Explaining that he’s barefoot because of “asylums” to flippantly explain that they’re visually referencing stereotypes associated with people being on suicide watch under hospitalization was an extremely bad choice.

Yeah, I think “standardized” is a good word for it... or “conventional”. They’re going from left to right, line by line now, as one would expect of a Western comic, rather than erratically changing order without any apparent indication of the intended order.

“Purple and orange? When have those ever gone well together?”

The return on investment isn’t worth taking up space in your home. A GBA AGS-101 is expensive relative to what it is, but isn’t really expensive with a capital E. 

Ubisoft in one hand: Give us music to put into our game!

This effects way more than the willing participants though. It devalues creative professionals who would have been paid if Ubisoft was doing this properly.

Mods are modifications to intellectual property which the mod creators do not own.

The problem is that there’s no guarantee they’ll choose your song. It’s in the name, Spec[ulative] Work - companies hold “contests” where they basically get thousands of hopeful young artists to spend their own time and money making content, on the off-chance that they get chosen. The company gets thousands of “free…

I bet it was Busch Gardens - Tampa. I couldn’t tell you what ride.

Finally leveled up Kassandra in AC: Odyssey. So I’m finally going to get through new game plus and finally get to the Atlantis DLC. Because only boss Kassandra will do to finish this game properly.

I appreciate that, but please do know that none of this would be possible without all of my talented, hard-working colleagues here at Kotaku. We are a team in so many ways, and none of these stories are single-person efforts, ever.

Another fantastic read. I have the utmost respect for you, Jason, you’re going to be remembered for being at the tip of the spear of the unionization of this garbage ass industry.

These are the same people who oppposed the trademark of a Michigan restaurant for using the name Kardashian even though it was the owner’s name too.

Yes, EA is indeed responsible for a lot. 

In that original shitty commenter’s post saying that each should only take five minutes, giving them the absolute benefit of the doubt would translate that to “I’m sure that Game Freak, a skilled and experienced developer, has the pipeline developed that could take a lower poly 3ds model meant only for a tiny screen…

Petty Twitter is the best Twitter. 

This is like saying the Beatles are the most overrated band.  It doesn’t actually matter if you’re right or not, because you’re only saying it to pick a boring, tired fight anyway.  

I know what a hitbox is. My point was that hit box controllers are called hit boxes because the first company to get big with them is named Hit Box, even if they aren’t actually made by Hit Box. Kinda like how Kleenex has become a catch-all term for tissues.

No more than you needed to watch the original Yokai Watch show, film, or manga to understand the first 3 games. YW games always do a good job of recapping important events.

Just for context, can you name an industry that has been bankrupted by unions?
