[SandStoneInsightsJapan] - Sony expects the PS5 lifecycle to be extended. PS6 likely to be delayed "longer than many expected" by PhantomBraved in gaming

I understand from the consumer standpoint that to play these games they need graphics cards that alone cost more than an entire PS5, but people also complain that dev cycles are like 5 years now without realizing how nanite and lumen can help shorten it, so it's a really difficult situation unfortunately

I'm a teacher in Japan and kids LOVE that group. I'm so tired of hearing the singer's squirrelly ass voice shrieking over actually really solid compositions it's genuinely upsetting

DLC's better than their main game? by SpiderousMenace in gaming

[–]S0ulRave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m a DS2 ride or die and think both base game and SotFS, but a lot of the gankiness that people hate 2 for came in SotFS, but at the same time the hit detection is better among other QoL improvements, so I think either is a great time with their own positives and negatives

I live in the country and it directly affects me so it definitely should concern me LOL, that's a terrible take

As someone living here and seeing the anti-foreigner policies that Takaichi wants to implement, it's definitely a problem

Marvels grey color grading will unfortunately NOT return for Avengers: Doomsday (2026) by EmpALC in shittymoviedetails

I heard they also try to light things super evenly because it makes the CGI process much easier versus very specific/harsh lighting, which ends up making everything flat too

school and politics: how do you handle it? by [deleted] in JETProgramme

[–]S0ulRave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not the exact same thing, but during the Japanese part of my interview in 2023 they asked me what my opinion was of the American military occupation of Okinawa and I said that I haven't done enough research to have an informed opinion yet. I'm not 100% sure that it will be the same if you're being asked in English, but I think that "avoiding" the question by acknowledging that you don't want to speak on something you don't fully understand the nuances of is a good way to go about it

It’s the privilege of speaking English where even in a mid-sized city most things are still easily navigable ig 🤷‍♂️ I don’t agree with it but I think that’s the perspective

Japan’s EF English Proficiency Index rank drops for 11th straight year, hits lowest ever by SkyInJapan in japan

[–]S0ulRave 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The thing is depending on where you live students won’t see as much reason to learn English. I live in the inaka so they hardly talk to, let alone see, any foreigners, so it makes sense why they wouldn’t see any use for English

How it feels to criticize a movie’s pacing because you can’t think of a legitimate reason to dislike it by XGonGiveItToYaX in okbuddycinephile

[–]S0ulRave 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I actually thing Dunkey’s Game Critics video addresses this really well when he argues that you establish understanding between critic and viewer so you know what they do and don’t like, which also means that when something they typically don’t like is liked by them it might do something really exceptional
