Absolutely devastated. He was not having a good time the past few years, and so this is a bummer of a conclusion to a bummer of a story that he and his family tried to make the best of. I cannot imagine how much worse things would be if not for the insurance available through Kotaku, which even then he encountered…

You’re moving the goalposts. The article contextualizes aspects of the Hadozee lore that strongly evoke minstrel shows. Some people in the comments are trying to argue that minstrel shows were obscure, so making the connection is a stretch. The person I’m replying to is arguing that minstrel shows were NOT obscure and…
Yes this. Minstrel shows were the predominant form of touring entertainment from the mid 19th century up until the 1910s, when things shifted towards vaudeville which was definitely heavily influenced by minstrelsy and infused with its ideas (in combo with music hall and Yiddish theater). Imagine multiple generations…
Tell me: why are we so blind to see
that you should never pay above MSRP
I missed the part of the sales process where, before I sign, I slide a sheet of hitherto unmentioned discounts that chip away at the agreed upon price. Because dealers sure as fuck do that with markups. It’s almost like they can hide behind a veil of business practices and hold massively unequal power compared to the…
The bottom line is it’s really gross, to me, that Disney knew this was going to be a trilogy yet completely didn’t bother with actually writing out any sort of three movie arc. You get the feeling that a lot of plot in TLJ was made/recalibrated in editing and that the whole script was being rewritten up to the day of…
I will say one thing: after hearing all of the deeper allegations, I definitely will not be voting for Hunter Biden in 2024. </irony>
Seems like a great way to introduce weak components into a device that normally has zero moving parts (other than maybe an internal fan). I do worry that those levers or cinch straps or what have you that bend the shape won’t feel so kindly towards the monitor’s owner after a few years of use.
That fucking thumbnail. Absolutely zero shame god help us.
I explicitly said “the represented existence of an entire swath of people”
Pride flags represent a demographic of individuals. The mod removed the flags so that the modder et al wouldn’t have to see images of that representation. This shit is pretty simple to understand if you read the words in the sentences, but go…
Yes that was the meaning of my statement good job
“it’s like barging into someone’s home and throw shit at them for what they are drawing or writing in their diary”
Seconded. A more-honest version of the statement from the intro lede would read “The director who revived Final Fantasy XIV says that the series isn’t adapting being adapted well to new trends.”
Oh god I really want to see mockups now of dating scene framegrabs with Jessie and Badger and Saul. Jessie’s date would be at the defunct fun center, naturally.
They put a lot of effort into the accuracy of those crunchy 9-bit DAC samples. It’s almost as good as the arcade!
Like most cheat codes, they’re in all likelihood there to help developers debug stuff or in some cases playtest. Being able to control the opponent as player 2 might be a fairly involved thing to program in, but you can imagine the benefits of being able to test against specific attacks and punch patterns as input by…
Are you talking about parallel universes?
Related question: have any of those NSFW artists ever seen actual female human breasts? Just asking based on their depictions, which are um HEAVY on the artistic interpretation.
Did you read the article you’re talking about? https://kotaku.com/what-i-learned-from-watching-a-great-deal-of-overwatch-1831462681
It’s barely critical of Overwatch porn and is mostly describing it as a thing that exists. It points out problematic white washing and an emphasis on certain body types, and it also…
