insert Shia Labeouf “JUST DO IT”

I guess they went with “fans want more of the same”… The main title theme is only slightly renewed, the character starting classes are all identical, the character names’ first letter spell out OCTOPATH, the art style, typo, menu and gameplay is pretty much identical.

Damn, and I thought I was having a shitty past few weeks... Mike has had it rough for years. He truly was the heart and soul of Kotaku, and kept being so despite his reduced presence following his aortic dissection. I really wanted to believe he would get better and be allowed to move on with a healthy (though…

I actually got the Noble Slender Sword extremely early, it was one of my first new weapons. I had no idea it was a rare drop. I used it for a while until I got another enchanted weapon I liked to use better. It’s a good sword, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to get it, there are much better, flashier, more…

Hmmm, I don’t know, if they do introduce Gandalf this early, it would really go against the source material… Gandalf and the Istari arrive in the world very late in the Silmarillion.

You mean Uniques. Elites are the blue ones which are generic and can more or less randomly replace any normal enemy. Uniques leave a gravestone behind which you can check to challenge them again, and they act as fast travel points.

Challenge accepted.

Why are people afraid that having an attraction to someone who isn’t obviously strictly cisgendered of opposite sex will make them gay? This raises a lot of questions to me:

I’m guessing the implication is that he doesn’t know what the conditions to open the door are, but it’s open for him so he can go back and check again?

You speak of it like this era’s over. Is it really? doesn’t seem like that to me.

The Switch is perfectly respectable. I’m happy I got a PS5, but I still play my Switch more, the games are pure gold.

I’m really bothered by reviews that go “HURR DURR dem graphics aren’t graphicsy enough because the Switch is old and can’t do grafx, because gurfix are the berst”. I would prefer a million times over a game that is enjoyable with OK graphics than an OK game with fantastic graphics. Like, really, is it truly acceptable…

Sure bro, you know better. Uh-huh.

Your question was “if PDFs are so insecure, why do so many businesses use it for everything?”. I believe I answered that question to the dot: No other file format provides all these business critical features in one package with this high level of portability.

Hi I’m a graphic designer and digital printing operator (soon to move on to a new career). PDF, while initially pitched by Adobe with Acrobat, is developped as a consortium today. It is so widely used because of its ability to accurately encapsulate print-ready documents along with all the components they need to be…

There’s little reason for alarm here, the better SSD is bottlenecked elsewhere anyway. Lower the bar and they both perform equally. Valve’s approach of production line redundancy and multiple supply sources is extremely common and really the best way to go to guarantee sufficient supply and timely delivery of their…

“We have carefully considered the ‘harassment’ report and have determined that we don’t actually care about its ‘findings’ or the ‘alleged’ ‘victims’. Also, Bobby’s pretty rad! How about we go and watch some beers and drink some titties in the break room?”

all that means is that the adventure (the story) is new. That makes no claims regarding gameplay mechanics, which is perfectly fine. People turn to Diablo sequels because it’s more Diablo and they expect more Diablo gameplay and either want to experience more of the same or discover what the hype is all about. Things…

Duke Nukem really hasn’t aged well in the post-metoo era… I mean, Duke Nukem 3d was about a testosterone-heavy jock with guns and rocket launchers saving hookers, stripers and pole dancers from alien invaders while smoking and swearing and generally acting offensive (like taking a dump down a decapitated alien’s…

Some electronics stores here are testing mini-shops intended as pickup points for online orders with wider opening hours, but fewer on-site items. These require much fewer staff to operate and much smaller building surface, so the costs are drastically reduced and it offers a certain level of service to people who…
