And let's not forget the fact that Wu misused Patreon money:



Also, I think she might be spending it on other things, as well

Patreon is not Kickstarter. The money is not for specific projects; you do whatever it is you do, patrons pay you as a reward, and then you spend it as you like.

ETA:
Look at the first picture again.  She admitted to misleading people about her Patreon.

Right there, in her Patreon page, she says:

Quote
If you appreciate what I do, please chip in so I can hire some help with the Women in Tech advocacy I do. I need someone to help me with the medial parts of dealing with my attackers so I can focus on my work, making and shipping games. I imagine we'll also have them work on women in tech advocacy.

How deceitful.

*SNIP*

Wu's a privileged 1% trust fund kid. For all we know, she could have bought that motorcycle with her own money and all.

I don't like the woman and quite honestly think she's a shithead, but let's not jump to conclusions here.

Look at the first picture again.  She admitted to misleading people about her Patreon.

Enough speculation about Wu's finances, I'm here to examine the quality of R60 as a game and present concrete evidence of the behavior of Wu herself. I am not here to speculate on stuff that can be done with less justification on GoFundMe.

Man, Revolution 60 is being torn apart everywhere.  Steam itself, Twitter, Facebook, even Tumblr is destroying it from every angle.  It’s a challenge to find someone saying anything positive about it.  By all accounts, the game bombed.

I’m amazed Wu’s sticking with it.  After getting trashed by so many people, I thought she would have thrown it under the bus to save her own skin and keep the heat off of herself.  She’s acknowledged that having all the characters be white with “idealized” figures was a mistake (not to mention hypocritical), but she really believes aside from that the game would have succeeded.  So much so that she still plans on making a sequel called Revolution 62 if she can get the money for it.  That’s some serious faith in your abilities right there.  Or delusion, whichever.

So, years after having to protect her in a single mission in Dynasty Warriors 4, Lu Lingqi, the daughter of Lu Bu, is finally playable in Dynasty Warriors 8 XL.  The world's most awesome father/daughter team can finally happen!  Doesn't hurt that she's a looker, too:

Finished Fallout 2 again. It was fun but the minigun-turrets took half the hp from the boss in a round or two, they must have been made more powerful since I remembered them being mere distractions to the boss (though they could hurt the PC and allies, particularly Marcus.)
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

There are some really, really funny comments by soldiers in the camp.

*Tries to think of something witty that doesn't involve the word "pursue".*

*Fails, and immediately jumps to first alternative*

Dat weapon, though.

First Dynasty Warriors game i (properly) played I didn't know there whole "don't pursue Lu Bu" thing. So i went after him. And took forever, but i took him down. Got an achievement for it, which i thought was odd. Then i checked up why and suddenly it clicked. :)

Why does anything happen with Group That Shall Not Be Named As I'm Sick Of The Debate?  It's just gotten to the point of parody.

Ironbite-which Law and Order SVU is going to gleefully exploit!

The only good thing about GamerGate (to me) is that I find it a lot easier to trawl hilarity than normal, especially when I trawl 8chan's various odder forums (/leftypol/ is a thing now).  The idiots on both sides just cluster, man. They just cluster!

It's like open fucking season for carrion eating nerds people like me.

Okay, I love the non-historical ending to Lu Bu's campaign.

It's about a certain "movement" that must not be named.

Nothing to do with a certain obscure tablet game!
