The amazing thing about reading this is seeing just how much impact Fahey had on everyone he worked with, the heights that everyone reached within the industry (was so great to see some familiar names), and how unanimous everyone is on Fahey being the true essence of Kotaku.

I felt that

$100 threshold, usually

Always double-check. Then check again.

Yeah, I’ve been taking the time to go into the anime backlog since seasonal anime’s been incredibly weak as of late due to COVID, too many sequels for shows I haven’t watched, or just typical formulaic anime (isekai, etc) appearing every season.

I feel like treating this as a more of a novelty helped temper my expectations for this. I think the VR experiences for BOTW and Mario Odyssey are really neat ideas, but it is quite clear that you can only do so much to make VR work for the Nintendo Switch as it is now.

Games as a Service is more or less the new wave in larger game development, because of the successes of other live-service games like Fortnite. There’s value in creating ongoing games, rather than one-and-done projects, so that’s why publishers/developers are moving to that model. It’s funny you mention Kickstarter…

Yeah, I remember being very thoroughly destroyed by a Pichu when I made it to Elite Smash.

It’s been a great run, lads.

I’ve seen a bunch of NSFW artists taking off to other places: Newgrounds, Pixiv, Twitter, and so on.

Thank you very much!

Takaki always keeps it 💯

Been there since its inception 3 years ago and it really is a sight to see all the types of games being made by game devs of color, plus being able to interface with them and just understand their dev philosophy.

I still stand by what I said - weirdest thing I’ve approved in the queue, bar none.

Hell, the whole situation was an absolute trip - trying to dig for further proof from the studio and stuff. FlapSnapple went through a bunch of documents to verify, and the confusion just escalated to “WHO OWNS THIS DAMN IP?!”

I do remember a phrase while living in Jamaica - I’ve always been asked “did you zero the game?” which meant if I had completed it 100%. It was very prevalent during childhood to brag about how many games you “zeroed”.

>nintendo is charging a premium for them

Well, when there’s money on the line, some people are gonna scheme real hard for it.

Wish I gave HQ Trivia a shot, but my phone’s incompatible.

Man, it’s crazy seeing Fortnite reach this unimaginable level of popularity considering its lengthy development and stumbling out of the gate at launch. Battle Royale really saved it.

The 16-year-old student reportedly told authorities that, “We increased our views and got advertising money.”

The sad video with their kids and Tanaka’s kid calling for a thai kick was the most I’ve ever laughed in ages. I really should rewatch some of the older batsu games.
