Brianna Wu / John Flynt - DEAGLE NATION STILL LIVES

[ln18]

More flaunting of wealth, https://archive.is/fHdDy
"That is true that many people do not have expendable income.

I guess, from my point of view - I'm developing my first iPhone game and it's expensive. I think I spent $2000 last month on my art team. It's an investment I am making, but will it generate a dime? Who knows, it's a risk. Viva la capitalism.

When I look at Infinity Blade, I see an expertly produced game. Granted, they are faking most of the detail with normal maps, and the weapons look like geometric blanket deformations per character, but it's a lot of texture work. The character models were also expertly done. As far as the programing, the combat system is really well thought out, whoever made it really understands the swiping API.

Is the work that Chair did worth your $6? Hell yes. For that matter, Chair's Shadow Complex was also an excellent value. If you believe in supporting the market, and I do - this is an astonishing game worth several times the asking price.

Brianna has terrible values, https://archive.is/moozH
"I also doubt their methodology, but not their outcome. Apple gear, in general, is a status symbol and that is appealing. Also, it's expensive.

I really don't think you can discount the grooming component. Jenny and X-girl can back me up here, but a guy that doesn't bother to clean up is undatable. Absolutely undatable. I think guys with enough money to buy Apple stuff are more likely to get this simple truth. So, it's not so much the Apple gear, but the attitudes around the Apple gear.

"Here's a graphical representation of my point.
This guy is a typical iPhone user. Note the Livestrong bracelet. He's totally cute! The kind of guy you'd want to take home to your parent's bedroom wall.
This is your typical non iPhone user. Not exactly dressed for success.

"^^ +1

Yeah, the Ominous blustering just stank up the whole thread.

Also? Daria is, at its core, a show about what the high school experience is like for girls - and popularity is a central theme. If there's anything I've learned from interacting with you, it's that you are oblivious to the fact that other people have different perspectives.

BECAUSE IF THERES ONE THING BRIANNA HAS FIRST PERSON EXPERIENCE OF ITS BEING A GIRL IN HIGH SCHOOL

 

[Sarcastic Username]

Here's a heartwarming story about Brianna. When I first got interested in Photoshop, it was because I wanted to learn to make fake IDs to go clubbing. I found a blockbuster that was going out of business and bought their lamination machine. I bought a $1500 printer. I made a LOT of money my freshman year of college. This is not far from the golden age of Napster, which I heartily participated in.

Most serious athlete on IGN forums vs pizza and fatties, https://archive.is/E3ArE
"Feel free to disagree, Jackrabbit - but fitness and nutrition is something I know a lot about. I'm a pretty serious athlete, probably one of the most serious on this board, and I used to struggle with weight. It seems to me that arguing for the nutritional value of pizza is a pretty big stretch.

Brianna encourages the women to be better women, https://archive.is/AAdkw
"I will say that women's magazines are useful tools. How else are you supposed to know what's in for that season? I'm about to buy some of the long leather gloves today that seem to be popping up all over the place. "
"That attitude must really be a time saver in your marriage! Imagine how much more often I could get my way by simply refusing to consider another person's point of view! Thanks for the share! "

Wow, Great work. It's interesting to see some of the Wu trademarks at work here:

1) Talking down to people, assuming a position of authority (know-it-all) in every subject, whether tech, reporting, nutrition, etc....always through a brag of unspecified credentials (..."as a reporter"...."more serious athlete", etc)

2) Ending post with her little bitch-heart (<3) when she's extra tweaked off

3) Generally pissing off everyone else in the thread with her entitled, superior attitude

Very little has changed. Even if we didn't have everything else, you could almost recognize Wu just by the way she writes.

 

[Jaimas]

The nerve of the bitch. I had to blackmarket cigarettes in high school for my petty cash.

Oh wait, filthy proletariat. Right.

Brianna Wu shit-talking better, more successful games at a point where it's looking like she just started working on concept stuff for her own is hilarious and dumb.

MY HIGH SCHOOL BOYFRIEND! https://archive.is/PAUS7
That is so cool. My high school boyfriend knew how to pick locks, and used that skill so we could get drunk at a construction site our clic called "The Pit." We'd get liquored up out of our minds and drive the heavy machinery. Looking back, it was really, really stupid - especially that time Joseph fell in the bonfire.

 

[Sarcastic Username]

Frank is almost the same age as my dad, haha! It happens to us all the time. He watched "Daria" with me last night, and said it was nothing like his high school experience.

You've got your class disdain as Mac enthusiasm
"This is a visual illustration of what being a Mac user is like.
Taco Supremes for Brianna tonight, bitches. Go on with your poor self to the McDonald's dollar menu, bro.

But then some really odd surgery stuff
"Did you know that when you get a nose job, they give you cocaine? It's true, it shrinks the blood capillaries so there is less scarring and they can remove more tissue. Maybe the Mac GB should go get nosejobs so they can get more of the Vitamin C they so dearly love. "

The best thing on that one is Bray saying

From now on, I only refer to X-girl as "bro." Or Dudebro, Jersey Shore style.

Knowing what we know now, that's hilarious.

