2. Between the boots and jacket it's no wonder TSA harasses her. Unfortunately for Wu it's not because they are biased jerks, but rather people annoyed she is making their job more of a pain in the ass than normal.

Wu moves unnaturally and jerkily and I think it looks paranoid, like someone doing something wrong. Just gives off crazy vibes.

Now there's a face only a Hugo Awarding winning Asian man with a possible history of domestic violence could love. From behind. With the help of alcohol and medication.

What are the odds we never hear about this pretty serious injury again? Brianna will forget she said anything about it and will be seen walking around comfortably until someone reminds her and she puts on a little limp.
2 inches would puncture straight through my foot unless it came in from the front which is arguably waaaay more painful. Like a trip to the hospital and on crutches for a few days kind of pain.

Maybe Wu was too off it on Ambian to feel the pain or somehow confused 2 inches with 2 millimetres, assuming she knows what those are.
 
My internets are still kinda fluky, , but I've Tweetsaved as much as possible, check the archives in case Wu burned stuff.

Also, I call total shit on that tweezer story. I had a similar puncture from a piece of wood as a kid, and it required me getting laid up in a hospital while the wood fragment was massaged to the surface and then pulled out.

My foot still hurt like hell even after it was removed, and given it almost went through my entire foot, walking was total hell for several weeks until the pain died down.

Dunno, just wanted to share.

Here's another instance where Wu has tricked someone into printing that she used to be a journalist, at least it doesn't say: "investigative journalist" as she's said before.

I mean, this is total BS right? Just another rung on the Wu BS ladder? It pisses me off how casually she tosses this shit out, and how readily its believed.

Also: This is impossible, i'm sure, but wouldn't it be amazing if we could get the pic of what I'm calling "Wu face" to be the first google result for our friend John? There's no way to game google results, right?

And now, I'm going to sperg a bit about something a few pages back.



Wu, you god-damned idiot. Video games *have* empathy.

Back when you played Actraiser on the SNES, during the God-Sim, when some petitioners come to your temple and beg you to send the rain, because a dying man wants to feel it on his face before he goes, how did that make you feel?

When you played Final Fantasy IV, at the edge of being wiped out, when Rydia comes back to save your ass, how did that make you feel?

When you played Ico, after the whole game of you pulling up Yorda by the hand, when you miss a long jump, she catches you. And then she's taken away. How did that make you feel?

When you played Silent Hill 2, and you watched Angela begin the long walk up the firery stairway, and neither you - the player, or James Sunderland - the character, can do anything to save someone that really wants to die. When the thought occurred to you that life wasn't fair and that some people never even had a chance, how did that make you feel?

When you played Portal, and the game manipulated you into first protecting, and then destroying, a box with a heart on the side, how did that make you feel?

When you played Dark Souls and realized that the big bad wasn't the final boss, but entropy, that the whole world is irreparably fucked, how did that make you feel?


These are all moot, of course. You probably didn't play these games. But "VR" will bring empathy and help games tell better stories. The Microsoft Kinect can't cope with a slight accent and you're going to invent something that can recognize tone and inflection.

I'm going to burn through my entire allotment of sighs way too early in the week.

Let's not forget:

This entire scene hit me so hard, I had to stop playing the game for a few days.

There's even a scene in the problematic tit sniper game Metal Gear Solid V that has more feeling than anything Wu will ever put in her games.

"problematic tit sniper game" .....That's gold.

Not everyone struggles not to insert their size 13, shaved leg, imaginary tweezer-stabbed foot into their mouth, Wu.

Seriously, who doesn't feel, outside of possibly alcoholics, that a little social lubricant helps break the ice? I'm not even a big drinker, and I have to get beyond shitty to do something I regret. Actually, it's been my experience that people who flip out totally while under the influence of alcohol are the ones you want to watch out for, because they have so much repressed in daily life.

Most people, a little quicker to laugh, maybe a bit quicker to speak to strangers, maybe more touchy-feely. But if you Jekyll / Hyde after a couple drinks....you've got problems.

EDIT! I figured it out! Those were obviously Natalie O'Brien's tweezers, that Wu borrowed! Sure, Michael McDoesntexist made her get them to pick the ghost fleas off of Derpy, the Four-Toed Feline. Now it all makes sense!

Ewww. Ghost flea blood. Wu's gonna need a FakeTetanus shot, maybe a BullShitRabies Vaccine.

Yeah, seriously.
TSA Screener's Exam: Mark every part of this scenario that is suspicious.
A traveller presents ID with a female, Asian name though they are not evidently either. Their behavior is confrontational and they take offense at standard questions. Body language is unusual; facial expressions tend to lag or lead verbal expression by about half a second. The traveller seems unable to sit still, even in the body scanner. The scanner reports a strange "Outside of typical parameters" error that's not covered in your employee manual. Meanwhile, the traveller's bag has been flagged by the x-ray screener; it is practically a miniature chemistry lab. It contains inhuman quantities of instant coffee, a few pounds of Soylent that's setting off the Geiger counter, and several vials of black-market injectable estrogen suspension. The traveller cannot provide a prescription for the estrogen. As you conduct your duties,
the traveller is looking around frantically in all directions. What do you do?
 
Wu doesn't actually know shit about VR or "using emotion in games". She's just saying what she thinks makes her sound smart and experienced.
 

Trust a guy in laughably bad girlface repeatedly claiming to be keynoting at a premier women-in-computing event who isn't actually keynoting?

I think we'll all pass on that trust, John.

How's your "impaled foot", buddy? You seem to have made a miraculous "recovery".

* Also "career".

Judging from the two public appearances I have seen, that is a pretty low bar she set herself there.
I am not even boasting here, when I say that I would performed at better that VR panel, without any preparation and only giving minimal fucks.
