Nice job with the thesaurus. Doesn’t change the fact that what you’re saying is bunk!

“Worthy philosophical arguments”...are you serious? I hate to break it to you, but you live in a world structured by forces of power and control, not your sense of intellectual rigor. You want to go discursive, read Foucault, read Sunera Thobani, read Sara Ahmed. They’re all profoundly “philosophical”, and they will…

The “court of law” you’re referring to has an atrocious record when it comes to supporting sexual assault survivors. If you think rape only happens when lawyers and judges say it does, you are willfully ignorant. Did it ever occur to you that a legal system implemented by virtually all men might not be well equipped…

Actually, what I asked was why Kotaku is promoting the work of a known and unapologetic sexual assaulter who makes a living making fun of the kinds of things he perpetrates. You took it personally because you felt like your right to enjoy the game was being challenged, and tried to start a debate about humor, which is…

You’re entitled to a different sense of humor, by all means. And if that sense of humor includes making fun of rape and dead sex workers, you are an idiot. Also this has nothing to do with my comment, except that you proved it.

TL; DR Sexually assaultive jackass continues to profit from shitty card-game for would-be libertines while showing no signs whatsoever of personal accountability. Why are y’all promoting this B.S.?

Speaking from a lot of professional experience trying to help people with budget gear get decent voice over recordings, a mic with a slightly better capsule is going to do very little in the way of diminishing background noise. In fact, a more sensitive pickup pattern may actually intensify things like fan noise,…
the Mortal Kombat one is superimposed over an image of Josh Burdette, who did security at the 930 club in DC for ages and died 3 years ago. kinda weird using the Washington Post obit photo, esp given the circumstances of his passing.
And it’s perfectly fine if that’s your hierarchy of needs. I’m not questioning your right to decide how you’d spend your minimal cash; I’m saying it’s patronizing and useless to tell other people how they should spend theirs. Homelessness isn’t monolithic, and the ways people survive it aren’t either. You have…
“Your” homeless are, in fact, people who have just as much right to access technology as anyone else. Snide-ass complaining about how other people spend their money is boring and pointless. Shut yer yap.
Luckily, The Little Snowpiercer that Could is already a brilliant YA novel called Railsea by China Mieville. It may be on the light side for fans of his other work, but the world-building and character development are so freaking compelling it’s easy to look past the loosey-goosey heavy-handed end bits.
“Video game company makes rare gesture acknowledging existence of power in world; whiners with disproportionate share of said power whiney whine whine.” I can’t imagine there’s much else intelligible to say about this.
This article is fascinating in and of itself, but did anybody else think it was about Harvey Keitel at first?
I posted a lengthier review on Slain’s Steam forum, but the short version is: this game looks beautiful, has a ripping soundtrack, and otherwise plays like an unfinished tech demo. It’s a damn shame. The devs have promised they’re already upgrading the GOG build I bought, but my fear is it’s gonna be a long haul.…
In downtown Seattle, the north-south avenues are intersected by incredibly steep (> 18% grade) cross streets descending towards the Sound.
Uhh, maybe they should have just censored the entire anime on the basis of the fact that those "roaches" are some of the most some heavy handedly racist, xenophobic depictions of blackness this side of 1935. Yall are having the wrong argument. Eesh, Kotaku.
Actually, it's nothing like saying a person of a particular race might be more inclined to commit a robbery, because those assertions have absolutely no factual basis. On the other hand, you COULD assert that a person of a particular race is more likely to be harrassed/arrested/beaten by the police, or that the prison…
Hate to say it, but this "revision" reeks of hand-wringing and sexist erasure of the completely legitimate criticism Patricia Hernandez originally raised. As a guy who struggles with Kotaku's "community" machismo and the bravado of the self-appointed "logicians" who flail their tongues anytime anybody implies that…
It never ceases to amaze/trouble me how quickly people jump down the throats of anyone on Kotaku who dares to insinuate that there is structural violence in the world which may need dealing with by people in positions of (relative) power. All of you obsessing about Temkin's "right to defend himself" are completely…
