Nothing beats Kingdom Hearts Three-Five-Eight Days Over Two, right?

Nah.

I’ve never heard this story. By virtue of that, I'd have never gone looking for it. Is it that hard to just scroll on by?

I have a coworker who has almost no immune system anymore, PLUS having a condition that makes those vaccines almost ineffective for her. So yeah, a shitty situation. Also, my boss caught COVID about 2 months ago and she was unable to get up from bed for about a week, and barely able to function the following one. And…

These are not actually phone calls. It’s the “chat” feature built in to the web site. This is all text, and I would expect text conversations to be copied into the helpdesk ticket, at least in part, so the next guy knows WTF is going on.

I think everyone should always strive to “do better”. That time you (collectively, not you specifically) said something messed up and embarrassing? Learn not to be like that anymore, not to just get upset when people point it out.

And this whole thing of “don’t take it so seriously” is just minimizing. “I don’t want…

It’s crazy how articles like this, that I consider “throw-away” articles - things I read, chuckle at maybe, or just don’t care, and then I just LEAVE without saying anything, always end up attracting lots of conservative-minded folks into the chat thread.

Isn’t it so weird? Almost makes me think of a certain wintery…

In my neck of the woods in the USA, the infection rate is currently just slightly below where it was during the peak of the Omicron surge late last year. Deaths are fortunately lower, but there are still several every day.

In my corner of the world, right after the last remaining safety measures were dropped, everything went up again to a level similar to what we had in the first and second waves (and that’s still the case more or less right now). Number of hospital admissions are constantly high (with of course some variations on the…

Because around here, just about everything has been dropped 6 months ago and hospitalizations are at background noise level and deaths almost non existent.

A big part of keeping those cases numbers down, and any infections less severe, is vaccination, so GDQ rightly mandates it for attendance at the event, which they would not be able to do in Florida. I know they went with a smaller, socially distanced model for SGDQ this year as well, which I’m sure they would like to…

If an organization cancels an event they were going to hold, they should be allowed to explain why. I’m sorry you think keeping their attendees safe and LGBTQ+ people existing (which make up a decent number of speedrunners for some games) are “politics”.

Shut the fuck up snowflake

Reminder: keep the nazis and incels in the greys where they belong

This is a valid point. Having worked on Disney games, we (the team) had to develop tech to make the ears always display the 2 ear silhouette, even though Mickey was 3D. I wonder if they relaxed that requirement?

I’m sorry, I didn’t realize that you possessed superhuman divination abilities that allowed you to know beyond the shadow of a doubt that Zendesk is only providing the platform and is not receiving the data from Gamestop, as alleged. If only all people were gifted with such powers of acuity, we would have no use for…

That final quote from the lawsuit is dumb as hell. Zendesk isn’t some scary piece of software. It’s probably the most common customer service ticketing software and not particularly shady.

Gameloft is notorious for making great games and making them practically unplayable with it's heavy emphasis on f2p p2w schemes. I wish Zack covered this.

to everyone wondering where our post was: this was it. it took a while assembling all the responses from current and former kotaku dot com staffers but all that time gave us the room to honor fahey in the best way we knew how. i didn’t get to work with him long but his personality and wit were infectious. im bummed…

For anyone wondering about how much revenue he brought steam.
