Can you even get different endings in DQ or do they all end with "woah you're really sad holy poo poo"? I played it once and at one point I wanted to call a doctor but my guy pussied out.
If not, it's less "Choose Your Own Adventure" and more "Look At This Predetermined Adventure".

I have a friend with really severe clinical depression and he vented to me a while back that depression quest completely misrepresents depression as an illness and is basically just some HTML markup about a hipster dealing with social circle drama

There's one part of the game that refers to depression as "your brain being sick".

Absent of any contrext that quote seems incredibly facile.

The context is that a friend suggests you have depression and recommends a doctor and to be not afraid of going. It's more acceptable in that context but I can see how it could imply depression is more of a disease.

Could have plugged the game jam supporting lady developers where all proceeds go to charity instead of your patreoon

Funny story, she actually shut that down. She complained that it was exploitative towards women, that the women would have to work for free (even though they get 8% of the profits), that a man is running the project and that it's not coming from her buddy-buddy region of San Francisco. When TFYC asked her how to change the campaign to not offend anyone and even offered her as a paying job as a consultant, she didn't reply. She then got her followers to DDoS the site and laughed it off.

One correction because it makes the whole thing even more ridiculous.

So, actually, TFYC were worried that men might pretend to be women to enter that contest. I'm not making that up, you can listen here To that end, they included this weird caveat that like, if you identified as a woman, you had to have identified prior to a certain date.

Apparently, Quinn mistook this as meaning "no pre-ops/people without surgery allowed" and tweeted about how wrong that was. I don't know how it snowballed from there, but yeah, some weirdo follower of Quinn's doxx'ed the people at TFYC and revealed SSNs, phone numbers, etc. on Twitter.

Ah, my mistake. Then again...



TL;DR: Zoe ridiculing TFYC for dozens of tweets then backpedaling hard.

Keep in mind she (she's born male and identifies as female, if that wasn't apparent) made games such as Lesbian Spider Queens From Mars, or Beautiful Escape: Dungeoneer, a "fascinating narrative-driven title about a fetishistic serial-killer".

Okay, what the gently caress is going on here? That's not her Twitter. At least, not anymore.
Here's the thing. Her Twitter was @patriciaxh until yesterday, but in the recent hours it suddenly migrated to @xpatriciah, with tweets and all. Her contact list on Kotaku still links to her old one.
But for someone else to take over her Twitter-handle? How is that possible?

For sure. Although, I think it might actually be more difficult to do in powerpoint if you can imagine that.

It wasn't difficult for her at all because she didn't do the coding, 2 separate people did.
