Depends on how much he’s in the game, I suppose. They also gave an explanation for his muteness in BotW.

I wonder how news media and documentary’s get away with it. 

They’re not edgelords. They aren’t meme-ing or playing a game. This isn’t a troll.

They believe these things. Always remember that, and treat them that way.  

Yeah that’s what i was thinking...I mean the more cheat codes cost currency which viewers had accrued by either watching him or giving him money. If a veiwer wanted to get back the currency they would either have to watch more streams (give him viewers) and/or donate give him money.

Considering that last week’s (old) comic showed her in both pre and post transition designs and Kotaku regularly reposts older comics I think it’s fair to say that most readers remember that she used to identify as male. I wouldn’t say it’s important that we remember, though.

Added to what CaptainJack said, there was also supposedly some guy that was popping up in the middle of videos giving suicide tips--not telling kids to commit suicide, but telling them how--and that got wrapped up in with the Momo Challenge.

I did research on this to show other people at my school that they are totally inept and found that it was being blown way out of proportion. There was no evidence of some of the accusations happening, but the one video I came across didn’t show it happening in a kids video. Furthermore, most of the accusations didn’t…

That’s because it never existed. Mass hysteria at its absolute best (worst?).

My daughter saw some thing on Roblox about it, the imagery was enough to make her scared to sleep on her own one night (she’s 7) . She’s not dumb enough to hurt herself just because some moron on youtube tells her to, but that momo thing was definitely nightmare fuel for kids.

Trying to understand the latest vaguely defined “cyber” threat that your local PTA is worked up about is the real Momo Challenge.

The articles seem split. Some reference Momo and other creepy images put into YouTube videos to tell kids to hurt themselves (which no one has been able to prove and YouTube says doesn’t exist). The rest reference WhatsApp where someone is cyberbullying kids into escalating acts of violence and hurting themselves by…

The myth was that hackers were making the Momo face pop up over video games and youtube videos (but only magically when adults weren’t watching), and the face would tell them to do various things, progessively more disturbing, ultimately suicide.

Since the fears, there have been a few hacked together videos where the…

As the sole dude in my gaming group that still plays The Sims fairly often, having spent hundreds of hours designing party mansions and studio bedroom starters, living out my fantasies of being a millionaire artist, I don’t think “Dollhouse Sim” is that inaccurate. Can we take a shot at this from another angle? I…

On the one hand, I’m glad this is in Retro’s hands now.

...on the other, the wait is going to be a long one, it seems.

Ah well.  Not as if we’re without a ton of stuff coming out over the next couple of years.

We could get Nintendo to add Jason as DLC but then he’d probably never actually get released. 

We need a cross-distribution-platform game licensing hub, like UltraViolet and Movies Anywhere. Buy one place, use anywhere. (And fuck Movies Anywhere for causing studios to outright drop UltraViolet support.)

I don’t know man, these replies are pretty gawdamn ugly and steeped in the stereotypes of “fake gamer girl”.

Yep - I'll be getting this to play with my 6-year-old. I have the feeling she'll really appreciate the co-op aspect, especially.

Using score as a metric is the most obvious thing to do for an AI, but it’s not actually how humans operate otherwise we’d all be exploiting games to rack up crazy high scores without ever progressing.

Or a year before launch.
