Oh I know, about 4-5 months ago I got basically nuked from Kotaku. They put me back in the greys and made it so any time I made a comment the comment would disappear almost immediately upon posting it. My crime was pointing out that Claire and a couple of the other new writers were basically AI reposting video game…

What the herb has done here goes beyond the usual vulture capitalist fuckery. He’s slowly and deliberately wrecked this whole network because he’s a vindictive rightwing asshole that couldn’t stand that these sites were proudly leftist. Nothing else makes sense. A network of sites with a robust commentariat like this…

The herb is trying to get rid of news altogether. The EIC resigned because Jim Spamfucker wanted Kotaku to quit doing news articles (the stuff metrics show was actually driving traffic to the site) and start pumping out 50 game guides a week. So we can look forward to Kotaku running more posts about Final Fantasy…

Yep.

These sites are dropping like flies now.

And AVC!

I miss being able to talk about stuff like this on Kotaku.

so with Kotaku comments dead, are we all just coming to A.V. Club now? How long till they kill AVC too?

Those analogies don’t really hold up, since you’re comparing to an entire work, not just an element from one of those works. It would be more like saying an article about J.R.R Tolkien is shorter than his longest book chapter, or that a documentary about Stanley Kubrick is shorter than his longest continuous shot.

yeah, turns out live service isn’t the problem, it’s game quality that matters

Feeling savage today aren’t we? Very well put.

Open your dictionary and find the meaning of ethnic cleansing. That is what Israel wants right now.

“People say it’s three hours, but come on, you can sit in front of the TV and watch something for five hours...”

“People say it’s three hours, but come on, you can sit in front of the TV and watch something for five hours. Also, there are many people who watch theatre for 3.5 hours. There are real actors on stage, you can’t get up and walk around. You give it that respect, give cinema some respect.”

The quantum world operates by different rules than the classical one we buzz around in, allowing the fantastical to the bizarrely normal.

Evacuate what? Man they have 2 millions in prison. They told the half population to go to the other half. Why they don’t open their borders just for children and women?

Taliban an “Islamic political and military organization”.

It means Hamas set up shop in schools, hospitals, and churches for protection. It means they fire rockets from within places with civilians.

So when Israel has settlers surrounding all of their military outposts near the world’s largest open air prison, that’s not using human shields?

Oh, so Israel can kill whoever it wants to so long as “it’s not their mission”. Who cares if Israel “accidentally” kills thousands? Because Israeli officials claim that Hamas “deliberately” targets civilians. And we should just believe them.
