This is covered on Kotaku and they clarified that the motion only applies to business that directly relates to WeChat, not any of the other activities of Tencent. Tencent could retaliate by pulling the plug on their game company assets and/or dragging their business back to China, though.

that is both  disgusting and epic though I’m not sure in which proportions 

Hey, Aladdin was great, on both consoles. I beat both. The Lion King can eat maggots for all I care, though.

hot damn, I need to make some beef bowls at home. I’ve got an asian rice cooker too, and good rice is at least half of what makes a great japanese meal. going to look up some recipes

Funny that you mention that scrolling habit... I used to scroll through Kotaku’s articles endlessly, but then Jim Spanfeller took over and rather than having infinitely scrolling articles, we now have some ad-invaded articles followed by infinitely scrolling clickbait trash article ads. That’s a good way to stop…

Announcing announcements. I hate that. especially when they hint at stuff that could be practically anything. “Developer X is working on a project!” I mean, I’m sure they are, they should all be working on something or risk losing their livelyhood...

I, for one, am looking forward to Chipmunk Gaïus.

I mean... Metal Gear Solid pachinko kinda made the whole pachinko experience look bad... they deserve it.

Dreamcast mostly relied on having a weird-ass GD-ROM disc format packing more data than a standard CD, which would make it impossible to reproduce with a home burner, though games that fit on a standard CD could easily be duplicated as long as you had some means to pull the data off the original disc (most commonly,…

Holy crap, that’s immediately number one on my must-watch list. Finally I’ll be able to share this with my wife in some form (she’s not otherwise into video games much apart from FFXIV)

Driving a bike with even one phone would be considered a dangerous distraction and illegal in many countries. This man’s fearless.

There’s a bit of that, yeah... I think the overall silhouette of characters is representative of the studio’s usual character designs, but the rendering is wrong somehow... it would feel better if it were closer to cell-shading than photorealistic lighting and mismatched textures on models that are clearly drawn from…

I am not digging the art style... there’s something jarring about the textures, where the hair looks like it’s die-cast epoxy resin, some clothes look ultra-realistic and others are just flat. The faces in particular look like every element is just a flat texture drawn on a flat model, with the 3d lighting not even…

Saying they want to support the black people of their community or black designers/creators is entirely off the mark, what about every other black person? Are these the only “good black people” whose lives matter and the others shouldn’t? Black lives matter, period. It’s not limited to those you know.

Have the eshop check whether the corresponding game’s installed? even with a physical version you get some installation, it sticks in the menu even if the cartridge isn’t inserted

Playing Xenoblade Definitive Edition now after binging through Xenoblade 2 a second time in New Game Plus (and actually spending about as much time as I did on my first playthrough despite being overlevelled, lol). I already played the original Xenoblade on Wii when it first released.

So Kotick earns 300 times what the average worker earns... I get that he’s the boss, leaders earn more because they keep things together and make it all work, or something, but anything more than 10x the average wage is just grossly fucking indecent and unnecessary. That’d still be half a million USD a year. I could…

I expect that in some parallel universe somewhere, Tetsuya Nomura is celebrated for his edgy designs of Sonic and its prolific cast of cringe worthy side characters.

There’s always room for participating in contests for the fun of it also. Square Enix regularly has gear design or furniture design contests for FFXIV on their forums, with the only rewards being an in-game item and the satisfaction of having your design included in-game. The difference here being that the contest is…

When I was studying graphic design in Montreal, one of the first few classes we had (literally in the first week) adressed the matter of design contests for the purpose of having the art included in commercial works, citing as an example a very successful French Canadian movie (Les Invasions Barbares), which used a…
