"Kirby Air Riders is not deep; it's candy. Good thing I like candy." Read our full review of the Switch 2's new sugar rush of a racer:
Kirby Air Riders Review: A Shallow, Sweet Sugar Rush For Switch 2
The pink puffball's frenzied racer wears its shallowness on its sleeve

🚨 I reviewed KIRBY AIR RIDERS for Kotaku 🚨
Noise is not chaos! Quantity is not depth! Don't believe the siren song of the cult fanbase of the original!
Once you get past all that, Air Riders is an extremely fun game that's kinda hard to play for more than an hour at a time!

I know this is a boring and lame thing to even talk about but genuinely wtf is anybody still doing on Twitter?
I understand going back for certain people you follow (especially globally) and even posting from time to time, but just generally hanging? Doing boring gamer posts? Idk. Seems weird to me

2026 VIDEO GAME PREDICTIONS
feels like I am watching people actively soften their own brains by consuming Chatgpt generated content and mistakening it for substance
Every video I come across on YouTube these days is so obviously scripted. More and more creators are just fully reading ChatGPT generated scripts to the camera 24/7 and it's total garbage I hate it!

Such a wonderful experience for watching 4 games writers genuinely having fun and presenting critical ideas about writing at the same time.

it just kept getting worse from here and now I feel like it's a 6/10 at best.
Gonna finish it just because I want to see the end, but dear god I am bored out of my mind. The over-intellectualization of this franchise should be studied.

Renee Nicole Good, the woman shot & killed by an ICE agent, had a young son whose father died in 2023, according to the Minnesota Star Tribune
“There’s nobody else in his life,” the boy’s grandfather told the paper. “I’ll drive. I’ll fly. To come get my grandchild.” www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

The common belief is that when Trump is voted out in 2028 the democrats will obviously dismantle the state that Trump created, and I think a lot of people aren’t preparing enough for a future where that doesn’t happen.
The pressure needs to be on everyone that backs Trump, not just the figurehead.

These 75 Democrats joined Republicans to "express gratitude" to ICE agents and call for greater local and state collaboration with ICE.

Over my holiday break, I listened to pretty much every episode of @jakesteinberg.substack.com and @peterspittech.bsky.social’s Critical Error, quite possibly my new fav podcast.
These two dudes talk about games better than most, and take a (much needed) aim at our industry’s practices.
