No I don't know the rest. This is the first I'm seeing her on MT.net.

And if it's not on mt.net, I don't know about it.

Short summary:

Female gamer makes woke video game.
Game players dismiss game as woke.
Game writer fires back, and is immediately attacked by game community, including various threats.
Writer then labels all gamers as conservative *****, which prompts more backlash.

After that, her 15 minutes are up, and she is largely forgotten.

Not a joke.


"Depression Quest is a 2013 interactive fiction game dealing with the subject of depression. It was developed by Zoë Quinn using the Twine engine, with writing by Quinn and Patrick Lindsey, and music by Isaac Schankler. It was first released for the web on February 14, 2013, and for Steam on August 11, 2014. The game tells the story of a person suffering from depression and their attempts to deal with their condition. It was created to foster a greater understanding of depression."


Oh, and it was text-only.


I cannot understand why it wasn't a chart-topper.

Zoë? That is so ******* pretentious. The umlaut, the two dots over the e, simply means that an e follows that letter. Her name is therefore Zoee. What a fucktard.

Somebody's mother didn't pick her up enough when she was little.

I couldn't understand a word he said (the audio mixing seemed pretty bad), but good on him for calling out the pedos on America's biggest stage, be it a rapper, a country singer, a mime, or whatever other entertainer they stick up there.

And yes.

I had heard a long time ago that this song was about calling out a few people who were in the same circles as Sean Combs about pedophilia. I didn't know the guy's name who performed it but I recognized the sound of the song during the show. My TV currently has subtitles enabled so when I saw the word pedophile I took closer notice.

By other accounts, Kendrick Lamar is known to be a good, positive, Christian guy who is fighting to make his way in an industry full of evil people. So I can applaud him for that even though his performance is not appealing to me. Saying what he said probably puts a target on him from some of the rich and powerful.

How did we get so far away from this?

Article I Section 9 Clause 7

"No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time."
