I appreciate this as a good bit of writing. But with respect:

I consider myself an LGBTQ ally whenever I can be and I suffer from a serious chronic illness that I have to take rough medications for but...even I think this is a little much. It seems kinda desperate to passively insult Matroid Dread for no reason, for one thing. And while I’m thrilled that we’re seeing more trans…

As a diehard Shenmue fan...

I dunno, I love Battlelfield and this all just looks and sounds awesome to me. I am fine with going back to the roots of what works. When BF is really at it’s stride in a multiplayer match, no other game matches that feeling for me. And BF5 and BF 1 were both kinda meh. I am just hoping to capture that BF4 feel, which…

I personally hand-waved it as compression of real world distances for the sake of the very real limitations. I mean, back in the day Vice City was *looks it up* 3.52 sq miles, which is not nearly as large as the Miami it’s based on.

...but the story, as all Kojima games, never made any damn sense. I play them for the…

“In other words, they seem to miss the point.”

It was fashionable to shit on FO76 at launch and for the first six months or more after, and frankly for good reason. I started playing several months after launch and after finishing the main questlines, it was just a pointless grind. Fun in a mindless way when you just want something to do, but the griefers, dupers…

Deceptive headline. Makes it seem like this is an official thing that’s actually in the game. Would be nice, but it's just a mod.

I’m actually surprised this wasn’t covered by Nathan Grayson, but that’s likely because of the massive dunking on Twitter he’s been getting about this.

well, I’m inclined to agree, but remember: this is kotaku not the [name of reputiable pulication responsible for news, not a blog about video game culture] 

I was going to say something similar, in that I’m not sure which is weirder - that this goofy shit is happening, or that it qualifies as “news”.

From what I gathered from the trailer the “Tarnished” seems completely interchangeable with “Hollows” and “Enkindled”.

Except Starfield is releasing on PC too, a platform where games have to try and cater to many different specifications of hardware, so I don’t really buy Todd’s “ability to focus line”. I don’t have any skin in the game; I mostly play on PC, I just think Todd is generally full of it. Fair play to Pete Hines for not…

“For centuries darker-skinned Afro-Latinx people have been erased from Latinidad, but we will be forgotten no more. We are tired of being maids and background dancers and will continue to push back until we are seen and heard. Indeed, Lin Manuel Miranda ‘fell short.’”

I just had a look back at what this dev has done, and from a quick scan the worst of it seems to be that he supported Trump/similar right-wing politicians, and once wore a Burzum shirt (black metal guy who’s a neo-nazi). So ok he’s probably a dickhead and we’re never going to be best mates. But I’m equally…

That’s optimistic. This thing is going directly onto the collector curiosity shelf. It will be played for all of an hour or two for most people. 

My mom only ever walked in on me wanking once, and after the initial shock wore off the most embarrassing part was that it was to Jennifer Aniston in Office Space. I wasn’t even really into Aniston, I was just a horny teenager in the middle of the day with no computer and that was all I could find on cable!

Even just reading the article about the stream.

I read the entire description of the wild and wacky event and it sounds so lame? He climbed in a hot tub with socks on, promoted his store, cracked an egg on his head and poured some cokecola in it... Why do 100,000 login for this.
