to everyone wondering where our post was: this was it. it took a while assembling all the responses from current and former kotaku dot com staffers but all that time gave us the room to honor fahey in the best way we knew how. i didn’t get to work with him long but his personality and wit were infectious. im bummed…

That’s the brilliant secret about this all though. So far atleast, nothing that’s being done with NFTs (or blockchain) actually... requires that technology. None of these markets, none of these games would actually require it, it’s just a fad that could easily be a new parable of the “fool and his money are easily…

I concur with Jose’s love of the C4. I still dream of owning one in a cherry red, drop-top, and the goofy digital instrumentation.

I work in marketing, and this is absolutely either a raw-metrics strategy (i.e. whoever looks at the numbers only cares that the line goes up, not what’s done to make it happen) or an afterthought as part of the package deal EA signed with some ad agency, who in turn assigned it to the intern.

Please tell me this is somehow a precursor to a bunch of the PS exclusives (Spider-man, Horizon 2, etc.) getting PC releases.

Subaru owner linked Choi’s video in his gofundme to help repair/replacement costs. Choi had them take it down.

Lmao yall be taking this joke too seriously

So THAT'S Shen Long.

In 2021 Sony has cash reserves of 44 billion. They by no means had the buying power for this acquisition. With Sony’s market cap of 156 billion even an all stock merger would use such a large percentage of their stock that it would be an extremely bad idea.

So would at some point this opened box of fraud be valuable as “the 90's box of fake pokemon cards that are actually GI Joe cards that duped Logan Paul and every person it exchanged through since it’s creation” become in some weird way, valuable at all?

Did someone force all these people to play it day 1, or not play the open beta or ea trial? Of a game series that has always had buggy and problematic launches for the most part? At some point people need to be held responsible for their own decisions and not play the victim card.

my point exactly. idc about how well a game sells, if it isn’t fun to play then there’s no real reason for there to be a sequel and days gone wasn’t fun for me

Back in the pre-pandemic times, I took my bicycle to one of the weekly COTA Bike Night sessions.

I think you do pay taxes on the increase of the value of your home, that is how gentrification kicks poor people out of their homes. The place is made nicer, business returns, your shitty 50k$ place turns into a 300k$ place and you can’t afford to pay the property tax. Gentrification and property tax make it…

I genuinely dont know what the best course of action here is.

Hi - not sponsored, sorry to disappoint. I was genuinely shocked at this stuff, and for a coffee in-a-pinch sort of thing, I really do believe it’s a contender. Not for right this second, but later if coffee becomes more scarce as a crop.

yeah this sounds exactly like what Tesla currently does in the FSD beta. only real difference seems to be they are going for all sensors (radar, lidar, cameras) in contrast to Tesla which has gone from radar and cameras to just cameras.
