This was excellent. Thank you, Linda, and thanks to the people who organized this and Brennan Lee Mulligan.

A great story for labor day: working class people building community and standing in solidarity. For sure, life isn’t a movie, but it is poetic that the powerful sow the seeds of their own destruction by their inability to restrain their greed. I mean, it’s only comfort that keeps the average person from organizing…

Add item to hotbar by pressing ‘B’ on item in inventory, press number key to swap to item on hotbar. D-pad for controller.

it’s funny, not long after this pubbed i saw a video of someone explaining how to hot-swap weapons without going into the weapon wheel (on pc) and was absolutely shook ! i looked through starfield’s settings menu up and down, swearing i couldn’t find it but thinking it had to be in there somewhere because - as you put…

Apparently the Flower Kingdom is in an episode of the animated show from the 90s.

- guy from 1998

I’m seriously surprised that it took nearly 40 years of games for them to think of following up the Mushroom Kingdom with the Flower Kingdom

NickToons just started airing the original TMNT cartoon in order, so I’m definitely happy about that

You’re getting pushback because this feature is, well, silly, but in general you’re 100% right and it’s not a coincidence that the most popular game IPs today were launched either with no input from “e-sports” or streamer culture, or else before those things even really existed at all. The gaming world is so…

It’s probably fun the first few times before the novelty wears off.

My wife loves it, but made me beat the bosses for her.  Pikmin needs more to do for folks who dont want the stress of dying.

Really feeling lately like Kotaku is being kept afloat by only two writers and a robot.

However, tk who tk also proposed

I just finished this game yesterday after a week or so playing every evening.

Now I don’t know what to do with this emptiness. The concept is brilliant, the core loop is engaging and highly satisfying, and the game is probably the best i’ve played this year so far.

I kept seeing this game spoken of glowingly by people online but didn’t really know what all it entailed. This is a great write up, might have to pick this up in lieu of Diablo 4's season after yesterday’s trash fire of a patch
