I always loved that about The Division. In an intense firefight, when it takes too long to reload main gun, you switch to the pistol, which reloads faster and has unlimited ammo. With the right pistol, it’s absolutely devastating too.

So, there was a demo video of the Amico’s big pack-in game Cornhole (aka bean bag toss) and there was at least a second and a half delay between the motion control and the game acknowledging it.

In regular RDR2 I fondly remember taking out a group of kkk, capturing the leader, hogtieing him and throwing him on the back of my horse, took him to the train tracks, threw him on the ground positioned my horse so he shit on him then left him on the tracks till a train came. After he was run over by the train I put…

Exit 5 NJTP.  That is all that needs to be said.  Racism is not just in the South.  

Not sure what’s not inclusive about a black woman giving kudos to another black woman and acknowledging their shared identity. I love talking with other Puerto Ricans about being in the industry and what it’s like.

Since the comments keep coming, just want to let you all know that I edited this piece, including the headline. I, like all the others Kotaku editors, are the final call on what gets published, and sometimes we get things wrong. But this is not one of those times.

Dope article, Ash. Btw I find it fucking insane that a bunch of comments in here are telling you how to do your job. You’ve got the utmost patience for replying to all of them!

The people that the article bothers are bothered because it’s a black writer celebrating a black woman’s accomplishment. They wouldn’t be any less bothered if she had been more subtle about it, they’re upset that Ash had the audacity to be black and talk about this woman’s accomplishment from that perspective.

The responses to her are exactly WHY this article needs to exist.

Well, just from an advertising standpoint how many adverts can you remember from the 90s that had a Black child? Video games and more “geeky” hobbies have come a long way in the inclusion department. But let’s not pretend that for a long time and even now in many regards the default idea of the video game audience or…

I’m mostly impressed you managed to make this article without recognizing the Mack truck sized hole in your objection. Shouldn’t you also object to “woman” because her gender shouldn’t matter at all? (Hey, she’s also an electrical engineer! I hope it bugged the shit out of you that that was noted as well. Her…

“When I describe her (or anyone else in this space) as Black, I’m not doing it for you. It’s for other Black people who want to know that we are here and have always been. It is important.”
100% Yes. This is why I clicked on the article. 

So if a disabled person accomplished something incredible in a space that’s historically been very unfriendly to disabled people, would you consider it inappropriate to use the term “disabled” in the ensuing news headline? 

I am feel uncomfortable when we are not about me.

Ash and I are the exact same age and they are 100% correct in this statement. Black women in gaming are an afterthought. Whether is in development or from a player standpoint.

Holy shit Ash I do not know how you have the patience to put up with all the dumb replies here (and presumably, everywhere).

No. For reasons explained by reading the blog.

No, they aren’t why she got the records but that she got those records being who she is is important. It’s okay, not everything is for you. When I speak like this, I’m talking to my people, not you, who need to see this. Right now we could name several white male devs. To us, they are household names. We could not do…

Does mentioning her race in the headline diminish the story? Nope.
Does it devalue her accomplishment? Nope.
Does it garner extra attention for the story?
Well, let’s see what you think, “I would have clicked on that title out of curiosity to see her game collection.” I guess not.

Hey! Totally understand your concern, especially because of way women get erased, but for a bit of journalism inside baseball, unless a person is super well known (and I mean really well-known) names don’t often go in heds. My colleague Zack put it better in a tweet of his:

“Someone Did Something Cool
“Put their name…
