But seriously, though. I’m a Kotaku regular, and the posts feel like dead air without a comment section. Half the fun of coming to Jalopnik articles is to read the takes in the comments. That would kill the soul of this place (though, the Herb is probably not familiar with something like ‘having a soul’)

I don’t think there will be any catharsis for those of us hoping Jake Paul will get his skull caved in (though I would be happy to be proven wrong). The Paul brothers are opportunist grifters through and through. Jake wouldn’t step into a situation that he couldn’t come out looking like a victor in some way. You best…

Ngl, FFVII Re is probably the best place for a newbie to begin. As much as I love the old FFs, the turn-based combat and graphics can feel very outdated when they’re not being revisited with nostalgia goggles. If you want your friend to actually enjoy FF as a franchise, start them with what is most accessible and most…

This, exactly.

Man, I agree. It’s simple, but it’s a legit sandbox game. There are some quality of life things that I hope they update over time, but otherwise, it really is a great time.

Pro tip: Don’t sleep on the Ascend ability. Begin practicing using it right away.

I’m going to get a little spoilery, but if we’re going to talk about religious trauma, let’s talk about Lae’zel.

Reading this article filled me with an insane amount of second-hand embarrassment for the company, the devs, and anyone who falls for their advertising. Let’s pour one out for everyone who receives this from their grandmother because she knew you were into video games.

...it took her 80 minutes to drive four miles to transport her niece to a convention at Mandalay Bay.

Critical Role. He’s just another name when it comes to other VO jobs. With Critical Role, he is the storyteller.

As someone who is seeing more and more of the soulless side of corporate upper management each day, I get his decision fully. Kamiya’s my hero, and I hope he’s able to rest and recuperate with some time away from the industry

Your opening two sentences are my main area of concern anytime any studio other than From Soft releases a game and labels it “Soulslike.” So often, developers will emulate the difficulty, the combat style, and the loss-and-pick-up experience gain, then say “We’ve made a true Souls-like.” But they always, always seem…

That’s my take on this. This isn’t “spoiled gamers send death threats because anime girl now wears clothes.” This is “oblivious CEOs threaten the livelihoods of thousands of people.”

I mean, ffs, how do you expect people to react when you threaten to put them on the street in this economy? That’s literally how violent…

...but did take a cellphone photo and claimed she didn’t know that wasn’t allowed.

That Gengar card is so good. Like, what the hell? I love it, lol

Right? I haven’t been interested in collecting Pokemon cards in decades, and now I’m finding myself wanting to complete this set now that I have adult money

Seconding the tip about Shove. Shove and Jump are OP in this. Use them as much as possible

Agreed. Overpower and Fortify are such a cool concept, but have a very milquetoast implementation in this game. A 3% proc chance with other occasional, not-very-reliable proc triggers just makes it, well, unreliable. Fortify is a great concept, but 10% damage reduction? And only when you reach a certain HP/fortify…

This really does feel like the end.
