You know I remember late 90s/early 00s Japan documentaries where minor celebrities and presenters would go to Japan to document the culture and every now and again they'd wander into some "odd" shop or stall selling japanese hentai or porn, and they'd have this incredibly confused expression on why there was cartoon porn with "pokemon" (pokemon being used in place of anime) characters.

>>289882You guys are aware that ER was a hoax, a psyop to push gun control, right? It was literally a (((Hollywood))) production and a poor one at that. The acting from all involved – ER himself in his car with his pathetic soliloquies, to the falsely moralistic father expressing a fake disbelief, to the weeping retarded bespectacled man grossly over-acting his part…it was all just a theatre play for the uncritical public. The Jews who control the media seem especially focused on demonising young men who do not submit to the feminised rules of psycho-commie world and they do this through loudly making all kinds of logical appeals that sway the minds of unthinking goyim. Fabricating a large-scale argumentum ad misericordiam (appeal to pity) usually works, because the rushing weight of the emotional reaction to the embellished and fake "mass shooting" blocks out whatever counter-balancing weight even just a little critical thinking could have supplied. Masculine men, authentically masculine men who can think independently, do represent a threat to their power, and so it naturally redounds upon them to think out strategies for doing away with them.

>>291036New generations of programmers and creators are also mostly aspies with severely limited imaginations who spent their childhoods in front of tablets instead of exploring the world.
There will never, ever be a gaming company like Blizzard North where the composer (Matt Uelmen) goes to Haiti to get sound samples from military marches for Diablo 2 background bits.
Or epic Starcraft characters like Alarak voiced by seasoned pros like John de Lancie (who was an original voice actor in Star Trek).
Gameplay that challenged players, had multiple layers of complexity and stopped handholding after the initial beginning.
Why? Because the people who make modern games are garbage. They are post-geeks who have zero insight or life experience.
These are the people who did nothing except stare at a screen for 20 years and now they're creating video games because all they can do as a profession is stare at a screen.
But they don't know what makes a good soundtrack immersive. They don't know how to captivate audiences with gameplay mechanisms that feel immersive. They don't know how to create color layouts, dungeons or maps that don't feel dull and repetitive.
Games are now purely geared to extract microtransaction money from other retards who have done nothing except pay for microtransactions to 'speed up their next process by 2 hours' from ages 5-20 and have no life experience, and thus expect nothing better.
It's simply better to quit gaming or only play pre-2020 games. There are a handful of good games still being released today, but for every such game, you have 99% utter burning garbage.

I honestly think it would blow zoomers minds that people used to host their own MP servers for games.
I mean, like a basic ass MP shooter made now lives and dies based on a central server owned by the company. Imagine if you couldn't play Quake 3 online anymore because id software shutdown their servers and there was no way to run your own.

It's as if they switched the product just a little bit every year to make it more marketable and now the very nature of it changed into slop. I guess I'm rambling, but who cares. Your identity being expressed in a character you saw on a screen or a video game you play is stupid and for cattle

>In the past being a geek meant at best you weren't worth interacting with or at worst painted a target on your back, but nothing major on a societal level, just that you were uncool. Now (or soon enough), you are no longer uncool or a geek but a crab or a potential shooter, an entitled manchild, or some other negative label. Geek is no longer uncool, uncool is no longer geek. The outcast is no longer a geek, the outcast is no longer uncool. The outcast is [NULL], ready to be redefined to whatever is required, irrespective of what the outcast themselves think. In fact, you can go one step further and say uncool is [NULL] itself. Many things now are either "good" or "bad" (usually in the service of shilling some kind of product).
>For the last 10+ years or so, probably since a certain idiot fucking gentleman, there's been an effort to paint the would-be geek as a born misanthropic miscreant, whose isolated miserable life is a failing of themselves as opposed to their material circumstances and/or external forces acting on them. Sole blame lies on them, "They didn't try hard enough" and when they snap on occasion it's just proves that were a bad egg to begin with. IIRC, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, but there was this bizarre attributing of frat boy/cool kid crimes (and sociology) to male geeks for a while in the early 10s and how male geeks/nerds/outcasts need to do better which eventually culminated in the "gamers are dead" fiasco and gamergate shit.The crab/outcast/loser is the perma-boogeyman.
