OK, Gary was always an asshole but... the uptick in the use of “virgin” as an insult on social media lately is annoying enough as is - but especially in this context... Judging someone by their sexuality is not OK, so why do people think it’s cool to imply that because someone hasn’t had sex (or are asexual, or are…

Oh, it’s worse. In the section for roleplaying, it asks if you’re “are a SJW warrior pushing your values on others.” This is absolute far-right basement dwelling edgelord shit.

Kind of incredible in how no subtlety was even attempted. Went out of their way to say “In case you thought about giving us the benefit of the doubt and this racist caricature wasn’t meant to disparage any real world people, let me reassure you that it was.”

Yeah I though, probably just some inappropriate tropes, art, and or other shit. Not based on an early 20th century medical texts section on race.

I legit guffawed in disbelief when I got to that race part. Even when the very title mentioned it was going to be racist, I still did not expect it to be that horrifyingly blatantly racist.

Glad someone posted this. I feel a lot people don’t understand that games like GoT and any AC game are fantasy games, they borrow an aesthetic that is loosely based on a time period and from there it’s as close to real as the LoTR’s. And I don’t mean the main character being a heroic badass I mean the world you are…

They said they signed a contract with the venue in 2020 after AGDQ 2020 ended, but before COVID-19 took over. I don’t know if the contract was for multiple years or for the following year (AGDQ 2021), but because the pandemic prevented them from holding an in-person event in the winter the last two years, they were…

Ya know. I read the headline and I figured it meant like turning pictures of people into nfts and putting those into a game. Somehow it was even worse than my imagination.

He’s not wrong biologically speaking, which is why 2nd cousins can legally marry in all 50 states. At that level, problematic recessive traits getting excessively reinforced typically only become a problem over several generations in a small population (a very small town, or perhaps early-modern European royalty)…

Think I’ve teared up three times reading this site: Mike’s struggle with gaming addiction, Mike’s story about being in a coma, and today reading this tribute.

Thank you—and thanks Mike, rest well, you made a lot of people happy. Truly Fahey was the best of us.

Nazi bastards like Joshua Moon and his ilk can fuck right off into the nearest bottomless pit or black hole and remove themselves from the universe and existence forever.

There’s an appreciation post on Reddit with 3.2k upvotes and here on Kotaku people are having to find out via the comments. I can’t remember the last time I was so disappointed in a website. 

Would have had no idea if I hadn’t seen your comment. What a massive shame, was one of the bright spots on Kotaku back in the day.

WAIT, WHAT?????

It’s been a few days now and there’s no acknowledgement of Fahey’s passing. I’m very disappointed in the current Kotaku staff.

I don’t think anyone is saying they don’t have the right to do that, I think we’re saying they should not do that and there should be social repercussions for it.

dammit this is good lol

To go with the lingo...

Oh they don’t care that someone is great a video game in general; they are only mad because this is a woman. They feel threatened by a girl being better than them, which is both ridiculous and sad.
