Oh boy. I absolutely adore Sonic Youth, and I have since I discovered them through Dirty. I was legitimately distressed when they broke up, mostly because they were hitting a late career high with Rather Ripped and The Eternal.

It’s extremely fun to have a game where the understanding of the mechanics and UI is crowdsourced by fans. Doesn’t make it super spoiler risky when you have to google “what the fuck is this symbol that appeared on my screen when I walked into this area”, or “What the fuck is this debuff supposed to be because it’s a…

I mean, I’m not gonna shit on the guy, but it’s really sad we live in a world of young people writing articles celebrating other young people directly donating to MILITARIES. 

Crowdfunding war is deeply disgusting. There are no good guys in this war.

That’s not to say what Russia is doing is a GOOD thing, but the point has merit. Imagine when the Warsaw pact were still a thing, if Canada/Mexico announced their intention to join it—and thus allow Soviet missiles to get parked on the borders—America wouldn’t shrug and go “well, it doesn’t sound good but I suppose…

your first sentence should be hung on a plaque, it’s f’ing internet comedy gold

There was a point in final act of the Last Jedi where I realized that I had no idea what was going to happen next. That’s a feeling I had never felt before with Star Wars, and I haven’t felt it since. Just because of that, TLJ was my favorite SW media since ESB.

You're equating videogames with toys. Ernekid is equating  videogames with art - as they should be. Hence, preservation. And no, they aren't overreacting. Not in the slightest! 

Piracy is now the only realistic way to maintain video game archival preservation because it is obvious that the Video Games publishers couldn’t give a shit about it.

at some point, decades from now, the news will break that amazons marketing campaign pulled one of the greatest ad campaign tricks of all time and convinced everyone that they were the only person not playing this and you need to check it out now before its too late.  it doesnt make any sense to me that this painfully…

I can’t help but think that this Bowser guy is the modern Martyr Saint of Videogames.
Okay that may be pushing it, but ironically piracy help sell more consoles in otherwise very weak markets like Southeast Asia and Brazil. I doubt that the modchip operation will cease since China as usual would take over production…

II'm surprised they did an interview here because Kotaku published a vicious hatchet job about them a few years back.

Their early edgelord antics have turned me off their content, even as they’ve slowly distanced theirselves from it. They just rub me the wrong way, even though I usually agree with their takes.

Sucks that _insert celebrity name here_ is getting dragged because a few woker then thou shitheads on Twitter decided they just had to yuck in everyone elses yum

Ah yes, sometimes I forget that the only thing that influences how you are supposed to talk (and allowed to talk, for that matter) is the color of your skin and your racial heritage. The environment in which you learn to speak is not an excuse. A black kid that grows up in Bill Gates’s house can only speak in slang…

Her normal speaking voice and inflections people perceive as “too black” and being appropriation. Its no different than when people comment that a black person “talks white.” Awkwafina isnt “appropriating” anything... People claiming she is are the ones who are racist; Awkwafina is Asian, she is only allowed to talk…

It’s believed that the large scale of Team-Xecuter’s decade-long operation, plus all the money they made and cost video game companies, is what caught the eye of the federal government.

Yeah, Republicans don’t need to do this to win the next election. It’s happening either way. Let’s start talking more about what Democratic leaders need to do to actually appeal to the bottom 50% of the economy.

Indeed. Over what feels like the last 25 years, I’ve gotten so much entertainment out of reading about this game’s development (or lack thereof) because I just know the true believers will come storming into the comments section of every SC article. And these deeply impassioned Roberts apologists will, without fail,…
