Joshua Rivera, Kotaku staff writer and noted The haters of Metralanians, has decided to go back to the internet ears where he came from. We wish Joshua all the best when he gets out the door that sounds like he's just gone in.
Although he still works sometimes Kotaku, we wanted to mark this earthquake change in his Kinja administration plans with a third degree anointing so if he ever returns to any group of ex-Gawker sites that are still there for the third time, he'll think twice before leaving again.

Josh and I share in the office. It was a nice set up, given that he briefly met me in stealing a bed on the studio floor and suggested it here so we could be comfortable and not have to constantly hunt down our desk-like gremlins. So all at once, I knew he was right. His time on Kotaku proved that. Josh is pretty stupid for incorporating art into history, proving why something is the way it is and what its legacy really is. This is not an easy thing to do but makes it as easy as sleeping. What I think he will eventually be able to do, has grown into a roller coaster nightmare ride that has become the Heartbeat of the Next.

lol nah

I never sat next to Joshua. I don't know if she's pretty. I think so? Let's hope.
Natalie Degraffinried, Senior Editor, Kotaku
What a sad day that Kotaku's two (?) Twins left us. And you almost made it a year! I hope you appreciate my efforts to hide the fact that you were actually fired for trying to burn down the state building by tossing the tops of poems in the rain. For your next finding on this, try to write better.
I often find myself entertaining with your ever-changing market among those who work closely with everyone Did-Lincoln-Douglas debate-high school-once oratory flair. I want to commend you for the time you obviously use to make your goofy “no harm” smile and slap in the mirror. I'll miss your "ehhh" moments –and so on excessive voice manipulation, which sometimes lasts precious minutes of our meeting time – has resulted in us not getting anything done. You are Barack Obama of ahhh-ing and you are blowing your way through “I want to save art, guys! I agree! ”Meet at our morning meetings. Congratulations, you are winning the drone. The drone is you.
I would lament the lack of your Sisyphean attempt to fake the Classical metaphor throughout the post and say that it is easy to use plain blunt English, because I will remember how you wrote about yourself. I'll try to repeat it here: I mourn Kotaku's loss. I'm crying for your poster. I have insulted you with the strokes of the inner shame I received from peacock. I'm happy.
In fact, he is one of the most passionate and professional writers I've ever worked with. The kind of author I like is not attached to any concept other than one that can do better, more powerful, clear work, whether from first draft to final draft, from recurrence to progression to know you can take it out anyway. You can.
You will do great things in this field of hell. Or maybe you will get an MFA and write a dead novel. I could see that for you. Either way, go for success. Worth it, you jerk.
Michael Fahey, Senior Writer, Kotaku
I've never met Josh in person, which is nice, because I feel like he's the kind of person I can work with to commit crime. His relentless inquiry, leading to some amazing video game titles, would have been perfect for editing titles and captains. Definitely a waste.
Ethan Gach, Staff Writer, Kotaku
I have been following Joshua's work ever since I first saw his low self-esteem at times, and the game of trying hard continues GQ, including bangers such as "Whaaa, whaaa I hate podcasts too Fallout 76. ”Some time after that I learned that you were once studying Kotaku back when blogging was still fun.
For some reason that makes me think that Joshua was 22 years old or something, a certain thought paralyzed me when I was talking about exchanging one particular game, maybe Horizon Zero Dawn, at that time I realized that he was almost my age naturally, but for many years he was smart and hard to fight at least because of his already strong history of sailing on a miserable digital media.
Unfortunately, Kotaku he does not end up staying his home for long either. Instead, Joshua has decided to try and postpone his harsh facts elsewhere, a brave and brutal effort when I wish him all the best. Joshua was always asking his colleague to aim high and come up, a call that I would continue to try to achieve.
Nathan Grayson, Senior Writer, Kotaku
Josh was the only one Kotaku a staff member with whom I could talk more fully about the endless emo-turn-prog-iron band – focusing on songs based on the hit song "Welcome Home" to the latest, recently added blocks like "The Dark Sentencer" – and, to me , one of the most important attributes for a person. I think he wrote some very complex pieces criticism, to report, again to refresh, but for the most part, I'm going to miss our sporadic Coheed-covered discussions. I will write to them daily.
Gita Jackson, Staff Writer, Kotaku
Josh is a confusing nickname that lives up to the drama and that is why I quickly realized we were good friends. I mean very much: Josh has dignity. You are the eyes that walk in emoji. If there is any other way he can provoke drama, he will do so. Unfortunately this dweeb is also a master of words. The last time you shared the idea of a controversial video game, it almost convinced me that I didn't like Horizon Zero Dawn, which is ridiculous, because that game is good and Josh is bad. Eat shit, dude, and may the world always remember the fear of brown Kotaku.
Chris Kohler, Brand Editor, Kotaku
I want to congratulate Josh for completing his writing and saying that the peace will end soon. (holds your finger in the ear) I'm told this was actually a straightforward job and he resigns. Ah! However,
Maddy Myers, Deputy Editor, Kotaku
The most effective roast I can send to Joshua would be his fault that I know nothing shameful or funny about him because he hasn't worked here long enough for me to find any really good things. Instead, Joshua has just become a good writer and is the coolest person of all time (all too short) working here, so he goes out the door by placing a halo over his head, none of us very smart. So, that's a misconception of the pull step, clearly.
Joshua also had the "privilege" (ha ha) to work here during what was one of the most difficult times in the company's history, although that may be the case, because the company loves its argument. The fact that he kept his head above water and pulled out the best articles at that time deserves a level of praise that I think doesn't deserve to be a roast. Every time Joshua and I worked together on a story, or just pushed it all together KotakuWe are listening to it when we talk about it X-Men as long as we hear about it, it's been fun.
Lastly, Joshua doesn't even go "really" because he will continue to do it for us here, so the whole place is ridiculous, and he obviously was looking for excuses to read a bunch of compliments and jokes about him, even though he would go to stay I love being around. Anything, Josh!
Tim Roger, Video Producer, Kotaku

