Try watching his standup before judging then? Sorry but you are the epitome of what he is trying to say in this special and doesn’t have to defend himself as such, at least not to someone that hasn’t taken the time to even view the content...

How many people that are mad at him actually watched it? Because Dave is clearly very pro trans rights. His “team terf” joke was bad, and hurtful and it seemed like he didn’t even understand what the term meant. Seems he thinks it simply means “believes gender is real”. But even then not as in trans genders are not…

He didn’t actually say anything offensive. Even though he said that he’s “team TERF”, he acknowledged the fact that the transgender community is having a human experience (people will also notice the tattoo on his hand that says human). Another point he made is that these so-called movements have a tendency to do harm…

you realize it’s standup right? you know, that whole “don’t take it seriously, i’m not actually gonna cum inside of a fishbowl” kind of shtick? how many times does he gotta come out and say he’s fucking joking. 

Whether you like it or not, this game is news, and Kotaku is a games news blog. So they should cover it. You don’t have to like it, but you also don’t have to read it.

I don’t think this is true at all. Pretty much every new TV these days is 4K. You get 4K TVs for a few hundred bucks. They’re already to the point of basically being commodities. We’re not in the early 2010s anymore - 4K is ubiquitous.

And really, what, exactly, would the Switch even use 4K for? Sure, the specs sound nice on paper, but the reality is that Nintendo largely does not produce high-fidelity games that require that kind of resolution

Look at this thread. Both versions of this story are filled with comments from people who want to know that she isn’t profiting from this “before they buy the game.” That’s not moral strength in the face of unacceptable behaviour. That’s whining and bitching from people with Gryffindor scarves and wands, hardcover…

She’s definitely a transphobe. That being said, what are you all hoping for? Are you seriously imagining a scenario where she licenses a multi-million dollar video game of her IP and somehow not get paid? Sack up. Either you say goodbye to Hogwarts in whatever form and actually stop buying the shit, or don’t, and stop…

Rowling’s views are bigoted, ignorant and hateful but they are still opinions. And people have the right to have their own opinions.

That said, your opinions should not and will not shield you from criticism and consequences.

Rowling is recieving a lot of blowback and absolutely should get more heaped onto the pile,…

Software engineer here (former gamedev, currently corporate). We mostly accept that crunch is a fact of life in software development (and a lot of other industries). Simply budgeting more time doesn’t work as a general solution because work tends to fill the available time without necessarily progressing further. Some…

In my experience:

Lets see, CDPR made sooo much money from the witcher 3, the best they ever have. What did they do, pay out bonuses, gave people time off, brought them all back to work on the next game.

This doesn’t seem like that big of a deal compared to what we normally hear about though. They’re having people work Saturdays for a while, which is a pretty normal thing for businesses when its needed. It doesn’t sound like they’re telling people they have to be there for 16 hour+ days or work 80+ hour weeks.

Jason does it again. His highest profile target yet

Is this satire? If not, yikes. 

Is there objective truth in our subjective realities? I think I’d agree with you here regarding how loaded all of our actions are and are dictated by societal structures, my only point was to say that there are plenty of people who do not see things through this paradigm. And, to them, politics is a much more limited…

I don’t think his comments were confusing at all. Especially with his other statements further clarifying the matter. To some people, the definition of politics means what its dictionary definition would claim it to be, and not something inherent to all of human interaction, as if it’s a force of nature or culture. …

The Dexit crowd was mad because the game looked largely the same as the 3DS titles even though the Switch is more powerful. Then they said they couldn't add in all the Pokemon, but for the ones they did add, they just took the animations from the 3DS. So, if they were just taking animations and sprites from the 3DS,…
