Weirdly, I’ve found the user reviews on Audible to be the most useful reviews I’ve encountered. This is probably because the top review usually starts with “So you’re waiting for the next Stormlight Archive book are you?” but they're usually pretty in depth without spoiling anything.

Ive really been enjoying the recent articles on here relating to the complexities that face an indie game getting noticed. I'd love to get the store-side take on it too, but I doubt anyone would get much more than a canned email on it from Sony, Nintendo, or Valve.

Not angry! I just thought it was funny, this site always puts a lot of emphasis on indie games and things like speedrunning and streaming rather than loading up on big game coverage.

“While the regular Kotaku employees are away, I will promote indie games! Something Kotaku never does!”

I dunno. What if you peeled it, and it was sentient? Then you might have something.

Im a lot more interested in the why, here. Does this cost Nintendo something? I use my Switch to watch Hulu. Why is Netflix different? What is it that is stopping this seemingly effortless collaboration?

Im not sure how to tell you this but "I would disappear into the woods for 4 days at a time to fuck my 17 year old girlfriend and our parents never thought to look for us" is, in fact, uncommon, yes.

This is... almost exactly how that works. You can't just go to a grocery store and make them put your stuff on the shelf. Did you think grocery stores had to sell certain things? What is this weird ass metaphor?!

This is interesting, because it is of course worse for these devs, but the main complaint I hear (and have) with the Switch store (don’t own an XB1 or Series X) is that it is a goddamned avalanche of FTP or shovelware games. Which is good for the groups that MAKE those games, but it feels a lot like Google Play in…

I think the story of this entire thing is that, in almost every reaction, the US has tried to thread the needle on the response and has instead Three Quarter Sleeved it, managing to get the worst of both worlds. Specifically the mention of how the relief was not enough, thats true, but it was also way, way too much.…

Damn Brian, they gave you 4 hours to yourself every day lol

Mout of what I’m playing on the PS5 right now is... upgraded versions of PS4 games (FF14, FF7 Remake, Control, Nioh 2) and, buddy, this is a giant pain in the FUCKING ass.

Cannot wait for that Tim Rogers review.  *Bart Scott Voice* "CAN'T WAIT"

Boy I hope they disable chat, otherwise SOME PEOPLE might just yell CEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEB every time they dunk on some poor 6 year old Gengar.

I feel like because this is a Brian article folks are getting confused: Utada is Japanese like Pitbull is Cuban. We talking about the English language here, Utada is just as American as Japanese. There’s no translating going on there!

The whole event is a music theme led by Meloetta, so there'll be one!

The QoL stuff they added to Pokemon Go is almost universally good for the game. Rolling it back is just bad for the game, period. There is no reason to do so at this point. Rolling this stuff back is completely missing the forest for the trees.

“That means fully vaccinated people will still contract Covid-19 if suitably exposed in one in 10 cases.”

“or, in more hyperbolic appeals, cheating oneself out of a fulfilling experience.”
