It’s got nothing to do with the film, she’s just bored by the ‘zany’ interviewer hoping she’ll reply with “WHATTTTT I KNOW IT’S WILD RIGHT” so he can use her shocked face on a thumbnail for clicks or find some other way to misinterpret her reaction to fit a sexier narrative. Like this headline does.

Stop trying to make “Church of Xbox” a thing

Troy Baker try not to be in every game challenge

It’s got absolutely nothing to do with AI. Text-to-speech has been used for placeholder audio in game development for many years, and it’s nothing to do with AI: it’s just simple software that follows set rules to replace text with sounds.

Who said I didn’t play them both? If it makes you happy, I had more fun playing Lego Dimensions than I do playing Lego Fortnite.

The best Lego game was Lego Dimensions, and an attempt by Epic to muscle into the Minecraft space isn’t going to change that for me.

Pretty sure those exist

For God’s sake, we get it. I hope her PR is making a lot of money, considering how much coverage they’re getting her.

Yup, the very same. Made those PS5 Darkplates and posted a link on Reddit with the caption “sue us, Sony”. Then Sony got in touch, and they had to pull them, saying they were “submitting to the terrorists’ demands” and adding “fuck Sony”.

I feel for Nelson, but it’s a bit rich of Dbrand to start throwing around lawsuits when their whole gimmick has been skating on the edges of big companies’ design copyrights and taunting their legal departments on their website.

The Xbox version will even include the entire Phantom Liberty expansion incorporated into the base game. (PS5 owners will have to download it during installation.)

I adore the NES and it’s easily among my favourite consoles of all time, but I hate this constantly repeated, commonly accepted belief that it “saved video games”. It’s such an America-centric telling of the story and just isn’t that accurate.

It’s not AI, it’s a journalistic technique handled sloppily.

Your point being? Yes, I’m playing it on Game Pass – whether you think that means I “paid for it” or not, my point remains: I’ve played a lot of it, so I’m able to determine whether in my opinion it handles microtransactions well enough. In my opinion it currently does, to the extent that a jump to free-to-play could…

As someone who’s actually played it instead of making assumptions, it’s actually surprisingly restrained with the microtransaction side of things, and it’s perfectly possible to play the game and its large selection of quests without any timers, DLC or anything like that. It’s so laid-back with it that I was worried…

Things got so heated that folks began boycotting events with partnered Nintendo orgs like professional esports outfit Panda Global.

Ummm... I appear to have missed Kotaku’s Starfield review? Not that I give half a shit about fanboy nonsense, unlike you – I own a PS5 and a Series X and love them both, so I have no dog in this fight – and I haven’t even started Starfield yet because I’m waiting for the Game Pass release. So sit down with your…

It’s not just because it’s Starfield, it’s the Kotaku ethos now. The aim is to find the negative angle on every story, because negativity gets more traffic. With the constant complaint pieces and the endless slideshows, it’s clear what the priority is on the site now.

A reminder your local library isn’t everybody’s local library.

I appreciate the lengthy reply but, like the article, it’s irrelevant.
