Yeah I have better things to do in my life than waste time watching garbage just because it might be funny *consistently lays around after work watching the same Bob’s Burgers and American Dad episodes I’ve seen a million time on Adult Swim due to emotional weariness*

There’s a pretty common attitude that all manner of atrocities - murder, torture, rape, even war and genocide - are fine as long as they happen to the “deserving”.

Look, we can talk about the death penalty. But there is no “rape penalty” - and there shouldn’t be. There shouldn’t be, because it then normalizes rape, a thing which is not normal and has no justification ever. I understand the hate and revulsion, I feel it myself. But this narrative of “haha, you’ll go to jail and…

The Nazis had similar conceptions.

Rape is rape. There is no good rape and bad rape. It is all bad. Rape is not a tool of reformation or an instrument of revenge. We are not Tate.

Everyone? I’d be surprised if even 10% of Nintendo’s user base knew that. The average gamer doesn’t even know the difference between a developer and publisher.

Just finding this out

I don’t see how it’s that different from people getting bullied for wearing generic brands of clothes or shoes. Luckily, I just didn’t give a shit as a kid about clothes brands. There’s always going to be “better than thou” peer pressure as a kid (and as an adult TBH), all that’s changed is what thing it’s focused on.

I would hazard a guess that most people are more disappointed by this news than surprised 

Is anyone surprised here?  This is a tale as old as time.  Except somehow sadder for everyone involved.

Put down the pitchfork, this is a story with fuck all for substance.

A good store manager would have the shelves filled when product comes in and the plan-o-grams properly set up. That way, “this clown” does not have to come in and stock the chocolate bars with his face on them. In any case, I’m pretty sure if the local Wal-Mart trespassed him for stocking his own goods, the corporate…

Helping people stock shelves, i.e. finding it and putting it out for them, is not “forcing” anyone to do anything. It is the exact opposite, i.e. doing their work for them so they aren’t compelled to do so because of their job.

This isn’t Kotaku’s fault. The song was written and performed by C+C Music Factory with Martha Wash (half of the Weather Girls, aka, “It’s Raining Men”) as uncredited vocals on that song (also a bit of irony considering this clip).

No. It’s C&C Music Factory’s song, because they didn’t credit someone how they should or whatever, doesn’t mean it’s not their song. They performed music for years before and after.

Also the 27th anniversary of me saying “Hot stuff coming through” every time I have to get around anyone. A timeless joke never gets old, right?

Disagree.  Yuna and Tidus take it for me and I’m even one of the few fans of VIII.

I got a completely opposite read of everything suggested in this article. I think the interviewer’s comment was a bit offensive, as that line has been suggested to have been read in a monotone by so many (and to be silly scripting). But, she’s correct… how can anybody truly know anything by a line taken out of context.

Things I learned: They’re working on a new Subnautica game.

After I beat Remake I was talking to somebody that hadn’t played it yet, they said they didn’t care about spoilers at all, so I told them about how they were setting it up as a sequel instead of an actual remake, and they were just like, “no, I don’t think that’s what’s going on.”

I was just like, “. __ .”
