Sorry, but shoving a microphone in the face of a close friend/loved one to ask “hey what happened to this person I’m trying to monetize the tragedy of?” the day they die is a shitty thing to do.

By harassing a grieving friend for more information on something that has already been confirmed by others close to the deceased? Okay dude

SQW is only an insult if you think our culture/society requires change or is severely flawed.

I don’t care about streaming, and I don’t know any of the people in this article. I have no dog in this fight. I just want to ask one question: Am I reading correctly that this Dariani fellow asked a woman twice if she wanted to have a threesome, she declined twice, and he left her alone after that? And that’s the…

You come off like the fun police

That was not my interpretation of the card at all. It sounded more like a mad scientist trope. It seems like we’re just trying to find things to be mad about. 

Given the general reactions I’ve seen around the net the last 24 hours, I don’t think that’s the case this time. I also don’t think it’s purely homophobes or gamergaters either. The first game resonated emotionally with a lot of people and it’s hard to watch characters you grew to love outright suffering.

As a data scientist/statistician , I really don’t understand the hatred for Metacritic. Averages can be a good way to orient oneself when exploring data and trying to understand an underlying process. It’s only the first step but it’s still a useful metric. The problem occurs when people rely too much on one number…

Good to see y'all are still cancel culture assholes at Kotaku.

No one has to bow down to an ideaology. BLM is many different things and it’s fair to not agree with some ideas they adopt. BLM are well within their right to do their thing, but the idea that everyone must just bend the knee to a movement or they’re ostracized is terrifying, and if you dont think so then you might…

I think that’s a nice sentiment, but I also think it’s naive.

What about the cops that save children from abusive homes? Surely there’s a special place in hell for them because those children should just be beaten to death in peace, right?

Coming in with the hot take that’s going to piss a lot of people off, but fuck it -

They wrote this story years ago, the game has been in development hell for a very long time. So the story itself isn’t particularly insensitive (probably). Tweeting about THAT right now is intensely, stupidly insensitive though and I hope they feel ashamed and foolish.

are you really this dumb? 

It is in ways a little messed up that within the corporate world there is a heavy-handed mentality of guilty-until-proven-innocent. When a company submits a DMCA claim, the accused is presumed guilty and their content is immediately suspended/removed and the onus is on the accused to prove their innocence.

“We are releasing a brand new quest which will be endlessly boring and repetitive that only a small portion of our players will be able to slog to completion for a forgettable reward. Don’t forget to buy the new season pass!”

I’ll probably be buried with my season 1-12 DVDs, but clicking on Disney+ is a lot easier than putting a DVD in.

This seems like everything I’m looking for in a game right now: something I can click away at while a show is on or while my five year old watches Cars 2 for the tenth day in a row, and also something I can play with said child that isn’t the goddamn LEGO games (which I like fine, but if I’m going to absentmindedly…

Like Stadia’s going to exist until 2021.
