A lot of people do consider the two synonymous these days, but the big distinction I see on the message boards I frequent is about how someone loves, rather than who. A bisexual person by this distinction can love the same gender and other genders (homo and hetero, same and other) but love each differently ( more…

Not that I know of, and I spend a decent amount of time on Bi discussion boards. A lot of people do consider the two synonymous these days, but the big distinction I see is about how someone loves, rather than who. A bisexual person by this distinction can love the same gender and other genders (homo and hetero, same…

.... Am i the only one who noticed they missed every shot except for the rocket launcher shot? Why would you show that gameplay? Do they not even have bullet collision animated yet, or were the people making the trailer just that bad at shooting?

I sold my tesla stock right before it went crazy at the beginning of the pandemic, because i was worried about a market crash destroying the value. There was no way i could have predicted this, but i feel dumb as hell, and know if i were to buy back in, it would just plummet. How my luck works. 

Oh look, an obviously biased person using hyperbole about a biased person calmly pointing out a biased writer demonstrating their biases. Literally everyone has biases, its the first rule of Journalism. Its just important to recognize those biases when asking questions about why the content of a piece is included by…

Ian exhibits an overwhelmingly positive bias towards the smash community, regardless of its behavior, so thats why hes using the opportunity to try and link to their plight while talking about their faults.

Important to note though that you seem to be seeing just part of the equation then if thats all youre seeing. For every “It’s CDPR’s fault for cultivating a fanbase that would do such a thing” theres people on twitter calling Kotaku and Polygon “SJW Cucks” for daring to have anything but positive feelings about the…

Its not a review, its a impression piece or editorial. If it were a review it would have the Kotaku review block with the review summaries. As such the author is entitled to look at this game through whichever lens they chose.

Lot of fucking people coming out of the woodworks to comment and star comments on this one. Kotakuinaction must have gotten word that a trans writer “dare” bring their personal experience and feelings into their response to a videogame. The Venn diagram between CDPR diehard fanboys and Gamergate regulars continues to…

Seems like the linguistic gulf between the two is “ignorance” which doesn’t exactly score points for using blind. “No sight and ignorant” being thedefinition of blind does seem problematic. 

I mean, not wholey agreeing with his argument, I think you're actually making his point. Using blind as a synonym for "ignorant" is potentially the problem. 

As always Ian, your bias to defend a scene that doesn’t deserve defending is showing. These guys behind big house had the opportunity to still have their tournament. They absolutely could have just canceled melee and still played ultimate, or still had both but only broadcast ultimate. Obviously fewer people will want…

Probably a cheap why to make some money for the games division. Games development is expensive as shit, and the Khans probably saw making a game as a risk this early on. Two mobile games, one designed to be super cheap on development that apeals to older folks and can probably singlehandedly fund the other two games…

Conversely all that stuff youre considering questionable is loved by people other than yourself, so at least you know AEW has a diverse audience. 

Im gonna say it has something to do with the money people being put directly in front the decision making if blizzards history is any indication of greater trends. Passionate people and skilled designers can self manage alright and pop out great games, but once the money people are involved... Everything starts to…

Can you guys try and hit up gamestop to find out what this is going to mean for their release bundle preorders that included this game? They really gonna ship a incomplete bundle and tie everyone else to preordering a game included thats not gonna come out for 3 months?

Djwheat, the “Director of Creator Development” at twitch once doxxed one of your own interns, who then got death threats, and never apologized. And youre surprised that the company he still thrived at has a culture problem? Kotaku could have broken this story years ago if anyone had the guts to take on twitch. 

My money is on the competitive scene been started by young people with no oversight, and the proclivity for the tournament organizers and community leaders to overlook shitty behavior in order to have big names at their tournaments. A decade of “oh insertplayername is a trash fire, but he brings the competition” has…

Most of the perpetrators have been in the scene since they themselves were minors. I’m more likely to believe the culture surrounding the “top players” has trained other up and comers to become predatory. There hasn’t been a case yet of “24 year old dude gets good at smash to prey on minors”. But top players have been…

In stores, sure. Not many online retailers tho.
