Hey, Sport... WTF are RUGS? Also, as many have stated, you’ve done nothing to demonstrate the utility of NFTs in the gaming world. I’ve read all the comments in reply to your post, and they collectively amassed over 500 stars, next to your 5.

I second this. Also, I grabbed the soundtrack and it’s great to listen in the car!

I’ve seen people on Twitter requesting an “eat grapes” emote, which I’d love to see regardless of the polygon count, but I’m sure the blocky grapes would be just about right at that scale for the emote animation. Let’s see it happen!

Comparing the energy consumption of systems powering NFTs and SSL encryption is about as stupid as comparing glow sticks and penicillin manufacturing. Sure, both are products of chemical industry, there are factories working to create them, generating waste and energy costs in the process, but one of them saves lives.

Except it’s practically required for all websites to use SSL today due to the increased security it brings, and on a much more down-to-earth level for the tech unsavy, your browser will scream at you if you try to load a page that’s not protected with SSL encryption. SSL solves a problem in online communications. The…

Don’t get me wrong, I think Portal and Portal 2 are GOOD, insanely so, but neither should take away any laurels on the basis that they are not built on original ideas. Valve basically approached indie/junior developers and bought their concepts and slapped a coat of Half-Life and actual programming and design skill on…

But, but…. Slideshows mean you can put new ads on EACH SLIDE. Think of the money Kotaku’s losing over this! This extra cash could be invested towards Good Journalism™️

Omori has been on my radar for a while, If it’s coming out on Switch, that’s great news!

To be fair, live-action adaptations of manga and anime just about *never* work out. I’ve seen a fair share of those and I alays find that that original material is better in every aspect. Whether it’s handled by big-money megacorps like Netflix or produced by japanese TV networks, the results are always the same:…

Can’t wait for Sonic The Hedgehog 6 featuring Bigs the Cat, where Sonic kisses a human woman and there are way too many hedgehog side characters for any of us to care about. Production values will have likely declined enough by then than the cg animation will be full of clipping and stuttering.

glad to see that despite having so many of the Old Guard gone, the Kotaku Fish is still the nudity censorship norm around here. Traditions are traditions.

Sorry you’re somebody, then, because everyone else sure as hell asked for this at every occasion. Anytime the fanbase was asked for their opinions or questions, gender-locked esuipment would come up. It’s been this way since A Realm Reborn and possibly even during v1’s time, even before glamours were a thing.

With all those belts out of the way, they’re actually giving us more room for rings (and main hand weapons). I guess that picture explains why.

Why games get released in this sorry state is mostly just because of how corporate structures work. On one hand, you have a marketing team whose job is to precisely schedule and orchestrate the hype buildup so that it creates the most anticipation for the product at a time when the sales opportunities are at their…

Yup, that’s very Nintendo indeed :/

This looks a lot better than the Pikachu bouncy castle, although that one is apparently canon now?

England isn’t Europe, they actually voted on the fact that they don’t belong in the European Union and split, and even when they were part of it, they spent half their time arguing “but Englind isn’t REALLY Europe, like, we’re not on the continent, so can we get special treatment for everything?” Fuck off, England.…

Don’t worry though, a 69.99 USD game still costs 69.99 EUR here, so we get shafted by 12% every time

Welcome to the club. I love the Lockpicking Lawyer!

Both your currencies suck, my Euro is worth 1.12 of your USD, and 1.44 CAD and I can use it all over Europe.
