Just to note, Abby’s not trans, that was just an assumption idiots made because she was muscular. 

and i’m here to tell you that that’s stupid and overdramatic. everyone’s just saying “ExpECtatIOn’S sUBveRTeD” without any further elaboration and acting like an unsatisfying story is the ultimate betrayal that destroys everything about the first game.

christ all the termites coming in here to whine about how the game refusing to give a happy or noble ending to its characters is some sort of objective betrayal of The Gamer’s Contract or some shit. watch a single movie that doesn’t have a merchandising tie-in, art doesn’t solely exist to give you everything you want…

As funny as this meme is, most of the time presenters are dusted with powder makeup to remove natural skin oil shine. If they recorded at home, which is likely, they probably didn’t have the necessary makeup artist on-site to prep them for the recording, so they end up looking shiny.  We all look shiny, we just have…

Honestly, if anything, we need to push usage of voice chat harder. Women play games. A lot of women play games. So do LGBTQ+ people, and people with “non-standard voices”. And the fact is, by sheer numbers, the stable, non-assholeish people outnumber the manbaby rage children by a pretty huge margin, and yet we have…

How so? The argument being made is the level of abuse means that they have to mute their VC, and thus are at a disadvantage. An oversimplification? Yea, sure. But absurd? You’re having a laugh. “People are abusive fuckwads and I can’t play the game listening to them abuse me” might sound more accurate but it’s…

Vague is probably all they really can be at this point as I doubt they can say for sure how events now will affect plans months down the road.

Thank you for being a considerate human being who has awareness of others and their situation.

Dude, the Game Awards or any other live televised performance is a super stressful job where a bunch of people are trying to keep a lot of very weird stuff from going off the rails. Game jams are opportunities for devs to play, marketing-driven TV shows are marketing-driven TV shows. Unless Keighley invited people to…

Sure, as far as disrupting stunts to pull in an awards gala, it’s fairly tame. I’m still not gonna praise the guy for it, though. And I know if I had been working the show I would definitely not have appreciated it. Maybe give the things out in the front while people are taking pictures or something? I just find…

Well, yeah, but it’s somebody’s job, too. I don’t particularly care for KFC, but if I ever go to one I don’t make it my mission to lightly annoy people working or eating there, you know? Particularly not with an ad for my own restaurant.

So... that’s a shitty thing to do.

I too thought about the impact this will have on a multitude of innocent bystanders, and it really does suck horribly.

With the exception of Leon Chiro, nearly everyone else here is an “amateur” cosplayer with regular day jobs or still in school. Most of these handles are Instagrams and most of the younger generation is only really online publicly via Instagram, Snapchat, or Tik Tok. They gave their handles because they were asked for…

I really miss the “Best Anime of This Season” articles that Kotaku used to do. They used to lead me to a lot of great gems. These articles are borderline useless, to me at least; it’s just a huge diarrheal dump of everything coming out with no way of knowing if any of it is worth watching.

The TIEs silhouetted against the sunset is still one of my favorite images of the new trilogy. 

Say what you will about JJ Abrams’ storytelling abilities, he and his crew know how to shoot some striking imagery, and The Rise of Skywalker will be no different. The clip reel reminded me how beautifully lit the third act of Force Awakens was: the light on Kylo’s face turning from blue to red as a sun is consumed by…

I’ve tried. They bitch and moan about friends lists, or other features of steam they think are important. And i’m over here, like you, wondering what the big deal is.

It sounds like the only person who is having trouble struggling with their emotional regulation right now is you.

So let’s tick down the line of how I know you’re a Trump supporter:
