I’m so thankful that I gave up on ever expecting a corporation to do anything resembling the right thing years ago. Very rarely they’ll surprise me, generally by doing the absolute minimum necessary, but for the most part they constantly sink to the basement expections I have for them.

After some lingering trauma from going into SMT 3 completely blind when it first came out all those years ago and learning how genuinely brutal a turn-based JRPG could be if it wanted to, I’ve always spent a lot of time in SMT games over-leveling as much as possible before an area’s point of diminishing exp returns…
Also, let’s not bring the Slime into this. It is beautiful and perfect. But I am still super curious why I don’t recall ever seeing anything about the guy being terrible before on Kotaku. Seems like something they’d readily cover, and a non-video game news site even used the word “notorious” to refer to these aspects…
I get what you’re saying and I’m sure a large subset of the fandom would be livid if the music were removed. But as a sexual assault survivor and someone who personally knows families that were affected by the whole “Comfort Women” thing, I think I’d feel a lot differently about Mario’s World 1-1 music if the guy who…
Sorry, I’m sure that it’s not derivative and is a beautiful piece, but there’s one image that I can’t look at and see anything other than Cammy from Street Fighter. I’m sure you know the one. The combination of a sleeveless turtleneck leotard and those body proportions just instantly register as Cammy to me. The…
To the people saying that you can separate his art from his person, and that lots of right wing nationalists are involved in some capacity in the Olympics, you’re right. But there is also no rule that says that just because his music is an iconic part of a JRPG franchise, it specifically, and by association, he…
Right? It’s bizarre to me how lightly people are treating what he did. Just calling it “bullying” without any mention of the extreme severity and cruelty of his actions sanitizes the hell out of what he did. When people think bullying, they think being called names, being shoved in lockers, etc. Not sexual abuse and…
Why am I just now learning about the Dragon Quest composer? Thankfully I never liked DQ’s music as much as Final Fantasy’s, but still. This article is incredibly damning and I would be very disappointed if SquareEnix continues to work with him. I know his DQ theme is a classic for the franchise, but, like, if what the…
Sorry, double post
I love the Cosmere books, but Fortnite is a REALLY unexpected place for them to pop up. Also, Kelsier’s design seems off to me in some small but super important ways, as far as the books are concerned, anyway. Like, I the scarring on his arms is such a prominent physical trait in the booksthat I expected it to be…
“Anybody who thought this was gonna run on a shitbox got what they deserved, tbh”
Imagine hating people who believed that a product would work as described when a company sold them that product as described this much. Like, this level of contempt for people who thought “hey, my rig is at least as powerful as a PS4 or…
I’m playing on PS5 and even though I’m personally having a great time and love the game, I understand that a lot of my affection has to do with my love for the cyberpunk genre in general and getting to play around in a large cyberpunk sandbox. I would—again, very personally—consider the game one of my favorites of the…

Lmao why did my comment post 5 times. Wtf is going on with kinja
“Also, it’s easy for lightly educated kids to sit behind a keyboard and throw out claims of “war crimes” without needing to answer for context or validity. In the wars with other countries that the US has been involved in, the war crimes against the US exceeded anything the US did. It’s cherry picking and ignorance of…
