I didn’t know this, and I feel it would make for a better article. I’m mostly just tired of people going to the extra effort to be underwhelmed (even retroactively). Just about everybody liked the art in this game, so that’s not a special take. Before even playing it I thought it was all about the art style and a…

In my view that makes your article about it 90% less interesting. So you like being self-indulgent, but you can’t appreciate that from a game, and then you want to write about it. Ok, cool, or whatever. I thought it was a game that tried to be special in its own way, and succeeded about 90%. The journey was…

This one was similar, but I think it’s funnier (probably helps to have played the game).

I’ve suffered because of suicide, but I don’t feel there was any harm here at all. I would encourage you to try not to take things like this so hard. You probably know how life is difficult as it, and it helps not to make even more…

That thing looks stupid, and it makes me feel sad. I can’t wait until somebody blows it up in slow motion on youtube.

This is what they were thinking...

You live in a bizarro world where unquestioned reverence to the flag (and a song) is the same thing as freedom. It’s even more delusional if you consider how the country treats its veterans, and that many of them might warrant a protest of their own.

Blind nationalism is not a substitute what really matters in a…

No, but that’s what he’s literally saying there, and it’s being used to argue something stupid.

I think most of what Trump says is because he’ll say anything to get elected, and probably doesn’t understand what comes out of his mouth half the time (or cares).

I’d be happier if they admitted it was unfinished. Ending the game without recovering Sahelanthropus can’t be anything but unfinished. Yeah, we’re just going to let that kid keep the ultimate weapon.. the end.

Lol, most jobs are within the realm of oppression, but it could be worse. I would say that people should be out there trying to educate themselves if they’re unhappy.

I do think that people should say/protest how they feel, even if it seems hypocritical. Also, it seems really weird to me to try to burn Trump on saying…

So I just looked up Saartje Bartman, read her wikipedia description, and lost my shit. That article must have been radioactive.

My understanding of cynicism isn’t that a cynical person wouldn’t care that people suck, it’s just the belief that they do suck (predominantly self serving/centered). The “men are pigs” sentiment is pretty cynical if that’s right - not that a person couldn’t have every reason to feel that way. My biggest problem with…

Yep, I thought maybe the idiotic articles would stop, but now they’re everywhere. Even if it’s designed to dredge up scumbags, it’s too cynical/bitter to be useful on its own. This article is part of the problem because it demands the commentary provide substance, when the author should do the work. On the other hand,…

In steam I’ve started to hide all the games I’ve finished, and the ones I can’t play as well as I’d like with this computer. I recently just spent 40 hours beating a game, and then I uninstalled/hid it, which left the next game in the series on the main list, installed and ready to go. It helps me, and feels good to…

Some doom and gloom is fun to grumble along to. Hope Kotaku survives along with all the good dorks.

Damn, I just looked the game up and the second goal that Colombia scored was an Olympic goal at the Olympics...

Nice backheel goal! Got to look at the positives...

They’d win the shit out of gymnastics, for starters, and that’s more ninja than the martial arts & boxing events. I’d actually like to see the USWNST take on the USMNST.

Yeah these new ones look fair knockoffs...

Those plushies look pretty bad. I have this one from a Fred Meyer’s in the early 90s, but I tore the tag off because real friends don’t have ‘em. This was my Hobbes. The eyes are plastic so they glisten with an adequate amount of mischief.

I’m not trying to diss any great games, but the art design here makes that from any of those retro pixel art games look like easy mode, and that’s probably the explanation for the choice. This is like a playable Sunday comics page.
