Brianna Wu / John Flynt - Original Thread

[Jaimas]

I brought this up in the big giant GG thread, but Brianna Wu's magnum opus, Revolution 60, is pretty resoundingly meh.

It looks like a game made for DS but with slightly higher resolution, and looks, essentially, like a game that came out years ago. Its gameplay is stolen from Megaman Battle Network, but about half as fast, and with interlaced Quick-Time Events. It also has Non-Quick-Time Action Events where you have unlimited time and the game won't progress at all until you do them.

The game's plot is purportedly halfway decent, but the game itself is unbearably slow and handles badly. Even with over 20 endings, the biggest draw the game has - that it's got halfway decent writing - starts to flag because the overall gameplay is both drab and boring with minimal variation, and it can be beaten in like 3 hours. The art style clashes hard with how serious the game wants to be taken.

All of this makes it fairly average, but there is one area where the game just cannot be taken seriously nor respected: how badly the game steals from Mass Effect.

In this matter, it is absolutely fucking shameless.

There are no words for just how often this game just openly steals from Mass Effect. If it did so any harder, Bioware would be well within its rights to be queuing up a lawsuit. The primary character, Holiday, essentially wears a green version of Miranda Lawson's outfit. The game uses Mass Effect's Renegade/Paragon system (in this game, called the "attitude" system), as well as the same fucking dialogue tree options. The plot proceeds literally almost along the same lines as the Mass Effect series, with Holiday our stand-in for Commander Shepard. There's another character who looks like a crossbreed between Regina (from Dino Crisis) and FemShep. And it only gets crazier from here.

Here's some more tweets I forgot to post here:

Wu and feminism

Men of the industry

Wu and gender

Beta males

Wu blames GamerGate for criticism of the GOTY game

I'm trying to figure out how this Soylent shit saves you money, like its 255 a month, I spend no where near that much on food. No to mention it seems like it tastes like shit, no wonder this chick is so unpleasent.

You save money on it when you use somebody else's cash to buy it (like your rich parents for example).

The product seems targeted to pretentious, well off hippies/hipsters. Not surprising she'd go for something like that.

 

[Damocles_Sword]

So she drinks nothing but milkshake things that taste like ass and people wonder why she is so unpleasant?

 

[Positron]

I thought she would drink Soylent Green made from cis males.

Quick! Get that woman a cheeseburger with 10cc of barbeque sauce, stat!

A brief guide to whatever the hell Wu is:
1: Used to be a guy.
2: Made bad game.
3: Fabricates harassment for attention instead of making a better game.
4: On Twitter constantly attention whoring instead of making a better game.
Am I missing anything?

Obscenely rich parents who gave her $200000 for nothing.

Obscenely rich ADOPTED parents. Someone needs to call Connor because she is the perfect example for why adoption is evil.

I forgot he's a trust fund kid too.

[DC 740]

Listen, even if it has to be a soy burger, putting something in your mouth that isn't a trustafarian milkshake will do this person's attitude a lot of good work.

Like, look at that Buddha mother fucker. He knows what is up.

A friend of mine who got some based on a dare informed me that Soylent tasted markedly worse than the Barium-based contrast dye they give patients before X-Rays. A few interviews on the substance described it as tasting like a mix of fiber drinks (like metamucil) and pancake batter. It's purportedly rather disgusting and because the human body is not intended to take food in slurry format, gastrointestinal problems and dietary issues abound. Conveniently, there's been no empirical study on the benefits of an all-soylent diet, and given how much Wu and company hate peer review, there may never be.

Just imagine when Wu runs out of money for soylent and has to eat real food.
Her digestive system would probably malfunction for receiving actual food in years.

the human body is not intended to take food in slurry format, gastrointestinal problems and dietary issues abound.

The thought of that elven like humanoid having digestive problems is disgusting.

one last thing while I'm sperging. I got a bone to pick with her image macros about gamer gate.

The problem is that Brianna Wu has no idea how to convey comedy when doing social commentary.
firt, the autistic child is not shooped in properly. look at the borders near the child's elbows. if Brianna had the time to fade away the edges it would blend more into the picture and not stick out like an eye sore.
Her pacing for jokes are bad. The first image macro for example, starts with large font, which is ok to grab attention. but the dialogue on the bottom of the image is small, making it seem unimportant and not much of a punch line.

second it's stupid to use image macros to convey satire. look at pro Gaymer gate people who make their own little political cartoons and don't depend on stupid outdated memes and websites where they do image macros for you.

 

[Puppies.]

/cow/ is leaking.

So how is any of this different than the Gamergate thread? Besides focusing on one person I have yet to see something that wouldn't be posted there. Same posters, same Twitter stalking, same everything.

 

[HG 400]

Waaaah, a thread exists and I'm not personally interested in it.

 

[ChuckSlaughter]

It's not transphobia. People are merely pointing out the absurdity in someone like Wu claiming to represent women, considering herself an expert in their oppression by personal experience, and playing victim when she was a privileged white boy for most of her life.

The prejudice she gets for being a woman have to be practically imperceptible over the waves of shit she must get in life for being an ugly trans who doesn't comb her hair.

Why could that be? Twitter stalking on kiwi?
What does any of that prove?
Fuck off troy the old thread migrated off lolcow because it wasn't about a lolcow anymore but more like gamergate play by play. This one is about a lolcow. Ignore the thread.
Also I would not fuck you.

I don't know why I used to replace a lot of meals made with mostly protein shakes, like and oats and it was not bad... also not expensive.
I have a hard time believing that soylent isn't pretty much directly ordered from true protein where you can eat for like less than 10 dollars a week if you wanna be a wu.
