Wait, has John Walker himself promoted video game and anime sneakers? Or are you talking about advertisements made on kotaku? As far as I know the writing staff doesn’t have a say in what’s advertised.

Remapping your buttons for the entire system because of one or two games is not an acceptable “solution” since you have to switch them back and forth.

Or the bubble will burst and in 5 years NFTs are going to be even *more* of a punchline.

“Guy got filmed being a drunk Nazi making death threats and was told to quit or be fired, suddenly has mental health issues.” FIFY

Imagine being so angry about an article you didn’t read properly that you’re spamming other comment sections.

He’s not telling people to pirate Dread, dumbass. You can buy the game and emulate it.

Won’t somebody think of the greedy unfriendly to its undeservingly loyal player base corporation???

I think it’s more fair to say it’s “low-budget” than “low-effort.” It seems very well-designed, but lacks certain expensive, but expected, features. That includes voice clips of the licensed characters, which would have likely meant paying royalties to various voice actors.

“Platform fighter” has kind of become a genre past Smash. Mechanically this game is different in meaningful ways, just like Brawlhalla or Rivals of Aether. I think at this point calling any platform fighter a Smash ripoff is a bit like calling Mortal Kombat a Street Fighter ripoff.

It’s kind of a character archetype at this point, probably because most of their base are absolute dunces with no critical thinking skills, empathy, or self-awareness. So they project and steal…

Tommy always seemed like a blowhard, but his passion for old-school games was apparent. But, if he really is a far-right douche bag, then that sucks. 

I hadn’t heard about this until now, but got to “Tommy Tallarico” and then just laughed myself right off the article. All I needed to know!

Deja Ouya

Can we just hire Levar Burton and get it over with?

If this took you 12 minutes to read, it’s no wonder it went over your head.  

Are we going to delete/rename those characters?
