Their ads are so fucking bizarre! Like past the point of being off-putting and back into the realm of almost laughing with not at them. It’s like they found an ad agency in southern India that would do it for $200, and the dev went all in.

I admit to making a dumb joke in lieu of honing in on my actual point, which was that folks who say “it’s not going anywhere get used to it” are essentially soft-pedaling excuses for what may actually be very valid criticisms right now.

All these articles about AI failing at X feel like people complaining that the 300 baud modem is too slow, or that the Model T sucks because you have to hand-crank it first.

Let the record show Amy Jo Johnson remains to this day an amazing, awesome, and drop-dead gorgeous lady

Yes he’s clearly playing 4th (Reich) Dimensional chess, and we all played completely into his hands. The next step in his diabolical plan is to continue embarrassing himself for another 10-12 days with a worse PR response before we all completely forget about him again, thus completing 9/10 of the last, most-genius…

Oh so it’s our fault. We did... something. At some point.

Let me be more clear: this whole take is absolutely idiotic and childish. It’s the mentality of kids sharing a test key and trying to cover their own ass. It woefully misunderstands what journalism is and what legal teams do.

If you really truly believe that without Kotaku’s reporting every fan project all over the…

We’ve seen time and time and time again that it’s not until something Nintendo related gets coverage on mainstream video game news sites that Nintendo takes action (often in less than 24 hours). It’s happened with every single fan remake of a Nintendo game, and it’s happened with every Nintendo emulator.

Only if they legitimately have no assets. Part of the bankruptcy arrangement would be to set aside as much in assets as possible towards repayment, after necessary expenses, etc.

The “in perpetuity” sounding nature of the court order also makes it sound like there may be a fund set aside in case of further damages,…

Except Nintendo’s lawyers probably do more than read Kotaku

A Frog standalone game (Robo can come, too)

Exactly. Honestly it would be nice to see like an “A Squad” that gets paid $25+/hr to work lunch and dinner rush, as it would get rid of a lot of disincentives to not bother with retaining staff while also helping get rid of the (very purposefully instilled) stigma against fast food jobs that they are unskilled and “an…

Doesn’t surge pricing compensate Uber and Lyft drivers more during times of peak usage? Seems like the incentive of encouraging drivers to log in during that time was a large part of the whole point...

Comment of the week for sure

yes but clicks

No. There must be more shit. We’ve told execs we like the things from the IP. The things must now all be spaced out by a factor of 10 and then they must be swimming in a sea of shit. This expands the IP’s value. Once it’s exhausted what else will they suck the life from to make money?

I liked doing stupid grindy things…

This is like writing an article in 2011 saying “After Rebecca Black’s smash hit “Friday,” Taylor Swift better come out swinging!”

Barring an absolute miracle, Palworld will be a footnote or a snarky meme reference in T-minus 6 months once the player base dwindles to .0001% of its current peak. Just because game website…
