Blaming it on states slashing funding doesn’t make sense either. Yes, it’s dropped, but that barely matters when tuition has quadrupled.

From 2002 to 2012, institutional revenue per full-time bachelor's degree student at US public universities grew at less than 4/10 of 1% above the rate of inflation per year.

Inflation-adjusted tuition revenue increased 60% over that period. Of that amount, 80% of it was accounted for by reductions in state and local appropriations.

It "doesn't make sense" to John, because, as usual, he's talking about something he knows nothing about, nor makes even the slightest effort to research.
 
His barometer for artistic evaluation is quite simple:

DANG DIRTY MALE LEAD CHARACTERS = SHIT MEDIA

Hence, Ultraviolet > The Godfather

EDIT: He also only consumes the most mainstream of
mainstream stuff, so FUCK YOU if you want to introduce him to an independent game or non-Hollywood movie that has actual feminist themes or female characters that are strong
without ripping out male throats.
I wonder if she's triggered by the trans character in Sense8?
 
I archived this Ghazi Post where the Imperator Herself might have revealed her power level, so to speak.


Wu does know that Jill originally had Jiggle physics in the original release because of her outfit and because of how the engine worked, right? It's the same reason that the movements are more fluid for pretty much everything in the game.

Also, purely because I feel like it, let's talk about Jill's outfit in RE1, since Jill's the character whose Jiggle physics offend Wu's delicate sensibilities so much.

It's worth noting that Jill alone is the only character in the game that wears an undercover shirt. For the uninitiated, they're intended for minimal-combat situations and are basically a shirt with sewn-in strips of protective material, as opposed to being fitted for actual conflict situation. Jill's shirt is reinforced with additional bulletproof material and padding, however.

Indeed, every single character other than Jill wears actual body armor. Joseph, Brad, Chris, Barry, Wesker, Richard, Enrico, Forest, Kenneth, Kevin, Brad, and Edward all wear light-duty vests, and Rebecca wears a standard concealable vest.

One may wonder why this is.

The reason is that Jill is responsible for rear-area duty on a mission. When STARS is called into an area, Jill is, in essence, responsible for the follow-up phase - she's essentially a combat engineer, with the bulk of her expertise being explosives disposal and getting shit unlocked. If STARS is operating normally, Jill is relatively rarely in the line of fire, much as Kevin and Brad, being pilots, aren't usually in the fray, nor are Rebecca, Edward, and Forest, who are a Field Medic, Rear Guard unit like Jill, and a Marksman, correspondingly. Jill is under-equipped because things went completely FUBAR, and she's both weaker than many of the other characters physically and has kitted her gear out for light weight to compensate.

But you know what? The game actually acknowledges this.

Jill is easier to kill than both Chris and Rebecca, having less health, and she recoils harder than both if hit. Jill is also slower to ready weapons because she isn't as strong as Chris, nor as skilled with weapon operation (Chris works the action of many weapons that both characters get faster, and has a higher critical hit rate with most weapons). She readies weapons quicker than Rebecca (though Rebecca only generally has a pistol unless you're hacking), who's an outright newblet. She isn't as tough as the other characters, nor is she as skilled with weapons.

What she has instead is that she's fucking smart. Jill alone has training to use a fucking lockpick. Jill alone plays the piano without any fucking around. Jill alone picks up on plot elements that the bulk of her squad doesn't, including the fact that Barry's up to some shifty shit. Jill also is the one who gets the fucking grenade launcher.

Her game is actually easier than Chris's, to a surprising degree, even though she is statistically worse in several ways, simply by virtue of the fact that she never needs keys for simple locks, has a multi-role weapon Chris never gets, has a partner character actually worth a damn, and needs less faffing about with puzzles, making Jill much easier to Speed-Run with.

"But what about Resident Evil 3?" I hear you ask. "Jill is impractically-dressed for that!"

She is. And again - that's the point. In Resident Evil 3, Jill is again under-equipped, because she was planning to leave Raccoon City and then suddenly we had a tandem city-wide lock-down and Zombie Apocalypse. All information is that the downfall of Raccoon City happened in about 7 days from the initial infection of the city, to full-fledged cluster-fuck, to MOAB it before it can spread. Jill tried to leave the city, according to the official timeline, starting September 27th, where she had been hoping to simply slip past the lockdown as a civilian, but ran into trouble when it turned out that the infection had already reached her front door. Quite literally. By this point the Police Chief had essentially dismantled STARS since he was a corrupt douchebag and as fucked-up as one gets.

Jill's later outfits are more practical, if a bit more straightforward, and she still favors light armor in all future games. All her outfits, from BSAA to Queen Zenobia, feature light armored vests, except the Tricell Armor she wore when working under Wesker's control, and Wu should probably stop bitching because that one is still armored and still makes more sense than fucking Minuette's outfit.

There was the developer of Beyond eyes, someone that made a actually fun game bribri is just jealous that he was not invited also a big Boss of AMD was showing the new generation of Radeon and big fucking surprise is a woman

The awesome part of the pc gaming conference was when Phil Spence dropped the bomb about gears of wars and later the last bastion of peasantry falled, no man sky was announced for pc

Wait, are you telling me that a game set in post-apocalyptic retro-sci-fi US might have characters treat women in a manner that could be deemed unacceptable by modern feminist thought?

What's next? "Raiders in Fallout sometimes rape women"? "Most of the wildlife in Fallout games doesn't make much sense as the byproduct of chemical/radioactive exposure"? "The backstory of Fallout has some inconsistencies with real life history"?

I wonder if @wu_suck is a legitimate troll or just a sock puppet that provides convenient tweets when Wu needs to prove she's being victimised.
And to Francisco J. Ramirez, I don't think Wu has any positive tweets to share. Unless you count honest advice from well-meaning people to which Wu usually answers with sarcasm, snark or dismissal. Or a combination thereof.

Yeah, Brianna has quite a knack for receiving feedback from people of differing opinions and backgrounds, and I am sure she is interested in knowing what people think of her game-


Oh for fuck's sake!

No respectable company makes fucking Bingo cards of legitimate complaints from customers.

Brianna, I thought you had a business degree. Did you waste time in class listening to Spice Girls?

Because no one with a business degree pulls this kind of shit without immediately becoming irrevelant in any industry.

I think Josh Sawyer, lead designer of Van Buren and New Vegas, said it better than I could ever do:

Come on, Brianna. You already made us read a fucking novel to understand your "game" and now you're making us play Bingo with your steam critics?

And weren't you just whining about there being no innovation at E3? Maybe you could innovate the game of Bingo instead of falling back on the old, boring design we've all seen a million times before on the blogs of a thousand pissy feminists. Try it. You might find it more fun and challenging than demanding that other people do the hard work for you.

You're not supposed to make every square on a Bingo card "free space". You'd think a "game developer" would know something like that.
