I honestly wish I knew myself. Most of Kotaku’s writers are scattered among different publications. I know of Defector, but I can’t spare that level of money, even for great writing. I don’t think there will be anything like old Kotaku like there is Deadspin.

Thanks for the heads up. I think this weekend that i’ll dig in and begin to learn the game as I have a few days off and can devote some time towards it. Do you have any other tips?

Brief chats with outgoing writers and just poking my nose about. The commenting areas also reflect it too. I don’t have beef with any of the new staff at all, but the site is clearly on a downturn, which is why everyone ran for the hills after they fucked up Deadspin.

I learned quickly to never -ever- order double meat at Subway. Double meat today is what used to be ‘regular’ about a good ten years ago, maybe longer and they charge though the nose.

Same here. At first, it seemed like Kotaku would remain Kotaku for the most part. The at length articles, new stuff like Morning Music and so on were very Kotaku, but they went away. The fact that the place is dead as hell after 6-7pm EST Fridays with almost no weekend posts or reasons to visit makes me sad. 

Non-friendly to newbs is one of the things that keeps me from really digging deep in 4X games. I know that they are meant to be chipped away at bit by bit. I have Civ 6 but have yet to really sit down and spend time on it each day learning the systems because for some reason, I can only keep the systems of two games…

They don’t care about poor people true, but they do care about their power and they need poor people to keep them there. People voting against their best interests is how the GOP has continued to gain power post Jesus Reagan going in the ground for the final time.

We had 50 folks die at a concert from a guy who had more guns then the police and that did jack shit. The -only- reason the needle moved this time is we are starting to see large numbers of people die every single week. A shitload of dead people (Mostly kids) are the only thing that will change things and it has to…

No need for anything new when they can use reuse the same shit they’ve been using for the last 35 years. The only way gun control is going to happen is sadly, if we have hundreds of children getting mowed down week after week. It has to become so common place that there’s no longer even any breaking news flashes on TV…

It’s not just Kotaku. Scuttlebutt is that slideshows are likely being pushed from on high due to higher clicks. Most of the writers don’t care for them, but when told effectively “You really should use more slideshows” by the higher ups, well...

This ‘they might judge against us in revenge’ mindset is pointless. They are going to do it anyway, no matter how many times you handle them with kid gloves. Roberts has already been disregarded and the GOP has taken measures to ensure they don’t fall out of power again.

This just proves gamers have extremely short memories.

Mr Rogers was so good and kind and lived it 24/7 that of course cancer had to eat him alive and take him from us far too soon. The man was the very def of a unicorn.

Trump had a never ending stream of nonsense flowing from his mouth the moment he realized he could never get anywhere as a Dem and switched to the GOP and weaponized the USA’s racism issue on a never before seen scale.

Piccolo after having a taste of what low-level Saiyans could do and being witness to Gohan’s hidden power likely knew that Earth would need as many trump cards as it could get. He did run Gohan ragged and showed little mercy, but most likely wasn’t expecting to end up being 2nd dad, but when it came down to it, he…

He’s the new Bill and Hillary. A boogieman to make sure the right gets their fat, racist asses voting in every election from the bottom up so that it never happens again. Even when the Clinton’s and Obama are dead in the ground, the GOP will still be invoking them.

I find since getting a PS5 that the bucketloads of shit are much noticeable. On my PS4 Pro, if I wanted terrible, fast food value menu priced trash, I had to go a few levels deep. Now, more often then not, the moment you scroll into the stores, the trash is right there and takes going a few levels deep to get away…

Nigga, you don’t have enough time because you regularly would skeet into their mommas and think nothing of it. If you had any REAL fucking guilt, you would wrap it, or have gotten the snip ages ago. You think your other kids are going to accept “lol, i’m a player, gotta do what I do” as they get older and realize you…

Depends. Is Pete one of the worst dads in the history of bad comic fathers?

He’s a fired man walking and he knows it. What the uni will most likely do is remove him from active classes and square him away until they can find cause to get rid of him for real. Which he knows and expects and i’m sure there’s a lovely grifting talk circuit invite waiting for him when it does happen.
