I’m working on my first play-through of Fire Emblem: Three Houses. I got it for Christmas, and since I’ve got a full time job and limited free time, it’s taking me a while. I’m apparently in the end-game of the Blue Lions story, so for my next game I’ll choose the Golden Deer.

You know that every single E-reader has a bookmark feature right?

I was so disappointed in OPMS2. I stopped watching, not because I hated it, but because I forgot about it. That’s not something I would’ve ever said about season 1.

I got Kingdom Hearts III on release and I got both DBZ: Kakarot and Tokyo Mirrage FE Encore also on release. Both came out basically a year after KH3. I have had more fun in the few hours playing both then I had with the entirety of KH3. Looking back I know I enjoyed the game in the moment but right now its only…

Believe it or not, it’s worse.

Exactly. Looks like using an inferior studio to cut costs is the new trend in Japan.

Why are you keeping sealed games in your possession that you don’t want? How’d you even get them? You could sell those off if you don’t want them? That’s weird, dude.

I mean, it’s been said before, but this isn’t a sequel to Kingdom Hearts II. It’s a sequel to Dream Drop Distance and Birth By Sleep. Think of it like how Infinity War is more of a sequel to Civil War and Ragnarok than Age of Ultron. 

The excerpt from this book that was published in The Washington Post this morning is enough to make you want to beat the ever loving shit out of anyone, male or female, that you see or hear defending this crass, stupid, proudly ignorant buffoon. The fact that the man selected by white folks to lead this country is so…

Tokyo Mirage Sessions is the big release for me this week. I played it on Wii U, and I’m looking forward to playing it again Switch. Fantastic RPG.

You sound a bit like me.

Damn, you've been approached by six places, plus your former dept head has scouted you? You're clearly a hot commodity! I 100% understand how it feels to be undervalued at work and how that can affect your confidence. I also have a feeling 2020 is going to be your year, professionally speaking. Best of luck!

I worked for a day drinking alcoholic once, and it sucked the life out of me, having to do absolutely everything and cover for him, too. I stayed too long, also for reasons which shouldn’t have mattered to me, like loyalty and worrying about what would happen to him (politician) if I left and he had no one to maintain…

I mean, we spend so much of our lives in the workplace, I’m surprised workplace emotional abuse isn’t discussed more as a factor in people’s lives.

It’s amazing how much a horrible work environment can mess with your head and your confidence. Years ago, I finally left a bad working environment and it made me wonder later what took me so long. Misguided loyalty?  Thinking that nobody else would want me?  It literally took me years to build up my confidence again…

i was wondering what happened to bloodstained. i mainlined that one from beginning to end, and thought it was the best side scrolling metroidvania i had played that did not star shantae.

I’ve long ago made peace with the fact that Kotaku’s authors, especially these days, do not share my gaming tastes so these lists will rarely have overlap. Like for example my game of the year is Trails of Cold Steel III which is nowhere to be found. But ya that narrowly beat out Three Houses which is the best Fire…

There’s a big Astral Chain shaped hole on this list.

i mean, if i had someone in my life who cared enough about my health and stress and diet to pay me for eating fruits and vegetables, you’re damn right my stress would go down. where do i sign up?

This is what white people do, everyday in large and small ways to PoC. They antagonize and antagonize and antagonize you, it gives them a sense of false worth to feel better than. It’s their whole persona, being “better than”. “I may be poor, but at least I ain’t a nigger!” White people are fully aware of the…
