Big wind down on content production. Netflix., Apple, et al. let loose so much cash for so long that the industry turned to glut.
It doesn’t help that most of what it produced is woke garbage that no one wants to watch.
Everyone who was decent left. They had some really cool series! The Geoff’s liberal wife left him when he was super vulnerable, and everyone caved to woke bullshit.
Funhaus was hilarious, but Adam was a cheater who liked to masturbate in the office on camera.
I’ve tried twice to play ff7. I don’t like it.
Ff7r is fun though. I’ve beaten and enjoyed 2, 3, 4, 5 (fan sub), and 6 on snes. Then I haven’t liked a final fantasy game since FF15, then 7R. 16 is dogshit with way too much gay.
Kanji isn’t magic. There are 2000 or so commonly used characters, and kanji are the word markers in Japanese sentences instead of spaces, except where some adverbs, adjectives, and particles are used. Foreign loan words are common and written phonetically in katakana, so you know most of those already. Just say “drink” or “cola” or “internet” with what you believe to be an extreme Japanese accent. That’s actually just how they say the word.
You can find the best materials on the high seas or even for free, and learning a language gives you something to do to keep your brain active.
I’ve literally never met a black woman that plays video games.
Men? Yes of course. Sports games, fighting games, halo when it was good, mainline shooter titles.
But still. Blacks are a small portion of the US, the cash cow of game sales outside Japan, and catering doesn’t make sense. Sports games are already majority black without any injected diversity required to do that.
