i'm so sad of learning how people actually hate this game. it is probably the final fantasy that I had replayed the most. it was probably circumstantial but i loved it a lot

the wiimote accelerometer improved greatly when they added the wii remote plus attachment. sadly, I can only remember 3 games that actually used that capability (and one is from the wiiu) but their control scheme was really great. it was a shame that they released the plus after the community decided that motion controlls = bad so nobody wanted to develop games using them

this one was never really popular, but hardware gimmicks. from the light gun to dance pads, going through wii motion controllers or even double screen of the ds and wiiu (fuck you nintendo for abandonning the wiiu) I really miss having different ways of playing games that was not only game pads or keyboard + mouse. even if the games were not great, having some physical interaction with them was fun to explore. sadly, even when they were "common", not many games made very good use of them, resulting in most games being mediocre at best

the closest modern equivalent I can think about is VR and it is not something I want to play with

i just watched Kids on the Slope a week ago or so and it is so sad we didn't hear about it before. it is a great work and so satisfying to watch. the only downside is that they skipped a bunch of things from the manga and some scenes feel weird because of that

capitalism is the main source of PTSD

the netflix series did a good job of keeping the core of the story while changing many things from the original work. while I think the manga is way better, this version is a good gateway for anyone that does not want to commit to 1000+ episodes

capitalism (or at least the weird version of it used in the tech world) is about short term profit. if they get good numbers from this, they can make future projections of an imaginary increase over the years and make the ad companies happy for a while. they do not care about breaking the product in the long term
