Oh geez, I just remembered Middleditch & Schwartz which was amazing.

I don’t like how all these apology statements talk about how the person may have “hurt” other people and other communities. When minorities are angry, we are not angry because we are victims, like we are weak people to are slighted by the smallest breeze. We are angry because you disrespected us. You signaled that you…

If there were so little reason for the Xbox to exist, there wouldn’t be millions of Xboxes in the world. People really need to let the “just build a gaming PC” take die, it just makes you look myopic. 

I mostly just want to explore a harsh and strange land. Kill some stuff and maybe get killed by some stuff without having to worry about 40 sub-systems monitoring my gastrointestinal tract.

If you mostly don’t like survival games, this is the one to play if you want to ever have a shot at enjoying one. It’s $20. It’s worth the try. It is definitely a survival game, not an exploration game. You have to gather and craft, you have to eat - but you don’t always have to do that stuff. If you aren’t planning…

Honestly having been burnt out similarly by survival game and finally having dipped my toes I can confirm Valheim might be that gem.

Like... it removes all that’s “meter-based” in other games. Starvation is gone, thirst is gone. Food is purely ingredients that give you buffs with your only worry being renewing the buff…

The thing to remember is Valheim is still early on.

I’m with you on this. It always sounds great, but most of the time I just don’t want to deal with a bunch of mechanics when I play a game. With that being said, let me assure you that Valheim doesn’t make you feel overwhelmed by the survival mechanics. For example, food is there to increase your stats, but you’d have…

My wife died in a dungeon as a healer and the other healer didn’t raise her because “You don’t even DPS so you deserve to stay dead.”  It’s not a common thing to find in 14, but when you do they show themselves to be total garbage.

Honestly, having someone do that to me in any non-raid dungeon is like “Okay, cool, going to add you to my blacklist and keep on moving.”

I have very little time to play games these days, and when I do hop on I don’t need some dipshit telling me how to maximize my damage and threatening to vote kick me from dungeons…

That mentality is present, but I’ve run into my fair share of the following type of conversation:
Them: “You’re doing it wrong, get better and read a class guide”
Player: “Sir, this is Sastasha.”

I was *just* thinking about this game/show/thing. I was looking at the wiki page, but missed the part where it was still active. I wonder how the big the community was, or rather, how cheap maintenance was to justify keeping it operational.

Look, I know plenty of people think Destiny 2 is a bad game; great, you’re 100% entitled to that opinion.

I think the linearity actually worked to the story’s favor - these characters are fated to perform a specific task and most of the game is them wavering over whether or not they actually had a choice. When they finally decide that no, they wouldn’t do that and damn the consequences, that’s when the game opens up on…

I couldn’t stand Trump and I’m not expecting hard hitting political journalist from Kotaku, so nothing against this article or anything. (I know it’s just in good fun) But this is such a great example of what the next 4 years in the media is going to look like for Biden.

I was saying in the article about the ellie casting that Timothy Olyphant wouldbe a great Joel, but I take it back. Pascal is a brilliant actor and I believe he can capture that stubborn bull headedness + protective dad really well since he already kind of does it in a less emotive way and still manages to make it…

Man I was really hoping for Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.

Streaming will forever be something I just do not get. Like are these dbags hate/rage-watching women stream? Each passing day also moves me more into the “internet was a mistake” camp.

You can disable your microphone by default in the system settings, and you can click the mute button once on your controller and never worry about it as long as its on.
