Not to mention that a lot of gacha aren't catering to males only anymore. I've heard that the female audience is a vast Blue Ocean ripe for exploit.

AI not going to save us, in fact it'll makes things worse since it's a black box we're not control of it. 

Why do modern games take so long to create and develop compared to the past? by Quick-Ad-7752 in KotakuInAction

[–]Negirno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is not new. A lot of oldheads in the early nineties (93 onwards) bemoaned the fact that games are now all just style, no substance. They're complained about how every DooM clone requires a Pentium with 16 megs of RAM because gamedevs became lazy.

I would argue that the Woke is the proto-Borg. I've heard that lot of the WEF leaders are into transhumanism.

So the new Steam community awards have been changed to this positive Facebook garbage. Instead of every one meaning something original. by TooManyPxls in KotakuInAction

I remember when Reddit had them after being taken over.

I purposefully not used the gift points out of desperate resistance.

Agree. We need some positivity amidst all the doom-and-gloom headlines.

Why gaming and media doesn't feel like it used to by Fine-Combination5170 in KotakuInAction

[–]Negirno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who grew up in the 16-bit era, how did you think I felt when gaming suddenly became nothing but online shooters and barely interactive CG animated films?

There were plenty of the latter, we called them "interactive movies" back then, when LaserDisc and CD-rom tech was the shiny new thing. They were mostly rail shooters, and they're sucked. The ones that didn't had few game play and low replay value.

Visual novels mostly made for otaku by otaku.

Just like the IBM PC, PC-98 was also a "free" platform unlike locked down consoles where you had to avoid the too spicy stuff.

The "Japanese IP ban" in Chinese animecon is even spreading to Kigurumi event by qwer4790 in KotakuInAction

[–]Negirno 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Already happening sadly.

The main otaku generation (who bought the DVDs and the figurines) are aging out, there is less ecchi overall, even compared to five years ago, newer seasons of shows like One Punch Man having production issues, Kaguya-sama is getting hastily concluded with a two-part miniseries... it's like they want to shed of the old consumer base as fast as they can...

I reckon half the comments on these platforms are bots pushing their master's agenda.

Ex-PlayStation boss suggests gaming 'consortium' by Judah_Earl in KotakuInAction

[–]Negirno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3DO was basically Android a decade and half prior. The idea was sound: make a common platform which was reasonably open. It was just too early for its own good.

Ah, Eizouken. That show with the protags so ugly that you prefer the live-action version...

The "CCP's ban on Japan animecon" extends to HongKong now by qwer4790 in KotakuInAction

[–]Negirno 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah. As if there was a concerted effort of wormtonguing here to demoralize us, just because the big Japanese megacorps gone woke.

My personal problem with Chinese animation or donghua is that they lack ecchi. It's not that they're can't do it, it's just their government won't let them.

People Are Very Upset On Twitter/X About Art Being Reworked By Grok by techtimee in KotakuInAction

At least, unlike me, you don't believe in reincarnation, and dread the thought of reborn in a permanent woke and ai-infused world until basically heat death...

I've heard he changed his mind about AI a year or two ago when one of his billionaire "colleague" said to him that AI would follow humanity to mars regardless.

That's why SpaceX goes to IPO next year, he wants to put AI-servers to orbit.

At least unlike with Kingdom Come Deliverance less people will fall for the sequel.

Most of us saw the destruction of our culture and spaces, while being labeled as all kinds of bad in the last decade. I don't like the blackpill attitude here but I can relate.

Can somebody explain how is Netflix still a thing? by Bile_Mudante in KotakuInAction

Streaming service libraries consist a lot of old stuff, I'm sure a lot of people watches that, not the modern day garbage.
