In my corner of the world, right after the last remaining safety measures were dropped, everything went up again to a level similar to what we had in the first and second waves (and that’s still the case more or less right now). Number of hospital admissions are constantly high (with of course some variations on the…

If an organization cancels an event they were going to hold, they should be allowed to explain why. I’m sorry you think keeping their attendees safe and LGBTQ+ people existing (which make up a decent number of speedrunners for some games) are “politics”.

Before the MAGA cult starts whining about the First Amendment:

No, but if you use your phone to commit a crime they will. Kiwifarms is committing a crime you absolute tool and you just made yourself complicit. Good luck in the law suit!

Maybe we shouldn’t be giving attention to stuff like this? Considering all of the shitty stuff from him in the past and that this does not seem to be a particularly remarkable game in the first place. Oh, and don’t forget the NFT stuff.

$45 for a skin?!?!

I got that survey myself and some of the options were insane. $5 skins, cool. $15, uh no. $40 fuck no. $59.99, is this a joke?

Zero dollars. That’s where I’m at these days. 

Maybe it leads to a cool music video

Because without explicit mention of ‘in the context of speedrunning’, a reasonable person would assume the shortcut was a long-hidden Easter egg. That sort of thing not being found for over a decade would be pretty interesting!

The biggest argument for forums is that if I go to Google or DDG and type in:

Dear Kotaku, if you are not going to include accessibility options in your videos (i.e. subtitles) can you, at the very least, provide a transcript? I’d ask this any time of the year but it feels especially egregious that this didn’t occur to anyone this week.

The community day had so many bugs (about 75% of incense spawns despawned immediately) but the called it a success and would not refund anyone their passes, which were $15 instead of the usual $1 or $5.

They decreased shiny rates, nerfed incense spawns unless you are actually walking, and keep the region-locked…

My only guess is that they must make a TON of money off selling our location data, and having their players stay home must seriously cut into that.

You aren’t alone. I live in a rural area, all my friends will not play this game because it is vastly disappointing to rural players, I barely find a single other person who plays it, and I got a job that has me work weekends. I just recently found out about PokeGenie and could finally get legendaries. I seriously…

I’ve never played Overwatch and haven’t really been following development of the new one so I don’t really know much beyond what was mentioned in this article but it sounds like at least one mode is being cut back, so you have teams of 5 instead of 6. So I imagine some people who had a steady group of 6 they always…

Agreed.

Charles Martinet was right there

Never a good sign when developers tell players they don’t know what’s fun. 

And an order of fries for dipping.
