Mesmerizing...

Hear hear, I am also waiting for one good game or movie with an iconic Superman but... dare I say that here on Kotaku... he’s a “white straight male” (shit how I hate to have to use these terms, even sarcastically) and, when I look at the current cultural trends, at least in entertainment, it doesn’t look like he will…

“One of the worst things the Internet has ever done is giving voice to people with some really dumb takes and thus creating an echo chamber where there complaints seem more legit than they are.”

I am amazed (and frankly a bit suspicious sometimes, nothing personal, don’t worry) of memories like that from infancy. My childhood is a complete shattered blur of a kaleidoscope of memory parts, where it would be very difficult for me to parse between reality, dreams and edited memory.

I’m just curious, as it may well be a Kinja bug, but did you just like, then almost immediately unlike my previous comment? Is that a way to say that you like it only partly? I am confused...

Just genuinely curious about what reason(s) you have for wanting games to be announced very early. To me, the evolution of my interest for a game between its reveal and its launch is inversely proportional to the time elapsed between the two, as the informations tends to be lost within all the news.

6 if you count Batman : Arkham VR ;)

I agree about the controls. They were great for last gen, servicable fur current gen, but I really want a new control scheme and playstyle for next gen.

The Hulk’s back muscles are certainly one of the rare good things out of The Avengers’ beta!

“I’ll concede that I misjudged you based on my prior experiences discussing sensitive topics on Kotaku, and I suppose I only have myself to blame for that.” Shit, you have no idea how this sentence made feel good after days of people piling on me elsewhere! That’s what confinement is doing to us, I guess, but I…

She is the cofounder of the online, multilingual free games conference gamedev.world, and has acted as the recurring director and co-host of the IndieCade…

I quite liked the say the story was told, and I thought he was very good at it. It made it look episodic, with varied intermissions, opportunities for digressions. I was actually surprised to like it, since I’m not a twitter user myself.

Does someone know if the picture of the palace on pillars with planets in the background is from any specific work?

He’s not dumb, he’s just living in a culture where racism is much more comfortably expressed than in any western society. You see, people tend to forget that the world in general is mostly extremely racist or at least xenophobic. We tend to forget it since we live in very open and tolerant cultures, but it’s good to…

Hey, thanks for “biting”! :) (but we’ll come back to that!)

“A gender is too large and diverse a group” It all depends on your definition of gender, and we all know that nowadays, that’s a difficult topic. And I can assure you that no company will even care about newly defined gender lines when they prepare their marketing, unless they deem the PR profitable.

Of course, there is. Generalization (as implied by the comment I responded to) is the idea that (almost) the whole group correspond to particular characteristic. Its sense in the statistic field is not the same as the one it has in everyday speech.

There is a difference between individuals (and your personal impression due to contact with individuals) and the statistic of any particular group.

There is a difference between “generalization” and “categorization by statistical mean”. When you say, let’s say, “x% of men between the age of 13-17 play mostly sports and shooting games (with x > 50)”, you are not saying that “all men” are paying these games exclusively, but that you have more probability of finding…
