I thought the Dishonourable Mention might be BioShock: Infinite, but Detroit: Become Human is also a good choice. The part where a black woman directly compares robots to black slaves. David Cage needs to go away. Read more

People here are asking “Who approves this shit?” One of the people who approved this shit was me. Read more

It may be awhile, but the faster we can put Mutations behind us, the better.  Read more

Now playing

Heck yeah, Triple Trouble is an 8-bit handheld classic. Even the normal boss theme slaps

Im also new to the series and had the same issue. At first picked every single one for profit. But with summer, they are awesome. I found out that too many flowers can get a little out of hand, and too colorfull. I place out of season bushes everywhere. Read more

Don’t feel bad - I have my house exactly the way I want it but I keep getting a B rating with hints like “all your furniture should be the same color” - No damnit, I like the way my house looks, stop judging me. . Who are you? How did you even get in? Read more

I spent most of the day playing Pokémon. Couldn’t do work; basically took a personal day because I so desperately needed it. So, so tired. Read more

George Floyd was murdered by the police, and I can’t tell you how hard it’s been to work, to write, or to live since then Read more

Good on you for posting this knowing well there will be lots of people screeching about “I come to Kotaku for games journalism, not social justice”.  Everyone needs to pay attention, all ages, all races, all religions.  Only when people are paying attention will they actually comprehend what is going on around them.

While Fires of Invention should’ve been banned, banning Agent of Treachery is missing the forest for the trees. The big issue in standard is Teferi followed by all the ways to cheat Mana with no drawback (Growth Spiral, Wilderness Reclamation, Uro, Nissa, etc.). Read more

I’m curious on why the virtual event is being pushed until next year. They already have the tech to do a virtual BlizzCon with the Virtual Ticket stuff. Unless they just don’t want to risk putting all their devs in one room at the office for a panel right now? Read more

Yeah it really sucks. I have a bunch of Switch-owning friends playing Animal Crossing and would love to join in. Alas. Read more

Reading up this morning about Hana Kimura’s (Japanese pro wrestler/Terrace House... participant? contestant?) passing. I’ll leave the details aside, just... be good to each other, folks. Read more

American Dad is legitimately a great show. I don’t know what season it was where the writing team shifted, but it’s a great show. I love the holiday episodes, and any Roger episode is always a treat. It’s unsurprising to me that they would have this level of depth for a one-off joke.

I beat the game, but I think it happened once maybe, and I played it a lot. I also beat Ghouls ‘n Ghosts (yes, truly beat it by running through it twice)... I recently got the Genesis Mini and tried it again and I have NO idea how I managed to beat any of the older games back in the game, they’re all freaking Read more

I’ll do like one level a month right now to keep me from going crazy on the Switch. The nice thing is that you can abuse the save/load file system to basically scam your way through the game without having to worry about losing lives.

For a game like this (and to a lesser extent Aladdin that came with it) i don’t feel Read more

When  I was a kid I managed to get to the 2nd level with Adult Simba, but couldn’t get past that. Game was damn tough!  Read more

Really disappointed in this, Faith has been the quintessential selfless support for almost a decade, won TI2 with IG, really hope he wasn’t involved. Read more

After following Ash on Twitter for her fantastic OWL takes, I am SOOOOOOOOO here for regular reporting from her. YAY! Read more
