Street Reflections. Tokyo, Japan. By Matt Petersen.

As an independently successful individual who rose out of poverty and who has known the entire spectrum of unfortunate people, I promise you that this is not unlikely at all. A childhood friend of mine was infantilized similarly, but unlike the Governor here, they never grew out of their childhood. Accordingly, we…

I’m so sorry, I didn’t realize how bad it was. As other people have commented here, this goes well beyond infantilization, into the realm of full-on literal abuse. Taking control of your finances, telling you that the police are on their side rather than yours and that you can’t trust outside observers like…

Holy shit this is messed up. First off, your money is your money. No one has a right to cut off the money you earn from actual employment from you. They could say you need to pay them a certain amount every month sure, but they can’t force your checks to be deposited into a bank account you don’t have access to. Go to…

If you’re an adult, they can’t steal your money legally, at least not in any U.S. jurisdiction. I assume that there’s no other legal arrangement between you and your parents (a contract, or some sort of custody order that allows them to manage your money because you are incapable). Lying to bank to steal your money is…

It’s unintentionally the better of the two Creation Clubs.

Thank you for this. The platform people have to dig into every minute aspect of everything in order to find something wrong with a harmless art is too large. This crap needs to stop and we need to appreciate the nod to Nintendo classics and quit making everything a political statement.

While I typically don’t like artists/writers/etc. to change things specifically due to public outcry (see: Alien Covenant), this is one of the few times that I think it’s both justified and awesome. I haven’t played the 2nd Dishonored, but Wonder Woman has shown what a big deal this sort of representation can be…

Bethesda: “Man we really screwed up. We seriously pissed off our modding community. I cant think of what we could have done worse”

Previous pirate here. It’s true; things like Netflix, Hulu, Spotify, and Steam (and all the third-party, non-grey market dealers it has spawned) have made piracy less appealing, at least for me. Why would I risk getting fined/going to court over a watching a movie that’ll be, in essence, $12 to watch? Why would I…

I certainly don’t speak for pirates as a whole, but in my experience most pirates are poor gamers — mostly teenagers and young adults. A pirated game does not equate 1:1 to a lost sale. It can even have the opposite effect, with gamers purchasing titles in franchises they liked once they do have the money to buy them.

Please pay for the games that you play and enjoy. I know that institutionally Kotaku is dismissive of concerns about piracy - they make the kind of content that isn’t subject to being pirated - but the industry can’t survive if you don’t.

Honestly they can do whatever they want to with it because it’s their property.

Dude I take offense to your name! Unless your Japanese then it’s totally okay! But if you’re not grrrrr... cultural appropriation and what not...

Seriously. The butthurt is absurd.

How dare you use your right hand to take a piss, that is offensive to all left handers and ambidextrous people! You promised you were inclusive jeff, YOU PROMISED! NOOOOOOOO

I agree. Video games need more generic bald white space marines.

Too right. Sometimes, people really need to just take a step back and realize: Its a video game. your ment to have fun.

Yes, cats. They have amazing tensile strength in their spines, one saddle clamp to a special titanium cattail receiver and, boom, spinning cats powered bomber. They cruise at the speed of meow.
