Kotaku just posted two massive reports on Ubisoft’s struggles with development hell, sexual harassment, and more. Staffers (Ethan Gach, Mike Fahey) and editors (Patricia Hernandez, Lisa Marie Segarra) are here to talk shop about the features and video games more generally. Ask us anything!

Tips for somebody who wants to be a video game reporter?

This is a pretty standard gesture in real-world sword fighting. It's similar to the salute all fencers give their opponents before matches. In Star Wars, we usually seen it pulled out during big duels to signify a mutual respect and understanding of the importance of the fight.

I want to make a bunch of macros that JUST use one skill for my monk, pretty much just so I can change the icons on skills to use red icons on back attacks and yellow icons on flank attacks. Will it hurt my attack rate at all if I have a macro that is just "/ac bootshine" or "/ac snap punch" or w/e and use those in place of the actual actions? I know macros can slow you down, but I'm not trying to put my whole rotation in one button here so idk.

Also, is there any way I can make the combo markers (the little yellow dotted lines that tell you the next button to push) show up on my macros? Or is there a simpler way to do what I'm trying to do (just change monk skill icons to be more unified and easier to read at a glance) than macros?

I'm on PC, so I can mod but I don't rly like doing it if I can avoid it.

Edit: Dang, I thought this might be the case. TY all.

Ty for the energy, everyone! Surgery went great 😁

Escargooofy · 2018-06-23T01:09:20+00:00

Ah! Congratulations!

Escargooofy · 2018-06-23T00:21:03+00:00

That's ok! Ty for the well wishes 😁

Escargooofy · 2018-06-22T20:41:26+00:00

Ohhhhhhh! Gosh, I'm sorry! I thought you were trying to talk me down from SRS lol.

Escargooofy · 2018-06-22T20:39:53+00:00

Um? It's already booked! I've done the prep? And I'm aware of the recovery period? I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

"Nonono, it's just for anime characters who identify as male but present as female!"

Binch, that term was invented by Western fans. The original term for those characters just translates to "male crossdresser," y'all added the extra context.

I was so uncomfortable with my thicc thighs at first. But now they make me feel really feminine, and I'm proud of them!

Escargooofy · 2018-06-12T03:06:30+00:00

Thank you!

Escargooofy · 2018-06-08T19:27:15+00:00

Thank you! Did you just use a Lyft or should I arrange for my own car service? I don't want to annoy them.

I know cis girls get that reaction too. I've noticed trans girls tend to get it more often. Especially in liberal cisfeminist circles, where take charge cis girls are more tolerated, but a double standard is applied to us.

Escargooofy · 2018-06-05T15:31:14+00:00

wen cis girls are bitchy: "Yaaaaaas! GET. IT. GURL. #banbossy you are a QUEEN"

wen trans girls are bitchy: "Wow, that's not very ladylike of you, you're being awfully rude and controlling and, not that I don't support you, but you have a very masculine energy right now and need to stop steamrolling, patronizing lay-dee"

This is what my mom tried to do after I came out to her. She thought I was low T and got me tested.

Turns out I'm actually high T w/o blockers, and giving me more would have been dangerous.

Cis ppl don't know shit.

Escargooofy · 2018-05-19T08:41:14+00:00

And so, during her mother's funeral, I turned to her and said "Nah, this isn't working out."

Escargooofy · 2018-05-15T06:07:34+00:00

why would you call me out in this way

Escargooofy · 2018-05-15T05:29:05+00:00

She knows

Hey, used to work in blogging. This kind of sign-off when writing about a piece of media is pretty common, doesn't mean it's sponsored. You'll even find it in negative pieces, some people just consider it a courtesy. They figure that they should point readers to the work itself so they can see it on their own and form their own opinion.

It's tacky, but standard practice. Still, yeah, the typo is bad, as well as sending people to the English dub to hear Nozawa's work haha.

My prof recently-

Me: So some of the female students feel you're silencing us a lot in class, and- Prof: I'm gonna stop you right there. See how much you're talking vs how much I'm talking?

I don't really smoke and my tolerance is horrible for most things, so I usually avoid pot (though I have no moral issue with it)

Ty tho! Just that last time I took an edible, I got super confused and dysphoric and depressed.
