The Last of Us has shown culture is as much a casualty of the apocalypse as people are, but HBO’s take on Bill and Frank is a lovely reminder that elder queer people who lived through LGBTQ+ history survived into the end of days, and our stories can, too.

It’s been ten years since Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, which means it’s been ten years since Sony damned one of its beloved mascots to being stranded in Ancient Egypt by not greenlighting the planned DLC or a fifth game.

I wonder where all these articles were when Kotaku was first starting. Imagine how authentic you would seem if you had been woke before woke was trendy. But you're just jumping on a bandwagon. It's fraudulent.
