The whole “if you give your money to someone you are responsible for their views” thing is just... ridiculously naive. If anyone believes that, you shouldn’t be on this website, because The Herb and crew still reap any rewards from this site’s success. It’s a sad fact of the world that 90% of all money you spend is,…

‘anyone who pledges to support her monetarily is also a transphobe’ and comments like that, where people say ‘you’re x if you y’, immediately draw my ire. Give me a reason that’s substantiated, not a threat of your perception of me shifting.

Guess it depends on the games you like playing I guess. I personally would rather play Wildlands over Boyfriend Dungeon, it’s all in what kind of games you like. That said, I play games more to have fun than to delve into possible moral and political statements they may or may not be making, especially when at times…

I have always taken issue with the discourse around Quiet which always just sounded to me like slut-shaming. Wanting a Resident Evil giantess to sit on you is perfectly cool but a woman existing in a bikini is Japanese perviness in full effect.

what’s special about 95-98% of cops....

It’s also made more dangerous by our (lack of) gun laws. In most Western countries police officers don’t walk into every interaction assuming that the other party might be armed with a firearm. 

Aw, no mention of Basil Poledouris’s legendary score for the film? It practically makes the movie. Conan’s prayer to Crom intercut with Thulsa Doom and his riders closing in as the sweeping music plays always gets to me.

Well I’m a cis person who approves of this because I’m a Very Good Person. Let the unending adulation for my heroism begiiiiiiiiin!

The GTA series has almost always been about mockery. Everything is on the table. Politicians left & right, nerds, hip hop, jocks, hispanics, rednecks, gay people, weed smokers, reality tv, billionaires, you name it. I guess the times are changing? It makes you wonder what GTA6 will be like...

The solution is is the same as its always been for owners of Cyberpunk for PS4. Just buy a PS5 and play it there.

Cyberpunk 2077’s next-gen launch brings much-needed improvements, but CDPR has offered no vision of the game’s future

After reading the horror story published here about how cumbersome and strange it was to get the saves from PS4 FF7R to PS5 FF7R I had some anxiety. There was even a 7 paragraph “how-to” explainer posted by Kotaku for it. All of 30 seconds later, all I could think was “THIS was deserving of a fearmongering article?”

*spends 15 seconds navigating to Cyberpunk 2077 in my library and clicking an install button* 

In the end...it really is just Dungeons and Dragons.  It has inspirations from other cultures...sure.  It also has dragons and talking robots and people who can shoot fire from their hands.  Why doesn’t the author make the same complaint of Wizards of the Coast themselves?

“This may seem like an overly cynical and bad-faith interpretation of what Critical Role is doing with this new campaign.”

In what way is he a “core member”? He doesn’t even work for them, and hasn’t for years.

So... a guy who doesn’t even work for Blizzard anymore, goes on a right-wing Discord and post some stuff Kotaku writers don’t agree with. Quick, write a story with the Blizzard logo as the main image.

A slur is a slur, but context is also just as valuable, and pretending that all things are equal when it comes to words and who is offended by them is just silly. 

A slur is a slur no matter who it’s aimed at. The target being white people doesn’t make it somehow okay.

The entitlement is found in those fans who complain that reviewers openly said they didn’t like it, and that casual viewers didn’t take the effort to watch it, and as a result they (the fans) won’t get a second season. Look (not you, sarusa, but hypothetical fans), if you wanted a second season, I’m sorry you’re not…
