Most people don’t have a Kinect with their xbox.
In addition, turning off voice commands is easy to do. In fact, the first time you turn on a new Xbox when running through initial setup, the option is made clear to you.

This article outlines that what recordings are being made are accidental and mostly people basically…

OP:

Agreed. Could have been a great opportunity!
I genuinely felt excited about the idea of playing Pennywise in the MK universe thanks to your comment. And it’s not actually happening lol
Guess I have a new pipe dream now...

You should write to them directly. This is the best idea I’ve heard all week.
It’s so obvious now that you’ve pointed it out...
But... maybe they would have to get Stephen Kings sign off on it?  Movie rights aren’t the same as game/toy rights?

Let me start over. I’m not ignoring context. I’m saying applying the “both sides” line as a criticism of what the game creator IN THIS ARTICLE is saying is just wrong. Even more so given how loaded the exterior context that many people apply to that argument. It’s an unfair assessment of what Francois is saying.

And…

No, you’re responding to Ka Mai’s comment on the article, not the article itself or anything within it.

This sounds unironically amazing.  Now I have something to dream about while I polish my guns and stare off into space with a smile.

It’s an interesting point you make about 80s and 90s TV emphasizing the importance of being “normal” to kids, especially since nowadays it’s the complete opposite

No. It’s not. Only because then we would have a show that looks like every other show about high school ever.

I more interesting reboot would be one that kept the jocks as the protagonist and made the nerds/geeks and internet commenters into creeps that they fought against :D Ahhh... that would be refreshing...

It so is. That was my main take away too.
Thank you for not being a piece of shit like the early outrage commenters.

Given that Thor’s hammer could turn a normal person into an cloud of red mist with a single blow, I’d say they are holding back some... sadly :(

I’d rather see this play out like an episode of One Punch Man. It’s off brand... but would still be fun!

Ignoring that just derails the conversation to be about how not everything is cut and dry; many people know that.

the rhetoric of “both sides” specifically comes from the context of white supremacy

“[My son] is upset about old pictures and I can’t do anything about that because I can’t change the past,” Pecocaro says. “Had I had a huge focus on his gender from the beginning I think it [would have] made things a lot more stressful for him and he’s already stressed.”

Some issues are clean cut, black and white, right or wrong.
MOST are not.

I personally dislike vanity art and personal shout outs of staff in games or video games. But if it is kept hidden, like an inside joke, it isn’t a big deal.

Some of these work well. But some of them have faces that feel out of place and are too specific. Hurts the art.  Especially with that one featuring “greg”.

Probably works for another game company and this would conflict with a non-compete clause.

After seeing this, I want a grade-school age mario adventure.  We’ve seen baby mario and middle age mario... But now we need to see how those two are bridged.  The first time Mario exerted his dominance over Luigi and the mushroom kingdoms “baddies”.

I’m genuinely surprised more people aren’t calling this out for what it obviously is: Trolling.

It’s like we forgot that trolls exist.
What is happening?! The trolls most love how easy & effective it is to troll now.

At least in regards to the memes, I seriously doubt these people are actually mad. It looks to me like they are trolling the internet with intentionally offensive jokes. And Kotaku writers bit hard. Hook, line, and sinker.

We want to stop seeing this behavior? Stop covering it and giving it legs.
If you write “articles”…
