I think the big thing is just definitely don’t do co-op in Liurnia near Academy Town, because of the White Mask Varre quest where you’re force to do invasions if you want to progress through it. I agree, I’ve played a bunch of co-op and only been invaded a handful of times.

I wouldn’t say nationalistic, just a culture that doesn’t walk around visibly aroused at the idea of having guns in everything like in the US.

Wolf’s Rain, Cowboy Bebop, Tokyo Godfathers, Macross Plus, Samurai Champloo, Space Dandy, Carole and Tuesday: This is a murderer’s row of anime classics over the past 3 decades, and this woman’s responsible for writing a good chunk, if not most of them. I grew up with them and still am in awe of them all.

Unions have been demonized in America for at least the past 30+ years even by the Left. Turns out maybe that wasn’t such a good idea after all?

Thanks for continuously reporting these stories (and the memos). The more it’s out there, the more they can’t run from it. Keep this issue visible.

I have the exact opposite reaction. At every time in humanity’s history, there have been people who noticed the racism of their time, and called it out. “Oh well, people were just super racist back then” just never seems like a good argument. No, they weren’t. Some people were. Lovecraft was. But there were plenty of…

I don’t know how anyone can look at these images without the question of cruelty even occuring to them (as it apparently didn’t to anyone involved in publishing this post).

That rat does not seem like he’s having a very good time. 

I read this advice in a "are gaming chairs good?" thread on Reddit and I'm so glad I took it and got a refurb. $400-$500 well spent for a chair that is built like a tank and for comfort. I especially like the adjustable lumbar support as an old person.

I thought I replied to this post a while ago. I always have appreciated all your work. Top notch quality! Thank you very much for the kind words, I’ll miss working with you here!

First Highlight Reel and now ‘Shop Contest... what a shame. There’s less and less that makes me come back to this site, I hope the overlords at Gizmodo Media Group know what the fuck they are doing.

Can always join the discord!! Also I'm sure even Zack didn't know it was gonna be the last one as I'm sure he'd pick something different than a leek to go out on.

I wish I’d known it was the last one! Would have come back for a last hurrah. Had a lot of good times...

Aw, I haz a sad now. This was one of my routine stops on Saturday/Sunday, even though I never participated. Seeing all the fun ‘shops and the goofy culture around them has been a highlight of my weekend since forever. Just like Highlight Reel was.

Sorry to see this Photoshop Contest ends once again, it been a fun ride.

Hey kotaku...

Grats to Sciteach for an excellent entry. Grats to everyone else who got mentions this week and to everyone else who entered this final contest! PSpsychopath’s Jaws entry was my final fav.

Cecil summed it up for me with that gif!! I thank you for joining us and glad I could inspire you to do so! I always thought you did exceptional work! You ans Cecil are the reason I came back ever week. There would be weeks when I just wasn't feeling it and then saw you two posting and felt compelled to join. 

First and foremost I’d like to thank my close friend Zack for putting these contests on every week and Peter too where ever he is. Then I want to thank Cecil_banon for not only being there pretty much every week with fantastic entries of his own but always having a better caption for mine than I could ever think of. I…

I knew it was too good to be true! But see you on your Discord! And congrats to this week’s winners!
