Brianna Wu / John Flynt - Original Thread

[Count groudon]

Why is she always such a dick to Frank? Like she laughed about the idea of Frank being the one to make Rev 60 instead of her (even though she didnt make it either), and after he beat her ass at mario party she made a brief post saying he won, then started whining about how unfair the mechanics of the game are and how he basically won with dumb luck. I mean she's always trying to make herself seem superior, but he's the only one of the two who has genuine talent since he can draw some pretty impressive works of art, while his darling wifey made a barely functional game with characters that look a horrible cloning experiment gone wrong.

Because she's a dick to everyone.

And that's because she's a fucking bitch.

That's because Brianna is a tranny woman while Frank is a dirty dang male. In SJW logic, that means that Brianna being a dick to Frank is "punching up" so it's not only acceptable but it is even encouraged and "empowering". Ofcourse if it went the other way, at least publicly, then it would be soggy knees because Frank is part of the privileged oppressors.

And Frank is probably a bit of a doormat - I mean come on who would be with Brianna without being a doormat? We do have some evidence pointing towards that: She wasted his money yet he is fine with it and there is also a video (where she kicked that internet blogger guy from a panel) where Frank follows her like a dog with a very anxious expression on his face.

It looks like the guy who made it built a similar device for playing tetris and his youtube of the thing went viral with people who just couldn't believe that someone could actually make a computing device on their own or something, it sounds like it might have been as simple as plugging a screen and a dpad into an arduino in this case. It was the reaction of these people that must have encouraged him to go ahead, it looks like he showed it to lots of people before making the kickstarter for what was probably intended to be a modest run of these things and then he managed to get 10x as much.

My prediction is that he recovers his costs and then builds a single shipment of these devices which barely sell and then he ends up donating a lot of the hardware and money to educational entities. The dude seems cool and is probably as dumbfounded by hipster false nostalgia as we are but he was wise enough not to let the opportunity pass him by.

I have to wonder if wu saw the success of this thing and figured she might try and tweak the recipe and make her own because she doesn't understand why it's stupid and only sees that it's gotten funded.

We're not the only ones who think this is dumb. Why is it there is a new stupid kickstarter gadget every week. I remember a few months ago someone was selling a tor appliance that could have been replaced by a vbox or custom wrt firmware. Also it was stupid because there would be no way good to keep your tor software up to date.


It seems like I can deconverge any electronic convergence device and I'll be hailed as a genius on kickstarter...

More dumb

This didn't turn out too good. I honestly can't figure out how they spent so much money on a custom case for a ARM dev board, bluetooth controller and a custom app store for android.

You could do far more with a RetroPi Raspberry Pi kit and roms

 

[ChuckSlaughter]

I think Ouya's problem is they didn't have a killer app OR a Dev base. I would pour a lot of money into 1st party titles.

I'll actually agree with this, there was no reason to use the stupid thing. It didn't have any games that would be compelling. I can't imagine how she thinks she'd come up with a compelling 16 bit game when she'd be going head to head against every app store and free web game. In the case of ouya I don't know how many compelling first party titles she thinks she'd have funded.

On July 18, 2013, Ouya announced the "Free the Games Fund" to support developers making games exclusively for their system. Ouya will match a Kickstarter's pledge dollar-for-dollar if a minimum of $50,000 is raised, but only if the game will be an Ouya exclusive for six months.[25]

Wait it looks like they tried pouring money into getting exclusives and it didn't seem to do much. I don't know how on earth wu thinks she's going to produce a GSK killer app when she was barely able to squeeze out one unremarkable game after 4 years and 400,000.... Oh and since this is on a console nobody owns you won't be able to use an app store to advertise, so don't forget that advertising budget.

These allegations are true. My husband, a Hotmail user, is responsible for engineering Revolution 60.

Maybe he was an early adopter.. what's your excuse for your apple hardon? Besides I could have sworn that I heard he did some coding, though I'm convinced almost everything was maria. If he did any coding at all throwing him under the bus as an idiotic hotmail user is stupid.

Have always thought the luck critique of Mario Party was unfair. It's a design CHOICE to give less skilled players a chance to have fun.

I always explain this to little kids if they beat me, the game is designed to let losers win once in awhile so that you don't have to feel hopeless and humiliated the whole game.. I don't want them getting a big head

I know it's quite odd but I legitimately cannot wait for the steam release of Rev60; if it's ever released anyway. I can't even imagine what Wu will act like when people inevitably start criticizing it.

no no, just imagine her meltdown when the damn thing is pirated

claim harassment and want the UN to step in to save her

How much do you think she's going to try and charge for it? Do you think she'll try and pull off what happened last time, hiding the writing behind a paywall while leaving the [minuscule] gameplay free?

 

[Peace and Harmony]

Regardless of the outcome, I feel so gratified knowing that a generation of female scientists and technologists has inspired into believing that they, too, can achieve their dreams by dicking around on Mario Party all day.

 

[Cubanodun]

knowing her, she will ask for 30 bucks, and charging a little more for a couple of useless stuff (the book, ost, and shit no one cares), i will wait for the Reloaded, or the CODEX version, im not going to give her any money

 

[Sweet and Savoury]

Well Rev60 raised $12,728 from backers to make a PC platform back in August of 2013 with a completion date of mid 2014 so....

This was the last update on March 12 from someone at GSK;



*******, the project is just fine. The game is done except for redoing the character's skeletal meshes.

This was a major commitment redoing them - I'm actually working on retexturing Holiday as we speak. After we finish that, we'll have to rerender the opening movie and then we'll ship it.We even have steamworks active for you.

I don't know if you've followed the news about what's happened to me - but I'd ask you to have some empathy. We couldn't even attend PAX East to show this game due to specific threats of violence


One could assume this is Wu so How long does it take to re-render the videos?

I would wonder if 12k would even be enough to hire the coders to finish the job, changing platforms ain't a piece of cake.

6. She's playing with her husband in Mario Party 10 atm

I heard MP10 is the worst version and with barebones content. The luck aspect is not only the only thing critized, as some mini games vary in quality to a great degree. In the social aspect, I will not mention if the WiiU is the "social"console or not given how easy is to get many in console warrior mode, but it seems that even Nintendoland was more family friendly and the better game.

I'm doing a throw-down right here.

If Revolution 60 actually comes to Steam, I will buy a copy and I will review it, without bias and without regret.

I hope it gets released on GOG. Then people can easily pirate it.

Not really. Either I get to make fun of this thing with the force of a tactical nuke calling out legitimate flaws, or I slam SoCo, get apocalyptically drunk and do the entire review shit-hammered. There's really no middle ground.

better get ready for the FBI and CIA coming after you if you don't say it's the best game ever, or at very least her white knights

 

[DracoRincewind]

The poetry book comparison is really spot on. The artist knows that feminists are apparently fucking amazing at fundraising. So she massages their egos and gets them to raise the money for her. Actually important feminists aren't included because they are dead or aren't famous enough on twitter.

I feel you hit the nail so squarely on the head I wish I could give you 1000 likes for this.

Spoiler: Off topic sperging

I know I'm a bit late. Just got power back a few days ago so I've been catching up on the last week.
