This is so so so amazing. Definitely bookmarking the video to watch later. I’m sure plenty of gamers are pissed at him talking about his sexuality at all, but we’ve been here this whole entire time. One of the biggest franchises was spearheaded by a gay man (Fallout, I mean - Tim Cain). The winner of the first-ever…

Amen! This is pretty much what I was thinking also. Just didn’t have time to decide what to say.

This trend of expanding album covers with AI is pointless

With so many games fundamentally about taking over spaces or harvesting them for our own gain—something arguably reflected even in the wonderful new game The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, where as Link, you can plunder Hyrule to your heart’s content—how do we make games that challenge such ideas?

They’re Taika Waititi and James Gunn.

Temple of Doom’s portrayal of the villagers and the surrounding community isn’t always, shall we say, culturally sensitive—not entirely surprising for a movie made four decades ago, but something that might stand out for a first-time viewer in 2023.

I love how President Biden is (in the minds of MAGA morons) simultaneously a dementia-addled puppet reading off of cue cards and a criminal mastermind overseeing an international money laundering ring of pedophiles.

Sorry this is just horse armor in another form. There is zero benefit. It’s all just aesthetics. It doesn’t improve your weapons. I did it once and I’m done. When I saw that the deluxe version of the game was simply more outfits, etc., I realized there was no point in paying the extra $20! I’m sure this appeals to…

What in God’s name did Jeremy Strong do to everyone that they’re so pissed off about his acting technique? He is a brilliant actor. That’s about all I require of him.

Probably the first time I’ve heard of someone using method that didn’t involve being an asshole.

“Gerwig, who also directs, wrote an “abstract poem” as part of her pitch for the film that “shares some similarities with the Apostles’ Creed,” and points out that Ken was created to “burnish Barbie’s position in our eyes and in the world,” which is “the opposite of the creation myth in Genesis.””

“It feels like inventing problems where they didn’t exist.”

Dancy certainly put his foot in his mouth, but I do understand some of his points.  No women can’t be catagorized into a box of certain types of games (i’ve seen women designers who made games with spaceships and robots) but the game world has a small margin for profit and taking a risk on an idea that isn’t going to…

A better writer would probably look at the emerging trends in the streaming industry and do some research to find commonalities, but instead we get “Great, first Zaslav screws up HBO, and now Disney+ is pulling shows and Netflix is cracking down on password sharing. Hey Zaslav, quit ruining other streaming services!”

these guys are the abso9lute nadir of music made with a guitar, the fact they are “rock ambassadors” is evidence of how dead of a genre it is :\

“Salt Of The Earth was generated by creatives who had approximately a thousand times more reason to be mad at the studio system than the current (justifiably aggrieved) WGA membership of today”

this is kind of a bootlicker take. HBO Max didn’t have an easy start but eventually offered more quality content than nearly any other streaming platform. And that would have been without the HBO Max originals like the Flight Attendant which were better than they should have been...with Showtime’s mostly boring…

This is just legitimately sad. All the power to Amouranth, but she’s got no real personality (at least, not one she shows in front of an audience, because having a personality may lead to less people forming parasocial relationships with you, and thus, less money). She’s known for having big bahonkadonks. This…

Is it just me or does Amouranth get brought up a lot on Kotaku? Like there’s an Amouranth “beat” that rears its head every now and then.

It’s extremely mannered, which is the opposite of camp.
