Fifa/call of duty was the black pill on that topic. While the gamer culture is still a strong driving force behind sales of consoles, there are two paralel economies to ours.

1) Mobile/facebook moms.
2) Sports games + COD

And these paralel economies are just as insular as you could immagine, they are still huge drivers of revenue. But I don't see that as a bad thing of itself, since both do boost the gaming economy in general. The issue is just, that the entire topic of gaming is insanely convoluted to talk about, since you're covering several cultures.

Ironically enough, I kinda had to accept this while going to conventions. They are THE DEFINITION of culture clash, since it's the ONLY FUCKING PLACE to socialize for young people, no matter if they are gamers like me, trooned out weirdos, or even the Artist chicks. Those are 3 COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CULTURES, all forced into the same place. And it works about as well as London right now :D

Imagine living in a Muslim country like UK, and being surprised you cannot sing christian songs :omegalul:

Yes, it is sad, but games are no longer made for people like you. But that's not such a big deal once you get over the initial shock.

The industry is huge, and you have literally decades worth of back log anyway. And you're working now, so you won't be binching games that way anymore anyway.

Although, there is one advice I can give. Learn to play the games for everything they offer. Go on a side quest here and there, and try to not be satisfied with just "good enough". Once you do that, the hours for some games might unironically explode all of a sudden.

Btw, I watched it yesterday, and both Flash and Green lantern got worse deaths in my opinion.

Well, Wonder woman got the worst one. She died a complete failure as a result of being unable to reason. Batman just got a treat of a stupid speech with no punchline, but Wonderwoman's death was a punchline of its own.

I just saw an insanely funny video on housing.
> The government is bad mannnnnn
> And what would you tell to people, who say to young people to stop drinking coffee
> Go ask single mothers. They aren't going to Starbucks.....

She unironically mentioned people who are responsible for doubling the demand for houses, and she SERIOUSLY didn't even realize it? Bruh.....

@ChristiJunior
This Batman's death happened in a multiverse fanfic. The death was boring and retarded in many ways. But.... Joel was way worse. It was more brutal, his death was not even payed for by a good old revenge. Instead, we got a story, where his daughter murdered hundreds of people for literally nothing.

Absolute waste.

If "kill the justice league" was 2 percent more realistic 

Brainiac would manage to hack Amanda's pathetic primitive technology, and all 4 heads would suddenly explode 27 seconds into the game.

(Justice league spoiler) 

This game broke the promise of the name.

Of course it doesn't let you kill the woman. -_-

Out of all the woke rules, the role of "woman must be always in the right" is the most toxic one.

>adaptation so bad the author killed herself

That's a first, I think.

For context, this is the live adaptation of the josei manga 'Sexy Tanaka-san', about a frumpy office lady who finds a new and rejuvenating life after discovering belly-dancing.

The content doesn't really matter however. What does matter is that apparently the studio was exceedingly difficult to work with for no real reason - to the point of completely changing the story and sabotaging the work - and refusing to consult with the author and making a faithful adaptation despite a verbal contract requiring them to do so. So what we're left with is this middle aged woman's life work, her passion project, essentially stolen from her, ruined by executives, slammed by critics, and culminating in a very public blowup against the studio and screenwriter followed by her suicide over the matter.

Something to consider the next time a shitty live action anime adaptation comes out, I suppose.

Thank you, but I have no idea what's the difference :D They are all random letters to an uneducated primitive like me.

@Awoo
Yeah, but this one isn't even manipulative. She's just an angry
sassy black woman.
