Strongly disagree on the weapons. Mass Effect 1 only had four guns in it, they just had hundreds of different stat configurations that changed nothing at all about how you played. It was that whole trope about putting on the pants with the better numbers, that’s all you’re doing. It wasn’t until the Remaster that they…

As someone who did so: Yes, I was in the wrong. I handled the news very poorly and my judgement should have been better and I should have been more mature. I’m genuinely sorry for that.

Don’t defend the people who tried to demand a time frame on a response, they don’t get a say in how Kotaku memorialises one of their own. If Kotaku wanted to wait a few days to get responses from a lot of people, that’s their choice and a perfectly reasonable one.

Having a look to see which of some of the most vitriolic ones have actually commented here now the post is up is…interesting, given how important an instantaneous response was to them.

That certain users kept concern trolling about “WHERE IS THE MIKE FAHEY ARTICLE” was annoying and completely insensitive. When a loved one dies, your first instinct isn’t to go and immediately write about it. You take the time to gather your thoughts and the thoughts of those closest to the person to make sure you get…

I’m in the journo industry, and I appreciate how much time and effort it takes to put together something with as many moving parts as this has. It was worth the effort, and is a fitting tribute to Mike.

Here’s your article, people. I wonder why it took so long? Look at all these tributes. RIP, Mike.

Jesus Christ, these people just lost a friend and colleague, but apparently they aren’t grieving fast enough for some people.

Know any good pop culture sites? 

You’re putting spite in my mouth. I come to see the embarrassment, yeah, but it’s more of a rage-against-the-bullshit kind of thing than any bilious obsession. I’m capable of a large and textured life and my visits here are a very tiny part of it that keep me abreast of industry updates and clickbait tactics, which…

You always were the gullible one, Splendid.

Giving feedback. You must be very green. I gave feedback for a long time. Now I come by and lament how far things went in the opposite direction. In what way, pray tell, does me disliking the site’s content cause the site to have bad content? I’d love to hear this.

If you can tell me how to reach into my brain and stop it from automatically typing that “AV” into my browser bar, I’m all ears. This site is part of my identity and I’m not going to stop doing drive-bys through the old haunt every now and then just because Jam_Boy_3 doesn’t want to look at some comments.

Yet those other industry publications don’t make snide jokes pretending they’re any different. That’s the thrust of my point.

I give feedback

I mean…we’re not “treating a website as a person.”

Did…did you miss the feedback, champ?

I mean, I get it, I am kind of obsessed with Florence Pugh too. But this site probably should try to find other things to write about also. Are there any new TV shows they could watch and review, for example?

Agreed. He didn’t even write the article but felt the need to reply.

See, this response probably made you feel nice and snarky, but the fact that you care more about us reading than us enjoying what we’re reading is kind of the problem.
