Brianna Wu / John Flynt - DEAGLE NATION STILL LIVES

[BriannaWoo]

I'm probably late with this but I've never seen this picture of Wu before. It truly is a master piece, from the faux-1000 yard stare to the forlorn Christmas garland that has wilted from the banister in despair.

Dem feels.

Wonderful job @verifried, but it needs more snarl:

"What the hell are you?"

 

[Quasar]

Looks like a Wierd Al album cover

 

[Jaimas]

I'm honestly surprised the list wasn't entirely composed of hot takes. I was expecting something more like:

Zelda II
Sonic 2006
Parasite Eve 3rd Birthday
Bubsy 3D
Superman 64
Deadly Towers
Revolution 60

Brianna Wu declared Third Birthday to be the best game in the series. Just so we're clear.

I may be the only person in the world who owns this book. It's 200 pages of cheap print-on-demand crap at an outrageous price, so I guess I'll share the love with all ya'll. Forgive the potato quality.

First we have to have Wu's fictional biography of course:

Spoiler

"Working in games is the advanced mode of being a woman in tech." How the hell would you know? You sit around your house all day and maybe poke final cut pro occasionally.

Spoiler

Yeah, Wu. People get defensive very quickly with you because you're abrasive as fuck. Who would want to talk to you for more than five minutes?

Spoiler

Wu is so full of anecdotes about all her "friends", but if you look at her twitter she basically doesn't have anyone she regularly talks to, perhaps that one dude she does a podcast with who has been patting her ass for about a decade.

Spoiler

"a lot of resumes." HAHAHA. HAHAHA.

Spoiler

It must be tough being Wu. Everyone mansplains to her.

Spoiler

"You have to have girlfriends" - John Flynt, 1997.
"There will be drama" - Brianna Wu, 2016.

Spoiler

The audience is thirsty for games only you can make! Like this one I made that is a terrible rip off of other games that I like.

Spoiler

It's not as much fun as the other book, because Wu finally figured out that these things aren't supposed to be hagiography. It still shows Wu way out of her depth though, giving advice to other people who actually have careers.

 

[selere]

Surprised that Wu doesn't consider Final Fantasy Tactics an evil misogynistic game, since the hero is an young man and the main antagonist/villain is female.

Of course the articles she cites are from The Guardian and Variety.

Also, that definition of "mansplaining" is definitely not the one her, or most of the people who use that term, understand it to mean. To them it's: men who offer constructive criticism/say things I don't like to hear/make me look like an idiot.

 

[Francis York Morgan]

I like how whatever profession Brianna is a part of is the best, most advanced, and most important part of an industry. Not the women working on medical technology or programmers for NASA. Being an indie game developer is the "advanced mode" for working in technology.

 

[Sable]

Surprised that Wu doesn't consider Final Fantasy Tactics an evil misogynistic game, since the hero is an young man and the main antagonist/villain is female.

Probably paying too much attention to Agrias or something.

Besides, the overwhelming majority of enemies are men- better yet, evil men who serve an evil CONSERVATIVE church.

Going in the Wiki when I get home.

I love that she took time out of her book to call out "Captain N" as shitlord entertainment

So Nerf toys and male action figures on desks are what you find where men work, right?

 

[Absolutego]

That last picture...DUST YOUR GODDAMN SHELVES.

The walls of anime figurines is :autism: enough without them being covered in a layer of filth.

 

[Internet War Criminal]

He even prefers the shittiest of the Mass Effect games, ME2 having worse game play than ME3 overall and even ME1 in some ways, and its story as part of the trilogy is a perfect example of "second act problems. " But it had much better graphics than ME1 and lots of lens flare and scantily clad women, so of course it is his favorite.

Are you on crack? That's the one thing he's right about (and until recently he used to say ME3 was the best when it's fucking terrible)

She's using the last of her strength in watching her dog freeze to death.

I would rather watch every episode of Captain N on a loop 13 times than play Revolution 60 once.

It should also be noted that Princess Lana was among the more competent characters on that show, in contrast to the cowardly Simon Belmont and bumbling Kid Icarus and Megaman. She along with Prenicess Zelda of Legend of Zelda cartoon and to a lesser extent Princess Toadstool of the Super Mario Bros. Super Show and its spinoffs were among the more action oriented female cartoon characters of that era.

Congratulations, you're in luck.

It must have taken Wu some god-like levels of restraint to not produce 200 pages of her sperging about "GAMERGATE!" and "I'M THE MOST HARASSED WOMAN IN TECH!!11!!!!11111!!!!"

They had Leigh Alexander and Anita Sarkeesian for that. Apparently there weren't enough actual women actually in games to fill out 200 pages of large type.
