Brianna Wu / John Walker Flynt - "Biggest Victim of Gamergate," Failed Game Developer, Failed Congressional Candidate

[Jaimas]

I'd like to take a moment to appreciate the reason we even got this train-wreck on Steam, and it had nothing to do with Brianna Wu.

The Backer Revolt was a serious threat. Not to Brianna Wu herself, she didn't give a damn - but to Frank Wu, who basically did anything of relevance or note with getting the game out. Brianna was intent on leaving the thing to rot and ignoring the backers for a little bit longer, but the blow to Frank's reputation, as part of Giant Spacekat, would have been shot to hell if GSX hadn't delivered. Frank's the one who greases the wheels, sets up Brianna's play-dates with the press, and basically makes shit happen. He even was the one who got the KS backer codes out.

Frank knows that Revolution 60 looks like shit on a typewriter, but he also knew that it looked infinitely better than being subjected to an ongoing campaign that makes you out to be a fucking scam artist. This is the reason this game even came out for us all to mock and enjoy - Frank basically forced Brianna's hand.

If anyone's interested, I've compiled the Election Eve chapters and converted the manuscript into PDF format. Formatting might be a bit wonky though.

Been months and it's still one of the worst things I've ever read.

Wu shares her favorite Voyager episodes.

I only watched the show causally, can anyone explain what happens in these episodes?

Oh hey, Movie Brat. He's a bit of a personal lolcow.

But in those episodes, Timeless is the one where FUTURE! Kim and Chakotay are trying to prevent an accident where Voyager crashed into an ice planet. Course Oblivion is the one where the crew find they're not real. and Year Of Hell is the one where Voyager is fighting against a race that are using temporal weapons.

Kind of sensing a theme here...

Frank's been at it again today, shitposting this time. Over the the last few days I think he's proven he knows how to roll with shit and interact with others on twitter 1000 times better than Wu ever could, no wonder Wu wanted to water balloon him today.

Think there's any chance we can get Jan Rankowski to strap on the shades and do one last Jace live stream. It'd feel damn fitting.

I don't give a shit about Jan, I just want PtothePark back for one last ride.

that's what I meant, he thinks that Jace isn't funny anymore

Fuck him. Bring back Jace.

A "journalist" is supposed to write about news for the benefit of the public, not throw a troon rage about his own personal enemies while trying to prejudice court cases.

Everything Wu does is at it's core about herself. Granted, you can argue that this is true about anything anybody does, but if that is true, it is screamingly obvious in the things Brianna does.

Brianna simply won't write a single article that isn't about her - or in other words the only thing she is capable of are opinion pieces that will try to further her narrative. Combine that with the fact that she is quite good at pissing off everyone and that her articles only seem to find their way onto sites by her or Frank back-channeling the hell out of it, you can see the point coming when no one will allow her to post her bullshit online.

On top of that, Brianna couldn't write an interesting line of text even if her life depended on it.

We actually have John's original Word document with all the illustrations inlined at the proper places. I attached it.

Yeah, I'm sure this digital vomit would look amazing on a 4k monitor.

and she replied "the one who looked like a tranny mule?" and I said "yes that's the one, please take care of baby, I'm so excited to do this" and I ran back downstairs to start streaming

I wish I could "cash in" on my videos, but I'm incredibly unpopular so, at most, maybe I'll earn a cool $5 for the video. I'm not like the rich fellers who pull in big buck$$$ by making 19 Minecraft videos a day.

Seeing how dick sucking that review is I'd say that's either one of Wu's friends or Wu herself.

You could tell some dotish feminist wrote that, because those graphics are fucking horrible, and the character models are rather nightmarish to look at. Those graphics look like they were rendered on a Playstation 1.

Also, 'top-notch voice acting and compelling characters'?

AHAHAHAHAHAHA

They'll compel you to suicide.

All three are terrible episodes (even by Voyager standards) that can be skipped since the events that happen are rendered moot by the end. Year of Hell and Timeless are both time travel stories that focus on timelines that are erased at the end of the episodes. Course Oblivion is a sequel to an earlier episode that features a doppelgänger crew and ship made from space goo. Because they went too far from their planet, the space goo are dying and are trying to find Voyager before they all die. In the end they dissolve into space goo just before finding the real Voyager, which avoids the space goo as though it were a space puddle.

Year of Hell is probably the least sucky on that list. Mostly because of Annorax's obsession. Basically dude goes about removing civilizations from time and space and then keeps trophies like the demented serial killer he is. All because he's obsessed with his wife and home planet.

Bare in mind, too; Annorax thinks he's doing the "right thing" even though he's fucking with all of history and wiping entire cultures off of the map and is by any sane person's definition an outright monster.

Ya know, like "professional" Minuette or Rogue Shepard.

A "journalist" is supposed to write about news for the benefit of the public, not throw a troon rage about his own personal enemies while trying to prejudice court cases.

Wu might make an amusing pet columnist for some shit-tier news org. Good columnists will have something to say behind their vitriol but others like the UK's own Katie Hopkins proves you can write any old outrageous bollocks and get paid for it.

I'd like to take a moment to appreciate the reason we even got this train-wreck on Steam, and it had nothing to do with Brianna Wu.

The Backer Revolt was a serious threat. Not to Brianna Wu herself, she didn't give a damn - but to Frank Wu, who basically did anything of relevance or note with getting the game out. Brianna was intent on leaving the thing to rot and ignoring the backers for a little bit longer, but the blow to Frank's reputation, as part of Giant Spacekat, would have been shot to hell if GSX hadn't delivered. Frank's the one who greases the wheels, sets up Brianna's play-dates with the press, and basically makes shit happen. He even was the one who got the KS backer codes out.

Frank knows that Revolution 60 looks like shit on a typewriter, but he also knew that it looked infinitely better than being subjected to an ongoing campaign that makes you out to be a fucking scam artist. This is the reason this game even came out for us all to mock and enjoy - Frank basically forced Brianna's hand.

Considering so far everyone just had the game and nothing else from the promise pile on Kickstarter the backers can still call Frank a scam artist.

Which'd be hilarious to see next time he goes to the Hugos with his schlock-tier sci-fi writing.
