Ah, the old 'no, you are' strategy. I remember that one- I too thought it was the pinnacle of trolling back in my teenage years, just after reading an intro to psychology textbook and had that overwhelming feeling of knowing everything about the inner workings of the mind, as most kids do at that point. Your reading

Oh, don't get me wrong, I don't mean your interest in continuing our discourse is apathetic-that mark of shame is for the unfortunate people that will generally click whatever you put in front of them, and it can often be because they find it on a site they would normally visit for other, more useful purposes. If the

Wait, so in all of this, you're mostly annoyed by my style of writing? If we're going in that direction, perhaps you should start with basic grammar before impugning anything about how I write in general. That's not really it though, is it? I don't know what sort of childhood trauma instilled this academically

Calm yourself, child. You're embarrassing yourself with all this misplaced aggression and thus the conversation is over.

Aside from your somewhat unnecessary snide, I don't disagree that that the change is very simple or that some ppl may enjoy those off-topic (again, by their own admission since they don't have the kotakucore tag) articles, my issue is borne out of a general hatred for apathy. By continually further diluting what the

Your 'arguments' are fascinating, I wish I could put you in a jar (preferably with no holes in the lid) and study you! Sadly it appears we've come to part of the discussion where you signal your inability to proceed rationally by coarsely displaying the worst traits found in most saddeningly ignorant people-personally

Yes, a puerile and unproductive semantic argument.

Your level of ignorance is refreshing, I'll give you that. The only standards I ask them to conform to are the ones that they themselves have put into place: 'a news and opinion site about games and things serious gamers care about'.

Oh goody *claps hands excitedly* a semantic argument! Now we're cooking. Then would you not agree that the default setting should be only items relating to gaming and everything else have a tag to group it appropriately? I look forward to the day when certain repeat offending members of staff can have their work found

So then you do in fact agree that I would need to make a change in *my* behavior-regardless of how large or small-to have this site work in the way that the content creators and ppl running it intend for it to work, no? Your argument, sir, is flawed by your own admission then. Good day, sir.

I applaud you sir.

If nothing is posted that we should actually need to avoid to uphold their own mandate, then that won't be necessary. I'm thinking a few Kotaku staffers may need to post that over their desk to bring them back to remind themselves what their job is from time to time. Modifying our behavior because ppl like yourself

Shouldn't need to. If you need to change the settings to have a site do what it's supposed to, you've failed-worse even perhaps, you've pandered.

What, religion or Tommy Wiseau?

Why are atheists and agnostics still surprised and outraged by anything religion does and has been doing almost forever? (I'm atheist btw,it just seems counter-intuitive that we make loud noises about their loud noises...)

Uh...death. No, cake! I meant cake.

Well spotted, sir. I retract my fallacious comment about corporate teat suckling, and instead suggest that in the throes of their idolatry that they are, in fact swallowing the regurgitated organic matter of their tacky and boorish avian overlords.

Care Factor? Yeah, I could get behind this, although story is probably the weakest part of the MGS series.

Chances Of Getting Made? Sadly… extremely high.

So if (despite the generally loose interpretation) Kotaku is about 'gamer culture', and I think we can all agree that gamers are people, you're implying that gaming culture now should include sad bronies, and you therefore submit that said sad bronies are themselves, people? Now who's the deviant?
