Thank you for not making this a slideshow - and on an unrelated side note (well, brought on by the reminder from the phrasing), happy Thanksgiving Kotaku.

Fair enough!

If Ragnarok had come out in the past two years it would have been savaged for being woke, LGBTQ-adjacent, kiddie bullshit that “ruined Thor’s deep Viking heritage and lore.” It caught a nice dip where angry men were at least stoked that Trump was president and the last Thor movie was so mediocre no one really cared.

I’m a big fan of Raknarok, and Love & Thunder is the most I’ve enjoyed anything from Marvel since the first Iron Man and Captain America: First Avenger. But a change in direction for Thor sounds good too.

I honestly don’t get how people love Ragnarok, but hate Love and Thunder. They’re so similar.

I get what you and OP are saying, but please stop with this. Like, we know both sides have dirty hands, fine. I’m not arguing with that.

It’s one way to find a bunch of day 0 vulnerabilities and put in a backdoor or 5, I guess...

“He screams at people and at one point I was genuinely scared of him but he’s such a nice guy!”

I’m not sure how the fetishization of the police force in the media doesn’t fall under the umbrella of racism, late stage capitalism, or military spending. 

The Tracer Bobby skin actually has some deep lore. See, she was answering a call at King’s Row and...she shot a lad. He was 13 years old. Blimey, it was dark. She couldn’t see him. He had a ray gun, looked real enough.

I mean, it’s not, but that’s the kinda of talking point that republicans, conservatives, and other regressive types love to perpetuate because it stifles debate about issues and topics that they don’t want to talk about because it makes them uncomfortable.

I will die on the hill I don’t give a flying F about gamepass or any similar service and especially “games as a service”. Exclusives moves consoles. I don’t want a video game cable box. Digital game format being cheaper my ass. I saaw this over a decade ago and there’s games that are unplayable now. Give me the disc.…

...which is a problem that only exists because the TEAM of talented engineers that were *already there* got canned.

Important to note: if this deal goes through Microsoft becomes the 3rd largest company by revenue in the video game market. Sony still dominates the space and if anything Sony should be the one investigated for antitrust actions. Forcing publishers offer two hours of every game for free to Sony subscribers or be…

Just because the guy is a talented coder/engineer/hacker doesn’t mean he has good taste in human beings.

The statements on learning curve are true given the graph in the accompanying image.

I’m sure he’s very talented (and probably using Musk’s desperation to add to his resume), but also he’s setting himself up for getting roasted here.

Why would a hacker possibly want to work for free, unless the actual payment was to be able to access servers and source code for down the road, with the being none the wiser to whatever he is planning? No wooden horse even needed.

Most of that barely qualifies as true shorthand.  That’s just folks being dirty.

While every game has its own shorthand, there is something uniquely twisted and perverted about the slang used in Overwatch 2. In a way, it’s incredibly fitting for a game marked by both diversity in cast and player base as well as toxicity in its competitive modes.
