What I’ve learned from this article is that Jeffrey Goldberg should be fired, and is so thoroughly incapable of judging the character or aptitude of others that he should never be in a position where he can hire or fire people again.
On one hand? I’m not even sure I’d need one finger, though I admittedly had my fill of the Rockstar style of game after San Andreas and haven’t played any since.
How many women left the company because they saw their male colleagues get promoted while they languished at the bottom of the totem pole?
I receive the warning-laden page when I navigate to it.
He didn’t even say “good morning,” he incorrectly said “good afternoon” and was corrected by the clearly unimpressed Rep. Hanabusa.
In the Pacific Northwest, water coolers are standard, but giving the card back is a rarity. When I lived in Cleveland, it was pretty common for you to get your card back, but water coolers were unheard of.
I was so bad at batting in little league that I became “that little prick that bunts every single time.” I was up to bat for the last out of our playoff game, and the opposing coach had his kids move waaaaaaay in. My team’s coach (read: my dad) told me I would have to actually swing this time. I struck out.
For anyone interested in an actually nuanced take on the culture of early Atari, Kotaku’s own Cecilia D’Anastasio published an amazing collection of interviews with the women of Atari just last month.
...AshLee? For real?
Another site is reporting that his family sent him to weird survivalist Christian camps where they played with guns and learned survival techniques while preaching gospel. Who wants to bet they learned how to make bombs there?
If Twitch won’t just fucking ban someone after having previously suspended him NINE TIMES, I highly doubt they’ll discipline him for walking in the background of a webcam or asking his roommate to clean the dishes that were left in the sink. This guy is just playing the victim for #drama.
We’ve got the Rose City Rollers, the 2015 and 2016 WFTDA Champions!
With Kotaku being a play on a Japanese word, it probably makes the most sense to use the Japanese particle -jin. So we are Kotakujin.
I love that the stylists are embracing Soe’s sleeve tattoo in so many of her outfits.
I have never cross-country skied, but I remember the scene at the end of our high school cross-country running races being similarly gruesome. At the bigger races, the finish line would consist of 100+ gaunt, nearly naked teenagers collapsing after the finish line, crawling on our hands and knees, gasping for air,…
If it makes you feel better, I gave up on it like five episodes in, when I realized that it’s Welcome To The NHK but about 1% as interesting.
I don’t know what kind of discussions are going on in the New York Times’ Slack channels, but you would think that Bret Stephens categorizing all critics of the Eric Lipton tweet as mentally ill fascists would count as a “failure to communicate with civility.” And yet it doesn’t seem like that memo was directed at…
Here’s a video from January of last year showing the (at-the-time) world record against the world record tool-assisted run. The TAS run is roughly two seconds faster in total, but it also uses tricks that aren’t possible on a real controller, such as pushing left and right simultaneously to get a big boost at the…
It doesn’t chap Pelosi’s ass at all, because she had no intention of actually jamming up the works. When democrats inevitably fold and give up on DACA, she will point to those eight hours of useless grandstanding and claim she did all she could.
