You got to love the double standards of claiming machines aren't human so can't create art and then crying for a robot. Either humanise them or dehumanise them. Pick a lane Plunkett.

I hate NASA for making me care about a fucking robot so much.

How soon until we’ll get the same Tweet from Musk on Mars?

The problem is that those panels get covered in dirt because of the Martian winds.

You know that line from Contact - “They should have sent a poet”? There’s a poet at NASA who is working out their frustrations at not having been sent anywhere themselves by making the rest of us feel bad for the robot explorers that HAVE gone out there. God forbid that either of the Voyagers should die while this…

Hey Kotaku, Luke, Patricia, et al.

It isn’t even really broken. People are annoyed they don’t get to pubstomp every match and don’t seem to understand their connection issues are absolutely not universal. Maybe there’s a case to be made for the very top end ranked lobbies being a bit unbalanced but Respawn has always said they’re prioritizing queue…

It’s a great show, but I’ll never watch it because it gives me too real nightmares of working in restaurant kitchens. Some experiences never deserve to be relived.

This is like if Untitled Goose Game shifted to a JRPG at the halfway point where you now have to save the world from some ultra-powerful behind the scenes entity that had been manipulating the residents of Goosetown into its cult all along and you had to defeat him with QTE goose antics.

Maybe because they are paying far more, as a percentage of their income, for rent/mortgage, utilities, and student loans than prior generations?

We need something like gaseous floating robot blimps that we’re physically incapable of reaching. Then once they’re out of reach, they can be sexy because it’s not a problem. 

I had a rather deep-but-also-shallow conversation with a friend not so long ago, and we ended up agreeing on/with the idea that AI that are not specifically meant to titillate should probably not be human. Clippy was ahead of his time. It sounds like a joke, but we will only avoid popularly sexualizing AI when their…

Exactly. How many different sources does Shake Shack get their inventory from?

This, but also, I like how nobody realizes that these have become the old ways and that we should always strive to improve ourselves and our hearts. We all want love and acceptance. We're social animals.

It’s less about “this story MUST have themes” and more “dear god please people, we’re begging you, develop the vocabulary and skills to allow yourself to engage with the media you love on a deeper level.”

I think *everyone* should take at least some intro level critical reading/film course once in their life. And on…

It’s not afraid of an ascendant tech powerhouse Japan ruining America, it’s afraid of an ascendant Japan ruining Japan.

This is stupid and pointless. Y’all have to stop writing these bad filler pieces that don’t say anything at all.

Do you really believe nobody orders Domino’s in the day? That only drunk/stoned people order it late at night? Because that’s what the article says.

You could literally write this same tripe about any food.…

“For [cyberpunk] to be effective, I find that it needs to draw on something about now because I don’t think that Gibson and [Bruce] Sterling were writing about the future. I think they were writing about the moment they were in,” Martin said. “We should continue to make cyberpunk work about the moment we’re in, not…

Serious question: have you played any of the modern cyberpunk games you criticize, Isaiah?

Because they all do this. Every. Single. One.

Citizen Sleeper sounds like a lovely game. But this article loses the plot often when it tries to make an authoritative statement on cyberpunk, as it’s clear the author hasn’t read…
