Or maybe Pokemon (and Nintendo) fans eat up whatever Nintendo and The Pokemon Company feeds them?

People always like to ignore one simple fact: neither Sony, nor Microsoft can get away with fuck-ups as easily as Nintendo does. And Ninty loves to exploit this fact.

I really like Joshua’s writing. So I hope he lands somewhere solid. A place where an herb can’t tear up foundations.

I’m going to miss this website. I hope Tim and Jason are getting ahead of Kotaku’s impending destruction and looking for better jobs.

Okay but where can I find yall now

Eh, I mean, I’m 36, but I hesitate to jump on the “kids these days” bandwagon. I’m not convinced there’s anything worse about kids now versus when I was a kid.

But I’m a maladjusted narcissistic manchild with the emotional maturity of a toddler, and my self-worth is based upon my accomplishments in videogames, why can’t developers craft and curate content to specifically match my needs and wants at the expense of other players or the developers themselves?

The thing is, one person’s tongue-in-cheek humor can be another person’s mocking. Humor is subjective; just because you react to it that way doesn’t mean another person does. Just based on that, they’re fine enough examples.

Cosmetics are about letting the player make an avatar that is representative of themselves, and Blizzard takes it a step further and tries to make money via caricatures of gender, appearance (race/ethnicity) and of culture (nation/country of origin). This commercialization of culture is not necessarily a bad thing…

Another good change in the naming of difficulties is making it clear who the difficulties are intended for.  Playing Gears of War 4 recently I think the names were Easy, Normal, Hardcore, and Expert.  But what I liked was each had a description.  Easy is for people new to shooters, Normal is for people new to Gears,…

You can’t believe it because you’re privileged enough not to have to deal with the actual issues that the people who are made to wear these sorts of uniforms in real life have to deal with, and you’re also not empathetic enough to understand the perspective of another fellow human being, and how such a thing might…

I’m disappointed that the first comment is already dismissive of the entire concept of thinking critically about topics like this. I found the article very informative and enlightening, and I think we should be having conversations like this. Writing it off as “just cosmetics” isn’t helping anything. Caring about…

It’s...not the best feminist-focused site out there, that’s for sure.

To be clear, I really was just making a joke about a word I learned, sorry if it came off otherwise.

“Lol you used a thesaurus” is quite the self own.

It takes a certain kind of person to make fun of a writer with a decent vocabulary.

Might could have helped with this joke, too

Please take this comment back to 1997 where it belongs.

Are you reading their cover letter, or grading their essay? If not, then how do you know they don’t know the rules? Maybe self-evaluate why you feel that you’re spending more time trying to figure out what they’re trying to say in casual conversation. We learn as children how to use context clues to parse words we…
