I think certain exclusives get made because there’s a console backer encouraging them to get made. We see demonstrable differences in the kind of output between first/second party studios and third party studios/publishers. I don’t think every exclusive is necessarily “held hostage” in that regard. They very well…

What reasonable excuse is there to be upset when a black woman shares how another black woman’s accomplishment makes her feel?

It’s OK to talk about race and how this woman’s accomplishment plays out relative to the author’s own experience.

The people that the article bothers are bothered because it’s a black writer celebrating a black woman’s accomplishment. They wouldn’t be any less bothered if she had been more subtle about it, they’re upset that Ash had the audacity to be black and talk about this woman’s accomplishment from that perspective.

The comments are filled with the sort of people who were so mad that Black Panther went over well with black audiences.

I don’t even own a 4k display and couldn’t care less if the Switch had the option to output to it, but it would be nice to have a more powerful system given its noted performance issues with certain games on the platform.

Given how the Switch struggles running certain games even at 1080p, it’s weird how you’ve positioned the inability for it to do 4k like it’s a feature.

The Steam versions are based on the mobile ports, so they probably just weren’t a high priority. As to why they changed the graphics for mobile, wouldn’t be surprised if it was due to phones having all sorts of screen resolutions/screen ratios that don’t play well with precise pixel art.

The plot and protagonist didn’t do anything for me, personally. Even the twist wasn’t really that surprising. It’s not terrible or anything, but creatively it doesn’t really hold up to the other zombie franchise exclusive to Playstation (which ironically, these guys wanted to remake.)

The 360 era really personified the strategy. Just drop enough money until people like you. Didn’t really work out with all those Japanese exclusives, most of which ended up on Playstation 3 eventually anyway.

I know it has its fans, but man, I feel like they vastly overrate just how good the game was.

My argument is you can’t will them out of existence by being ignorant of them. It’s OK to talk about these sorts of people and the kind of effect they have without acting like not knowing them is the only way to do anything about it.

These kinds of e-celebrities tend to be big with tweens and other fairly young people. You reading about them on Kotaku isn’t going to do anything meaningful to their numbers.

You’re not the target audience. You’re not speaking to the target audience. It’s not some amazing revelation that a view-based social media celebrity wouldn’t matter if no one watched them. But none of us here really fit into the demographics fueling these kinds of celebrities, and I doubt any of us have any serious…

Ignoring them won’t make them go away. I get the idea of not giving them attention, but this notion of out of sight, out of mind doesn’t mean these kinds of channels/people aren’t a problem even if you’ve never heard of them.

They’re both using custom SoCs integrating a 7nm Zen 2 CPU with a RDNA 2 GPU and running on a combined memory pool of 16GB of GDDR6 RAM. They’re both running different solutions for their storage, but they’re both designed around that performance being both standard and mandatory to play current gen games.

It’s still weird that they didn’t realize what blowing up all the relays would presumably mean for the galaxy, particularly one decimated by Reapers beforehand (but also because the destruction of one is so massive it takes out an entire solar system in one of the second game’s DLCs, which I guess they forgot?)

I suspect you’re in the minority there, but it’s interesting how little it matters whether he does live or die in two as far as the major outcome of his mission is affected in Mass Effect 3. All of your options are still open with his replacement, and you’re not forced to pick a lesser choice the way a lot of the…

The XBox Series X and PS5 likely have more in common with each other than the average gaming PC.

It’ll probably be the sort of thing that one solid viewing is all you need. But it’s the sort of story where you can tell yourself, “I don’t want to feel like that right now,” right? Because it definitely will make you feel a certain way.
