Maybe it would be helpful to point out what, exactly, was “the most bizarre, unhinged thing anyone has ever heard”? That most people have and enjoy sex, and that’s why sexy games on Steam are popular? That the type of dudebras who love to neg Kotaku are also likely the type to complain about Aloy and Sonya Blade not…

Genuinely confused at the reactions by commenters who act like sex isn’t a thing 95%+ of adults do, including masturbation. BDSM isn’t my particular thing (and the header image makes me deeply uncomfortable, personally, because I wish it somehow indicated the character’s consent and I am also really TIRED of lolis…

The upcoming info dump on Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and other Pokémon games comes just in time as fans, desperate for new details, pour over a recent flood of alleged leaks for the earlier than expected Gen 9 entries.

Seconded. This art style looks like someone deliberately pushed the designs until they were nearly unrecognizable, then a studio exec gave them cough syrup and told them to go even further. It’s, like, designed to be ugly and assault the senses and piss people off. (April has really good poses, tho)

i think ive only seen people call him the turtle pope personally :(

Bah gawd you’re right. I guess I was overzealous in falling in love with Hannah Gadsby’s pedantry.

This is a classic narcissistic abuse technique. Make you seem like the bad guy for holding them accountable. We have to walk on eggshells for their pwecious ego. It’s not like the actual victim of threats has anything to feel upset about...

I’m sorry you don’t want your pixels to ≋d≋a≋n≋c≋e≋

I love that the NFTs only pay 2.25% of their total value to Gamestop, just like it’s trade in credit

“But sadly, a gun was used on Ashli Babbitt, with no price to pay against the person who used it!”

This has strong “ape holders can use multiple slurp juices on a single ape” vibes

Thank you for the validation from inside the industry!

It sounds like Sega cynically thought they could ask Headcannon to do a simple port and be done with it lickety split, with no regard for how stupid that magical thinking was or how much human suffering a tight deadline would cause, regardless of the level of complexity of the project.

Also, considering how much the…

I’m in the marketing and PR realm. I cannot emphasize how much these tweets are a trajectory-altering decision for Simon Thomley’s career and the entire Headcannon studio’s future prospects. When you’re a contractor/vendor/services provider, you don’t come out and say scathing things against a contracting client…

We’re 100% on the same page with all the things you just said in this 2nd comment, but in the context of the headline vs. the content of the article, let me ask one simple question: Were you not curious to see how someone powerful got fired for looking at porn? This is all about expectations set by the headline…

I was admittedly lazy with my source, but the assertion I was trying to make is that “it happens”. That’s based on my own personal observations of how people act in professional environments and my observations from reading and hearing how certain illicit actions (particularly by executives) are ignored if they happen…

You can also note the time I did use the word “should” which was at the end when I said “all creep moves should be fireable offenses”. THAT was a moral adjudication, and it had the subtext that many many many many people DON’T get fired for harassing their co-workers and subjecting them to weird pervy experiences,…

Also, I didn’t say it SHOULDN’T be a fireable offense. I was inferring it likely WASN’T. What I meant by that is: I’m sure there are many many executives out there who have been told to “cut that out” by IT or HR after their browsing history turned up some, shall we say, indiscretion as opposed to them being fired on…
