I was killing time over the holidays and realized I hadn’t listened to splitscreen in awhile. I came to kotaku and checked the tag, and there was barely anything new. Then I googled and was happy to find that there were several recent episodes I hadn’t seen published here.

Imagining where this story would go if you had an owner who would let the legal department grind this out. RIP Heather Dietrick.

See #2 again.

1. It was a joke, dummy.

Next-to-last paragraph: you want pled or pleaded.

To clarify: Houseplants means like decorative plants right? Not he... I mean edible ones? Good riddance to those bonus chores, but if you come for my rosemary we’re gonna have a problem.

Torn between hating this and being psyched as hell that you’re going to Greenwell. Can’t wait to see what you do together.

Yeah, I’m curious because I’m mostly an xbox player who got an elite last christmas. So this year, it’s between asking for the SCUF for ps4 or upgrading to the new elite. The SCUF would be a no-brainer if it’ll work next gen, but probably not if I’m only gonna get one or two more games before it’s obsolete.

You think it’s safe to assume the SCUF Vantage 2 will work with the PS5?

Now I see the confusion. You’re reading the word “surviving” wrong. He means survived literally. In that it continues to exist. Abandoned early builds, especially from that era, generally just get deleted or lost forever.

It makes it seem like that because... that’s exactly what happened?

It’s Paul Maidment, junior herb

I saw your tweet and just wanted to say thank you and good luck. You made an otherwise ugly part of the business into a service for your readers, rather than an encroachment. You’re a perfect example of what has made this place so special: a more thoughtful, more honest, more talented version of what everyone else is…

Oh, he’s for sure going to do them like Splinter. Not a word.

It’s inevitable, so what’s he going to say when he gets around to Jezebel? The other sites are easy: “stick to video games/tech/cars.” While I hope Jez’s time never comes, I can’t wait to see how offensively he fucks it up.

Deadspin was a good website

We’re past scary. Pretty much all of deadspin resigned.

Its incompetent owner just usurped its sister site’s contractually guaranteed editorial independence and fired a genuinely irreplaceable editor when he objected. And none of Kotaku’s union writers have published since that happened, because they have an EIC who supports them.

Good on you for the solidarity kotaku has shown today. I’m sorry you’re all going through this. We’re with you.
