You are mis-interpreting my comment. I don’t use cream or bacon (and definitely not peas) but they are not uncommon inclusions but do typically cause all the authenticity police, who you seem very much to be part of, to lose their shit. Adding or using those, although unnecessary, doesn’t fundamentally change the dish…

I’m so tired of Sacred Recipes. What is it with people just looking for reasons to get upset? I don’t eat pork, so I make carbonara with smoked sundried tomatoes (rehydrated and finely diced). It’s simple and delicious and the smoked tomatoes add a porky flavor. If you give one single shit that I call it carbonara -…

This is nothing I don’t know. Looking at Hogwarts Mysteries in the context of highest grossing mobile apps may not be favourable but in the context of the games it is way up there. Films have done worse relatively but not exactly badly . The books and their audio equivalents are underperforming in some regions but…

I think you overstate how much social appeal has really been lost. The truth is that the majority of consumers are either ignorant of, or just do not care, about the kinds of issues that many Kotaku readers (myself included) care about. For those that do denounce Rowling’s comments? You’ll find a fair few there too,…

Spoiler: The game will sell really well because it’s a AAA Harry Potter game.

The board members here are 100% correct and did nothing wrong. Get over yourself. 

it’s just people blowing off steam. They shouldn’t have resigned.

meh. They’re fucking stupid for broadcasting it publicly, obviously, but 1) they’re probably not wrong, 2) show me a workplace that doesn’t talk shit about their customers. Quitting because some karens overheard you talking about them is a bit spinless and over dramatic, just fake an apology and move on.

If you made every teacher resign that talked shit about parents, we wouldn’t have any teachers. Teachers have a tough job and they ARE treated like babysitters.

They’re not wrong about “they just want their babysitters back”.  I’ve been saying this about the teacher/parent relationship for over 20 years.  Most parents want teachers to raise their kids instead of doing it themselves.  So on this topic, I completely get the frustration these people have.  Everything else…

I mean, I’m not condoning everything they said, but...

What are we going to do about all these actors, dressing up and pretending to be people they’re not? And other people film it???

No insult or insensitivity intended, but I had a couple of thoughts after seeing the film and this seems to be a proper place to express them.

Maybe come back and try that one again?

So Savile is a better case than Epstein because he was never charged for his horrifying crimes? What?

Ew, jesus. Gross.

You’re really claiming that “Europe” has had no cases like Epstein?  Because that is... wildly inaccurate.  Jimmy Savile springs to mind.

Ew, Woody Allen’s PR team has arrived. They’re so gross.

Ah, the incel take.

No, they’re not (meaning the people are not right, because neither are plotholes).