Joshua is a sharp writer, whose outstanding work has inspired and annoyed me. But there is one thing that keeps confusing me. Joshua consumes untold amounts of film and television, plays all the great games like Borderlands 3 and the Jedi Fallen Order, reads books, maintains healthy adult relationships, and yet somehow finds time to post 4,000 times a day. I can only imagine that she has one of these time travels like Hermione in Harry Potter and all her days are actually 48 hours, which would be a good incentive as she prepares to re-enter the world of free writing.
I really enjoyed working with Joshua during these two weeks in Kotaku and will miss him a little.
Paul Tamayo, Video Producer, Kotaku
I am shocked that I am living at a time when the main video game site has two bright, black brothers. I'm even more shocked that this little hot guy is going away. I thought I would be the first to leave, but I thought the Puerto Rican power I would get now would be all the Bad Bunny's I would have in my office. Impressively, Joshua was one of my favorite grown-ups and had some really fun conversations in my office whenever he was nice to approach me. He has encouraged me to take great interests when I am struggling and his writing continues to inspire me to say things with gusto. Joshua has that kind of cutting power on the cross and it doesn't say it is and we really need that. In fact, I'm sure we'll see more on this site anyway. I'll just see him come into my office on Monday or something. It's a great job working with someone like Joshua and I know this is not a good situation because I also made the mistake of planning to postpone soon. So I think we like friends now or whatever.
Stephen Totilo, Editor-in-Chief, Kotaku
Joshua is still planning to take advantage of it, so I have no doubt why I am writing a raster for him. But then I started thinking back to his early days in Kotaku, which was, what, about a month ago? How much he has accomplished since then!
Josh is a stellar critic, who cares deeply about each sentence he puts on the page, who works hard to attract the reader and who tries to challenge them with new ideas. You pay attention to words that others can hear, and you want to amplify them. He does an important job.
As a manager, I try to be good with all my employees. And so to end this with an apology to Joshua, I vowed to love the soundtrack of the game, to type this enjoyment to appear on the webpage where I should have recorded the tape, put that tape on the tape recorder, and hid the recorder in the spirit temple and just let it go. I assure you, you would have enjoyed it that way.
