Sailors in your mouth!

It’s not a navy boat, it’s a gravy boat, full of bravery, savory sailor-folk!

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

In most of their posts about the show, I’m left with one conclusion about Kotaku and TLOU: They post shitty, inane takes to get people to comment how shitty and inane their takes are. These aren’t the real views of the author, it’s just nonsense to drive engagement.

Yeah, I dunno. Playing as Joel spending 15 minutes trying to stealth kill every bandit is exciting and tense.

The show is well-received by real critics and viewers. But people who make dumb takes for a living are still going to make their dumb takes, like this.

Yeah the problem a lot of video game adaptations fail at is they try to convey “the game” too much instead of taking what actually works in film an elevating it. The Last of Us works super well partially because the video game was already basically a movie with mini games in between thematic scenes. I never even played…

I appreciate your thought process here. You seem to have been deliberate and thought this through.

See, for me stripping out the game parts actually allows The Last of Us to shine as the compelling narrative it always was. Yes, there are interactive bits here and there that you lose out on, but it’s a fair tradeoff to avoid Joel duck-walking half the time, and repeated game overs because you accidentally took the…

I remember when Satoru Iwata took responsibility for Nintendo’s profit losses and halved his salary in 2011 and 2014 so that its workers wont lose out. I’m depressed now, that man was a beautiful soul. Im not Phil hater, he seems more human than others (maybe to his detriment as hecomes off as soft to me) but fuck i…

Fuck this guy and all middle management types who feel so bad for having to let you go. This is seriously triggering.

Microsoft only had a net income of $72.7B for 2022, so I can see how they just couldn’t possibly afford to keep those people employed.

I think she’d be up there with Jenny Slate and Tim Robinson in the category of “Wait, she was on SNL?”

Best case: one season standing around in the background.

Blessing in disguise. They wouldn’t have had the faintest idea what to do with her.

It’s the perpetual problem with people who decided to major in English Lit and land jobs as “journalists” on a gaming blog.

I struggle to find the point of this article even existing, honestly.

Trash article

Everyone ever: the opening act of TLOUS is one of the classics and remembered fondly by millions of people worldwide to the point that there are hundreds of reaction videos on Youtube of people playing through that section and crying.

The writer of this article: Meh, I don’t know, I really wanted to see how she got…

Very much disagree. Fridging is about conveniently setting up a conflict or setting up character traits. The Last of Us holds at its very core a story about how we cope with grief and whether we can move on. Removing the trauma at the core of it would neuter the payoff, and you would know that *had you played the…
