Liked the commentary on the videos, and you did great dubbing of the voices.

These same card companies would gladly produce the most heinous illegal adult films if it made them money. This isn’t even a PR play, this is just dumb business practice.

Art doesn’t create behaviors and experiences, it’s made because of them. Maybe not a good sign for Japanese culture but it isn’t causing a lot of harm I also really liked the Zelda music in the background! Thx :3

What’s the name of this game? never seen this Pokémon game before

I prefer no reaction than a fake bad acted reaction tbh

DEI is Marxism. Equity is Marxism. Marxism destroys everything good and healthy

I like your name, I live in Ibaraki

My heart sank soon as I heard there was a show coming. I'm surprised more RGG fans aren't upset or worried about this. My first thoughts were it must a cash grab and without the substorys, heat moves, kareoke and other mini games so much is lost as all the filler does contribute to their characters and depth. Also they have so many cutscenes it's already a series in itself. It may be popular but it still has a specific niche and I fear those who come from the show will really be shocked by how the games actually are.

I don't know why people are using this as some kinda of truth even the author Said it's up to "interpretation " like hell man why are the anime community have a lot of freaks and why are they talking about politics?

Achieving profitability from few high-value sales is not an uncommon tactic (see Apple, luxury brands) and it seems to line up with the current trend to "destroy" gamers, so I kind of expected it to happen

great video!

You have a great personality for this! if you got a better mic I think it might help show off more.

[Don't] feed the beast.

I'm on the spectrum. It feels like neurotypical people have an almost eugenic level of disgust and derision for neurodivergent people. A lot of "treatments" for the "high functioning" autistics border on the sort of "therapy" they used to do in asylums to force homosexuals to change into heterosexuals.

Hey a lot of autistic people don t like being called high or low functioning since it sets expectations on us, and some of us need different levels of support at different times

The standard used for diagnosing autism is symptom based, that's how so many autistics can learn to mask so they appear "neurotypical". We aren't "brains in a body", we are a body. The stomach effects emotional health as much as the brain and, there's a significant overlap between autism and gerd. Personally I think that it's less "curing" autism, but finding ways to address to negative symptoms caused by diet. Neurotypicals likely just have a higher tolerance for slop.

Games are a medium. A medium which has more and more consumers as time goes. I think such generalization is unfair, as you could absolutely make the same point of people consuming any toher medium, be it book or movies. But just as a movie is not equal to a movie, a game is not equal to a game. It would make more sense to compare such metrics across different genres, because, as someone else pointed out, the differences may be caused by gaming becoming more and more casual and less nieche. I believe we've seen something similar with movies, where previous generation called it doom of younger one, but, surprise surprise, documentaries and eg. horrors will have vastly different audiences, which makes such comparisons as a whole medium dubious and blurry at best, and manipulative at the worst.

Why bother? Maps are linear, open world is faked, stories are reduced to nothing but tropes and political preaching, and strategy has devolved to a single enforced meta. _What is there to even bother to demonstrate thinking ON?_

It's all because most games aren't games anymore, they are just slot machines, and stimulation devices, They took all the parts of games out that don't contribute to corporate profits. (more true for mobile games than desktop)

More women start playing games, and now gamers are dumber, i wonder who just started playing games?

Gamers and Children are not more stupid. If anything that are more smart but less likely to engage with your way of thinking. Now what I am interested in is the affects of younger child gamers and ADHD where I don't think they are less intelligent I do think they have or we have been creating people to have lower attention spans for better or for worst.

I don't think it's gamers that had gotten dumber, it's because there's way easier access to games and more cheap made simple games that don't require any entry skill, it's simply that more dumber people that got their hands on cheap games, not gamers becoming dumb

I think big sweeping claims about human behavior are always a little dangerous. We can make a suprising amount of true claims which are backed up by things proving causal links - humans generally take the path of least resistance, for example. But theres' nuance in that. Maybe it's most accurate to say "Humans generally take the path of least resistance, at least when without strong reasons to do otherwise". Something else to mention here - this article doesn't explain methodology. Maybe the study did, but there are clarifying details that need to be brought in, like does this include people who primarily play mobile games as gamers, or the games the poll takers play in general. We are talking about a poll after all, people could hear the word strategy and just immediately think of dense strategy games they don't like instead of the strategy inherent within your average video game. Has the base of responders shifted over 9 years? I think it's scary to think that devs are going to be applying this data honestly. The same way that I really don't buy that human attention span just nosedived in a few years (from an evolutionary perspective this seems hilariously incorrect) but instead we now have instant and almost entirely uninhibited access to something that hijacks our brains for the purpose of getting attention. this is significant because people tend to treat those statistics (as this article even calls out) like humanity is devolving, but in reality if you put the average person in the same situation they used to be in, you would get a mostly similar result. The issue there is that people are no longer putting themselves in a good situation to be productive or live good lives, and are instead spending hours in the internet content drain. I imagine the same can be said here - games are becoming better at manipulating us. If you gave people a library consisting of games from 2009-2015, compared to 2016-2024, how would they respond to this questionnare over the respective era of games?

Great. Mom was right.

