I don’t understand the point you are trying to make. Might makes right? I run a YouTube channel for my job. It only has a few hundred subscribers. Does that mean that the Mr. Beast channel is “better”? It’s two completely different channels, with different audiences, created for two completely different reasons.…

This feels kind of needlessly shitty and mean. How do you want a person to react to the news that their spouse is a serial killer? 

I think this argument distracts from the point of the gas tax in the first place, which isn’t to encourage efficiency but as a way to pay for infrastructure that everyone uses. The idea behind it being a gas tax was that it used to be generally true that heavier cars used more fuel and cause more roadway damage so…

In all seriousness, lots of people find it hard to not pee for three hours. That’s why planes have restrooms (not just the ones going overseas or NYC-LA). There are actual websites that tell you when you should pee during long movies to not miss important info. Also women tend to have smaller bladders than men.

so the farts aren’t being saved forever into some digital cloud

If Barbie comes out as #1 over the weekend, I suspect we can expect to hear how the movie going public are all a bunch of uneducated, tasteless philistines via a statement by Nolan by next Wednesday.

A few days ago i commented on some guide article about how this website sure has changed and someone replied “elaborate”. And well... now this happened.

I was just thinking last when reading an article of yours last week, “Luke’s still here.” But damn, I guess it truly is the end of an era for Kotaku now. I wish you the best in your future endeavors.

Every time you guys post that 2015 photo it hits me with nostalgia. Good luck Luke, thanks for all your great articles.

Waypoint shut down, All of Giant Bomb’s original folks moved on, now the last of the oldschool Kotaku writers leaves the site. I know that most of these folks have other projects ongoing, but it does seem like a lot of my old standard bookmarks aren’t what they used to be, for better or worse.

Yeah, it does seem a little unfair that we’re excluding, “FTC blasted by Congress and Gamers for doing their job [in such a piss-poor manner that a federal judge, you know, that person you were trying to impress, informed you as such.]” That feels like burying the lead, or at least, the byline. 

I mean let’s all be serious, they did such a shit job it would have been cheaper to not do it at all. I’ve yet to see anyone call their strategy anything other than terrible. Even this site agrees it was bad. If you’re going to do your job, maybe don’t suck at it. 

They keep rushing those cleaning crews through between turnarounds, and underpaying them too, so I can believe this. You’d think they’d allocate more time and crew to a plane whose last flight involved a medical emergency, but I strongly doubt it. You gotta wonder what other corners are being cut in the name of price…

This. Can’t wait until manufacturers overreact and we are swamped in well-built economy cars and compact pickups with no unwanted features in six years’ time.

Weird. Normal people don’t want to buy a $50k car with 7% interest rates, tech that’s outdated faster than a modern smartphone, a business model that’s constantly pushing microservices, and tracks all your movements with no way to opt out or find out where that information is going?

Indeed. Even though I played the game over the Spring/ Summer of 2022, I still find myself thinking about it and remembering how much fun I had. It was far better than I expected it to be. Easily one of the best games I’ve played in the past 10 years. It really gave me something to connect to and made me feel like a…

I hope it turns out as good as that Guardians of the Galaxy game. 

@levi I have good news for you... He spouts that line several times in “the unbearable weight of massive talent”. You should definitely see this movie because he plays more or less the same roll in meta fashion without the horror tropes. And also daddy Pedro Pascal is in there as well, as the biggest nick cage fan in…

The plan used to be that the successes more than made up for the losses.

It is absurd that a dozen movies are made for $250million or more every year.  They can’t all be runaway blockbusters.  How do these executives keep their jobs when more than half tentpole movies lose scores of millions of dollars?
