I hope so! I feel like devs are struggling with the Switch’s relative lack of power more and more, sadly...

I mean, in fairness, Link’s Awakening had pretty constant framerate dips when transitioning screens. I’m not super sensitive to that sort of thing (and I have no problem with 30fps, either), but it made me feel queasy if I played for too long. Same thing with Age of Calamity; it’s still on my shelf because of the…

I love my Steam Deck, but I also think there’s still merit to the Switch! I always forget how slim the Switch is until I pick it up after playing my Deck for a while, and I completely underestimated how much I like having removable controllers on the side of it compared to the Deck needing a controller to pair with.…

I wanted to love Letitia Wright. I really did. Shuri was great in the first movie. Wright did such a great job as her.

No. Your personal, informed choices stop being personal the instant they can harm others. Cut this shit out.

Here, let’s take out the pronouns from his speech, since he’s so confused about what they are. Moron.

That is absolutely a twunk at best. No way he’s a twink, even with the pretty face hahaha

literally no but ok

Look, I really do enjoy Kotaku overall, and I adore that it’s such a prominent outlet and continues to be explicitly on the side of progress rather than the usual gamer sexism/racism/queerphobia/toxicity/etc. etc. etc. As a Latine gay guy, it’s important to me, and I can only imagine what Black (and Asian, and other…

The impression I get is less biphobia and more frustration with the storytelling itself, at least from the other reviews I’ve seen as well (including some by bi people; not sure if Isaiah is). It sounds like it’s less the fact that Bayo ends up with a man and more that a)it’s out of nowhere considering how intense…

I know mobile gaming is huge in Asia, but I feel like the game needed to also be at the very least emulator-friendly. And polished more. It was fun, but a little clunky at times.

I mean, those types of stories often present the hackers as doing something crucial to helping stop a major threat. This is a kid that’s hacking a video game company to leak development footage of a video game. It’s a bit of a different situation.

I loved Silent Hill: Shattered Memories and found Her Story to be really fascinating, but I haven’t played Telling Lies. I’ve seen more criticism of Barlow’s work popping up as time goes on, particularly with his representation of women. This game’s been getting a bunch of praise, though, and I’d seen more than one…

Megan is SO FREAKING COOL. 

I haven’t had a chance to watch it yet but I’m SO EXCITED

Uh, it does link to a tweet about a review saying the game isn’t worth it because it’s short.

Nobody’s saying Black voice actors can’t be bad. Hell, we’re talking about the dialogue, not the delivery.

The clip’s definitely not great, but I wonder how much of the fervor over it is (subconscious or not) because Frey is Black. Plenty of other games have a ton of chatter throughout, including cringy stuff. I feel like the Forspoken writers were going for “this is how people talk, plus some quips” and overshot it, but…

Oh, I did. I’m well aware of how much Japan-specific stuff was removed from anime back then, plus the amount of censorship. I still remember Sailor Moon’s “cousins” vividly, hahaha. I spent so so so much time on Geocities fansites to find info about dub changes.

Uh, I know racial coding is complex and there’s some measure of reinterpretation when we bring anime over here to the States, but Goku being white-coded? Characters being pale-skinned in anime doesn’t inherently mean they’re white, and to my understanding, East Asian is generally considered to be the default for anime…
