I’ll bet the decline of imagery like the Magikarp sashimi had to do with growing popularity in the west more than anything else. Japanese people are very comfortable with the obvious fact that meat comes from animals and the animals have to die if you want to eat them. Similarly, most Japanese children do not suffer…

Please don’t “trash” your “worthless” HDMI cables. Give to a friend or donate them to the 99% of people who just want to get any audio and video from the cable box to the TV.

One of the reasons I really love Samus’ portrayal in Metroid Prime is because many of the log files you find refer to Samus like she’s this incredibly badass force of nature and it really cemented that version of her character in my mind.

Can we get a new series, Ask the Rude Negro? Dropping that word count really saves me some time in the mornings.

You probably do.

It’s the same reason I still use an adblocker, despite all the polite pop ups asking me to “reconsider.” When my adblocker needs to block between 30 and 40 elements on every story I chose to click on, you can forget about any consideration towards helping your cash flow. Cut back on ads, stop the really annoying…

The pot/kettle dynamic is very strong in this article.

Lol, logged in just to say this and posted right after you.

Maybe Netflix will stop this once Kotaku and all other Kinja websites stop auto playing random video contents, such as Kotaku’s “Recent Video” segment, on the main website or embedded in the articles.

I never stopped cooking with lard, butter, etc. Real ingredients make better food.

I’m guessing because they don’t need to give enough of a fuck to put any work into tidying it up. They can dump it as-is, risk zero investment in any sort of improvements, and rake in the cash from people who will mash the buy button the moment they see “Chrono Trigger”.

I’m of the kind of feminism that says you should feel free to have plastic surgery if you want, because it’s your body. But, I also would support dismantling the system that makes you feel pressured to do so in the first place.

Can someone define the “waves” for me? A look through the Internet is telling me they could be anywhere from 3 to 5 waves, with varying definitions. I’ve always heard “third wave” as being “the crazies” who basically want women to have a turn getting everything they want while men get nothing as a sort of weird…

It always bother me when someone says the buttons on a Nintendo controller are swapped. They came up with that configuration first! Your Xbox and PC controller buttons are swapped!

My big issue with pretty much all modern headphones is that they seem built around an average-small model for adult heads. Three factors, here.: (a) ‘span’ across the cups; (b) ‘depth’ adjustment (for proper cup-placement before the headband bottoms out); (c) ‘grip’ tightness.

Another piece of the puzzle here is Luv. No one seems to comment on the fact that K. and Luv are mirror-images of each other — he’s the obedient servant of Joshi (a woman), she’s the obedient servant of Wallace (a man). Both pursue the child of Deckard and Rachel, and both strain against their programming. One…

Lego is both plural and singular. Americans always struggle to understand this very simple thing.

The menus are interesting, but feels like that's the author's only experience with food outside the US and/or the modern era.
