I am eagerly awaiting your plan to get California builders to stop building on flood plains.  I have no fix for it, I’m really glad you are going to be solving this.

The point is that this was not a Nightmare for most Californians. For most of us it was great, totally welcome, bring it on. The entirety of California was not held hostage by these rains and most of us just went on with our lives and are grateful for the help with the drought.

Look, if we can’t get the water decently all year, and we can’t because of climate change, then yes it is a good thing that we got the water and our snowpack is magnificently stuffed after 5 years of excruciating drought.

We got some Weather for the first time since 2015, which has exposed a lot of shitty building practices, and people who just don’t know how to deal with Weather have had problems. I feel bad for those people, but this is really something we should hope to get every January - for most people it has not been a…

Just keep in mind that if you’re coming from a gas stove an electric stove will be a huge step down in performance. (I’m not including induction - those are technically electric, but a very different thing.) They’re much slower to heat up and much slower to cool down. Your control is crap.

Tesla is not the only company to offer cars with driving assistance

Well, the PS5 comes with 16 GB of RAM, so there’s your minimum. then keep in mind that PS5 games are optimized for PS5 so your random crap stapled together with Windows on top PC is going to need some extra breathing room. And the PS5 (Like XB Series) ‘cheats’ for 4k with checkerboard rendering, so if you want true 4K…

For some people it’s been a ‘nightmare’, especially people who built houses in flood plains or don’t heed the warnings to keep away from fast moving water (multiple people in LA just this weekend rescued from rivers). But for a lot of us this has been awesome. We needed the water, and it would be great if we had the…

Oh man, a pin pulling ad is sure sign of a terrible game. I just checked, Evony is still there, like an unkillable cockroach.

No, why should they?  It’s good that different writers have different perspectives.  Only dumbfucks think The Site has a Hive Mind that has a Fixed Opinion on any given game because they have agendas they need to uselessly flog at every opportunity.   I appreciate how different writers at Kotaku have different…

I salute your sacrifice.

Although some cyclists may look down on electric bikes and wonder what’s the point of going for a ride when the bike does most of the work for you, a pedal-assist electric motor can make a bicycle a more viable alternative to a car for daily commutes.

Real journalism involves information-added research - novel facts, or at least novel synthesis. Most ‘journalists’ these days are just people reposting / rewriting press releases or something they saw on twitter. That applies to TV, radio, and newspaper ‘news’ as well (except for the few instances of actually novel…

Anyone feeling confident about Tesla’s ‘full self driving’ is a moron or a Muskbro (but there’s extreme Venn diagram overlap there). Sure it mostly works. but given the number of miles driven and the consequences when it doesn’t work, the outliers are huge.  I sure wouldn’t trust my life to it.

Afeela bad for that terrible car name.

See, you have to understand that Kotaku has different writers. There is no Kotaku hive mind. So one writer can hate a game (or anime) to death and another can love it to death and there is no hypocrisy. There are very few things that you can say that ‘Kotaku’ has a united front on, other than being generally opposed…

You have ‘NFT’ and ‘Paul Logan’, and that’s all you need to know it’s a giant scam, though thank you for documenting it. But what more did you need, Trump endorsing it?

I can see why Pentiment doesn’t make the top 10 since it doesn’t involve killing things, but it no question had the best writing and the best UI of the year.

It’s ‘solo or co-op’ but honestly you have to be playing co-op to really appreciate it, so that makes it tough since reviewers are usually head down speed run solo.

Believe me, we’re still looking for good software/firmware engineers - they’re still hard to find.
