Fair enough. Still, while I’m not expecting ray-traced lighting at 4k 120, this doesn’t look all that different from Homeworld 2 (at least the remastered version), and that came out in 2015(?)

I did say “I don’t know fuck all,” and “I know graphics aren’t the main focus of Homeworld,” but you do you, Internet tough guy.

I watch speed runs just to find ways to cheese frustrating boss fights!

This short video is a Railgun Frigate blowing a hole in another ship is brief, silent and very much a work-in-progress, to the point where you wonder why they’re showing it at all.

Hollow Knight was super frustrating in so many parts, but by the time I was ready to smash my Switch, I had already sunk enough hours into it that I forced myself to see it through. Finally finishing it was supremely satisfying, but that said, I have no desire to ever put myself through it again.

I also echo all the…

I agree that a Black Bond needs to happen, but I’m not convinced that Bond has to be British. With Bond specifically, George Lazenby is Australian, and Pierce Brosnan is Irish. More generally, scores of British actors have won acclaim for non-British roles. For example, Idris Elba, who was rumored to be the next Bond,…

More than that, there are millions of Black consumers who are sick and tired of subsisting on a diet of Black trauma as their only meaningful representation in today’s media landscape.

I never played any of the modern Hitman games until 3, which I thought was brilliant. My question for the Kotaku hivemind is if I were to go back and play Hitman 2016 and Hitman 2, would they just be more Hitman goodness (seems like the answer is yes), or were there quality of life improvements in 3 that will make…

Can it be played in VR without the DualShock 4 motion controls? I sold my PS4 Pro and DS4 when I got my PS5, not realizing that the DualSense doesn’t have a light bar that the PSVR camera can track.

Are there still professions were fast typing matters?

Nintendo are the masters at doing more with less in terms of using art style to make up for their consoles’ lack of power, but imagine a world where it wasn’t an either/or proposition. Just give me a new Metroid Prime with 4k/60, ray-traced lighting, and SSD-speed load times as I explore the world. Is that so much to…

Leonard will also “be away from the team indefinitely” while the Heat—owned by Israeli-American businessman Micky Arison—and the NBA conduct an “investigation”.

Invert Y, and then subtitles. I grew up playing flight sims before first-person shooters, so my brain is just wired for inverted Y. Subtitles are so I don’t disturb my SO as much and because in games with made up names/settings, seeing a made up word written helps me remember it better. That, and I’m getting old, and…

“Now, give me Judas Priest: Rock Tour.”

I went through the exact same thing a couple months ago. I had run out of new things to play on my PS5 and decided to give Mankind Divided another go. As someone who LOVED the original Deus Ex and thought Human Revolution was a good, if imperfect, successor (we don’t talk about Invisible War in this household),…

Basically every Golden State Warriors game in the last 5 years or so, though I guess you’d have to replace “hardcore” with “bandwagon.” 

“I, too, am super curious what this dude was up to in Africa, that people just assumed he was the sort of person who wanted to buy a slave.”

My money is on sex tourism/trafficking. What a disgusting excuse for a human being. 

Along those lines, something like “thank you for being patient” instead of “sorry for the wait” helps acknowledge the person’s wait and subtly reframes it in a positive light about them. 

Except that a video game, while not an actual physical product, provides a discrete entertainment experience. You could argue that the “enjoyment” one gets from bidding on and “owning” a Top Shot provides entertainment, but I’d say that that’s more akin to the “enjoyment” one gets from going to Vegas, without the…
