Brianna Wu / John Flynt - Original Thread

[AnOminous]

Heh. I totally believe that Wu wants 'equity'... about 25 Million for some ludicrous idea called "something-something-emotions meets something-something-VR".

How would a cripplingly autistic tard like Wu, who doesn't even have human facial expressions, even begin to do something like that?

If you went out of your way to try to find someone less qualified to do this, you couldn't find someone as unsuited as Wu.

WAT

There are people on this planet who think the Daniel Craig movies are not only good but even superior to older Bond movies??

The Craig movies aren't good; they in fact aren't even "Bond". There isn't a single second in them in which there is some TRUE and HONEST Bond atmosphere. The thing is, Bond used to be very tongue-in-cheek, campy and over the top - the Craig movies take themselves super seriously, there isn't a speck of humor or irony, everybody is constantly frowning and pissed-off looking... Déjà-vu: this sort of reminds me of something but I just can't pinpoint what it might be.

There are people who like the Craig movies. I get why people don't like them compared to the others, Craig Bond is a gritty shithead and the Craig Bond movies are grimdark in the extreme. That said, I'll play Devil's Advocate a moment: The different Bonds all reflect different ages and different attitudes, but each one has their own takes on the character, own setups for the world, et al. Whilst Connery Bond remains my favorite, I happen to dig all of them to some degree or another, from the sardonic wit of Pierce Brosnan Bond to the visceral brutality of Craig Bond. Objectively, some Bonds are better than others (Pierce Brosnan Bond gets a lot of shit, as does Daniel Craig Bond; Connery Bond is almost universally loved) but pretty much every incarnation of Bonds has at least one movie that's at best stunningly lackluster.

That said, you've missed the biggest bit of Brianna-ism on this one: her belief that if it's newer, it's automatically better. Permit me to give a short list:

1. Parasite Eve: Brianna Wu believes The Third Birthday is the best Parasite Eve game. It's the one most reviled by the fanbase and with a plot that makes absolutely no fucking sense.
2. Final Fantasy: Brianna Wu liked Final Fantasy XIII, and considered it the best game in the series. I don't need to dignify this with response.
3. James Bond: Spectre she considers a better movie than all of the Roger Moore Bond movies. Fuck yourself, Wu.
4. Technology: If you haven't bought the newest one, Brianna Wu considers you a low-class plebian who can't afford the very best. This doesn't cover just Apple iDevice shit: during her tenure at Millsaps she bitched incessantly about the fact that the computers in the math department were not bleeding-edge (being about a year old). Gods only know what she thought the math department at Millsaps needed with a computer with that level of power, Brianna Wu felt they were shit because of it.

In short, Wu is a shallow jackass obsessed with keeping up with the Joneses even if the Joneses have shitastic taste.

The answer is: Not at all.

She is asking on twitter how to proper light one of her in-game cutscenes, a week after her deadline ended. So, even if she would get the money for her "Project Jabberwocky", she would probably tweet on release day the question what 'biometrics' is and if it is healthier than Soylent.

Spoiler: Project Jabberwocky

I am somewhat impressed that Wu made it this far in her 'gaming carrer'. And although she asks for money for her project, but we all know that she will spend that money on anything but...

Go watch "Kingsman: The Secret Service".

So the greatest self-declared genius of the Unreal Engine is asking for people to mansplain basic shit.

 

[Cynical]

Wu retweeted this:


Obvious troll (which Wu FAVORITED TOO)

 

[Bonesnap]

Actually, she wasn't asking you shitlord. She's waiting for someone to come transplain or ideally femsplain it to her. Then she can ask them for coffee to try and further leech off their labor/success.

Honestly... I wouldn't even be surprised, if Wu hasn't written a single line of code herself.

 

[ChuckSlaughter]

The NDA I signed for the new James Bond book contained a part saying they could sue me if I disclosed anything about it, so it would be pretty amusing if Wu's inability to control her ego results in a court summons. It could be that it's different across the pond, though.

Like what kind of things don't they want you to disclose?

Vaxes are too hard for girls and gay men.

 

[Giddyup]

Nah, sci-fi was always full of politics, corruption, and drama since day one. I think the difference is that in the old days, people were there because they genuinely liked sci-fi regardless of their personal hobbyhorses, and valued having a community of people to be able to discuss the genre with. The hallmark of the parasitic SJW type is not liking the thing they're trying to take over - I mean, here we are in a thread about a game developer who hates games and software development, right?

