They were phoning it in before the phone was invented.

We’re private citizens, we’re just internet randos— we’re allowed to hate and love anyone we goddamn well want to, for any/ all/ no reasons. But when you drag your personal little 8th-grade-mean-girl grievances into the public arena under a big banner, and then proceed to make a meal of it for a couple years in a row,…

It’s similar to rape apologists. Like, “Sorry, I did this terrible, dehumanizing thing that affected you in ways I can’t even imagine, I’m sure you’ve thought about it a lot since I did it, but I’m just thinking about it for the first time right now, and realizing it was a bad thing to do. I’m so proud of how far I’ve…

That was weird. I also found it strange that the author tries to justify (at least a little bit) posting the invasive photograph in 2012 by saying that we as a culture didn’t wake up to how horrible stuff like this was until 2014. Ummmm, what? No, I’m pretty sure most of us knew well before then that it’s not OK to…

“Anne Hathaway was under no obligation to talk to me—in fact, given her feelings about Jezebel, she had good reason not to”

Man, you guys owe this woman a 50-page apology. I don’t know why anybody hates her— someone didn’t like the sincerity level of a speech she gave and that’s why so many years of public abuse and loathing? Or something? But she sounds 10x smarter & more self-aware & more gracious than any writer here, in any event.

I think your post just captured the whole ‘i don’t get twitch’ sentiment pretty well. I seriously don’t understand the appeal and then stories like this where someone’s own fans troll them is just like... Of course they did, and then the streamer himself has an unmeasured response... that’s why I don’t get this whole…

Everything about this story is annoying. Obviously Squirr3l’s behavior, and the fact that they knew each other for a while. But also that Cheese did in fact break the world record, and got a bunch of donations to his channel, and all he could do was whine about the behavior of some asshole who actually paid him to…

Nah, I actually think this is what most players want. Current Destiny is a mess in terms of balancing, economy, leveling, and pretty much everything involving gear.

Yes I think you’re right. Truly a remarkable chair that allows you to get shit done while you get shit done.

Wait...can you not maintain or repair your weapons? They just break eventually no matter what?

Someone got nervous and called the cops. Cops felt like they had to do something - can’t let a weirdo walk around with a weapon now can we, even if it is legal! - and arrested him. When they realized they had nothing, they tried to make up laws or apply real ones in illegal ways, as cops are wont to do. Every other…

:| nerve wracking? Maybe in the 90s, but nowadays everything’s been pretty thoroughly idiot-proofed.

“I fought the network very hard so that those conventions could come to fruition,” he said. “So, like the first episode I do, that “Black-White Supremacist” sketch. And it’s like, ‘Well, that’s 10 minutes long. It should be five minutes long.’ Why should it be five minutes long? Like, these types of conventions.…

I agree with you. They should just let me accumulate points as I play and be able to spend them on any of the skins, weapons, voice packs, etc.

You mean with crushing disappointment as the presents are never what you actually asked for/wanted but can’t actually complain because they were presents and the person who got them for you is sitting there, looking at you all expectantly?

What a terrible analogy that completely misses the context of both situations and adds nothing to the discussion.

Yeah, since its launch Overwatch has supplanted Destiny as The Game Kotaku Talks About. Not entirely surprising, since Overwatch is just Team Fortress 2 reskinned with waifus.

On the other hand, Suicide Squad 2 just got a writer this week

Not all content is made equal. I felt that DAI disrespected my time with filler stuff that didn’t really make an impact or even represent what the game was ‘about.’ I’m playing dozens of hours of Zelda, but the game is packed with mysteries / charm, so it doesn’t feel like a waste of my time - I am still discovering…
