There is so much bullshit venture capitalist money in San Francisco right now. This bubble can't burst soon enough.

These developers don't even produce anything, it's all hype and self-righteous twitter updates.

Hey my book was too lovely to get published, I'll just turn it into a point and click video game.

Also, is this a thing at PAX? Isn't that this weekend?

Edit: No, its next weekend. It would be hi-larious if this was a thing that was literally discussed at a panel at one of the largest gaming conventions in the world.

I heard they fired their previous art director for being too hard on students or something. Like, kids dropping out harming their graduation record?

Guess that explains where all the angry birds and minecraft clones came out, and how depression quest came to be when the school softened standards.

If she slept with her boss and/or game journalists to get ahead that's a straight up ethics violation in black and white. No hand waving about "misogyny" or "a woman has the right to choose who and what she sleeps with" can change that.

I've actually tried it yesterday. Basically it's your regular interactive fiction text game, where you are presented with different choices that lead to different events. But in this game, you are sadbrains, so all choices look like that:

1) Make something productive (you're sad, so it's literally in red and struck out!)
2) Wallow in self-pity
3) Eat all the ice-cream
4) Cry
5) Stare blankly

Then I think you can actually start attending therapy sessions and take antidepressants, but I never made it to that part.

Yeah, I mean serious-post for one second: I was actually diagnosed with major depression a while back and that really is a bit stupid to me that depressed people are reduced to being a useless piece of poo poo all day according to this game. I was still a functional human being that worked and went to school. I felt like poo poo, but I was still capable of being productive and getting stuff done.

I guess the takeaway is that therapy is good and you should get it which is true and it did help me but that's really basic advice that any idiot on the street can tell you at this point with modern-day psychiatry and medicine.

I really like how social justice was hot hot hot on something awful like 3 years before it went full mainstream and now we all hate it and think everyone is idiot for it

SA really is the hipster zone of the internet, we even hate the poo poo out of reddit (which basically 99% of internet savvy 20-30somethings browse regularly)

basically lol at everything because life is cool and good

I still consider myself a social justice cool guy :cool: ... ok i mean one of those idiots who screams about social justice on the internet but doesn't actually do poo poo IRL. The problem with the SJW folks at the vanguard is that a lot of them appear to be narcissists with a lot of mental defects and they go way overboard in arguing for dumb poo poo when there's more pressing matters in the real world. And apparently some of them do so for personal enrichment. This is especially true for Tumbler feminists.

To be fair, in the game you have a day job and even do some stuff there, but you just can't concentrate and all, so it's hard. I mean, it does portray depression somewhat realistically, but as a game it's just boring. The only gimmick it has is that the more depressed you are, the fewer choices are available to you, but in many cases it makes it look like any sufficiently advanced depression is indistinguishable from laziness.

4chan gave two thousand dollars to some charity event, where women are invited to pitch ideas for games, and whichever game wins in a vote will be developed with crowdfunding money, while all proceedings will go to charities and something like 8% for the idea ladies. Some people are mad because women aren't paid enough for their ideas. And also there is a very similar event that Zoe is behind. That's what I've heard.
