She is a grown adult and knew what she was getting into.

Same, but I gather that’s actually a pretty rare thing at our age. I eat pretty much everything I ate when I was in my twenties without issue, albeit in more reasonable portions, but will still occasionally scarf a pint of ice cream in one go (for entirely necessary mental health reasons.)

While I’m a fan of Wet Ass Pavement, I expect Ben Shapiro is uninstalling the game right now.

Because playing dumb gives Sony a marketing campaign that they don’t had to spend a dime on. If they acknowledged Garfield is in the movie back when it leaked, AV Club’s not writing articles about his interview today and we’re off discussing something else.

To think there were no black people in that time, or no black spartans is the problem.

That was quite the faceplant. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a comment section on a Kotaku article as united as that one was in pointing out how wrong the headline was.

Who gives a flying fuck about a black person portraying a completely fictional character?

George Washington can’t be black.

On the contrary, the US legal system even has a court of apeels.

Yep. Epic’s choice to kick off the legal argument by deliberately violating the developer agreement was very short-sighted. Apple’s entirely within their rights to say they won’t allow a dev that willfully breeched their terms back on the App Store, and so Epic’s cut of iOS Fortnite sales goes from 70% of millions to…

That point was one of Apple’s legal arguments, that they could guarantee security only within iOS, and not with external payment options. They also tried to claim the risk of fraud/compromised info via third party would negatively impact Apple’s reputation as a secure partner. Apparently the judge didn’t buy that.

“The reason it’s a win for Epic is that they now have a way to let Epic keep that 30% (or less) of purchases in Fortnite that Apple would have otherwise received.”

Well, yeah, that’s my point. John wants “those devs monk-like, copying it out in big, beautiful hand-painted lettering, with reverence, fear, and shiny ray-traced graphics.” It sounds to me like he’s asking for a remaster, not a remake.

I was just about to post an FF7R comparison. That game was made interesting not by slavishly copying what had been done before, but in taking opportunities to update the story in some ways and noticeably change it in others so that it’s not purely a repetition of its predecessor. If a remake is going to be literally…

I agree. Recognizing a 16-year old video game as part of the canonical Matrix story is exactly the sort of meta weirdness that defines the franchise.

Maybe, but what have the Wachowskis ever made that feels like a mainstream nostalgia riff? Cranking out a Jurassic World doesn’t seem like something either of them would want to do.

Dude, I’m sorry for making fun of your financial plan - that was totally not cool of me. Good luck peeling your pound of flesh off those rich sons of bitches!

Invest for a two dollar return? Goddamn, look at Warren Buffett over here, gonna make some fucking bank!

For fucks sake. Can we just put an Echo Dot on the podium and let Alexa give the answers?

Tell me you haven’t had Wendy’s fries in 11 years without telling me you haven’t had Wendy’s fries in 11 years.
