It's not even that difficult for someone semi-connected to get nominated for a Nobel Prize, even if they have literally zero chance of winning. It's still disgusting this worthless whore got even nominated and came in second to a national treasure like Ursula K. LeGuin though. The Hugos are so fucked and rigged she might have even won had LeGuin not died that very year.

Yeah anybody can be nominated, but winning is completely different.

Now I'm going to go read A Wizard of Earthsea.

Whoa, Turbo. The baby-killer is talking about voting for books to become nominated; she's not saying any of those books have yet been nominated.

Even if the Hugo nominees are going to be SJW trash, surely there's more notable SJW trash than Goddess Mode… right? I guess we'll see.

I guess only Lindsay has the intellect to appreciate the writing masterpiece that is Goddess Mode.

 

[Frosted Snowflakes]

Guess what! Zoe's comic is nominated for the Hugo's!

Basically the usual people are out there trying to promote it. Y'know sucking someone elses cock, while they get sucked off, in a big circle of cocksucking, the usual.

Something's fishy going on, like someone keeps nominating Zoe Quinn for favors.

 

[Sissy Galvez]

Her shit comic isn’t nominated, it’s eligible to be nominated. Nominations close this Friday but given how she was nominated last year for her fake autobiography and nearly beat out a an actual beloved author of sci-fi I wouldn’t be surprised if she gets nominated again.

A lot of shitty scammer SJWs are begging their followers to nominate them for their “books” this year in joke categories like “fan” etc.

Vote for that Transformers book over her garbage.

That's the point, isn't it? That the Hugos are open to voting campaigns by fans/people on the internet that are able to mobilize swaths of other internet people to click a box?

I assume if she gets nominated, KiA will act accordingly.

Is Chelsea still attached to this project? I recall she was credited as "narrative writer" or something on an unnamed project last year.

You're right, and it seems so. Taken from RockPaperShotgun.

One thing that did get my attention was mention on Twitter that Zoë Quinn has been working on Solar Ash Kingdom as a narrative designer for the past couple years. The Depression Quest developer has been busy recently, juggling multiple projects including writing new DC comics series Goddess Mode. While I’ve not had a chance to read it yet, I’ve heard some good things, so nice to have a dedicated wordsmith involved. It also makes me curious to see how Solar Ash Kingdom will be telling its story, considering that Hyper Light Drifter had no traditional dialogue.

The prose style is that of a pathetic soyboy who either just got his dick sucked the first time or, more likely, merely dreams of one day having his dick sucked.

Honestly, I could give a fuck if her neon vomit comic wins some peripheral award from a lolcow-adjacent group. An obscure award isn't going to make it sell more copies, and Chelsea's only realistic goal with the comic was to add another appearance of legitimacy to her resume.

Chelsea has enough cache to stay afloat in cuckworld for the foreseeable future, and that's fine with me. Chelsea and neckbearded limpdicks deserve each other.

Well RPS, you are in luck. After studying Chelsea's portfolio, I can pretty much guarantee it will be cringe-inducing juvenile quirkiness that will tiresomely tell the player story elements by narration instead of establishing it via atmosphere, gameplay, or in-character conversation.

Like Chelsea's dead jellyfish, she isn't even pretending Project Tingle is a thing that existed. Dead project flushed down the memory toilet to swim with the jellyfishes.

Didn't they already do that with sad puppies? And the people involved basically said it was just a troll brigade, and gave secret awards out to the ones they think deserved it?

 

[KillThemCrackasBabies]

I think I asked this a while back but "narrative design" is just a self-indulgent way of saying writer, right?

It sounds more like a way of saying someone who sucked someone's dick and got a credit and actually did absolutely nothing.

This game looks completely unappealing. I don't see myself spending even $1.99 on Steam sale. The music in the trailer was super annoying. Bottom line: even Chelsea can't make it worse, it's already bland as hell soyboy spunk.

Edit: I realized that hell is not bland.

Nope, you have to be a worldcon member to nominate.

 

[Hellshake Yano]

I like how she's claiming to be a part of ECCC and C2E2 (and GDC?) despite them overlapping each other and how she's not listed as a guest for either one.

Which involves paying to attend.

 

[ColorfulCassowary]

It'll be interesting to see how Zoe Quinn writes for an actual game. One without poorly cropped jpgs.

I think I asked this a while back but "narrative design" is just a self-indulgent way of saying writer, right?

It's extremely self indulgent and probably should be called "Scenario Writer" as the main difference is a "Narrative Designer" is a writer for interactive media (as opposed to non-interactive media, like movies and books). It's used as a "catch all" title for people who "design" a game, without contributing coding, art/asset design, gameplay design, music/sound design, level design, or any thing else that could be called tangible design.

It's primarily useful for very large RPG games where you will frequently have huge lists of options for a large number of quests that all interact (like early Fallout games) and most people think of Chris Avelone (although he was more than just the Narrative Designer on his games, he was also the lead designer/Sr. Designer) when thinking of a "real" Narrative Designer. The game announced doesn't look like it needs a dedicated narrative designer and if they have been working on it for two years already, they don't have much to show for it in that trailer.

But then again, Zoe has also been working on that Pound me in the Butt game for three years and has even less to show for that.
