there’s only one answer: Fury Road

never ever have i had an old person send something back for being “too hot” but i have had 1,000,000 old people return their soup because it wasn’t hot enough. i just don’t get it. we could send that shit out boiling, the bowl inside a pot of boiling oil, and we would still get complaints about it being cold

It’s not phonetic; it’s Scots English

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.

Namor was great when Hickman was writing him for New Avengers: sinister, Machiavellian, charming, sexy, and more nuanced than simple villain. Not that this is better or worse; I’m just observing.

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?

we get it; you didn’t like it. move on with your life

my favourite thing about the internet is that as soon as somebody mentions the 2016 ghostbusters, they get inundated with takes about how bad it was. we get it; you didn’t like it. move on with your life

unless the show is just covering the present timeline and absolutely none of the shit post-apocalypse timeline, then it might be good! the Passage goes from great to shit in a matter of a single page thanks to that timeshift.

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…

Is it possible, in our current social environment, that we will suppress brilliant ideas if their creators have faults?

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

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