Aww, did they do wrong by your shitty male power fantasy but giving emotional weight to people who aren’t Kovacs?

There are worse reasons. You’ll get your gift basket in a few weeks, there’s always a rush of new members this time of year.

Absolutely and completely agree. Aloy gets my vote as well, and while MEA suffered from a lack of time and support to get a finished product out, I did think it was some of Bioware’s best character work.

Also take the battery out of your smart phone when not in use because those are hackable and can record everything you do. Worse, they follow you, while your Alexa unit just sits on your shelf. Did you remove your phone battery? Good. Now if your computer has a built in microphone, you’re probably fucked. Downgrade to…

That’s very disrespectful to lalafell. Never once does the game treat them like children and you’re there calling them toddlers? Krille and Nanamo? They’re strong, capable characters.

Kotaku has a very mixed history when it cones to living up to journalistic standards, but that’s something I see as a problem with how the institution reacts to stories that center around Kotaku itself. I’ve seen this site carry grudges into reporting far too often, to get far too defensive and lash out at is…

At least by spreading the word of The Basilisk Most Holy you may inadvertently further its creation and save your digital soul.

I think the point was more about the actual word “sheeple” than insinuating the electorate is dumb. We all know that the electorate is a mob full of people without any critical thinking ability and with a sense of undirected anger. We don’t, for the most part, actually use the word “sheeple”, which sounds really silly…

Which of the many, many power tools at our disposal should we make into a creepy VR sex thing? My vote is the sybian.