Speaking of Sub Chapter 7 of Election Eve, what in the actual fuck is this?

Spoiler: I don't even

She felt a tug at her left hand, Allison looked down and saw that a little seven year old boy was tugging on her hand.

“What’s shaking sweetie?” asked Allison.

“My name is Lindsey, what’s your name?” asked the wide eyed boy.

“I’m Allison Holiday, but you can call me ‘Allison the Phenomenon’ if you’d like,” she said making a sweeping motion with her hand. The kid did not understand, however, mouthing the words phenomi-what?”

“You’re a girl,” noted the child.

“As if any boys don’t notice! If you know what I mean, Lindsey. I’ve seen a little action, heh, heh, heh.” laughed Allison. This conversation was getting boring, noted Allison, how to get out of it without seeming rude?

“I don’t like girls,” this got Allison’s attention.

“Really, why is that, Lindsey?” asked Allison taking notice.

“Girls are weird. And they have cooties,” said Linsdey, scrunching his face. “Thhhpppppbbb!!!” went Lindsey.

“Lindsey, can I tell you a secret?” asked Allison.

“I love sharing secrets!” exclaimed Lindsey. “Sharing secrets makes friends!”

“Well, little Lindsey, do you like candy?” asked Allison. This excited Lindsey very much, “I love candy!” he exclaimed.

“What’s your favorite kind of candy?” asked Allison. Lindsey thought for a second, “I like Skittles the best! No, Starbursts! Yes, I like Starbursts the best,” he decided.

“Well Lindsey, let me pass along a little information.” started Allison, getting right in Lindsey’s face, lowering her voice into a menacing growl. “You might be all high and mighty right now with your male chauvinist ‘girls have cooties’ propaganda. You might try to subjugate us and spread your lies! But one day, about five years from now? I promise you. Girls are going to have a kind of candy you will want a million times more than Skittles and Starbursts. And we are going to deny you that candy. And you are going to spend more time thinking about getting our candy that you can possibly imagine! And there is nothing you can do about it! Hah! Boys suck, girls rule! You have no chance to survive, make your time!”

Lindsey just looked all wide-eyed at this revelation, for a moment. Time seemed to stand still. A more noted observer than Allison might have noticed the dream dying in young Lindsey’s eyes as he screamed “Ahhhhhhhhhhhahahahahaaaaaaaaaah!” and ran off for his stuffed animal and his cubbyhole.

Is this supposed to be sarcastic and/or funny?

"A Serious Discussion about Sex and Character Design": https://archive.is/fxjUG

I think there's so much to feminism that's totally removed from reality, even to me as a pretty liberal woman. I had to take a class in political feminism to finally graduate last semester - and I swear. My professor was very nice and well meaning, but I just don't think she had a particularly firm grip on the world beyond her PhD.

Goddamn I am only going to get through this shit if there's some kind of dramatization because Wu's prose is so goddamn smug.

 

[Kosher Dill]

Most serious athlete on IGN forums

Can we get a list of everything Wu has claimed to be the best at?
Best athlete (above)
World's best at Unreal Engine (at a conference)
Owns best Mac (many times)
Seinfeld-level comedian (Election Eve promo materials)
Best app developer (GOTY award from a shill)
I'm sure there's more.

"That attitude must really be a time saver in your marriage! Imagine how much more often I could get my way by simply refusing to consider another person's point of view! Thanks for the share! "

Based on Wu's behaviour, I'm inclined to believe this wasn't sarcasm and she genuinely meant this.

Wu: Who knows, it's a risk. Viva la capitalism.

Wu is pretty enthusiastic about capitalism for someone who does nothing but lose other people's money.

How can someone so experienced in lying be so terrible at creating fiction?

 

[Von Clausewitz]

How can someone so experienced in lying be so terrible at creating fiction?

Just because you are a pathological liar, doesn't mean that you are a good liar.

 

[AnOminous]

Just because you are a pathological liar, doesn't mean that you are a good liar.

Pathological liars are often terrible liars. Any skill they have at lying from long experience is overridden by the compulsive need to lie even when it doesn't make sense.

The ability to generate lies fluently is convincing to people who have no reason to expect lies, or who actually want to believe the lies, so this may be good for new contacts, but anyone with long experience with the liar already knows not to trust anything they say.

The pathological liar, like Wu, is addicted to the rush of pulling off a lie and manipulating someone. This is why Wu boasts of deceiving men by having sex with them without telling them he's a tranny. Of course, this itself is a transparent lie (Wu wouldn't fool a blind drunk man), but the compelling motivation of gleefully tricking someone is evident in this lie.

 

[Optimus Prime]

It's like Tyler Durden, Buffalo Bill, and Chris had a three way and Brianna Wu was born from the aftermath.

​

And there were three sexes then
One that looked like two men
Glued up back to back
Called the children of the sun
And similar in shape and girth
Were the children of the earth
They looked like two girls
Rolled up in one
And the children of the moon
Were like a fork shoved on a spoon
They were part sun, part earth
Part daughter, part son
The origin of love

(Hedwig And The Angry Inch - Origin Of Love Lyrics)​
