This seems like a tacit admission on MS’ part that after the 10 year guarantees they’re signing to try and get the deal across the finish line expire, they are in fact going to do all the things that people are afraid they’re going to do (Xbox exclusivity for COD, etc.)?

I know it’s a joke and meme but it’s sad that a 38 year old man actually thought saying “in Minecraft” somehow made him immune to being charged with making death threats.

Haru is great in Strikers when she actually gets some time.

She’s very funny in Strikers where she gets more screentime. She gets the best line of the game too when the Thieves reject Zenkichi’s initial offer of help, telling him in a cheery voice that “we despise the police”.

If you haven’t played P5 Strikers give it a go. The Floof gets a bit more focus than the rest of the characters, probably to make up for being out of focus in the main game.

Actually to add on to this, you know who REALLY need more time for character development than shit head cop? Fucking Haru.

A microcosm of a bigger problem in the scene. I love OW, but I can’t tell you how many times I have heard someone drop slurs or belittle women in voice chat....to be honest this is a problem of the gaming community as a whole

Yeah that was bad too, what the hell is your point

Even worse than the people who immediately jump to defend these people and their mistakes are the people who are adamant that there is no possible road to redemption.

Stop being so cynical. 

I don’t disagree. But a path to redemption should be possible.

As an outsider, I’m inclined to agree. But imo, that judgment is best reserved for those who were abused and affected by his actions.

While I get what you’re trying to say, just gonna throw this out there; a lot of the “everyday” activities described here are still escapism for someone like me, who has only ever lived in an American suburban sprawl environment where these are absolutely not common everyday occurrences that I can relate to.

I have Dehya on level 90 and triple crowned and my Xinyan hits way harder than her. In fact she hits three times harder with her normal attacks with less investment.

So far my phone has been constantly freezing or crashing with this new kotaku look, and even when it's not crashing, everything is super laggy. Thanks herb

By Genshin standards Dehya IS one of the darker skinned characters.

The most accessible Soulslike to date is Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order that had an actual difficulty setting. It’s the only reason I beat it and enjoyed it as much as I did. I’ve tried many Souls games and just can’t seem to git gud enough to get past the first boss in any of them. 

loads of people did! look at the steam stats! the storyline is SO URGENT that it practically shoves you through it, and there’s no way of knowing at the time that you won’t be able to endgame stuff like you could in TW3 (the warning you get could be better worded). 

As someone who worked on it... I’m happy you finally gave it a real chance and got some enjoyment out of it. :)

I don’t know if I’ve ever been on a journey like this in video games, or ever will again.

That’s interesting, because at least in the early 2000s I sensed very little discriminatory intent when people used the term in English discourse ...
