They already flooded r/smashbros, not that that place isnt toxic as shit already. Plus, you know they have whole subreddit dedicated to “policing” kotaku. So they will be here.

True, but people said the same about Duck Hunt, remember.

I’m a huge fan of the Castlevania series, and if they had to pick one to represent it, a Belmont is a better fit.

I *love* Alucard, and even Soma Cruz for that matter, but someone wielding the Vampire Killer is so iconic that I’m happy Alucard even made it in as an Assist Trophy.

I am jazzed as hell for the Adventure mode and Spirit stuff.  

There’s just no pleasing some people.

I like Smash ok, but I really fucking hate the fanbase. This game has literally every Smash character ever, plus a decent amount of new ones, and they’re still constantly disappointed by every single announcement.

Wow, who would have guessed that in the year 2018, taking a Bigfoot-quality picture with a modern smartphone that somehow comes out blurry, zoomed-out, and largely indiscernible would turn out to be a fake?  WHO INDEED WOULD HAVE GUESSED THAT?  If only there were some sort of precedent that blurry, bad photos are…

How perfect would it be if after all of this, Nintendo has no plans to put Isaac in Smash and instead announces a new Golden Sun...but for the 3DS. 

Ayy gender

Cause trans people’s lives aren’t hard enough. Fuck, leave them alone.

What a super cool way to insult Metal Gear AND Silent Hill fans!

Thanks, Konami...go fuck yourself.

She was never, ever, ever, ever, EVER by any metric or any definition ever punk. Ever. Nevr. Nope. Nope. Nope. She was a bratty little kid from the fucking sticks with major eyeliner and serious penchant for posing. She was and remains a Poser. Not Punk. Don’t besmirch Punk.

I’m just so disappointed that this article didn’t begin “Avril Lavigne isn’t dead--she’s born again.” It was RIGHT THERE! 

In the field of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people of low ability have illusory superiority and mistakenly assess their cognitive ability as greater than it is.

Neither. They don’t fucking care. This whole “don’t feed the trolls” stuff doesn’t work on them because they are not trolling.

Well I think we’ve reached the point where unironically using the term “SJW” reveals you as an intellectually lazy idiot to mostly anyone who doesn’t already agree with you. Which is probably the reason for this apparent new shift in terminology: its social capital has probably run out at this point, at least for the…

The idea that shit posting on 4chan and believing virulent versions of the prejudices that your great grandparents believed - this somehow qualifies as awakened and authentic thought?

“I have some quibbles with Rowling’s world building—how does magic work, exactly?”

And yet more reasons why I can’t fucking stand most gamers (or at least the most vocal ones) these days. Yes the launch was rough, yes I haven’t liked everything they’ve done with Sims 4, but the fucking entitlement and belief that not getting a media product the way you want it excuses literal death threats, doxxing,…
