And while the dealer is trying to make it right for Fredricks, he’s still out of $10,000 and a car.

Not true. Words have historical contexts that shape their connotative meaning. “Cracker” has none of the (frankly despicable) historical context of systemic oppression that slurs like the n-word have. Words like the n-word were used to express white dominance over another race and culture. Words like “cracker” were…

I’m absolutely loving the game, but you’re right: this game clearly needed another year in development before releasing. Anecdotally speaking, two of my friends have refused to buy it because of the lack of co-op, another refuses to play it on gamepass for the same reason, and one of THEIR friends has refused, as a…

I liked Juno, my criticism was that real working class people don’t talk like that. Succession, it makes sense that billionaires talk like that, and how would I know? I have no personal relationships with billionaires, and most of us don’t. There’s a mystery in the fantasy of it all. Juno? Not so much, because I know…

For everything you can say about the ancillary problems with Halo: Infinite (and there is a LOT that you can say), the game plays like a dream, and is the most fun I’ve had with Halo MP since Reach. 

Ah, there’s the New Kotaku Tone I mentioned a few weeks ago that I got ripped for. 

Okay, I was wondering if I really lost track of time that much. The intro section felt really short.

John’s back to ripping out confidently bad takes, nature is healing.

It’d have been better if Infinite’s first couple of corridor-imprisoned hours were any good. But they’re just defyingly dreadful.

someone in the top thread advocated for video game access while driving because of personal responsibility.

A car dashboard is not the place to have video games. Ever.  Maybe when the car is in park, but even then it encourages gaming at red lights.

Man, Musk’s desperate fanboy harem are out in full force on this one...no matter how hard you type, he’s not going to fuck you.

You say “console gamers playing on regular TV speakers or something” like it’s some rare category, rather than the most common category of player of the game.  It’s a GOOD thing if the game is designed for a normal person who buys it.

The utility (and value) of NFT’s will be created through social media platforms. For many digital representations is > physical representation and (if/when) Twitter/TikTok (discord backed away from it) roll out the ability to display flair on a social media profile that will be a turning point. We see how bananas…

Uh huh. So how much did you spend on ugly monkey pictures and how many of them are in this torrent.

“fits your narrative”

Congratulations, they discovered the concept of copyright...but without the centuries of infrastructure to support and enforce them.

they’re extremely bad

I mean, there’s a lot to hate. They’re objectively poorly made, and R* removed the ability to buy the original games to replace them with this trash.
