it’s depressing and seemingly absurd at times, yes, but you have to consider that any ruling made can have repercussions in future cases. Court isn’t exactly the best place for tongue-in-cheek jest. While I’ll agree this is nitpicking, determining once and for all whether that “tuxedo vs naked Peely” remark was meant…

Amazon billing info, assuming they’ve linke their accounts, which most people with Prime will do since it gives you a free Twitch sub, no sense in not taking it. From my understanding also, Raids are a feature streamers can use to drag their viewers into another stream, right? that would mean the two users in question…

I’m baffled by the fact Twitch doesn’t know who its users are. With all the legal issues that could arise from running a platform where people can express themselves in all sorts of criminal fashions with little to no control (except if your neckline is a little lower than they approve), I’d expect a little more…

God damn… is the upskirt in that artwork really necessary? I mean WTF. This is why people get the messed up idea it’s OK to peek under and take a pic. It’s normalizing an issue that’s already very bad in Japan and elsewhere.

I’m especially concerned by the fact that this graffiti is unfinished. it would have been pretty rad.

These C&D banhammer strikes are especially disappointing when Nintendo’s offer isn’t even always better… Take Metroid 2, I was able to grab AM2R before it got the death ray and thought it was much, MUCH better than Nintendo’s 3ds remake. The melee counter mechanic really ruined it for me, it was unwieldy and finicky.…

So long as the two old guys in the balcony take jabs at the participants with awful puns every few boxes, I think that could work.

Is this the part where they announce Hideo Kojima was behind it all along?

Clearly, this was custom-made for Putin.

I’ve been MASSIVELY into NEO: The World Ends With You since it came out. It feels like the original title (in all its re-releases) finally reached the masses and gained the recognition it deserved, and that the timing is just about perfect for the sequel to come out. Whatever annoyances that existed in the original…

OR, you could stop playing in the dark at night and actually used proper room lighting, which is way better for your eyes in the long run.

I kinda imagined Mario wouldn’t have a boss, considering most plumbers are self-employed? But uh, yeah… Wrecking Crew’s not actually something most people will remember next to the Mario franchise which even non-gamers will recognize. No one younger than their late 30s is likely to have ever played Wrecking Crew.

There was a time when Kotaku editor in chief Brian Crescente left this here site to pursue a not-as-prestigious career over at Polygon, which was brand spanking new at the time. I’m pretty sure he’s gone now, but I miss the guy.

I’m on holiday, two weeks left, lots of home improvement work to do, but I also have a 3D printer (Elegoo Mars 2 Pro), and a pretty awesome dice tower to paint. I bought some plastic modeling primer and some acrylic paints, brushes, polymer clay and stuff. I’m determined to use some of those two remaining weeks to get…

That’s not a transformer, that’s GANDUM, the unicorn robot. I really don’t know anything about it, but GANDUM.

I’m going to take a wild guess and suppose that women leaving the company en masse probably fostered more hostility towards them from the guy, like a vicious circle. Assholes like that are good at creating self-fulfilling prophecies like “Women are unreliable at work”, making their life miserable, watching them leave…

Isn’t there an article on Kotaku that you keep bumping up every year over and over for Christmas to basically let people know to set up the consoles BEFORE you gift them to your kids? Updates, account creation and all that, so that they can enjoy it immediately after unboxing?

So, uhh, assuming a general video game ban, what of Genshin Impact? It’s pretty much China’s crowning achievement in terms of worldwide-successful video games that aren’t terrible knockoffs.

That TV experience you had after the lightning strike is very interesting. It’s surprising it didn’t suffer any more damage, but it definitely sounds like a problem that’s related to how analog signals were processed by NTSC circuits.
