If you haven’t noticed, Kotaku is more than just a review site of luxury items and consumer products.  Including social perspective is kind of the thing they do.

I mean

Kotaku isn’t a news organization. It’s a blog. Different writers having different voices is considered a feature, not a bug.

That’s not the vibe that I got from the end of the article at all. It was meant to reassure those who can’t necessarily afford one for various reasons that they don’t need to make further sacrifices to get one. It’s a wonderful product, sure, but as he said, it’s not going anywhere. If you are in a good enough…

Deal with it 

“but they’re surrounded on all sides by people that would very much love to wipe them off the face of the earth, for no other reason than because they’re Jews. Israel is in a perpetual cold war state with every single one of its neighbors.”

Already seeing the “any criticism of Israel is anti-Semetic” crowd setting up shop in the grays. Never mind that we’re talking about actual military issues and the idea of using gaming devices as weapons of war.

This game is many things to many people. For me, the grind to pay off all your debt is not fun. I made millions selling Turnips, paid off my debt, and that does not ruin the game for me, because it unlocks unlimited infrastructure changes (moving houses, building bridges, etc.). To me, the game is about collecting and…

Maybe this makes me a bad person, but at this point I’m just following Fallout 76 news for the entertainment value.

This really isnt a hard discussion.. It starts and ends right here.

“Livanart herself says in this Facebook video that she spoke with “some black people” while making the suit, heard their concerns then went and did it anyway”

i dont even play it and im intrigued

I don’t play Fortnite but God-gamn their end of season events cool. I wish other games did stuff like this. 

I haven’t played Fortnite in over a year (and really only played STW when I did), but even as a bystander I really do enjoy the amount of production value and very impressive technical effects they employ in these events.
