Yeah, I’m literally waking up early for the morning shift tomorrow. 

Why am I continually seeing people spam that wildly incorrect report from a nobody website? Nobody has been fired, we’re all still here doin’ our thing. Like these posts, which you’re commenting under right now.

They haven’t been fired. Only Barry from Deadspin was fired. Kotaku staffers are just showing support and solidarity on Twitter but no Kotaku members have been fired. This article claiming this was poorly researched- Barry never worked for Kotaku.

Good to hear. Hope thats still the case when this settles.

Fun fact: nobody has been fired, we’re all still here and still doin’ our thing.

Good on you for the solidarity kotaku has shown today. I’m sorry you’re all going through this. We’re with you.

I’m already seeing the comments, so let’s be clear about something here:

“Cancel Culture” did not kill Alec Holowka. We don’t yet have the full picture of how he died, but it sounds as if he died by suicide, and had been suffering from a host of psychological and personal difficulties prior to that final, tragic act.

No…

As with all things sensitive like this, avoid the greys. People will use any event to spread their abuse and hate, even something like this. Ignore them.

Pretty impressive actually.

I enjoyed this way more than I should have.

Actually, Bungie split from Microsoft in 2007. Part of the deal was that they’d make two more Halo games (ODST and Reach) during the first few years of their independence.

Kinda related but...like...every once in a while I get hit with this visceral exestential dread that you can buy a gun in the same store I buy my toothpaste and hot pockets. I’ve lived in this country for most of my life and I still occasionaly get freaked out that my local library has to specify both food and guns…

Or brave enough to remove the guns themselves.

Pussies, the lot of em. Deflecting because our liar in chief said so shows the executives of Walmart being spineless and compliant. 

I love the pandering. You are so brave for taking down the signage but not brave enough to remove the games.

“Why remove the actual weapons from sale (and therefore make it just a little bit harder to get them) when we can remove the in-store media that shows those weapons in action instead?”

Sometimes they just throw in random things, there is a level in the beginning of the base game on the EDZ that, if you’re good enough, you can jump from platform to platform all the way to the top and there is a small cave with a human skeleton in it. To this day I don’t think anyone has found its significance, just a…

Well, at least I’m not the only one. Yes, the fact that she is surrounded by hundreds of leering men here is kind of creepy.

I don’t know why, and I’ve never felt this about any other cosplay, but this feels deeply...I don’t know...weird/creepy/lame? And I can’t quite explain to myself as to why.

I have this and I’d recommend it. There’s definitely a volume sweet spot for DTS VirtualX, albeit a generous one. If you have the volume too low, your ability to discern that the sound is coming from in front of you overpowers the resonance effects used to trick you into hearing rear and vertical surround.
