Ah I remember the good ol’ days when we might be lucky enough to get a new videogame or two for Christmas and possibly on our birthday and if you could beat a game in 5-10 hours it was a total ripoff.

This is damn good writing, A.A. It resonated with me in many ways. Like you, it seems, I grew up in a household that could be kindly described as volatile, under the thumb of a cruel and violent stepfather and a mother who encouraged and occasionally participated in what he did. And also like you, I first read IT at…
I wonder how popular this will be, given that theres already versions of it out there, and have been for a while, and it’s not really a “better when portable” game.

DAMN YOU, LINEAR TIME!
It’s heartbreaking. Folks like Javy Gwaltney and Suriel Vazquez were doing invaluable work critically and covering certain communities. That anyone would let them go is mind-boggling.
I hope the remaining staff come together to unionize their newsroom ASAP.
try making video essays! make an essay about your favorite game and see through all aspects of production of a comprehensive video about it. i did that for the dragon quest series in celebration of dragon quest xi, and people seemed to like that one. i mean, to be fair, i did that while working here, though you know…
Who is your pick the best game diarist at Kotaku and why is it Gita?
Ghost Recon: Wildlands. I’ve gone back to it a few times and it’s just... I still think it’s basically irredeemable.
For me... God of War or The Witness
Some sort of freak three way tie between Blooodborne, Nier Automata, and Tetris Effect.
