There were so many nobodies in the list above I was actually embarrassed for Akwafina and Chris Evans. 

Very true. With the diffusion of entertainment audiences there are few cultural touchstones left for people to bond over discussing.  Maverick is the first movie in forever that fits that description, then there are a handful of TV shows (Better Call Saul the main example) and that’s about it.

The estimates I’ve seen have found that it would take at least $100,000 and up to $500,000 to fully upgrade your character. Or, if you want to play the game exclusively “free”, you would need to sink anywhere from 10-20 years of continuous play to do it. 

It inarguably is Pay2Win, but the Pay2Win element is pretty delayed (and is about the gems, not the other gear elements), so its unsurprising that you haven’t felt it yet if you haven’t been playing 24-7. I’d definitely agree it’s an extremely strong “made for mobile” experience, but the monetization is deeply…

For all the primo coverage on Blizzard’s latest money-grab, er,  game, goto http://www.Kotaku.shill

Paid by Blizzard to post this side article aside, the game itself is fun and enjoyable. What isn’t fun is the charging price for aesthetics in a mobile based game. How important is it for you to have a character with emissives plugged in to their shaders? Thirty dollars? The game wants you to spend money so much that…

Hmm.

BAD TAKES, GET YER BAD TAKES HERE! TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE!

“Diablo Immortal Is Far Too Good To Be Free”

Bullshit. Any game this has to push micro transactions this hard is a MAJOR red flag.

The moment this game was announced, there was feedback. Majority negative but regardless any feedback is helpful.

What did they do with this feedback, they decided to nickel and dime their…

I encourage folks to check the mattress in EVERY hotel, budget or pricey, for bedbugs. Pull the bottom sheet off and visually examine the corner and seams of the mattress for what appears to be rust. If you find any of it, insist on another room - and then check that mattress, too. If you find it in that one, go to…

Ah, the ultimate FU to your friends: the destination wedding.....

Apparently embedded reddit links look like ads, I am an idiot for looking for hotlinked text per usual.

Tbh I assumed it was yet another ad. I don’t even register them at this point so it was pretty easy to overlook.

OK, guess I’ll got to r/idiotsincars and try to find the original video myself.

Texas is actually old Florida, before Florida became, you know, FLORIDA. Sometime in the 1980s the ascendancy of Florida man was complete and America’s penis became the bastion of batshittery you see today, but before that Texas was a strong contender. 

Patton Oswalt has an old bit on this subject: “’You’ve gotta respect everyone’s beliefs.’ No, you don’t. That’s what gets us in trouble. Look, you have to acknowledge everyone’s beliefs, and then you have to reserve the right to go: ‘That is fucking stupid. Are you kidding me?’ I acknowledge that you believe that,…

>”And what do you even tell a prospective partner about your current living situation without feeling bad about yourself?”

If the somehow just ADD the damn line it would generate an extra 100 mil... Morb-FACT!

I think you’re an edge case. Most console gamers are console gamers because they prefer console gaming, even when PC gaming is objectively better in most ways. For example, the existence of CoD on PC doesn’t stop the majority of players from buying it on consoles.

I thought this was the whole point of all apps anyway.
