It’s not about having tried every dish in the world, it’s about being a food writer and not having had experienced some of the most iconic and common things in our culture. It’s not like people jump on you because you just had roasted pig genitals in the Philippines for the first time. You’re a 38 year old food writer…

As a Gen-X’er I don’t think it would have much effect. It didn’t really matter if me and my friends were single or not, we’d still get together pretty often, some of the faces just changed over the years as partners of my friends came and went. Marriage and kids sure as shit ended the party though.

That’s a stupid comment and not true at all, but you do you pal.

Same here, around 2010ish I just stopped going. Even the fun little neighborhood dive bars I used to meet my friends in started to just get too expensive. Two beers with just a decent tip cost more than a 15 pack. I can’t justify that no matter how much money I do or don’t have to spend. In the 90's and early 2000's…

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I tend to not like them because they’re just so heavy and dense that when they’re the star of a dish I feel like I’ve just eaten a concrete brick. That and they have very little natural flavor unlike so many veggies, fruits and meats that they often need more work to be tasty that…

You had me going until the last slide. AI isn’t going anywhere. I can’t speak specifically to ChatGPT, but AI will be the most significant invention in human history. I don’t know how anyone can judge Neurolink based on what little we know, but there are certainly legitimate applications. Nobody thinks twice about a…

A “physical copy” in 2023? ROFL! Enjoy.

It improves their motor skills so they can do tasks like search and rescue in a more efficient manner. That’s probably lost on someone who couldn’t do better in life than “game’s journalist”, but it is important.

A popular viewpoint sure to get you the likes. Also, fucking absolutely wrong and stupid. The US spends about 3% of it’s GDP on the military and that’s set to shrink over the next 10-ish years. Compare that to 5% on education and 18% on health care. I’m sure Ukraine wished it spent a little more on defense before last…

99% of the time, being fat is a choice and an unhealthy one. We don’t tell people to embrace being a heroine addict or an alcoholic, but we tell people to love being fat which kills more people each year than most other reasons combined. There’s no such thing as fat phobic, just a lack of respect for people that can’t…

Bethesda is a great example of this. Before they closed their forums, it was an easy way to get answers, interact with the community, and do bug reports which I did regularly for a variety of games, but mostly Fallout 76 as you can imagine. There were always the occasional toxic a-holes, but they were easily blocked…

The thing is, this is all very interesting if you ignore three essential points that make this whole article irrelevant. First, the pace of profits made from AAA games has far outpaced the cost of making them. Simply look at the last three GTA games on cost to make vs. profits. It’s a joke, each one increased the…

Valve abandoning the Half Life series is one of the biggest head scratchers in the industry. Not only not getting Half Life 3, but just abandoning the DLC for Half Life 2 and leaving the story in limbo for over a decade. My god man, just farm the thing out to another competent developer at this point, but to keep it…

Lady Carah, this is Kotaku. This is Luke Plunkett. They’re hacks that don’t care and steal paychecks. You don’t think he’s actually going to take the 10 seconds it would require to go to the game’s Steam page and check on the game’s status before incorrectly writing about it, do you?

I get that this may be implemented poorly, but I’m so sick of generation outrage crying about AI. It’s here, it’s continuing to grow, it isn’t going anywhere, it’s going to replace a ton of jobs, and absolutely nothing can or will be done to stop it. And since, as you pointed out, this isn’t AI, maybe you can town…

Do you do the same for any discriminatory body? If your local grocery store has a janitor in the back that you find out is homophobic, do you never shop their again? If you watch Disney movies and find out George Lucas was anti-semitic are we all supposed to boycott Star Wars? The problem with the unhinged attacks on…

I consider you fully human. You’re a full human born of one sex that wanted to transition to another and that’s great and I hope that all this right wing bullshit stops, but you aren’t the only group with rights. I have the right to the type of romantic relationships I want, I have the right to compete in athletic…

He’s not wrong that women have a right to their own spaces if they want them as well. A woman born a woman and a woman born a man are not the same thing by any measure other than a small extremist position that carries zero scientific value. It also isn’t fair with someone born with a man’s muscle mass to compete…

That wasn’t what she was saying.

Cancel culture has gotten as crazy and QAnon and the Trumpers in this world. I don’t take what she says as hate. I don’t agree with it, but people have to learn that it’s okay to not agree with someone else. I happen to think abortion is ethically wrong, but I support a woman’s ability to choose anyway because that…
