Yes! Finally a place where I can offload all these NFTs. My father died and left behind an attic just packed with rare, but near mint NFTs. Some of these haven’t been seen since the 1800s. In fact, I took one of the NFTs to be appraised, and the guy said it was an actual Civil War era NFT owned by George Custer.…

Frankly, I feel like NFTs are the perfect example of how absolutely out of touch consumerism has become with the human experience. And, on that matter, the real extent of income inequity.

My hunch is that it will age better than the blockchain record of your purchase of a receipt for a monkey jpeg at a URL that doesn’t exist anymore.

Or the bubble will burst and in 5 years NFTs are going to be even *more* of a punchline.

Don’t take me as an apologist for this, but that has nothing to do with Nintendo, but with MercurySteam.

Yeah, this was the breaking point for me.  I canceled my Netflix sub last night.  In the grand scheme of things, I doubt they care, but I can only do what I can do, and that includes not giving these people another dime of my money.  

Yeah I’d give Dave a bit of leeway on the jokes. That’s not to say they aren’t offensive to people. Heck I watched the special and at times looked at the audience and could tell from their faces they were, at the very least, unimpressed with them. That’s jokes; some work, some don’t.

“first party shooter games”

I disagree. A shot for shot remake only opens the door to criticism of why X is wrong or has people asking why do it in the first place. The better option is to try and keep the spirit of the original series and the character personalities as close as possible to the original but make new stories that weren’t told in…

I’m not an expert but Japan has their own...issues with WW2 (Short version: Colonialism, genocide, human experimentation with chemical weapons, and state-sanctioned mass rape of Koreans, Chinese, Filipinos, etc.). And, much like the South does the Confederacy, there are far right Japanese Nationalists who want to…

They still haven’t apologized for WWII and their part in it or the comfort women...if that doesn’t tell you the answers of their education system.

This is slightly related slightly unrelated but I remember when Among Us got big, everyone started crapping on Fall Guys for being a *dead game* and the reason was because the devs of fall guys couldn’t keep up with the hype. People were hungry for new/shifting content and the small team at mediatonic weren’t really…

That’s what’s so frightening here. This ludicrous mess overshadows the severity of the issue underneath it all.

Wow, what a fantastic way to prioritize interagency bickering over holding a horrible organization properly culpable

I’m delighted you are, too.

No.

According to Wikipedia:
Budget: $50 million
Box Office: $218 million

so yes, your statement is correct but probably not for the reason you intended.

New Pizza is more of the same.

New McDonald’s is more of the same.

It depends on how you felt about more of the same. It doesn’t invalidate the concept.

Not everyone that works Kotaku will have the same take on games. People are allowed to have different opinions, even though they work for the same company.
