It absolutely isn’t when compared to what Russia is doing to Ukraine. But I’m glad you acknowledge your comment is, indeed, harcore whataboutism.

Boomer generation has left the world worse off than the one they were born into. I don’t see that as controversial or debatable.

Not sure why you’re saying fans like it’s ironic. Yes, if the sequel to a series they’ve been waiting on for years comes out and is a fundamentally different type of game, many of them will be disappointed. That’s not new or hard to understand.

That’s exactly my point, we keep looking at idiot man-babies who don’t know how to process their emotions being violent when they lose at a sport and acting like it’s no big deal, like you’re supposed to have a tantrum when things don’t go your way or like there’s no other options here. There’s another way and it’s…

Obviously not. For one, bottling up your feelings doesn’t do anything but make them explode more harshly later on (something that happens with pretty much all the Vulcans in Star Trek sooner or later because the viewer is not supposed to think that’s a healthy way to live). But more importantly, it’s not because I…

It’s a modified 3.5 that got popular when people balked at 4. AD&D is edition 2.

As a Pathfinder player (I was never able to get onto DnD 5e. I tried, but I just find it so incredibly bland) this sucks major balls, but is not remotely surprising. Wizards has a long history of taking something that is working to everyone’s satisfaction, butchering it to squeeze more money out of it, than acting…

What a scoop!

You sing the song of my people and you know all the proper words.  *approves in Scottish*

There are ways to help with climate change action. For the most part, these ones aren’t helping at all. They’re basically the opposite side, a warped mirror, of the Greta Thunberg-Andrew Tate tweet debacle.

Selective breeding is a form of genetic modification. You just don’t know what genetic combination is being modified in order to get the result desired. You just go with the fact that the plant is still edible along with any other desired result.

So, if I consider corn and wheat to be genetically modified (selectively bred) from their wild parent stocks, thousands of years ago, should I sue if anyone claims their corn or wheat product to be all-natural?

People aren’t “looking for reasons” to be angry. People are rightfully angry over transphobia, and this game is based on the franchise created by one of the world’s most visible transphobes. And fuuuuuuuuuck you and your stance of “ignore it and it’ll go away”. That’s not how social change works. The trans community…

Wouldn’t be dumb enough to kill someone with witnesses around gawking?
What country are you in?

“Enjoy the show Mr. Giuliani.”

Not sure what else to say

This might be the first Kotaku article about Scarlet/Violet that doesn’t piss and moan about the performance and just gets right to the actual information. Pretty refreshing.

I’ve heard four or five different ways to distinguish between roguelikes and rogue-lites, including progressing between runs, the use of obscured information (e.g. potions with an effect you can only discern by drinking them), turn-based action, and more. It just doesn’t seem like a valuable way to distinguish between…

I would add the Steam Deck to this list, as it can easily handle emulation for pretty much everything up to about 10 years ago, and even can play some of those pretty well (e.g., Nintendo Switch).

sure is a lot of not videogame content lately. videogame adjacent, sure.
