Honestly i have no idea whbat it means but since im younger (23) i have to assume “poggers” stems from POTG which stands for “play of the game” which is what games in recent years show instead of a “killcam”. Basically a POTG is the best “play” in a video game. Like in overwatch maybe you wiped 4 enemies with one…

I’ve been a big dual console gamer for a long time. At the same time, I had the PS1 and the N64, PS2 and Xbox, PS3 and Xbox 360. But I never bought the PS4, despite wanting to. At first it was because I only had the money for one of them at the time and I was more heavily invested in Microsoft’s games than Sony’s, so…

No Man’s sky was nothing like this. That was people (rightly and wrongly) feeling like the game was missing things they thought would be in it. Sony’s certification isn’t responsible for making sure people like the game.

Maybe they should have pulled those games. Maybe if these digital storefronts stop carrying broken games it would give publishers incentive to not release broken games. CDPR doesn’t care about you dude, you gain nothing by defending them.

As an aside, it appears that one of the developers snuck in a right wing dogwhistle into the game...

AOC is a goddamned national treasure. Unabashedly progressive, kicked moderate ass in her elections, calls Republicans on their bullshit, skillfully claps back when they try to attack her, and she somehow successfully managed to merge political awareness with Twitch in a way that didn’t feel forced or scripted? In my…

I haven’t dug into the multiplayer at all so I can’t say this with complete confidence, but it’s possible that that perk exists to cause collateral damage to opponents when your fighter blows up close to their fighter. Kinda like standing too close to that Junkrat you just killed in Overwatch.

I kinda love it. HOLDO MANEUVERS FOR EVERYONE!

Was reminded of The Crucible that was an essential b0ok read in high school decades ago, at least the game wasn’t based on that novel.

It’s the same mentality that refuses to better regulate guns, and instead tells schoolchildren they just need to learn to live in fear of school shootings.

But ah needz it for mah Home Protection (tm).

Super Spreader is the worst superhero of 2020. I’d ask the LA comic-con organizers if they want him to headline this year.

Huh. The game sure feels like a comic book game while I am playing it. 

Starred for the effort. Maybe workshop it though.

That crap about her having a boyfriend is the kind of thing I hear from the Japanese Idol industry.

Kotaku has lost a lot of the writers who would do more “real journalism.” I don’t mean that to demean blogging or the writers here now, just that Jason, Heather, Cecelia, Gita, and others would often post stories with sources that did deep dives into a topic. Journalism, not blogging.

Some people need to spend less time on the internet.

It’s almost like there’s a reason for high-quality regulatory bodies and anti-monopoly mechanisms to exist, so that when two overly massive and powerful companies go to war over what is chump change to them the average dev and consumer don’t get fucked over in the process.
