what it would be like to get painted like those french girls... Read more

no not at all ! like i said somewhere in the post, everyone’s experience with games is different and valid, so just because my time with starfield was buggy af doesn’t mean yours was. if anything i’m glad you didn’t encounter any issues like i or my coworkers did. hell, when the game ran it ran well. there were just a Read more

RIGHT??? i thought it dropped sometime last year and almost didn’t include it on the list but nope, it hit in february. came and went like a flash in the pan Read more

lol me, rn, to james stephanie sterling:

i’m sure that luke plunkett (rip (not dead, just owning a website now (rip))) is pissed lol i’ll have to give this one a look for myself, ty for the tip Read more

i obvs can’t explain what’s happening here - is it a regional thing? maybe there’s an automatically applied discount? - but i’m getting $350 rn

maybe it was a series s thing? i know in my experience on my series s the game ran terribly. i also know another kotaku staffer who (i believe) played primarily on pc and encountered many of the same issues i did so idk. glad you had a bug-free time tho ! i do think there’s a good game there buried under all its shit Read more

ngl i didn’t even know it came out this year. i guess that just goes to show how many games came out in 2023. (i’d love an official count. i’m sure it’s a lot.) Read more

damm, two massive games on the same day? there just ain’t enough time Read more

i wish i could find the exact tiktok that started that whole discourse but the general sentiment among young gen z and gen alpha, apparently, is that tatoos are cringe specifically because millennials got them as a way to “rebel” against their (maybe) more conservative parents lol it’s silly Read more

i’ve actually seen this exact conversation across tattootok over the summer. apparently young gen z - and i guess gen alpha - think tattoos are wack and will stay naked forever and i, as someone with plenty of tattoos, am just like: Read more

i’d love to actually ! if you have any reccomendations of streamers i should be watching, lemme know ! otherwise i’ve had a feature brewing in the back of my head about small streamers, their value, and what it’s like not being huge like amouranth, hasanabi, pokimane, xqc, or the other big-names we always hear Read more

this has to be one of the most empathetic comments i’ve read in a minute Read more

if i can be just a little honest here: the missing block quote was actually my fault. the kinja had it previously, but the cms decided not to keep it when i published the post after checks and edits. (gotta love kinja, right?) that said i appreciate y’all not dragging me for this. as you’ve noted, g/o media’s been Read more

nw, i appreciate your question. i reported on it because it was a hot topic on the internet, making it newsworthy for us as a culture and games website. when i’m browsing for topics worth looking into, one of the factors i consider is the progression of discourse around the subject. so for this particular instance, Read more

idt this is rage-bait so much as just a funny little story. i really do appreciate your expertise here as a professional audio engineer tho Read more

ah, sounds like that explains it. still wack tho Read more

huh, how weird. i’m looking at the story rn and the rest of this sentence—”...for, like, less than $20.”—is right there so idk what’s going on here Read more

lmao the controversy is p silly yeah, that’s the internet for you i guess Read more

totally agree ! the nemesis system should be available for all developers. it’s such a fascinating way to give unimportant npcs character and intrigue, something that could make beating up goons in spider-man 2 more interesting Read more
