What’s that famous phrase? Two wrongs make a right? No, no, that’s not it.

Next thing will be asking clothing manufacturers to redefine what “medium” is because the average American is waaaaaay bigger than “medium”.

Seems they’re going with option 2. 

Almost everything you listed in the 2nd to last paragraph is so unrealistic that it would look stupid as fuck. Quit trolling.

Totilo would’ve thrown this article directly in the trash if someone tried to put it on his desk.

In most of their posts about the show, I’m left with one conclusion about Kotaku and TLOU: They post shitty, inane takes to get people to comment how shitty and inane their takes are. These aren’t the real views of the author, it’s just nonsense to drive engagement.

reviews are out, the game is average to below average

Publishing spoilers is fine, putting them in the headline is just bad practice. What if someone has a busy Sunday, forgot the show aired, and opened the homepage today on their lunch break?

Is there another gaming site I can go to and leave this one behind forever? Legit question

Kotaku especially. Their business model is pretty clearly reliant on having opinions most people will disagree with. Drives engagement.

We don’t need him to, we just need him to install it. 

I can’t help but feel that it’s too late for this brand. Nobody under 30 (maybe 35 0r 40?) puts any cachet into Harley, nor associates it with rebellion. We associate it with old men, morons and hicks. The ship sailed decades ago.

It’s easy now. There are PS5s sitting on shelves in most stores in my major metro area. 

Is that logical? I don’t think they could sell enough to break even given they’d be third to market.

Somehow, the narrative around CP2077 has shifted from “it wasn’t everything it was promised to be” to “it wasn’t even a finished game”. I don’t understand it. 

I wonder if that’s a function of the amount of change in one’s life. The PS4 generation hit during a bunch of life changes for me -- going to college, graduation, finding a job -- so it felt really fast.

Not to mention they probably would’ve lost money on every big release given the lack of install base. 

Dressing down a blazer has been a thing done by people far more fashionable than you for quite some time now. 

if this was remotely true, the Switch wouldn’t be massively outselling the Steam Deck right now. And I say this as an owner of both.

I’m 28 and people my age absolutely remember the time before cellphone ubiquity. I was 5 in 1999, for pete’s sake! I didn’t get a cell phone until I was 15.
