I think you’re misunderstanding my point. I was responding to signofthenin’s comment that this is goofy that it “qualifies as ‘news.’”

The Discourse around this is going to be fucking nuclear. 

well, I’m inclined to agree, but remember: this is kotaku not the [name of reputiable pulication responsible for news, not a blog about video game culture] 

everybody saying “Friday” was instantly forgettable or generic pop or whatever needs to check in on what year “Friday” came out, then what year it is, then read up on what forgettable or generic means, lol.

Very, very glad this is the top comment, well said Psycho Pirate.

I’ll tell you this weekend I am not playing Mario Golf because for some reason I thought it was coming out today and will not game in protest of my own stupid error.

hell yeah glad i’m not alone in the being unmoved by BoTW camp, that game was just not fun, exciting, or engaging when I gave it the ole college try.

i laughed out loud

it was a real transformative moment when I reread the title, and several other parts of the article, having originally thought this was Russia’s FORTNITE, not FALLOUT.

i never played diablo 2. i put a few hours into diablo 3 on switch and thought it was really fun but fell off quick, why the HELL (hah get it) am I excited for this?

this was  spectacular and a much needed feel-good blockbuster to really kick off summer!

I think I could probably get behind this take, but I want as much time as I’ve had with HAMILTON to think on IN THE HEIGHTS.

sushi burritos rip tho!

I’ve been down on avc recently, but I will be forever grateful for this utterance:

again, not saying Luke, or bloggers, or any writer, in any rhetorical situation, ever, shouldn’t have their own voice regardless of the genre norms.

that’s a good point, MyKinja, and I guess in my knee-jerk-snarkiness I didn’t make my point really clear. I would be a fool to show up in the comments on any of the G/O media sites and rage about a lack of “professionalism” because that would be silly - of course blogs are different venues for different kinds of…

yeah i mean its this small assumption and also the larger assumption that 100% of the readership of kotaku (a) cares about politics and (b) shares luke’s (and the other contributors’) politics.

yeah that sounds like an amazing desert lol

excellent my patience for waiting out this release is being rewarded

Which is fine, whatever,
