Brianna, there's a bit of a difference between "standing up to bullies" and "using backchannels to get my way."

In fact, that kind of makes... you the bully, donnit?
 
Call me obsessed, but a single point resounds in my mind whenever John starts banging the game designer drum: Toby Fox had himself, an artist, a copy of Gamemaker and a can of coke, and whether you like Undertale or not, Undertale can be called a game without your gag reflex going off. Brianna had a WHOLE GODDAMN STUDIO of competant developers, voice actors (who doubled as writers), Unreal Engine, and all the Soylent she could choke down, and still manages to fuck up to the point that Rev60 is listed on TvTropes's Game Breaking Bug page (and likely has no other listings, nor does it have a main page of its own).

Every day, their are devs doing more with less while Bri continues to do nothing with more. In a way, i pity her. No one i know has reached that level of failure. Even the most dismal of failures have something in there that say the creator put their heart into it. Not Rev60. Not anything Wu does. There's no spark, no soul, every thing she does is just dead air.

Has John never mentioned Rev 60 again as of September? Does no one troll him with demands for the patch?

Looks like it does have a TV Tropes page, though.

Look, rate me optimistic if you will, but I think politics is probably the best possible avenue for Wu, and I understand certain users have a vendetta against her because she made a shitty game, may have let a dog die due to neglect, tanked her own animation studio back when she was a man named John Flynt using his adopted parent's money($200,000.00), lied to one or more men about her biological sex before sleeping with them, said she was going to write a hit piece on Milo and never delivered, false flagged an attack against herself, and never did a Q&A on her own lolcow thread, by all accounts is a nightmare to work with, fired all the women in her studio, and looks horrifying in an Ada Wong costume, but I think we should support her in this endeavor.

Sure, she lacks the patience to understand that it might take decades for her as a senator to make a small impact and she will probably spend all her donations on micro transactions, but who are she to stomp on this brave woman's dreams?

I stand with Wu*






*Though I stand with Wu I will not be voting for her because I dont Live in her district. And I work 50 hours a week and have my own side business so I really don't have time to effectively volunteer. I would try to signal boost Wu as well but but she is extremely off brand for the social media vibe I try to push out there.

I have no sympathy for anyone who fucked that giant and thought it was a woman.
 
Trying to be civil with someone while simultaneously publicly trashing them on Twitter is a REALLY bad habit for a politician to have. If she were to do that with one of her colleagues or even worse, a foreign nation or just general area of interest it could land her in some very deep shit.

Not that I believe Wu is going to make it in politics mind you, I'm just citing this as a reason why she'd make an exceptionally terrible politician.

Why does this sound familiar?

And why am I now simultaneously Googling awful hairpieces?

John, it's two words. Just say it. You'll feel better.

I seem to remember some people unpersoning John for having coffee with Brad Wardell, because of crass humor at the workplace.
I also can't help but notice that John doesn't seem to be that concerned by the enablers of Bill Kristol, who whispers into some powerful ears things that result in a lot of dead people.

That said, if past boycotts are a predictor of future behavior, then Wu will be buying a lot of S&S books in 2017.

"As someone who expects to be targeted in Milo's book."

If he does mention Flynt, it'll be to call him an attention whore who spent more time inventing a paranoid fantasy fiction about GamerGate than he did actually working on the game he claimed they were targeting him for.
