Between none of the reporting describing the “prank” and a cursory view of their channel, in addition to their statement that they’ll continue “pranking”, I’m more than inclined to believe that there was no actual “prank” and it was likely just straight up harassment at the minimum.

Any attempt at comment from the alleged shooter or their legal representation?  Forgive me if I don’t take Cook’s “simple practical joke” statement at face value.

“ray tracing” is pathetic on consoles and I feel like developers should put their efforts elsewhere. this is less than a training wheels version of the tech, it’s just a giant performance cost with barely any visual benefit.

Would have been a much cooler and less spoilery title if it were more like “Pokemon Fans Crushed At End of Anime” or something like that, rather than spoiling that particular detail, so thanks.

What’s the point of the spoiler tag in the article if you already spoiled it with your fucking headline, huh?

Why would you put spoilers for UNAIRED content in the headline. Guess I don't need to watch this now...

Bit of a pointless spoiler warning in the article when you’ve got the spoiler in the title, isn’t it?

Why the HELL do you put spoilers in headlines? I’m removing Kotaku from my news feed permanently because of you, nice work!

Come on Kotaku, you guys can do better than this. This article title could have *easily* been been spoiler-free.

Kotaku really loves to put them spoilers of tv shows in the headlines for people who just come for the gaming new. Why do you do this? Do you have no sense of common decency?

Seriously, what was the point of putting a “spoiler warning” line in there when you already put a massive spoiler in the headline? Was that an idea from Sisi, or are your headlines made by your editors? Either way, not a great look for an author some people already aren’t fond of, and judging by comments on some of…

Hey, go fuck yourself for that spoiler headline.

Seriously? Massive headline spoilers? Absolutely awful, Kotaku.

Since I’m watching the dub (thanks for that giant spoiler headline btw), I was assuming they were just going to leave team rocket and continue on as their popular radio/streaming thing they were doing in the latest cours released on Netflix. Guess they blow it trying to steal Ash’s Pokemon at some point during the…

You guys are getting terrible publishing spoilers in titles as of late.

Good. Because here is the thing: I would buy this Day 1 if they committed to supporting PC. I have a PS5, I like it, but I don’t foresee using the VR headset on that enough to justify the cost, but an foveated rendering, eye-tracking lightweight, high-res headset that I could also plug in for PCVR? Easy purchase at…

The same way all those images ended up as stories, too?  Duh.

Maybe it’s because I’m a “filthy poor” but I’ve NEVER understood throwing or breaking a controller. Even when my lizard brain gets angry my logical brain screams “THAT’S A $70 MISTAKE, PLACE THE CONTROLLER ON THE TABLE AND TAKE A BREAK DIPSHIT!”

He did get saddled with the 2016-2020 years, which lasted about five centuries. I don’t blame him for not wanting to deal with another Trump candidacy where the satire is real and there’s nothing you can say to mock it that won’t eventually come out of a Republican’s mouth.

Get ready for the apologists guys, you’ll eventually encounter some of them around.
