Counter-counterpoint: I don’t know which first book of the SA you read, but it presents a consistent message of slavery where people are beaten down and dehumanized to the point that committing suicide is considered a relief. Slavery is nearly impossible to escape, even with superhuman efforts. The main character that…

I’ve gotten used to the default background but I do miss my PS4 Fireplace theme. I don’t get the lack of themes as it seems like such an easy way to make a quick buck for Sony. But then I don’t know what goes into hosting them on the PSN servers. Maybe the cost of storage outweighs the $2-3.

Too bad we’ll never hear a speech from a salty internet-nobody like you, I bet you’d show everyone how it’s done properly, champ!

Just buy a fucking PC, they won’t pull this crap on you.

Are we talking about the company which games never go on sale even years after their releases? The Switch is almost 6 years old and they are not selling it at a loss, and I don’t think it lowered its price ever since the release. Both Xbox and the PS5 are sold at a loss... So huh... weird point to make. They all want…

Everyone pretends to be immune to advertising and how it manipulates you, but really no one is they’re just aware of the advertising that isn’t working on them.

On the contrary. If we want change in this industry, we have to be willing to be the tip of the spear. Customers and gamers have to be able to say, “enough is enough.”

This is going to hurt. But in a good way.

Then don’t watch it.  But plenty of people are able to read a book and also enjoy a filmed adaptation of the story, or adapted as a stage play, or adapted as a comic.  Shouldn’t be that hard of a concept for someone to get.

That particular Hank Williams song has been used to promote the game in the past. You can find it in the Gamescom 2012 promo trailer for the first LOTU game.

Gustavo Santaolalla is credited for the TV show on IMDB, so he, or at least his music, are going to be used in the show in some capacity.

Anything that even has a whiff of “this might become popular” attracts naysayers by the droves. 

Imma head off the naysayers by saying, fuck yeah. Can’t wait.

You’re surprised that Harry Potter, a franchise with a very large fandom, has people very hyped for one of the few big budget Harry Potter games to come out in a very long time?

I’m actually not seeing the Mass Effect offer.  I see the other free games, but no Mass Effect.  Is it not available until Prime Day starts?

This sounds like the result of Sega (and to be fair, most major game studios) using archaic project management ideologies.

Forward thinking software companies learned a long time ago that hard deadlines created in the first half of a product’s lifecycle aren’t feasible on a technology project. There are too many…

Check your browser or the video again, it’s available in up to 2160p.

Yeah, but in fairness “I made a liquid cooled PS5 using a water loop carved in copper the size of the whole motherboard” is actually even more interesting if you know why it’s interesting and “I made a slim PS5" is gonna get some normies through the door and a spot on Kotaku, so good job on both the promotion and the…

Guardians of the Galaxy also had a poor first showing (but looked better than SF here) and ended up being great. Unfortunately, I lean toward your last sentence being the most likely situation here. Hope to be wrong. Would be nice to have a great new 3D Sonic.

As a black man, I stopped participating in public voice chat years ago. The levels of toxicity just make any game unfun! 

Conscious decision.  Got it.
