I think since Gamergate, Kotaku’s instinct - particularly Nathan’s - is to push back against vocal/angry gamer movements. Like, whoever’s shouting loudest, they’ll take the other side.

The Blizz employee protests are pointing that out. Maybe they will impact management’s decisions. 

I get it. A red flag!

They most certainly have that right.

I believe they were the shooters’ game bird of choice in early-modern Britain, until they were phased out in the mid-1800s in favour of pheasants, which are much easier to breed in captivity. But by that point there were enough escapees from shooting grounds in the wild to form a breeding population, and now there are…

Every Canadian recognizes these birds for the vicious little shitmonsters they really are.

Contrary to common perception, these goose do not say “sorry” when smashing something (which can include your bones).

well, when i was playing last night sothis implied byleth was younger than her students (i was very confused by this)? even, whether she’s younger or the same age, it’s still a very inappropriate for her to be courting her students, given her position of authority over them.

It’s alright, I gotcha. Between you and me, I may actually understand the push and pull between trying to say something you know because you have first hand experience and trying not to let it all hang out in the internet equivalent of a live minefield.

It’s just that in those circumstances you’re absolutely right, I…

I’m already seeing the comments, so let’s be clear about something here:

“Cancel Culture” did not kill Alec Holowka. We don’t yet have the full picture of how he died, but it sounds as if he died by suicide, and had been suffering from a host of psychological and personal difficulties prior to that final, tragic act.

No…

The Epic Game Store is the current cool thing to hate, in a similar way to Battlefront II on release or other similar games. Like those, it’s marred by a huge amount of misinformation and literally everything connected to the current object of the Two Minute Hate has to be attacked and taken in the worst possible…

I don’t think your comment is a victim blaming thing but this is exactly why companies have PR departments. They figured out long ago that letting Jim from accounting talk to the public was not a great idea regardless of who is right or wrong in the situation. 

Also fuck Kinja for giving me a time limit to correct Censor*. I’m shrugging off my job here to post scathing rebukes, I don’t always have time to check back and make sure I didn’t fuck anything up. 

I don’t even want him any more without Rock Smash.

Entitled gamer shit weasels who would sell their own family so they can get things exactly what they want. Spoiled little fucks

the CONC

No fucking shit. Gamers can be some of the most entitled assholes ever. Why the hell would someone want to engage with spoiled shits who armchair game develop, as if content and features are as easy to make as a meme template.

Oh look. A company has to cut fat, yet pay the top guy millions of dollars for this failure instead of sacking his ass.

Tekkaman Blade is one of my favorite robot/robot suit anime design out there.
