NY dems got their shit rocked specifically because they were too busy trying to get cute and fight progressives like AOC rather then, you know, field candidates that voters wanted to elect.

Trump spent how many days on the golf course while in office?

Yes, her playing league on her own time for years is definitely a “how do you do fellow gamers” and not that, and hear me out here, she might actually play games?

Lol , “I don’t know jackshit about someone and will totally spit on his name as much as I can because I bought into the disinformation about him”.

Anyone who watches Pewdiepie actually knows that he is super chill and down to earth. He is a minimalist person, reviews philosophy books, shows us Japan with utmost…

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

“All hail the new king I guess”

“He told me he had a hit list of five guys who he did not feel were worthy of the word murderer because of who and how they killed,” Boyle said.

I’ll start this by saying that anyone is free to feel insulted by whatever they feel insulted by. But I - an Asian-American living in a third world country - really think this criticism is stretching a bit.

I agree with the classic cyberpunk tropes and orientalism especially with the hats (“Get it? These are Asian robots...”), but I’m not so sure the developers had an obligation to explain the history. Sounds like the choice for the location was very much inspired from the perspective of a cat. It’s also a fictional…

This just in! Once again Kotaku nitpicks a game everybody seems to love!

I want an AI represented by a stocky, indifferent Slavic woman.

The problem is, people prefer female AI.  Both men and women routinely prefer female voices for all kinds of virtual assistants.  Part of this is no doubt tied up in cultural factors and sexism, but the physics of sound also matter (higher pitched voices are more intelligible, especially through interference).

Lost cause. “Sex sells” didn’t become a cliche for no reason. Same with “If it bleeds, it leads” in the media. You’d have to fundamentally change human behavior to avoid this pitfall.

“And then I remembered one of my old SPs doesn’t work anymore. So I got to work.”

I feel like I need some of these to be pronounced out loud in a video to better understand the nuance

Best Kotaku article I’ve ever read, along with a valuable life lesson.

So...a big ol’ no comment on everything.

Go dance with the angels!

did these game always take themselves this seriously? or is it just the trailer? i’ve never actually played this franchise, but at first this trailer pulled me in, the planes look gorgeous. then when the “princess” stuff kicks in halfway through it just makes me think of battlefield / COD setpiece campaigns, now i’m…

It’s neither of those, now. They’re not spawning power ups, but they’re not map objects either. You now get battlepoints as you play, which you use to spawn as more powerful units, heroes, and vehicles.

Kind of like Call of Duty. Not my ideal, but much better than BF2015.
