“Swatting is a dangerous prank”

No, swatting is an attack. It is targeted, hate-inspired terrorism. No rational person thinks “Wouldn’t it be funny if a SWAT happened on this person’s stream?” This isn’t a prank or something to be reductive about. The person perpetrating these attacks is betting on the police to use…

This isn’t about a “game company” being a parent. This is about an employer performing their basic duty to provide the health services to their employees. I will forgive you for being ignorant if you’re not an American, but in this country the state has ceded any and all responsibility for the health of its citizens…

If you’re going to release meager political statements purely for marketing purposes then your employees have a right to push back and actually test you on it. Especially with a law that effects every woman in the country despite only being supported by about 30% of its people.

Preach. No matter how many mutes I set on Twitter, I can’t escape the most toxic fucking takes. And think of the kinds of people, like Daily Wire, trying to push things about this case, and how they benefit.

Hey, the Staff comments are from people who are just as baffled as I am that Heard got as much vitriol as she did.

Except that quote is a perfect Rorschach test.

It was pretty wild watching all the “I Play A Professional Lawyer On Twitter/Twitch” crowd read the verdict as a complete and total absolution of any abuse that ever occured, so not a single hand was raised by hum ever, once, at all. The Bar Association chruning those clowns out doesn’t sound like a reputable one to…

I’ve had to keep myself away from trial coverage because it's all so gross. Thumbnails on YouTube where people are relishing a single mistake, or saying it "proves" she's lying... I can't handle it. And you're right, it shows how little we've learned.

I shamefully use Reddit from time to time and felt like I was drowning in the saliva of teenage boys who were eager to have an imperfect woman be the target of their rage.

Thank you, I feel like I’m taking crazy pills with how many dudebros saw this trial and thought “Surely this guy who had two judgements against him for beating his wife was the hero all along.”

My partner’s mother is unhappy I haven’t curbed his “video game problem,” and she’ll nag me for not fixing the things about him she doesn’t like. Gaming is a “lazy” hobby.

Hopefully we won’t get a, “The Human Toll of any of these games” report that we’ll quickly forget when they announce something new

I didn’t know anyone planned to walk the total surface area of 1000 planets, let alone one. I heartedly disagree with you on everything you said, short of the point about Interplay. What can I say- the glass is half full!

People will complain either way. If it was only 20 planets, they'd be mad that there's not enough or how unrealistic it is they can't land on the moon or some shit. 

It’s insane how many people are complaining about this when it’s basically just a 18,446,744,073,709,550,616 times more focused No Man’s Sky lol.

This opinion might somehow seem unpopular, but I have faith in my peeps at BGS. Particularly in Rockville, and particularly in the single player experience.

Agreed, but this is Kotaku, and hot takes for clicks is the norm around here now.

I’m still a bit baffled as to why people are complaining about the larger number of probably barren worlds. Fallout and Elder Scrolls both always, always, always have minor locations filled with almost nothing good or interesting, this is no different, it’s just on a larger scale.Skyrim had dozens of caves and…

Is Starfield going to live up to the hype of a literal hype-man?  Probably not.  Am I going to buy it and play it anyway? Of course, I would have likely done that without ever seeing any of the game play.  “It’s like Fallout/ES in space.” Great, sounds good, sign me up.
