Does the survey specify if these are gross estimates, or net? I’m assuming it’s gross.

I have a friend working in Kyoto as a software engineer, and he makes about $43k USD last I checked, and that is *insane*. It’s also insane to realize that I make more than top-level executives in the Japanese game industry.

I…

If you plan on buying PSVR (and you should), you’ll want the Neo.

Save your pennies.

Or become a PC gamer and get a Vive, which is significantly more impressive, but then you’ll be saving, like, 100x as many pennies, or something. I don’t do math.

How about sex.

No? Yeah, too scary a prospect for this site’s target demographic, I guess.

Still worth a go, though!

For quite a while as a freelance game journo, writing for Kotaku was one of my career goals, but I’ve since found a writing career in “Big Tech” that pays far, far above anything I could have made as a journalist, well enough to provide for an actual future, so now I have little interest.

But good luck to whomever…

This looks fun. It’s a shame it’s temporary, because a permanent mode like this could actually get me to give a shit about the game.

Ah well.

For fuck’s sake, why? It can’t still be popular enough to warrant such a horrible thing as a live-action show.

Oh Russia,

Never stop being shit.

House of the Dying Sun is fucking amazing with VR. If you’ve got a Vive or Rift, you need to play it. Combines the aesthetics and strategic control of Homeworld with direct space-sim participation in battles. It’s frankly incredible.

Yup, Kinja is absolute shit. No worries, hope it helps!

Oh, and also mods. Get mods. The devs can’t think/implement everything, and there are some very awesome mods available that add *tons* of content and functionality.

True, although it’s also probable that he doesn’t know any of that! Took me a while of playing to figure out what should go where and how, and the order of events, etc.

Well note that everyone has a different play style, but I try to start with the colonists with the following:

Yes, because it’s Nexon’s fault that the guy is an idiot with obvious tendencies towards addiction. It’s all their fault.

I’ve been playing the game for what feels like a couple years now.

New players :

- Build your colonies inside of mountains, with few points of access.
- Build as close as you can to a geothermal geyser
- Establish a large external walled-off area in front of the entrance to your main compound, and give it a single…

VR in general, unfortunately, is not something that you can just show people and hope that they get it. It’s very much something that must be experienced first hand to enjoy and grasp the potential of.

I showed VR to my 74 year-old dad a bunch of times over private streams and hangouts, but only once he actually got a…

If you’re not getting paid to do a job, you no longer have to do that job.

So find another job to do? I don’t know.

What part of this is amazing?

Good.

I, too, appreciate tits.

I’ve been a part of the beta community for something like two years. It’ an amazing game, ridiculously fun, with deep complexity and a steep learning curve, and it’s worth every penny.

If you’re a scammer, and I know for a fact that those pieces of shit read Kotaku, fuck you. I hope hornets rape your eye sockets.
