I figured it was something like that, but I’ve never played Destiny and have played a lot of Mass Effect, so the different ship design screamed out to me. It doesn’t even have the “Normandy” name on it!

Come on, it’s pretty obvious that I’m not referring to, like, artists getting exposure for their art (for one, this is AI-generated and so none of it is art and none of the people making it are artists), but rather racists getting racist ideas and imagery exposed to additional people.

I never got very far in KH3, I played the Toy Story world but after that I got busy with something else and just never picked it back up. At least in the brief time that I played it, it didn’t feel like it had really evolved any since KH2 (which I hadn’t played since the PS2) and I never really understood the…

To this day, the way the immortal characters worked in this game is one of my favorite JRPG mechanics. First, having them come back to life in combat a couple turns after they die is really convenient and adds an extra layer of strategy, but past that having them only able to learn skills from items and other people…

Normandy looking a little iffy here...

I’m not saying that he should have phrased it that way given the readership of a Kotaku article, but the word has taken on a kind of second life in fashion/aesthetic slang, especially in the LGBTQ and drag communities. It doesn’t mean here what you think it means, look up “serving cunt”.

It’s great that you republished the racist AI art in the lede image, I’m sure the people who “made” them love the exposure

I haven’t seen much Kitchen Nightmares, but that doesn’t sound inaccurate. People get this idea in their head that local is automatically better and while that is often true, you can also end up with highly mediocre local places that serve mediocre-to-bad food to a customer base who (literally) eats it up because…

Also, like, the article talks about how great it is that a comparable restaurant gets their pasta from Italy. Authentic, but certainly NOT local!

“Hi, no I don’t want to make a reservation. I was just wondering- yes, that’s right- I was wondering where you source your food from? Like, is it Sysco? Sysco, S-Y-S-C-O, they’re a food distributor for a lot of chain restaurants. Well can you ask your manager? This is important to me. You see, I was looking into local…

For the record, I’m not talking about myself, I haven’t been to Olive Garden in several years and there are better options near me. But there REALLY isn’t everywhere, not unless you’re into driving a while. I have also had local Italian that is worse than Olive Garden.

Not everyone has something local, for some people Olive Garden is the best Italian food around. I always think it’s funny when people say stuff like this and then follow it up with the fact that they live somewhere big and popular (like Los Angeles, in the article).

Yeah, all that plus the portion sizes of the actual meals. Eat the breadsticks, eat a salad, take half your meal home. Why waste money with appetizers?

Having never heard of Seasons 52, I looked them up - they’re all across the US, like not confined to a single region of the country (though the majority are in Florida), but there are only 44 of them according to their website (https://www.seasons52.com/locations/all-locations). So there’s definitely something fishy…

I think Nintendo’s GOAL will be (or was, depending on where they are internally) to allow players to use the exact same Joy-cons in all aspects, with new ones maybe having reduced drift, etc as you said. I’m not sure whether they’ll be able to reach that with all the other considerations (rails, console size,…

If the next console is the Switch 2 (by which I mean, regardless of the name it is a clear successor to the Switch and maintains its same form factor and hybrid gameplay), I would bet money that it’ll be backward compatible with the Switch games. The Switch has been HUGE for Nintendo and they don’t want to isolate…

I can’t imagine they’ll release the Switch 2 without OLED after they made a big deal when the regular Switch got OLED.

Yeah, to me “Super Nintendo Switch” feels like an accessory for the SNES. Also, for branding purposes, I don’t see Nintendo putting “Nintendo” inside the name of the console - right now it’s the (Nintendo) Switch. We also had the (Nintendo) Entertainment System, the (Nintendo) DS, etc. (Super Nintendo) Switch just…

You’re right, the Wii absolutely could play Gamecube games, it had Gamecube hardware inside and had four Gamecube controller ports and 2 Gamecube memory card slots. I think the only Gamecube feature the Wii wasn’t compatible with was the Game Boy Player since it used a dedicated port and was designed around the…

The woman, a vegetarian, ordered the beverage “because it was advertised as ‘plant-based’ and ‘clean,’” the lawsuit says, but after drinking it she allegedly experienced heart palpitations.
