Lots of games ask players if they want to send data to the developer so it’s weird for them to suggest that there was no option other than enforcing always online.

Wow... as an old school Diablo player who has been through every single one of them... that sounds horrible. If i wanted to play WoW, I could just play WoW, there is a reason I have never played WoW since it released in 2004 and MMO mechanics is it. Seems like they’re trying to make Diablo a MMO slowly but surely and…

This is a fair decision. It does seem...distasteful?...to give him this airtime when there are people suffering around the world with no cameras on them. It’s a tough balance to strike because the situation is awful, but also I don’t know what appearing on the Oscars would do to help it anyway.

Sounds like typical mealy mouthed liberalism tut tutting marginalized groups for not being courteous enough to deserve rights. 

I just pre-ordered Michael Harriot’s new book and shed a figurative tear for what I once gained (as a white dude) from reading The Root.

All this heat for Chris Rock, but very little to no smoke for Will “I get to be publicly violent and still have the Root Kiss My Ass” Smith. Will Smith, the clown whose open marriage got away from him and got syndicated letting his wife try to sexually embarrass him while she slept witth her son’s behavorially…

Oh look. After supporting violence and toxic masculinity, you’re writing about Chris Rock again. Bit of ban obsession for a mid level comic?

why would that make the life of people at Valve harder? Is not like they are working on Half-Life 3 right now, right?

I decided to click on the trending tab and take a look at this for myself for some ungodly reason, and holy shit, the amount of people who were “calling for war” as they put it, against trans folks over this and literally hoping people would kill themselves over the harassment was *insane*. It was the most brain…

What on earth is this article? You say it’s steeped in assault allegations and then it turns out to be a throwaway line at the very end where it turns out two (2!%) of the (unnamed) contestants have allegations against them. Is that even higher than the average at all?

It has literally nothing to do with the show, or…

How can he go to court if he’s barred from public buildings?

one of the greatest offensive players ever

That’s nice. The merger still shouldn’t be approved though.

Like a caveman pounding the table shouting  “Does game GRAPHICS?!  How Good!?  What number!?”  

“but I wish they would see the value of the games crit ecosystem as not so much an extension of their own PR efforts to be gamed for positive buzz, but as a place that lifts up the medium of games as a whole by taking them seriously.”

I was hoping that at least the Kotaku Commentariat down here would be on board with…

the bitches in the comment section butthurt because they’re little game is subject to a little critique. it’s always the people who think they’re above every controversy who are the most immature.

What a weird way to position the PSVR2 as if it’s only intended audience is children. There are... literally millions of grown adults that play games on consoles and I assume some percentage of them are interested in a VR headset.

It’s almost like Elon Musk is a dumbass with the intellectual depth of a 9 year old and only knows about stainless steel because it’s what the DeLorean from Back To the Future was made out of and it would be le epic bacon if his meme truck was made out of the same thing. 

The world is such a stupid fucking place...
As if our attention spans haven’t been sapped into nothingness already, now were going to normalize showing multiple clips at once?

Part of the problem is that the BMI definition used far too easily classifies people as overweight/obese, because it was developed in the 1830-1850s (I am not kidding) and is calibrated solely for Belgians. It’s also just incredibly inaccurate for any man over about 6' and any woman over about 5'8", probably because…
