We’d be living in a socialist utopia right now if it wasn’t for that bastard Tom Nook.

Don’t be silly, GTA is responsible for car theft.

I didn’t think concussions while playing video games were all that common.

Are people actually implying football’s popularity is due to a video game, and not the other way around?

I appreciate Kotaku’s reporting of the Activision-Blizzard fiasco, and the generally quality journalism that comes from the site. I hope that everyone on staff continues to deliver great content that keeps me coming back.

So... a guy who doesn’t even work for Blizzard anymore, goes on a right-wing Discord and post some stuff Kotaku writers don’t agree with. Quick, write a story with the Blizzard logo as the main image.

So here the article says that black people need a story and nuance to how they came to be in the story:

“One major factor being that sometimes Blackness isn’t even part of how those characters are conceived from the beginning. “They write a character in mind, and that character is pretty flavorless. He ain’t got a lot…

I had the exact same thoughts! The idea that all black people share the same culture is clearly absurd - possibly the author is so American-centric that he overlooks the fact that American blacks comprise about 1% of all blacks in the world.

‘Nuances in the voice’? Really? I know a black person whose native language…

Why should your real world shared cultural experiences, (whatever that even means), be represented by a fictional character in a science-fiction/fantasy setting who would have no actual way of experiencing said culture? Black characters are only valid if they directly reference the trials and tribulations of American…

The only people lamenting the banning of Vaush and Hasan Piker are the idiots that listen to him religiously. The amount of people nodding along with those fools are just the suckers of the day as they take the money and run with it.

The sentiment is that it’s a pejorative. It’s a racial epithet being used in a negative way. If you accept some and not others, then you’re deciding based on skin color. Do you know what kind of person evaluates value based on skin color?

As someone who still has fond memories of QTEs thanks to Shenmue I’ll just say don’t threaten me with a good time.

I mean... they added the original anime like two weeks before premiere.

GodDAMN Fashion SWAT is still some of the funniest shit in the English language. I once read Video Game SWAT out loud to a friend and he was laughing so hard I was afraid he might pass out.

Photoshop Phriday, Comedy Goldmine

TIL Maxnmona co-created Welcome to Nightvale. Damn SA was a fucking treasure. 

and now he’s dead, and you’re full of petty spite. clearly the man was quite emotionally tortured. he founded the website—even your absolutism can’t deny him credit for doing so.

So they’re going the demonize the body and demonize sexuality route. Sexuality is not objectification, and acting like an ally of the would-be ‘80s and ‘90s theocratic movement isn’t “progressive.” Sexual jokes and innuendo aren’t bad on thier own. Making a tongue in cheek pun about testicles isn’t terrible, nor would…
