I mean I agree with you to an extent, this is some genuinely great journalism and it’s about a hilariously mundane thing. But at the end of the day, in the grand scheme of things, literally everything about this industry is mundane. This isn’t wartime reporting, we’re basically all just talking about dumb toys for…

How does other people disliking something ruin it for the people that like it? This is a comments section, literally the entire point is to share your opinion.

Louis CK Is As Bewildered As You Are About the Sexual Assault Allegation

This is an absolutely fucking disgusting take and you should be ashamed. That’s literally the same gaslighting logic people used to try and discredit Cosby’s accusers.

Honestly that’s exactly what this sounds like. I don’t think they modeled the light refraction accurately, but it seems like they at least tried.

The problem is, they can’t strike because programmers are in a fundamentally different position as far as supply/demand goes. I’m not going to say one takes more “skill” than the other because that’s highly subject to your point of view and not really the point, but the fact is it’s not uncommon for programmers to…

I get the feeling a ton of people are going to play this for a bit and realize they never actually wanted Vanilla WoW in the first place.

Not really. It really would not have been hard to just add a flag to the affected level/areas that block the use of that one emote. Adding content is adding content, regardless of whether it’s a piece of armor or an event trigger on a map (which are already modified weekly for the Nightfalls); pipeline don’t care,…

But that was literally the main selling point of Destiny 2, that it was going to be a better experience because they fixed their content pipeline and could more easily add/change events.

It’s worth noting that, as Kotaku columnist Amanda Cosmos once pointed out, Valve seems especially “dick averse.”

$700? Jesus, at that point just get a Switch or Vita or something. If you’re serious enough to spend that much so you can play mobile games, you’re probably using a Bluetooth controller anyway so it’s not even that big a leap in convenience.

Some friends and I did something similar in QP, back when you could still have everyone on the same hero. It was really late/early and we kept getting matched up with the same group of 6. Last game of the night, intense stalemate, we let them know we’re out after this and they propose a duel - 6v6 Rein. We line up on…

Fuck, that’s a huge bummer. My old man is still really big into BF2, has a HOTAS setup for jets and everything. He’s been playing pretty consistently since 2005, and through the years made a bunch of online dad-friends that he only ever gets to hang out with through the game. He’s gonna be absolutely crushed when he…

Wait, what platform was he playing on? I was under the impression that they already muted voice lines after X amount of times. On numerous occasions I’d hear a friend laughing at dead air, then when I asked about it they’d say “What, you can’t hear that? Mei’s spamming her voice line again.” And yet, on my end it was…

Yeah. As lame as I think this is, as long as it’s enforced transparently and equally - ie no exceptions for “tasteful” sexual content, which would be highly subjective - across the board I don’t really think this that big a deal.

I mean, GAF users were revolting long before this happened.

As someone who used to do a lot of photography in public(-ish) places, these people all sound like jerks. Always get a release if someone is the explicit subject of your shoot, don’t get up in random peoples’ faces, etc. Common fucking etiquette.

Do the characters still talk and act like a 35 year-old business executive trying to fit in on career day? Original game was so unbelievably cringey and unrealistic that I couldn’t even finish the second episode out of secondhand embarrassment.

Yeah. There was a thread on /v/ about a year ago that I still remember vividly, where some really knowledgeable programmer was talking about the PS1's texture rendering tech and all the little tricks that devs employ to optimize games. It turned into this giant 400-post discussion about really intricate math stuff…

I’m sorry, but if you don’t think NeoGAF had a toxic culture you’re delusional. As this article pointed out, people were banned for supporting #MeToo. A personal friend of mine was banned for speaking up about the pedophilia thing because, to quote his ban message, “non-offending Pedos are a marginalized group,” and I…
