What really pisses me off, aside from the lack of exemptions for rape and incest, is that I haven’t seen any mention of ectopic pregnancies, meaning women will be sentenced to brutal, painful deaths 

I may be agnostic/atheist, but I know that if there is a heaven and hell, all of the people involved in enacting this law and any law like it will burn in hell for eternity for forcing children (a child can be 11 years old or younger and get pregnant) to give birth to the product of rape and incest.  Moral majority my…

Right about now, I’m assuming most game developers treat their employees like crap.

It’s not even what Sisi was saying anyway, it’s just deliberate mischaracterisation. The quoted text was part of a ‘parallel example’ and was talking about the scope of regulations. No comparison to gaming was made, and “that’s gaming for you, it’s radioactive waste and it should be banned” are absolutely Nevermore’s…

One article from a person who’s been part of the editorial staff for less than two weeks speaks for all of Kotaku. Right. Not Luke Plunkett, not Mike Fahey (who I will admit has been having increasingly bad takes over time with anything other than accessibility). The new person.

Lighten up. They fucked up, figured out a way to fix it, and it seems like a pretty decent outcome all things considered. Do you just want to be mad?

Better than companies that create a “task force” then put out some meaningless PR-speak and never change anything. The bar is low, but at least they didn’t play limbo with it.

Honestly I think they were caught off guard by the success and never scaled up. They were a small company before they got this IP. They did great with small Ingress events. They did not handle the worldwide phenomenon as well. Their global events have gotten better but…

They’d decided to reduce interaction distances in their game by half in the US and New Zealand right as the Covid Delta variant was causing deadly new spikes in both countries.

Try having a mean German grandmother who follows you around when you’re eating a snack at 12 and telling you “a moment on the lips a lifetime on the hips,” and a mother who tells you the only time you had skinny legs was when you were ill with pneumonia when you were 8. Fat, skinny, healthy, unhealthy, it’s never good…

Exactly. That's what the Kardashians and Blake Lively do. You know how I know it's all fake? Because when you gain weight, you can't control where the excess weight accumulates, yet none of these women would ever have a gut. 

Yeah she just looks like what is real world normal and not what the Hollywood circle jerk consider normal (which it turned out was stick-thin women they could abuse).

I think I might have body dysmorphia or something. Mindy isn’t even plus sizes. It’s just plus sized models aren’t even plus sized they are size 8 or 10. Most actress are so thin like size 0 or 2. 

I follow Pope Francis on Twitter (sue me, I’m Jewish and I like him) and he recently had a “get vaxxed and wear a mask” tweet. 

I went to a Jesuit college. My dad would always say the Jesuits are the “cool” priests. They are definitely good teachers at least.

Carrie Underwood is definitely not a Catholic.

I mean, you don’t get to the top tier of country music (for whatever that’s worth...yikes) without appealing to your fan base on more than a musical level.

The only real way to prevent this level of toxicity in game environments is to fight against it from the start. Once a culture becomes toxic... it’s really, really hard to pull it back.

How did they miss the opportunity to name it Thighmasters?

The basic rules of working for a cheap boss are:
- Working harder will not get you paid any more
- If you do something once, it becomes part of your job description forever
- If you work too hard, they’ll fire someone else and give you their responsibilities too, without increasing your pay.

Making an effort is a sucker’s…
