He would have been such a good father, right? He’s probably a lot like you. A nothing, worthless, little boy who can’t make anyone happy. You’re not good at anything. Your family hates you. Everyone is so repelled by you that you’ll never know the love of another human being. We all know it would be better if you… Read more
Will I still be able to enjoy Johnny Cage in a medium where I can’t rip his brain out of his head? This is the challenge of the filmmaker.

it appears to be a bethesda situation, which is a shame, because personally i’ve written some of the best botw community coverage around and kotaku specifically has continued that. some random somewhat recent examples that come to mind: Read more
California, like Texas, is a community property state. In general, what that means is that property acquired *during the marriage* is split evenly upon divorce, with some exceptions. So if you earn or inherit a lot before you get married, that’s typically going to count as your separate property, and will not be split… Read more

I’ll never understand how anyone thinks SMW is the best Mario game ever. It’s good, but it’s nothing special. The art style is repeated over and over again in all the levels. It’s a basic Mario game but you can ride a dino. It’s overrated.

It was tough--even the bad games are great! Read more
Holy shit, I can’t believe I’m seeing the Rule Against Perpetuities used in real life, and reported on in a Kotaku article no less! It was the bane of many a first-year property law student and has been abolished or replaced with something slightly less nonsensical in many jurisdictions. Nice to see it’s alive and… Read more
Every US state except Montana has at-will employment. Sometimes I read these comment sections and think, do people just not realize how few rights they have? Like 90% of people seem to think they have the right to only be fired for cause, they don’t have to worry about the terms of those liability waivers because “you… Read more
I always find it funny that a country where everyone can run around packing heat, they’re afraid of people packing virtual vaginas. Read more
Or different people on staff have different opinions and perspectives, maybe. Read more
