“but I’m doing fine!” clearly not true. People with a lot of ideas and talent often do this to themselves. It’s not a positive thing, it’s a character flaw. No one is perfect. My guess is that he’s always going to be inclined to overwork himself so he needs people around him to support him having a healthier…

“he now firmly says “NO NO PIKACHU, MAMA” whenever he sees the Nintendo Switch.” uh oh! lol

haha true BUT i think that’s part of the issue...if it was an illegal thing and people were getting in trouble for it I think the amount would certainly decrease. It’s so huge in part because there’s no repercussions. It’s never gonna go away totally, just like harassment offline, but the lack of consequence and the…

Here’s a simple question - when the fuck are police going to start taking this shit seriously? How many things can police utterly fail at? Online harassment is HARASSMENT and it is ILLEGAL and people get ARRESTED for harassment all the time when it’s not on the intern. Why is this even treated as a different thing?…

I’m looking forward to this being my first ever Pokemon game. I’ve wanted to try it out forever (I did play Pokemon Go for a bit but that’s its own thing) and I tried the Pokemon Lets Go demo on Switch but it didn’t really hit me. I like the idea of more complexity in the game, though I think if I was more into…

I believe in fairness and understand businesses are complicated. I understand why people often don’t get fired amid calls to fire them for individual screwups. I understand stuff goes on behind the scenes in the forms of reprimands that we just never will hear about.

However - a mistake like this is more than just a…

yea...my short review is I played that free weekend and it was so...fucking...boring. It was as soulless husk. It was like playing a transformers movie made into a game. It was just utter mediocrity.

just want to add to all the positive comments - this a was a great article and everything you write is great and also every time you post about the sims it itches something in me that makes me want to play it again even though i’m still probably burnt out on it. Anyway, the writers on Kotaku are fucking awesome. I…

I really want to play it but....no ps4. Maybe that’ll change one day. Or maybe i’ll get a ps5. I dunno...we’ll see. I still haven’t even played a Dark Souls game. I know I’ll love them...just haven’t gotten around to it.

you listing things about it now actually makes me really want to play it lol

It makes no sense to me at all that a game that HAS a following and people asking for it and is already considered to be a good game - a game that is already made and literally just needs a translation - would ever sell worse than a bad game that no one knows about or likes. That argument makes absolutely no sense.…

It’s always so weird when fans ask for years for a game, a port, a translation, etc. and it never happens and the company always says their priorities are elsewhere.....as if we don’t see alllll the games coming out, all the games that sell like crap and don’t do well when they could have just made the game people are…

any word on wiimote style aiming for RE4 on switch?

oof....that sucks

Great podcast! Also I saw you three in NYC live and it was AWESOME! Tons of fun. Thanks for doing that!

fuckin’ goose...

You’re a willfully ignorant child. Prostate cancer is a men’s issue. Baldness is a men’s issue. Pressure to be a breadwinner in the family is a men’s issue. All of these things are men’s issues. Do they apply to all men? no. Do they apply to people who aren’t men? yes. However they still hugely affect the demographic…

I agree with your points but I think, from what you said, you don’t seem to understand mental health. I know a decent amount, I’ve worked in a mental health/social work setting for several years, I know and have worked with many therapists and psychiatrists, etc. Scientists actually do have a pretty solid grip on…

agreed, but that education is not continued. We very quickly begin to learn historically incorrect things glorifying racist wars, downplaying slavery, we learn about all the great things white men do and nothing else. This is all in the US obviously (and I assume other white western countries). There’s a lot to…

yep. Or even...why have an obsession in the first place? Mature healthy people do not obsess. There’s a reason obsessing is a common symptom in mental illnesses - it’s not how a healthy brain works. Teaching everyone, men and women, how to have healthy relationships, how to act healthily, and how to expect healthy…
