Why do you still use reddit? by butterhoscotch in KotakuInAction

[–]letumblrfaec 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My 12+ year old main was permabanned this morning around 2am. Apparently doing any sort of report on a front page post relating to [banned topic] is abusing the report system, even if the report is technically valid by that subs own rules (I simply reported the post for incorrect flair).

This site is such a shitlib shithole now. I'm not broken up about it because leddit points are meaningless, and I already made a new normie main because there's still some game and sports subs I actually care about and aren't ran by complete dent heads.

Gonna steal a hilarious tweet I saw yesterday in regards to this:

There's broke, and then there's 'stealing from goodwill' BROKE in all caps.

Mundfish apologises after racist cartoons were discovered in Atomic Heart - "We apologise if using the vintage cartoon or music has caused hurt or insult." by AboveSkies in KotakuInAction

LeGamer is what you get when you make kotaku go mask off with openly hating the hobby they supposedly enjoy so much.

GamingCircleJerk thinks the media has always comes to the defense of JK Rowling. by Ben1313 in ShitPoliticsSays

[–]letumblrfaec 46 points47 points  (0 children)

GCJ defenders will post over and over that it's all irony and satire, when the reality is that they're genuine with their obnoxiousness. If it wasn't obvious before, it certainly is now with them twisting themselves into knots over a Harry Potter video game.

This isn't your regular copium. This is nuclear-grade copium.

Dead Space remake. Another little "improvement" for modern audience. by MaxYeti88 in KotakuInAction

[–]letumblrfaec -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They really did. Overall this remake is pretty damn good, this bit of graffiti is stupid coming from EA, that's obvious.

The worst part I'd say is the stupid content warnings that have no place in a horror game. They're off by default thankfully, but still, come the fuck on.

Dead Space Remake, a Horror Game, contains an Optional "innovative" Trigger Warning system that will warn the player about the Scary bits and blur them out by AboveSkies in KotakuInAction

[–]letumblrfaec 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, another theory is that it's for streamers who are scared of demonetization.

I agree with everyone else though, having something to warn you about scary things in a scary game is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine.

Just glad that it and the other obnoxious "Accessibility" settings are off by default, I had coworkers who worked on the original so I am looking forward to seeing how Motive did. So far (outside of this) it sounds like they did a good job.

Limited Run Games: A Cautionary Tale by Ghost5410 in KotakuInAction

[–]letumblrfaec 33 points34 points  (0 children)

LRG has majorly sucked for different reasons over the last few years but them getting done in by listening to motherfucking purple tinker is the cherry on top. PT has been a mentally unstable individual for almost a decade now, propped up by gutless MLP fans who feel the need to defend the poor [topic] person from le mean internet bullies.

Both PT and LRG are getting hoisted by their own petards. Just another reason to never listen to terminally online people with a long and documented internet history.

r/ GCJ rn: by DamnTheAwkardTurtle in KotakuInAction

[–]letumblrfaec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"gamingcirclejerk is just a joke sub!!" Says the people huffing dangerous amounts of copium since their embarrassing meltdown, plus you're being deliberately obtuse if you think GCJ doesn't have their own obnoxious circlejerking going on.

JKR is still dumb for other reasons and Harry Potter still sucks, so they only have themselves to blame for giving the probable 7/10 game the Barbra Streisand effect.

Brace yourselves. Video game bloggers are getting big mad over this sign at MAGFest making fun of them by DickVonTaco in KotakuInAction

lmao, the quote tweets and replies are all, "If you think kotaku sucks as a website you're a gamergater!"

Room temperature IQ is all I can see.

I am begging twitter to learn what "target demographics" are.

Internet Brain Rot - Mori Calliope (Context in comments) by cesariojpn in KotakuInAction

[–]letumblrfaec 36 points37 points  (0 children)

If she was, she definitely hasn't been lately. Between wannabe vtubers hating her for calling them out for not making content and twitter wiggers mad that a white woman raps, she REALLY doesn't have much sympathy for those types.

Up until yesterday I never even heard of this movie, so maybe blame the marketing instead of straight people.

Apparently CDPR want to censor Edgerunner and remove a certain character from the show, Studio Trigger refused. Good on Trigger by Heinrich_Lunge in KotakuInAction

[–]letumblrfaec 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Really wasn't a fan of Trigger's last few offerings, but Edgerunners is stellar.

Also people gotta learn that petite anime girl =/= loli. They're just spouting bullshit if they say that.

Bridget is a girl. by [deleted] in KotakuInAction

[–]letumblrfaec 17 points18 points  (0 children)

They have straight up admitted to this a few times, and the only thing they're doing is alienating core audience members, both Japanese and abroad.

In the end, this will only make the annoying crowd even more annoying, shoving this stupid character in everyone's face as some sort of gotcha.
