Clicks. That’s about it. Just clicks.

I love the bad faith argument of ‘Not that I don’t believe you, but I can’t be arsed to open a search engine and find out if I’m full of shit or not’. Keep it coming.

The feelings this causes for the modders themselves must be so confusing.

While there SHOULD be more diversity in this game or well most things. Asian folks in particular don’t give a flying fuck about whitewashing. Like the big stink ofve Scarlett Johansson being case in the live action Ghost in the Shell the ONLY people complaining were Americans. Japanese people didn’t even give a shit a…

Genshin has made billions of dollars a year for them since its release, so as far as they’re concerned the international response has been incredibly positive.

It’s a mainland Chinese company full of mainland Chinese devs. I can guarantee they are not fans of any skin darker than beige. Even if it’s their own.

I’m sure that angry Americans on Twitter will really have an impact on changing the cultural perspectives of Chinese developers.

yeah you can write a book on Kotaku, but the fact remains he’s a POC, college dropout from a low income family that beat the odds. Hard to feel sorry for a white person that studied Ancient Greek Philosophy and wants to live in Manhattan.

its almost like being handed everything in life gives young people an unearned sense of self-entitlement. go figure.

I’m wasn’t really here to argue what’s realistic or not, but now out of curiosity I did an apartment search in Austin as if I was moving to work there and there appear to be a healthy number of 1 bedroom apartments available for rent around the city for around $1000 and studio apts for even less. Living wage is meant…

Kotaku has become complete garbage since Schreier left. It was already spiraling before that, likely due to the new(ish) ownership. Journalistic integrity and capitalism, as it turns out, are not particularly compatible. 

Still nicer than publishing “human cost of Fallout76" next to “how i lick diablo immortal ass today”

This man can’t take a shit without fanboys thinking Microsoft is buying Kohler.

I’m sorry, but the blowback to stuff like this compared to Smash just feels like a bunch of millennials who’re turning in to their parents and don’t realize it.

Jesus Christ. You’re 30 and trying to connect two cartoon characters into corporate fucking America stfu.

C’mon, shaggy being an elderich being with unlimited power is one of the most common memes amoung people born before 2000.... the rest was shit but them embracing shaggy and his unlimited god-hood was spot on

Kotaku has become so WOKE that what was suppose to be a gaming journalism website has become a blog for hating on NFT/Bobby Kotick and Twitch streamers LMAO... long gone are the good writers that existed here, the journalism side of Kotaku has died.

You can read my reply to Ka Mai for more details, but actually yes, literally any game dev worth their salt can quit their job for a better paying and easier to do job coding for corporation level proprietary software.

I don’t know why I’m bothering to respond to you, because I see you on Kinja with bad hot takes, usually thesaursized and multiple paragraphs long like, every single day, so it’s clear you have too much time on your hands, and so I’ll let this one reply stand for everything and you can enjoy having further bad takes…

It’s a volatile subject. If I posted my thoughts on the matter here, no doubt I’d have people jumping on me with everything ranging from smug superiority to angry accusations of stupidity. But I would hope that most people can agree that their communication through all these changes has been abysmal.
