He’s not wrong. The one time a mainline Star Wars entry tried to do anything different the “fans” attacked it so much Disney put out the most generic followup you could think of and hasn’t done anything risky since.

Wild that so many people still have trouble understanding this concept.

Consolidation is not really good from a consumer perspective, even if we as gamers view it as the potential for MS to take over and make better games and improve the work culture. Consolidation is one of the chief aspects of modern corporatism that facilitates monocultures within companies, power abuses from the top…

I grew up on Power Rangers and Rob Liefeld drawn comics... terrible looking, dumb fun. Try not to worry about the CGI all that much, and focus on whether the content is enjoyable or not. I’ve treated the MCU as very expensive cartoons since day 1 and it’s been wonderful.

“Blazing Saddles couldn’t get made today” is such a tired old saw that seems about as lacking in subtlety of thought as the straw-men audiences it assumes would be unable to grasp the movie’s perspective and commentary.

Even moreso to have the haughtiness to believe you represent “normal people.”

Nothing more detached from reality than maintaining the delusion that living in a specific state makes you detached from reality.

Obi Wan’s sole use of “Darth” stands out in the context of the rest of the franchise and its use here was clearly meant to massage that a bit.

No it’s unfunny because it’s making fun of disabled people

I’m afraid that the criticism of this post is missing the mark and you’ll take the wrong lesson. Its important you know how unfunny it is. Not because it’s politically incorrect or too edgy. It’s just not funny or clever. First off the purple tie and suit detail adds nothing.  It’s just extra words that’s trying to…

They were on strike for most of the past week along with the writers from a bunch of the other sites in this conglomerate. Just came back today I think, which is why there’ve been so many articles today compared to the past few days.

I love this type of baked in tut because you can totally skip it when doing a new build to save time. Really enjoying taking my time and avoiding spoilers for this amazing game. BTW Congrats on the big win! Glad to have Kotaku and it’s writers back!

I’ve been playing through it with a friend and bots and we’ve found it much more tolerable than with the matchmaking.  Last night with had a PUG playing holly who would wait into big groups of zombies with the bat and get beaten for half her HP, smash every alarmed door she would see, and snipe every piece of loot we…

So far this game has been pretty frustrating for me. Started with a buddy last night, we tried public at first but the randos we were with ran right through the level and didn’t ping anything on the way so we were left scrambling to keep up. We switched to a private lobby so we could try and enjoy the experience and…

Captain Carter also almost certainly shows up again this season too. They’ve said T’Challa-Lord is in 4 episodes, the trailers have a shot of Carter meeting with a Doctor Strange. It’s going to lead to some sort of Avengers/Guardians of the Multiverse finale.

Captain Britain is a completely different mythology and it would have made it difficult to introduce the real one later.

“But, unfortunately, there is that aforementioned stumble. Hold on while I get real nerdy with this: In Captain America: The First Avenger, the Tesseract that the Red Skull initially finds in the church is a fake, and the real one is hidden nearby. In this episode, (and maybe this is just me missing it) the sequence…

“Listen, I’m as tired as everyone else of identity politics being dragged into every little discussion, but can I take a moment to drag identity politics into this discussion? People get awfully hyperbolic about this stuff; I sure hope a bloodthirsty mob doesn’t drag me out into the street and tear me apart for saying…

“Nice straw man you have there.”

There’s nothing like watching someone trip over themselves apologizing for an opinion that they didn’t need to share in the first place.
