Yknow what? I’ve been sitting on this for a decade because I’m not into punching laterally but I AM FINE with punching far right lunatics.

Just a handful of short weeks before GamerGate started, Briana Wu, who I spoke to 0 times before this, sends me this *wild* ass email. 🧵

An email from Briana Wu, dated May 3, 2014 (about 3 months before the start of GamerGate)

Hey Zoe,
You I hope this will stay between us. But, I did want to share something with you.
The first time I really heard about you, and Depression Quest, a mutual gamede friend of ours in Boston was complaining about Depression Quest.
They had counseled you to take the money from big pharma. They were talking all kinds of shit about how shortsighted it was of you to not do this - but you'd stood your ground and said no. They thought you were a total fool.
I didn't know about your reality show, but I did read about the aftermath. And what really impressed me about the situation was you did the exact same thing.
A situation was anathema for you, and you said no.
You were willing to burn your bridges with an entire production company over the situation.
You and I are similar people in that we really care about women in games and calling out the sexism in the industry. But, the truth is - I'm a pragmatist. And, if I were being embarrassingly honest with you, I probably would have taken the money from big pharma. And, I would have drank the Mountain Dew on camera.
But, here you are today, and you're doing just fine.

But, here you are today, and you're doing just fine.
You stood your ground, you made your choices and you still won.
There's been a situation at GSK that's been really bad for us and bad for the company. And, I can't go into it just like you can't go into the reality show stuff - but I can tell you, I drank the Mountain Dew on camera for far too long. I have dealt with a really awful, humiliating situation for far too long. It finally ended this week.
I don't know you that well, but - I have been thinking about your integrity a lot lately, and how going forward I need to be less of a pragmatist and more of a Zoe Quinn in leading my company. I want to let you know - that's something I really intend to follow through on.
I hope that doesn't seem emo, but it is true. And, I think when other women in the industry inspire us, l think we should let them know it.
All the best, Bri

Turning 30 is actually not bad because you actually spiritually turn 30 at age 27. By the time you hit 30, you've already been 30 for three years.

i think Monster Hunter Wilds should have spent less of its cutscene budget on people talking and more on cats running around carrying a comically large slab of meat

I said this on stream last night but Monster Hunter Wilds reminds me a lot of Pokémon Sun & Moon, in the sense that it’s front loaded with main story and set pieces that are either welcome and good for newcomers or casuals OR alienating for returning players who just wanna get in the game already

Marx’ arguments didn’t hinge on the ruling class being intrinsically evil. Sure he called them insults and stuff but his central argument about “why” capitalists act “like that” (ruthlessly, exploitatively, etc) is because they are literally compelled to by capitalism

my latest for Polygon -- i spent an extensive amount of time with MHW. I ended up contemplating how Wilds and World, with their more global appeal also lean towards more colonial narratives in relation to themes and how the player engages with the world passively through gameplay.
