Yeah...those are self-mutilation cuts, period.

Not enough bruising, or abrasions. Single-line cuts on all faces of the arm, all of essentially the same size?

There is simply no way this could be done in the manner she indicated.

Nice to see that Wu is at the level of the tumblr cutters who post a gashed arm photo with the caption: "If this gets 100 retweets I'll throw away my razor and never do this again."

Literally the most pathetic shit I thought I'd ever seen....until Wu:

Trying to cash in on someone else's pathetic slicer-dicer. There are no words for how pathetic, desperate, and insecure you are Wu.

Wu mentioned using Maya in some earlier tweets.

Also, the whole laptop processor core thing makes me facepalm.

Modeling programs are murder on a processor since modeling is dumped completely onto the processor(s) to do (textures are dumped onto the GPU, unless it's a motherboard integrated unit, in which case the processor is doing some of the work, and it would run like ass no matter what in that case), and 3D modeling requires a metric shitton of calculations by the processor run in realtime, and anyone with the slightest ounce of technical sense would do this shit on a desktop since it's much harder to overheat a desktop.

Desktops have a higher profile, exhaust holes, and better fans, so even a weak desktop processor would do better than those laptop processors simply because it can stave off burnout much better.

Mac laptops are absolutely fine for the level of 3D work Wu does. I know plenty of people who do way more complex 3D with them and don't "burn them out"

It's iOS-tier poly modelling not like she's doing Hollywood CG sculpts in ZBrush, even her pre-rendered scenes barely have any lighting and basic materials I'm shocked it takes any time to render them at all unless she's really really incompetent at setting the scenes up.

This is all absolutely typical Wu stuff, claiming her work is a lot more technical and requires a lot more power/work than it really does. Remember when she didn't re-render the intro video as widescreen because it would take too long? Yet it looked like something even an average machine would pump out at 1+ frames a second at 1080p… zero lighting, zero GI, zero procedural materials, zero complex materials, game level polycount

I think I've heard people who know about this stuff say that wu's models are expensive or something like that. I saw one tweet where she said she was using 4k textures. She might have been joking.

realtime that might be a lot (to say most of her shit is flat colours no real detail) but pre-rendered that's not a big deal at all, rendering the things that hit you are lighting and advanced materials. Just flat textures and basic/no shading like she uses barely cause an impact.

The reason no pre-rendered game graphics look like her shit it because you could create that so fast you wouldn't be doing your job properly if you did.

No stupid Unity player, though.

Pissed me off to no end to discover I actually can't just launch the game from Steam and had to install Ubisoft's stupid wannabe Steam program to play it. And the Unity player has achievements while Steam doesn't and that just annoys me.

Well, true, but we are talking about an idiot who is smug about using 4K textures of simple stuff and thinks it's genius.

My guess is that the burnout comes from the character models, which I assume are MUCH higher poly than everything else (partially to make up for the fact the rest of the game is so flat looking), and since are either poorly optimized or tossing aside even some of the polys makes them look even shittier than they do at present, that could result in turning a processor into a fireball, especially if each frame being rendered requires a ton of math in the background to process.

As @Jaimas said, Wu know sod all about optimization, and I'm guess Wu made the same mistake as a bunch of Elder Scrolls modders who go crazy with the higher polys do: they get so caught up in the nicer quality and play it on a machine that can handle it, do shoddy performance tests, call it perfect, then people on shittier hardware watch their iOS game die since they can't render everything as well.

I don't really have a problem with Brianna the way some people do. There's quite a few things we probably agree on even if I do think she spends way too much time devoted to twitter/social media drama. That being said...all I want is Revolution 60 to FINALLY be on PC or Android. I think it looks cool but my goodness does it really take almost 3+ years to make a PC port? Its pretty inexcusable.

I know the game's Facebook said last week that it is almost ready to launch on Steam but still that is a heck of a long time for people who did the Kickstarter in 2013 to wait.

They're super easy to replace and that's basically it. I don't like how little they make either the teams can at least pay them decent. I did the math and they work 160 hours a season including practice unless they make playoffs. So in this case the wage would be $20/hr. They also get free tanning, free gym, and probably some other stuff. They also can make money doing appearances. Still they probably could make more money at hooters and the NFL makes enough money... even just off selling crap with their pictures to justify paying them more given that it's going to interfere with having a real job.

ROFL.. it's not even that bad. It's fair that millions of people are startled by booms daily because you're bored and uncomfortable today? Bri had an economy seat and 50 dollars was too much for wifi so she wouldn't be up for paying the extra fuel to spare some discomfort anyhow.

Sure enough she is going back out there to SFO next weekend for "gamesbeat" I wonder why she couldn't stay out there? Depending on what's happening hotels can be outrageous in SF they tried to charge me $700 for a travellodge once. You'd think she would have friends in SFO to stay with so I wonder if there was something pressing for her to do back east this week?

Bristorians....any ideas?

You know why the Concorde doesn't exist any more?

It couldn't turn a profit. There just wasn't enough of a market for the vastly more expensive option of supersonic transport.
 
No, John, you compulsive liar, you did not take that flight yesterday, nor are you taking that flight next week.

Yesterday, you flew the opposite direction, and went SFO->DTW, then DTW->BOS.

Next week, you are going BOS->SFO, perhaps with a layover.

Your need to make everything about you is weak.

And poor you. Taking 3-hour air segments and traveling 3,000 miles in half a day in safe, climate-controlled comfort. Truly great "suffering".

I don't have a problem with her. I just love to mock the ever-loving hell out of her.

It didn't even catch on with the private jet crowd, which is fucking hilarious.

It *is* cutting. Wu is a god-damned idiot.

Look at the cuts. Really look at them and indulge your inner CSI. What story are they telling?

You've got the two deepest ones, exactly parallel to each other and perpendicular to the arm. Those were probably the first. Next were the two diagonal ones. They're also parallel to each other, but the distance between them is greater. This is because she was using the first two cuts as reference points, notice how they intersect perfectly at the top and bottom.

The ones below those are fainter, probably running out of steam at this point. They're mostly parallel and still two of them since people really like to indulge the desire for symmetry. Notice that she had to double cut the lower one to make it long enough, while the upper was polite enough to stop short before it crossed over the previously made cut - considerate car!

The ones on the bicep were added a bit later to make things a bit more random looking; but it also means she would have had to have slid in *five* directions after impact.

All the wounds show the blood "dotting" effect of a sharp instrument pressed just deep enough to draw blood. All the wounds are on the *inside* of the arm. And someone tell me is even Wu too dim to notice the previously inflicted and now healing injuries on the forearm? How many cars is this woman jumping in front of?

Soooo... there was a brief period in my life when I was engaging in fantastic self-destructive sex with a fantastically self-destructive girl. I claim expert testimony.

I read the original tweet and she seems to suggest that the marks were caused by the dog, not the car. I'm still suspicious though because they look too clean to be dog claw marks.
