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…

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…

Right, we should go back in time to where companies pre-made shit hoping for the best and either losing their asses on physical media or having to second hand sell it overseas at a loss. Or we could live in 2023 and buy things digitally and understand that all the plastic tat shit that we own doesn’t go with us when…

Nothing is for everyone, so what’s your fucking point? Moron.

Why would anyone in 2023 be buying physical media? It’s shit for the environment, it’s shit for the content creators, it’s shit for the consumer, and you don’t “own” it anymore than you do with digital storefronts. Grow the fuck up. I love that scalpers are fleecing chumps that still wants muh disk. I hope they do it…

I don’t care what JK’s feelings are on anything and she already has generational wealth that isn’t going anywhere so to even think about boycotting her IP is laughable. I doubt any of the people that hate her have actually read or thought about her points, some of which I agree with and some I don’t. Trans is a choice…

Accusations aren’t facts.

More cancel culture bullshit. I was in the Army for four years and most of the people I met were good people that wanted to serve their nation or didn’t want the college route and ended up with good careers making decent money with good benefits. The idea that the US military is some rape factory just factually isn’t…
