Seriously, who in tf still reads Kotaku?

Based on the reactions here, quite a bit of you...which is surprising. I don't think I've clicked on any of their bullshit in a decade or more.
For real. Sometimes I visit their site out of old habit because they used to be daily reading for me and immediately regret it.

It used to be a cool site when they dropped news from the industry constantly (RIP GAF > Kotaku > GAF), before deciding that they should be the creators of the news.

They're like Hollywood writers that take great books that were already written and think, "no, I can do better," before completely butchering it.

Nobody.

Their YT channel hasnt had a video in a month. They last regularly uploaded videos 6 months ago. Almost nobody views their videos. For a game site that should still get some clicks due to legacy mindshare, their videos are lucky to get 1 or 2,000 views. Its that low.

My buddy who ran a game site long time ago use to have him and some of his buddies upload random videos whether they were previews or reviews or one guy reviewing a new game pad or steering wheel or whatever. Even those random videos from a random guy doing it as a hobby after dinner could get more than a couple thousand views.

They were an awesome site like 10-15 years ago. If you loved JRPGs and niche Japanese games then they were a must-read.

Looks like we have a problematic person, boys

Edit:


What a great example for us all. If you witness someone being misgendered, politely correct them by saying something like “ummmm… AWKWARD”

And if you accidentally misgender someone, don’t just say “oops my bad”. Instead do the most showy, performative act of self-flagellation you can think of. The more attention you draw to the situation, the better your misgendered colleague will feel.

Follow these rules and you’ll be sure to make trans and nonbinary folks feel welcomed and no different from the rest of us.

No doubt someone else will hire her, i just don't care about her, she is just a pantomime to me, she loves the attention.

Layoffs happening :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Like I said in the other thread, you'll have your agnus dei (This prick) but these people aren't going without a fight (y)

This problem is bigger than you think.

I hope she leaves the gaming industry completely. Or nobody hires her in that field. These activists don't care about gaming, they only want to grift and make things worse for gamers because of some revenge plot or something.

Gatekeep hard. Make them feel unwelcome. Kick them out.
She is going in to the same trash bin that Frosk got put in. She will either stop posting under her own name or post on blusky and LARP as the leader of some commie revolution.

liberalism and wokeness have destroyed Western women.

Many are actually beautiful women, then liberalism happened in college, and then they turned into this
They should start with "people aren't created equal, otherwise, there are no measures of success and it should never be just personal success, these high intellectual individuals with extremely higher chance of success rate must lead the average people, cause the alternative is much worse ".

Anyone with at least one working brain cell could tell that NDA was fake af

He was the first and only person to share it, as far as I know. Some people say it was originated on 4chan. Which would make him even more of an idiot for believing in it.

He definitely knew it was fake but just wanted some attention
Yep, I gave him the benefit of the doubt years ago, since I also believe that there are western groups of devs.. not necessarily colluding, but of the same mind; so much so, that it becomes extremely one-sided.
But it's become obvious he has gone off the deep end, not to mention his game project is a scam, it's a facade of a game. I'm sure it started out with good intentions though, after all, what can be seen from the game *is* real, it just doesn't equate even 3 months work of fulltime efforts by 2 professionals.

men payed 1000 dollars for a jar of farts from some onlyfans bitch called amourath , men are fucking stupid , its an exaggeration with the farts thing because very few would actually do that but still
