Blows my mind people thought Forspoken was some criminal offence to the Writing Gods when dialogue like Stranger of Paradise or half the things Leon says in RE4 exist.

insert why not both gif

While I can’t disagree that the story is horrible, I went into the experience with the mindset that this is Fire Emblem Power Rangers/Sentai and it ended up actually helping me wrap my head around the story better.

In other words, any dialogue or story serves flashy moments which lead into more flashy moments in…

There’s not a shadow of a doubt in my mind that, even if Forspoken had turned out to be a really solid game all the way through, it’d have been completely brigaded by the GamerGate crowd literally just because black woman.

I think this is spot on.

thank you! ideally, something like that will come out of all these recent layoffs. no guarantees whatsoever, but I at least have some calls lined up. fingers crossed

Part of the reason that’s the case is that it’s often so hard to build infill that the only projects that get built are pricey.

hi! former kotaku and (until a few hours ago) current launcher reporter here, and I just wanted to say this is pretty much exactly correct. leadership never gave us the resources we needed, and promotion of even our biggest/best stories was sporadic at best. loved having the time and space to report out good stuff,…

Many of the people who consider themselves recalcitrant suburbanites would quickly change tunes if they ever spent time living in urban centers.

Also middleware is pretty big now and the industry is so monetized I struggle…

but are the actual shitty workers getting called out? or they don’t get picked because they’re friends with so and so all buddybuddy 

‘If everybody is hitting the work quota, nobody is hitting the work quota.’

I’m not going to stan for Elon, everything you say might be true, but there’s no doubt that Tesla’s manufacturing costs are significantly lower than legacy carriers, they have no pensions to support, they use about 1 human to every 3 at the more traditional manufacturers, significantly driving down labor costs.

I love how people say things like “there are still the dirty parts about EV’s no one wants to talk about” when literally every article and comment thread about EVs is chock full of misinformation about how batteries can’t be recycled (they can), or how lithium and rare earth mining is uniquely harmful (it isn’t), or…

He probably has a damn good moonshine hookup as well. Shine that’s strong enough to make a man want to steal a tractor.

Still 80 pity on weapon banner. But 240 rolls vs. 270 rolls... the point still stands. It’s totally bullshit.

This ban has been tough on individual owner-operators. My father-in-law had a hard time finding something at a reasonable price, and was only just able to find one a couple of months before the ban went into effect.
