Stories about shitty studio practices should be right at the top of any gaming-related site. If those people are whistleblowing in hope of improving their work conditions, every site should make it a top priority to cover the story.
The industry should improve and the only way for that to happen is by spreading…

Cage is also accused of a lack of consideration for female colleagues, and of making insistent dirty jokes, smutty remarks in the presence of his wife, and inappropriate remarks about actresses in his games.

Who could have predicted that the guy who spent a year hunting down photos of Ellen Page as a child and put a nude model of her in his game without her knowledge or consent would be a sexual harasser?

Remember what happened when two loudmouths insulted Sian Massey about “not knowing the offside rule” because she hasn’t got a penis...and in that very game Massey proved she understands it very well? The idiots lost their jobs.

The same should happen now. Humphrys and Sopel should lose their jobs, and the money given…

No, I got the joke. It just ran dry after about the two minute arc.

yeah, it wasn’t particularly funny, just a depressing story of characters being jerks. good art, but waste of a story. i get that its parodying how characters act in dungeon crawl games, but meh.

When I saw this this morning I was marveling at the art (of course) and video game fx, but thinking ‘Man, these two are total assholes, in a bad way.’

Anyone else noticing the trend that the women who are coming out to cry about how wrong #MeToo and other campaigns are all tend to be of a certain older age and higher social class?

I’ve decided to alternate between him and Lucio if I’m going to heal. Discord orbs are lethal and transcendence can be a game changer on a big push. Lucio is still fun to play, but as I’m learning Moira more, I’m slowly transitioning into using her above either of the others.

“I’m a crap aim but great at team management.” This apply for a lot of people, I hope Blizzard takes this into consideration someday.

Of course, no one should ever make commentary about matters of race, lest whites be induced to eye rolling or pointing out that anyone bringing up race is the REAL racist.

this is a bad take

Don’t cut yourself on that edge!

Mind if I just go ahead and copy your posts for a unit on sophistry?

Oh, and irony, too; that whole “I’m going to comment on what I assume your emotional state must be, but you’re the one projecting” bit was gold.

Holy invalid analogy, Batman!

Covering a YouTube content producer whose primary content focuses on video games is not analogous to hitting the lowest possible common denominator in the experience of playing games. The YouTuber is part of gamer culture, as many of them built their fame through Let’s Play style videos…

TIL: Reporting on factual events = misrepresentation.

And, as a bonus, Kotaku, a site that describes itself as covering “games and gamer culture,” should evidently not cover YouTube, many of whose biggest names make their living by either playing, reviewing, or commenting upon games.

If you’re suffering from depression, isolation, or any other situation that makes you feel as if it’s not worth getting up in the morning, please know you are not alone, and there is help. Please, reach out; your life is worthwhile, and you are worthy. Don’t ever forget that.

This video (and others like it)…

The Bob Dylan interview in 1987 that broke my freshman heart, and every last shred of respect for him. NB, he adulates U2 three lines later in the interview. Bold mine.

What makes this hot chocolate different from most American and European versions is you effectively brew the cocoa first. This is an intensely chocolatey but not cloyingly sweet version, though all amounts are adjustable to taste. Makes three small, two generous, or one…

No. Bad.
