I would love to see Far Cry 2 get remastered and slightly tweaked for the current gen consoles. It’s such a bleak pointless game with no hope and it’s completely necessary in our current era of “FUN FUN FUN ALL THE TIME YOU BETTER BE HAVING FUN” AAA games. all their attempts at gravity and pathos are undermined by the…

i adore this article and love when Kotaku posts stuff like this. more of this, please! more essays and personal reflections on what games mean to us.

pardon the dumb question, but with the consent stuff in regular mode, does that mean i can avoid all PvP combat if I so choose?

95% agree. The first season, which i adore, suffers once the past timeline catches up with the present timeline, leaving the past behind for histrionics and hicksploitation. episodes 8 and to a lesser extent 7 fumble the ball. but don’t agree with you on reprising of roles; leave it in the past, i say!

i also have tremendously awful bacne (when i was exercising daily and showering sans soap or shampoo and eating vegetarian, it still didn’t clear up) so i’m interested in solutions. forgive the ignorance but what is “cupping”?

Jesus christ I’m so sorry. I’m glad to hear you’re out of the situation. I was sexually assaulted once (only once)(me = genderqueer white dude) and I found the whole exposing of predators thing from last year to be quite triggering, so I can’t imagine how much more difficult it for women etc

jesus christ why the bleach? holy fuck no wonder women are justifiably frightened of men

this is the worst news for the overall videogame industry: developers and companies have already begun capitulating to the howling of the mob. we shouldn’t be giving the mob more permissions.

i’m of two minds on this one. on one hand, i think expressions of emotion, especially hyperbolic ones, can be cathartic and in some ways politically radical (cf. Sara Ahmed). especially tears and cis het men. on the other hand, this is a digital, ephemeral trinket which adds literally nothing to a game, already a…

why do i even bother reading these articles? nothing gamers do at this point can surprise me? gamers are truly the worst scum

Players Are Already Upset About Red Dead Online’s Economy

(very small point of order: “entomology” refers to insects. “etymology” refers to word origins. your overall point still stands of course)

“phobic” can also mean “aversion” you fucking imbecile. you wrote out all those words and they amounted to the equivalent of a wet fart. log off and crack open a book you jabroni 

congrats on writing an entire article about foreshadowing

i went straight to the comments for this article and boy i was not disappointed. lots of adults getting really upset about a cartoon and reaching for every excuse in the book to cover for the true problem: “i can’t jerk off to this cartoon”

Before I met my partner, I assumed everybody knew how to approach cats and dogs. I just innately did some of these things (not all, some I’ve learned, especially from Jackson). My partner, however, had no idea how to approach a dog, let alone a cat. They were hesitant, stiff, and cats feed on that negative energy. It…

it must be tough to be a public gamer. on one hand, a good chunk of your fame derives from a culture of undistilled racism. on the other hand, you can’t be outright racist or else the public will notice. it’s a struggle! how do you stay true to your brand (racism) without getting caught?

Thank you for this. Came to type something similar but you said it better.
