a forth E will also help the burgeoning dolphin game development sector pronounce it Read more

I drove down one year, and yeah, I just gave up on parking nearby after a couple days. take a rideshare or, if you can, walk over Read more

one year I showed up to press conference day (back when most of them were all on the same day) the most hungover I’ve ever been in my life. this was back when I was just a baby journalist, and I wasn’t working at kotaku yet. HOWEVER, the reason I was so hungover was def a kotaku gathering from the night before. anyway Read more

vanquish, again (i’m allowed bc it just got re-released on pc) Read more

I’ll take it further: I think new dante is *better* than old dante and would love a sequel to that game. not getting my hopes up right now, but maybe someday? Read more

telling everyone else not to eat the fully cooked chickens that just emerged from the men they killed, bc that’s all kinds of nasty Read more

I got to see hail the sun play last month, and they were great. this tour is the longest set they’ve ever done, and they’re really pulling out all the stops with it Read more

I boarded the dgd train late, but I adore their latest record. also been following tilian, their clean singer, ever since the tides of man days. that dude has such a rad voice Read more

right, but the other side of it is, a higher fee could keep out legitimately good small or solo developers who are barely living paycheck-to-paycheck. valve spoke a lot about having more human eyes on all of this going forward, so hopefully that cuts down on the shovelware problem Read more

same! I get the occasional chuckle out of his stuff, but I’m constantly in awe of how elaborate it is Read more

I don’t think anybody is tbh. there’s committing to a bit, and then there’s living it. if there’s such a thing as a method streamer, I’m pretty sure it’s dr disrespect Read more

it can actually be really fun! just play methodically, always check your corners, and remember that if you die (and you will, a bunch), you can leap right into a new match. despite all the pressure associated with winning, the final ten, and all that, I actually find it to be a weirdly low-stress game Read more
