What a nuanced, even-tempered response. It was a simple question, and if you think that needed this sort of bile as a reply you need to rethink some things. :P

I love video content, my beef with it on Kotaku is that we never actually get even a basic summary of it to see if it’s worth the time commitment. I’m not familiar with your content so I obviously can’t speak to it either way, I just know that a lot of the videos tend to be “Look at this thing!” and nothing but.…

Explains why the first games were such a mechanical trainwreck. Don’t get me wrong; they were still fun, but MAN were things busted.

To put it simply, it focused a lot more on partnership than Pokemon ever did. It helped that it was absolutely grounded in a real world parallel to ours, with a wider cast of stronger characters than Pokemon ever had. Pokemon had the stronger games, but Digimon as a series (at least the first three seasons) has been a…

Still annoyed that they announced two OTHER Kickstarter campaigns while this was in the air - I get that there’s separate teams, but asking for money for a new product without delivering on the other one first and then telling us that they didn’t actually need the money and it was mostly for stretch goals? Not exactly…

Except you could find their IP through MSN too, you dingus. :P Even the most cursory Google search could tell you that. Skype’s a hot fucking mess by all accounts, but MSN isn’t objectively better.

The Rickroll was classy. I saw it coming, but applauded it, REALLY well done for something people don’t pull off well anymore.

That’s fair, I’ve been avoiding spoilers and I obviously haven’t played yet, I just don’t like it as a trend if this is where the series is going. :P

I get that waifus and husbandos saved the series with Awakening skyrocketing as close as this series has ever been to full-on mainstream appeal but... that’s not what the series was about for a lot of us. Awakening was largely unintrusive with a lot of the fanservicey material, but it really does feel like Fates has…

Between Rey’s Theme and Scherzo for X-Wings this may be my favourite score of the series as a whole. Older tracks will always be iconic, and even the prequels had some great music (one of their redeeming values in my personal opinion), but TFA’s just feels so right. It’s a mix between familiar territory and new ground…

The game makes perfect sense - you can find fan theories about literally any narrative popular enough, it has nothing to do whatsoever with plot coherence. :P

This is the one where you can pick romantic partners without realizing it right? I remember a game where someone was operating under the assumption they were saving the princess, but it turned out to be the jester because they’d talked to him a couple times more.

Office with no official breakroom, and I still take calls and the like if other folks are also on the phone. Dispatching jobs are a bit too crazy for me to absolutely fuck off, so it’s more of a standby mode than a full-on break.

Right, that part I know, I mean there’s no relation between the government and the publisher in this instance beyond how they’re required to regulate their product, same as any other company.

I 500% see where he’s coming from, and it’s a shitty thing to happen, but honestly this one does seem like a simple mistake on Epic’s part, albeit a pretty big one. I can’t think of a reason for relation between the government and gaming companies, this was a list about economic sanctions which DOES apply to Epic as a…

At risk of sounding obtuse or something, do you guys ever consider summarizing videos better for those of us who can’t watch them upfront? I read Kotaku primarily at work on break and don’t really have access to sound, and I’m sure I’m not the only one!

I think there’s room for open discussion, but I also know when to pick my battles. Is it a bit complacent? Probably, but there’s absolutely people I can’t convince not to be shitty, so I prefer to stick with the folks who just have bad habits as opposed to outright toxic outlooks on stuff. It’s probably a matter of…

I would like to apologize if that was unclear, I’m not the MRA white supremacist type bitching about how PC culture is ruining us. I’m just sick and tired of people skipping over the education part and enacting their own crusade against people who are wrong. It’s a honey and vinegar thing, if you call someone a racist…

If you’re not on tumblr or don’t know people who are you get to avoid the most of it - the show has some really good values as far as representation goes but it’s all mostly fanon until the creators actually step forward and confirm certain aspects that most of us infer. A lot of people defend their interpretations to…

I’m using SJW derisively because I mean the people who want to be right rather than actually enact social change. I’ll talk about issues that need discussing as best I can and defer to others when necessary. I won’t attack people and drive a fanartist to suicide attempts because I have a particular interpretation of…
