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

sikotik said:
I'm not an engineer, nor do I play one on Twitter, but engineers and lay people do have opinion on it. Not about the laws governing the science, but the designs and implementations of product. There's almost always more than one way to do something and the opinions would revolve around the most practical, efficient and cost effective solution. John doesn't care about any of that, just what color options it has and how expensive and trendy something is.

I think we're not talking about the same thing. Implementation, to me, involves things like cost of production and the aesthetics of the product. I read Flynt/Wu's tweet as stating that people who aren't engineers have stupid opinions about the actual math and science. Of course, I am attempting to make sense of a tweet by Flynt/Wu, so I could be off course by up to 180 degrees.

Moving on to another topic, this has probably been posted before in the previous thread, but it's new to me.

A List of Domain Names Registered to Flynt/Wu.

I was especially amused to see that he is the proud owner of miatheengineer.com, which is -- quite appropriately -- inactive.

And why does he control pokerapper.com?

EDIT: To fix misspelling of miatheengineer, which blunder was pointed out -- thank you -- by @Shugo.

Look closer, Wu owns "miatheengineer.com"

Pokerapper.com redirects to a twitter user by the name of "Maddy Myers."

Damn it. I knew I should have cut and pasted miatheengineer.

Yeah, I went to all the sites -- almost all dormant -- and saw that Pokerapper redirects to Maddy Myers, who is one of Flynt/Wu's creatures. But why does Flynt/Wu have control of it in the first place? It just struck me as odd.

That's apparently the protagonist of "Cupcake Crisis". Because, you know, that game is totally going to happen.

My favorite one on that list is definitely "revolution63.com". There aren't enough :optimistic:s in existence for that one :lol:

Aging white man John Flynt attempts to reassert his relevance by bragging about vidya. Again.

You know what's a hilarious one as far as Wu's game choices to me? Wu's purportedly a fan of Dissidia, the Final Fantasy fighting game. This is actually a sign of good taste; Dissidia is fucking awesome and its prequel, Duodecim, even more so.

In fact, her Steam avatar right now, years later, remains Cloud of Darkness.

There is no way on god's green earth she got anywhere of note in it, however. It is mercilessly, soul-rapingly hard and unless she was extensively using RPG mode to compensate (in which case good fucking luck) Wu simply does not have the skills to git sufficiently gud.

Expect a tons of sperging if the arcade game is released on consoles

Oh, fuck off, you lying sack of aftermarket estrogen. Dragging people behind a car has never been a common way to commit murder in any place for any reason. There was Robert Byrd and, ummm...a smattering of probably non-racial maybe-accidents you never heard of.

Oh FFS, John - "dragging" someone came from gay black "ball culture" (which is where voguing also came from).

Now this fucker is trying to declare a term coined by gay black people (two groups that got heavily lynched, btw) as racist. Stop trying to appropriate gay black culture, you straight white person!

One day I hope to see Wu get tricked into having to teach a class. I don't mean the usual "peach tree archy" lectures, I mean get in front of a class and teach them how to progream.

Interestingly enough, Wu did once post a line of psuedocode when she was trying to mock somebody, but as you would guess all the actually competent programmers saw this and proceeded to laugh at her for making up something so shitty. Since that incident, Wu has yet to ever attempt to show off his programming skills again.

It's certainly not like "they sure dragged him through the mud" was a common phrase to refer to shit-talking until the millennials shortened it to just "drag" or anything like that.

I've never even heard "Drag him" at all. What does it actually mean?

If it's the useage I'm thinking of, "dragging someone" is more or less the new way of saying "dissing someone."
