Side note: Clodsire is a physical attacker, so wouldn’t Earthquake be better than Earthpower? But we also know the best attackers for these are ones that can boost attack stats, and I’m not seeing that.

If anything, Clodsire looks like it would be a better support option: lower stats with things like Chilling Water or…

I believe you have an error about breeding. In the new games, breeding for moves is replaced by having an empty move slot on the pokemon you want the “egg move” for while holding a mirror herb with the pokemon who should learn it. That’s what we had to do for Belly-Drum Azumarill, remember? 

Players HATE trainers with this one weird crow!

Sony has shown with their previous attempts to lie about the possibility of crossplay and their half-assed attempts to avoid competing with anyone but themselves in streaming and subscription gaming that they just want you to buy into their environment.

I know this isn’t E3, but comparing this to the earlier Nintendo Direct this is a solid C-, while the Nintendo Direct is a B+ or even A-

I haven’t played Valhalla, so I can’t speak to it. Odyssey was... long and annoying. I stopped playing it very early. The hero was likeable enough and her bravado well acted, but my God the micromanaging! “Enter Fort Nondescript #152, kill everyone, then you gain influence in this area. Oh, by the way, there are a…

Origins hands down.

3 would not be a great starting point because it’s the end of a complicated story arc.
Unity is a good game, but has a love story at its center, which is weird among AC plots.
The Triple Pack is some damn good value, and while it has story continuity beats that might be confusing in it, there are 3 good nearly…

Black Flag.

Wow, this was a really sweet post. As a long time Kotaku reader, this was really touching to see all the past personalities I’ve read so much come back and all say something about him. I’ve missed seeing a lot of these names all in one place. What a heartwarming tribute. Rest in Peace Mike.

I think one of the greatest compliments I could give to a reporter is that I often found myself reading articles on topics I wasn’t actually interested in, only because I saw his name attached to them.

He always gave a perspective that was interesting, even if I didn’t care about what he was writing about. He made me…

to everyone wondering where our post was: this was it. it took a while assembling all the responses from current and former kotaku dot com staffers but all that time gave us the room to honor fahey in the best way we knew how. i didn’t get to work with him long but his personality and wit were infectious. im bummed…

Think I’ve teared up three times reading this site: Mike’s struggle with gaming addiction, Mike’s story about being in a coma, and today reading this tribute.

Thank you—and thanks Mike, rest well, you made a lot of people happy. Truly Fahey was the best of us.

At 430 in the morning I'm milking cows.  Jebidiah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows.

They’ve been spending most their lives living in a horders paradise...

83-84 and I’m already soaked in sweat.

Mockery is one of the most effective means of combatting fascists. They rely on looking smarter / superior to their idiot supporters. Showing what dumbasses they are has a good chance of waking some of those fools up.

Literally everyone is dunking on this weird creep, and they’re only spreading a single clip containing the most vague and toothless threat in recorded history as dictated by a muppet. I promise you it’s going to be okay.

COUNTERPOINT: He flamed out, he’s pathetic, it’s fine.
