“...and gives a fuck about everyone else.”

Jack was human, right? She was great. 

Mention of slower than typical news day.

Double post.

Double post.

Dad joke using wordplay on subject.

Comment that was posted more than 20 minutes after the article was published, dooming it to a life of low engagement regardless of quality. Comment constructed with a desperate, forlorn urgency of someone on their last scratch-off and five hundred dollars short on rent. 

Acknowledgement that this post serves to entertain no one but its author

Smart ass comment about Jason Schreier is yet again the main source of the article and how he left Kotaku.

comment that thinks it will be the last, but alas

Obligatory comment thanking author for not making this article a fucking slideshow. 

Comment that directly mirrors someone else’s, because OP couldn’t be bothered to lurk to see if the exact same opinion hadn’t been voiced sooner before hitting “Reply”.

To answer your question I do not know if it is referencing anything specific, however the whole article is a meta post. It’s just satire of how gaming articles are written now Kotaku and other gaming news sites, and the whole thing is pointing out some of the fallacies of modern blog “journalism”.

Picture of Michael Jackson Eating Popcorn to indicate I feel one of these replies is edgy and will likely cause an argument.

Pithy comment just hoping someone will notice me for a few seconds to push down the ever present sadness in my life so I can feel the rush that I matter for a few brief moments

Comment that is fine, giving you your damn star.

Post that contains only the most tenuous relation to the article meant to demonstrate how my self image and sense of worth is founded upon being an expert in obscure intellectual property the near total of the world will live their entire lives being blissfully unaware of.

Comment that make a jokey play on words fishing for a “Here’s your star!” follow-on comment.