And compare the modern SJW to 8-time Hugo winner Harlan Ellison. In 1978, he was the guest of honor at a sci fi convention in Arizona, but he slept in his car and refused to spend any money during his stay because the state had not yet voted to approve the Equal Rights Amendment. Oh, and there was also that time when he marched to Selma with Martin Luther motherfucking King.

Nowadays it's all just bullshit slacktivism.

I checked this thread just to see if Wu has shit on Fallout 4 yet in an attempt to drum up attention and not work on Revolution 60. I'm calling it.

 

[The Colonel]

She'll say something like Fallout 4 being the first time you can play as a female character.

 

[SamTheEagle]

Wouldn't put it past Wu. Back at Quakecon, Kotaku was posting updates every few moments about the Fallout 4 presentation. One of them was "You can play either male or female characters," which I guess was a shock to them? Or something?

 

[Batman VS Tony Danza]

She'll say something like Fallout 4 being the first time you can play as a female character.

And then she'll quickly burn the tweet when someone tells her she's wrong.

A part of me wonders if she'll actually fawn over Fallout 4 because of some of the more shallow similarities to Mass Effect. Dialogue wheel and voiced characters of both genders. Either way I will be very entertained as a long time Fallout fan if she says something. I would seriously enjoy watching Wu player open world games where moral choices need to be made just because of how she played the ME series. I'd love to see her play Fallout 3 and do the mission for the ghoul who wants you to kill people. He gives you a list claiming the people on it are anti-ghoul bigots. It turns out he was just using you to get access to some loot. However if you just blindly kill them then I think you never find out. I'd love seeing the moral of that mission fly over her head.

Nah, she'll just point out how problematic COD is.



Is that why it's taken you so long on your already completed game to tweak backgrounds?

 

[The Colonel]

When did COD have a create-a-character option?

 

[millais]

Last time she whined about the Fallout series (which was many months ago), she was complaining that in Fallout: NV there was too much emphasis on FPS combat gameplay mechanics that catered to "dudebro gamers" and no inclusion of non-violent gameplay mechanics, like crafting healing items and potions, which would appeal to "girl gamers".

This was pretty laughable for 2 reasons
1. Wu asserting that "girl gamers" are inferior at combat oriented gameplay and need to play a noncombat homemaker role in order to get satisfaction out of a game.
2. Wu obviously never played a modern Fallout title, because crafting healing items and potions has always been an important mechanic in the Bethesda Fallout titles. FO: NV literally had upwards of 40-50 different craftable healing items, chem injections, and food items, and the landscape was dotted with campfires and cook stoves for that purpose. Unless you played the game on the easiest difficulty setting, crafting your own healing items is absolutely necessary because buying them from vendors will bankrupt you very quickly.

 

[The Colonel]

Ah, Wu. Claiming to speak for all women everywhere.

Can someone 'shop Wu's goblin head onto the poster for What Women Want?

 

[Count groudon]

Like two games ago. Guess they thought playing as either a stereotypical raghead terrorist or a stereotypical army dude was getting old. It's actually kinda funny that Wu is so happy about the new one having so many female characters, since the ones before it had about over 20 different girls you could play as not counting DLC, while the new one only has 9.

I was just talking about this today. In Skyrim I occasionally used a potion that wasn't for health, not often but it happened enough to carry one or two non-healing potions. In NV? I'd fucking swallow a pharmacy if I was in a tight spot and it'd save my ass. Psycho/Slasher (crafted chem)/Med-X was a go-to combination. Chems could also be used out-of-combat to meet dialogue skill/stat checks you were just shy of meeting. Food? Eh. Even on hardcore mode there were only a few recipes that were worth making because of additional buffs. Fallout 4 is putting a lot more emphasis on cooking and bothered with making more animal distinctions when it comes to meat drops. I'm hoping this means we'll get a more survival feel where you may get lost avoiding a radiation storm and don't have like 15 cans of cram in every container so you may have to bite the bullet and eat raw molerat and risk drinking radiated water just to survive a bit longer. That's getting away from the original point though.

Wu talks out of her ass on a regular basis and it's funny when it comes to games. The real reason Wu wanted female CoD characters is so she can get an erection while watching their death animations.
