Multiple things can intersect and be true at once if you consider the history at play here.

I believe the topic in question is that this app is a national security risk, so I don’t see how “tik tok should exist because of the funny memes” is a relevant defense against that.

Since all of the gizmodo family editors are doing these, can someone do “top 50 white nationalist recruitment propaganda on tiktok” next? How about “top 30 illegal/cruel tiktok pranks”? “99 tiktoks that induce body dismorphia in teens and teach them unhealthy/pseudoscience ‘cures’ for their perceived inadequacies 🤫🧏”…

I am kinda irritated the game is doubling down on “SqareEnix’s Into The Cloud-o-verse” because we haven't had enough multiverse stories yet.  

Either like the Patrick Stewart “Professor X” cameo, it was just fan service; People have been saying John Krasinski should play Reed Richards for quite a while. OR Pedro Pascal just has so much star power right now that they dropped Krasinski to give Pascal the job. 

VR porn aside (because... why?), this is the attitude that makes me not like Apple. They just fundamentally don’t think that the devices you buy are really yours. They still see them as extensions of their own marketing.

Why the free negativity toward MacFarlane?
I was expecting more details about the skin, not a review about an interview.

Why is the article randomly negative toward MacFarlane? His comedy isn't my style and I'm not a fan of anything he's done (except the first Ted), but he's pretty successful and seems like an okay guy. He also has a really good singing voice hahaha

I *hate* Fromsoft games. Like, all of them, yes, even Elden Ring (which even from an art design / graphical standpoint I find massively overrated). Their design philosophy pisses me off, and the fan base is full of insufferable tryhards who are borderline cultish about it. But then, most of the appeal seemed to be (in…

On one hand, I’m guessing they’re just talking about the game, not life.

On the other hand, you have made me realize just how much life is like a souls game; endless challenges made arbitrarily hard for the benefit of the few, and the only advice anybody ever gives you is “get gud” and expect to fail for most of it.

My spouse, who only knows about Alan Wake because I won’t shut up about it, was captivated by Mr. Door. David Harewood’s charisma and sense of authority are magnetic. He really breathes life into the character and you get drawn to him.

Doesn’t seem too hilarious

Sure, like I said that’s not the part I’m responding to.

I also agree that it’s fine for a player character to be straight, and that not every video game should give the player perfect representation of themselves (in the form of a character creator, wide open romantic choices, etc etc). I think Kenneth’s fixation on the lack of same-sex or queer romance options obfuscates…

Agreed. I recognize that as a straight man, maybe I am a bit ignorant to certain issues but I do try to educate myself whenever I have the opportunity. I do know that it’s important to have queer (and other) representation, but writing the main character as a straight teenager without the option to pursue a gay…

When Ryuji asked the question, I fully expected my options to be limited exclusively to the women in the room, as that would reflect the original Persona 5’s extremely limited view of romance.

I haven’t played any of the Persona games, but I feel like “the main character isn’t gay” isn’t the same thing as homophobia. Like, I know it’s a role-playing game and he’s the main player character of the game and so ostensibly the role that you are getting to play, but just because you can make a lot of other…

Glad to see this coming about. Now, I”m saying this as a first generation Japanese-American immigrant, who came to America as a young age but goes to Japan for work fairly regularly.

“Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”

There’s a lot of scenarios where this would be useful. For me and my wife we can watch tv but I can still play on my PS5 without taking it to another room and isolating myself from her (or she can even watch what she wants while I’m on the handheld but we can still spend time together). Sometimes even though I’m…
