The title comes off as a bit sarcastic, personally.

The Dark Tower is a long Stephen King series. Which could be interesting, although the track record on well-adapted Stephen King books is fairly poor...

The reason why matters though. This comes off as if it were just an optics issue for reddit, and not a problem of playing host to awful racists. It practically begs for them to just get more clever, rather than making it clear that racist behavior itself isn’t tolerated.

Would you say the same to being expected to host racists on your own private property? They’re free to have the opinions they do, but the idea that any given online medium should have to provide them a platform seems absurd. It’s not as if other forums don’t exist for them to congregate.

Who said it was solved? Plenty of reason not to let blatant racists collect on your online forum even if you can’t “solve racism.”

They’ve been banning attempts to recreate some of these subreddits so far. And there is a migration by some of their users towards Reddit clone Voat (which sounds wonderful given the types that threaten to leave for it.) I think the end result of breaking these subreddits up is still better than the idea of keeping…

There have been better alternatives than Microsoft’s default media player since before Windows 7. Don’t let the lack of a default be a selling point against the OS.

You can throw parties in 4 already. Apparently the big deal here is that they’re able to be thrown anywhere, instead of just on home lots? Not really that great an addition honestly.

I’d be surprised, given what the trailer showed. They’ve been pretty focused on the post-childhood lifestages quite a lot in general.

I don’t think the original was ever intended as a parody of extreme consumerism. It also had seven expansion packs itself.

Nick Denton isn’t overruling Totilo’s decision to make an opinion piece on Nintendo. What are you even getting at?

What does that have to do with Kotaku being both a gaming news AND opinion site? The fallout from editorial disagreement over the decision to out a man via someone’s blackmail on a sister site doesn’t in anyway change Totilo’s ability to negatively compare Nintendo to Microsoft in an article title.

I read your diatribe already. “Fanboys are equally bad” doesn’t absolve you being unable to allow Nintendo any criticism whatsoever.

Your attitude is exactly what people are talking about when they talk about Nintendo fanboys.

You’re up and down the entire article defending Nintendo to the hilt over this. Your inability to allow Nintendo any sort of criticism without jumping in, “but what about Sony and Microsoft” is a pretty clear bias.

I’d have much preferred them figuring out a way to get SNES games running on the 3DS than buying a Wii U in order to play them. Earthbound on a portable would have been awesome.

While Vitas aren’t region-locked, DLC has to be downloaded from a game’s appropriate region, and the memory cards only allow one region-bound account each. It’s possible to setup a Japanese account, but you’d still need to figure out a way to pay for any of the non-free stuff.

There’s seemingly a post about something related to one of the two major MOBAs almost every day, and Destiny nearly as frequent (even when pretty much nothing has happened.) A FNAF article every day or so while the newest entry is still news is hardly inside the hype machine.

It’s been awhile since I played it so I don’t remember the particulars all that well. But it felt like it wasn’t that far removed from how the original games played. A lot of other JRPGs (including Final Fantasy) moved toward things like ATB, movement, action RPG elements, turn dynamics (SMT in particular sees a lot…

I loved DQ8’s aesthetic, but loathed its throwback gameplay. My first RPGs were the original Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy. I don’t really want to play minor variations on those anymore. I thought DQ9 was a little more enjoyable mechanically.