Bluntly speaking "Diversification" is largely to blame.

that's crazy, all I play are grand strategy games

No actually, gamers aren't getting dumber More people are playing videogames, mobile gaming is even more popular, Gen Alpha and the later half of Gen Z are gaming more. More stupid people are gaming

1st thing - WTF 11 YO is watching porn? even with old internet I don't think you notice those things until you are 12-14 and starting to go through puberty(unless those are no longer the ages kids go through puberty nowadays) before that point you don't even have the hormones to get horny to begin with and it all will seem gross. 2nd thing - they include increasingly more casual people as gamers with a wider and more casual audience as they years go by, with more casual players that are not "real gamers" you have less and less strategic and tactical gameplay. those include the "mobile gamers" like Genshin Impact(which was the best mobile games had to offer at the time, and at least have actual gameplay and story) or worse Candy Crash(basically casino bait). they mark them as gamers due to playtime which in the case of casino bait games is just gambling addicts and not gamers, which lack any sort of critical thinking skills anyways. 3rd thing - AAA studios and game producers force DEI and BRIDGE initiatives onto games which reduces the game's quality resulting in less actual games being released, this impacts the perception of "games" in the general audience of normies that qualify as gamers as they don't know the days of good strategic games like Supreme Commander and Homeworld with their scenario being an absolutely amazing tutorial AND story experience teaching you how to play the game using the game's narrative with only the win condition at the top and a side-objective from time to time that will give you a tip about how to approach the target, or be a challenge to unlock a certain unit/skill before you should be able to to help you in clearing the main objective. game DEVS are the ones not making those games, and when they do(like in the case of Palworld and Helldivers) players flock to those games like moth to flame. final conclusion: because complex games are no longer the norm, gamers don't have the game knowledge to get into more strategic games when they find them, with the embargo on the old guard of game devs the decades of knowledge of game optimization, style, and design are not being utilized in newer games making for lesser performance and lesser quality of gameplay.(like why the FUCK PirateSoftware is an indie, and Grummz isn't a game exec anymore?) and with lower visibility for good games due to no access to mainstream gaming media coverage(being relegated to the indie section or using stunts like the v-tuber pre-launch of palworld) those more strategic games remain a niche, mostly exclusive for the more hardcore gamers. and gaming is made that way to keep people dumb and obedient, just like movies, TV, and schools. I remember the days where schools taught us to do math, and my teacher actually had time to explain taxes, loans, and go over general economics in math class(the late 2000s). where my weekend TV show was a fucking biology class(there were 3 DIFFERENT SHOWS FOR THAT!!! all airing one after the other, and they were fun), history classes(another 2 shows) or something else educational on morality or whatnot.

I mean, what else would happen when the average idiot comes into gaming? Normies are mentally handicapped almost in their entirety.

i truly believe, that gamers didn't get dumber, it's just that the medium opened to normies and mobile "players" therefore all stats are impossible to read, the average population has less than 90 IQ. Most studies before that, found that games are actually beneficial for the mind, helps keeping tracks of multiple focus points at any given time, helps with maths, strategy, planning, 3D space localisation and manipulation, time management etc etc.

Shut ur web ahh

You can't expect players to care about strategy when win/lose are determined by micro-transactions and the latest power creep. What use is "long term planning" when devs can make your account obsolete with a single patch?

theyve just gotten normie-er

A large portion business has shifted towards emphasizing gambling and long term monetization schemes like battle passes and in game purchases instead of making quality games unfortunately. Could be one reason for the mental decline

Sony will probably drop it once they get the readings from all the players that are horny (there are SO MANY). I liked your video, keep up the good work 👍

Sony won’t be able to handle the heartbeat you give them with your hatred of them in your emotions

I love sleep baby inc!!!

I'm playing Palworld and Helldivers 2. The giants have failed us, its time for the new kids to have their shot.

But all Massive Mainstream Western Entertainment Corporations hate me. Are you telling me I have to only play Japanese and indie games? Way ahead of you, that's been 90% of what I've played the past 10 years, 100% for the last 5 RDR2 and GOW 2018 are the most recent western AAAs I've played.

Yes well its called a boycott and they have made that a hate speech crime

Were you one of those people 10 years ago crying about SJWs trying to shove their politics down our throats through vidya?

youtube should stop giving me this trash in my recommendations.

But their selling all the things that I want (if I ignore every anti consumer aspect of them) how could I possibly say no?

Dude what accent is that?? I thought you where speaking German at first.

Best Quote by Aristocratic Spoon: Wokeness is an anti-meritocratic social vision that while masquerading as a methodology of explaining all of the world’s ills, real or imaginary, for that matter through the lens of race, gender, or sexual orientation, is really just a ruse to accrue more political power all the while ignoring all the differences between race, sex, gender, and culture. You’re Welcome.

How dare you Sweet baby inc putting black and gay people in my video game ??? WHY DO YOU GUYS HATE MEEEEEEE

Imagine being a leftist so addicted to the smell of your own farts that you truly believe anybody who disagrees with you is an actual Nazi.

no one cares cringe vtuber

Not surprising. Nearly all companies are infested with the western virus, not only Capcom or Square. It's why the game is censored, like Versus too.

I saw some people on reddit with a "they've been localizing their games internally for years, so that's totally the experience they want for their overseas audience!" cope, justifying Cygames garbage localization. Even in Shadowverse it was bad, they made Luna into a childish brat, instead of a scaredy little girl. Not to mention the insane amount of censorship that plagued the game, hundreds of card arts got gutted.
