I love how there is only one single line that vaguely acknowledges the numbers listed don’t include tips.
Kotaku “journalism” strikes again.

Make interesting content, find an audience, get a lot of views. Formula isn’t that complicated. No big conspiracy here I can see.

I wonder whether the constant coverage of a specific set of female streamers leads to a shift in perception that ends up decreasing viewership for women as a whole

“We’re all good people!”

Here’s what was wrong with the Prowler:

Great article, basically sums up my feelings as well. While I didn’t have any awards shows lined up I did have all music gigs cancelled. This game was definitely a life saver for lockdown. I’m glad you mentioned managing expectations too. I definitely haven’t gotten various characters I wanted since I only do…

Genshin Impact is the perfect “second game.” It should rarely be the only thing you are playing at one time, or else you’re going to run out of things to do. I like that I can just log in for a few minutes and do dailies, then come back when there’s meatier content to address. It’s a system that works great for me,…

I gave the game a 0.0 review because they didn’t give me 40 free pulls, a free C6 Raiden, 2000 Primo gems daily for a week, and send a cosplaying Mona to my house to feed me chicken nuggies in bed like I am *goddamned owed* for the game having been released a year ago.

Aah, I love the smell of entitlement in the morning.

Genshin has been my comfort food / safe escape during the pandemic. It’s also quickly become one of my all time favorite games. I recommend it to anyone who hasn’t already tried it, preferably on console / PC. You can experience all of the story / world and have plenty of resources as free 2 play. I personally just…

People who complain about the lack of content are usually the people who rush through everything new when the game updates, I take my sweet ass time with everything GI has to offer, so I’m rarely ever out of stuff to do. There’s a shit ton of people complaining that the anniversary rewards are too small (I think they…

Remember: never preorder Pokemon games. Recall the quality of Sword & Shield. They couldn’t even be bothered to take the mouse pointer out of the credits sequence.

So... just gonna be blunt... the reason the internet likes Dimistrescu is she’s an attractive older woman who trips people’s size difference fetishes.

The Shogun is a great, strong, and versatile new character. And she is also the first Polearm actually worth keeping in your party. She even gives my maxxed out Fischl a run for the electric spot. This is dumb. Zhongli is the only 5-star so far that was truly underwhelming.

The thing is Beidou’s burst deals an extra lightning element damage effect on hit, and this will work on Raiden’s normal attacks. Their problem is that from beta to release, Raiden’s auto attacks after her burst are now considered a part of her burst, and no longer proc Beidou’s burst effect. This was actually a buff…

Oh look- the Chinese Government sponsored shill - I mean writer - has entered the arena.

Kotaku: “Please free me from these bad takes.”

Also Kotaku: “Now please read our bad take.”

No doubt my comment will never cease being “pending” as I doubt the author can take criticism.

When we aren’t talking about drugs, addiction is a social construct: a comparison of a behavior to a socially-defined norm. It’s generally an attempt to put politics under a sciencey label. See talk about things like Internet addiction in the US & the role of evangelical churches in these conversations. If the concern…
