I think that calling Wu "John Flynt" is an equivalent to yelling JULAY, except that it worked?
