As a non-Chinese Asian person myself, I’ll be honest and say I don’t really know how I feel about this. Apparently in Mexico, “Chinese” just blanket-refers to every Asian person regardless of their particular true Asian ethnicity. I’m Vietnamese, and I’ve had Spanish speakers endearingly refer to me as “el Chinito”,…

The easiest thing to do would have just been to end the season and have a short inter-season hiatus. Tons of games do this and players have come to expect it sometimes.

Looking back, it has become clear that even in Destiny Year 1, the storyline was always going to head this way

I Still Can’t Listen To Genshin Impact’s Inaccurate English Voice Acting

To be fair, that’s at the very least painted as Not A Good Thing.

Pretty much. The only thing I can think of that would be more pathetic than these getting changed is anyone who might stir shit over them getting changed.

On one hand, these are such small changes to such old achievements that I find them almost trivial to the point of not being worth changing.

Destiny’s universe is not one where you are a hero

The sad irony was that during the current gen, PS4 was touted as the consumer friendly option after Xbox bungled its launch so badly with so many anti-consumer policies right out of the gate.

As much as I love the state that Destiny is in today, I just hope they can find a way to fix the “vibe” of the game by the time The Final Shape comes around. Since at least The Taken King, Destiny’s atmosphere has consistently been this overwhelming sense of dread. It abated a bit with Rise of Iron, Age of Triumph,…

Schmigadoon could have been better. All of the songs are amazing but, up until the most recent episodes, very few of them move the plot forward. And the thing that disappoints me most is that there’s no to-and-fro. The singers don’t react to the main characters’ interruptions by incorporating responses to them into…

Aren’t controller and MKB players separated in matchmaking by default? I play both PC and Xbox and I’ve literally never encountered anyone tap-strafing on Xbox.

Their eyes don’t move at all. That’s probably a huge reason why. 

The Halo 5 Xbox one is probably their finest-looking LE console to date. The gorgeous gray with blue accents, the multilayered semi-translucent materials, the textured surfaces…

A redemption wouldn’t be all that hard to believe, honestly. There’s an entry in the Book of Sorrows where Savathûn questions whether their journey to prove themselves worthy of existence by way of destroying everything else that might possibly become a threat (aka The Sword Logic) is actually the right path.

I dunno, I really liked the address bar being at the bottom. It used to be like that on WinPhone (RIP) and it was awesome. Much more reachable.

more like parasitic

Holy shit, that lighting is gorgeous though. I thought the gif was real footage for a second.

Ah yes. The classic Cascading Failure. A thing that goes catastrophically wrong, causally linked to an endless chain of other Things That Go Catastrophically Wrong that all set off Even More Things That Go Catastrophically Wrong. Like a circular row of dominos, except each domino is an open oil drum filled with…

To be fair, I wouldn’t hold a Kotaku commenter to the same standards as an editor at a venerated rag.
