  Modern age was the weakest. Beyond that you got to space which could’ve been fun if you managed to get that far.

  I got the collector edition. Never again.

  True, quantity isn’t better than quality, but it may cover more interests and cater to a larger customer base, but who are we kidding.

  To me it feels Netflix doesn’t have enough signal in the noise. The recommendations rarely deviate from what they generally suggest to customers or my niche just doesn’t have enough shows to watch.

  But I’m not sure Netflix actually knows my favorite genres and how they might be combinable. It just suggests general Shonen anime, when I only watch some specific genres of shows regardless whether they are Japanese, animated or neither.

  I dunno, can’t be that hard to zero in on my tastes or it doesn’t matter to them that much after all. Who knows.

  I think the difference was that before other countries would see themselves as allies and thus as part of the West. NATO is just one of many alliances that went beyond just pretending.

  Now Trump threatened all of this. Take over Canada? Get back the Panama Canal? “Rescue” Greenland? Get out of NATO? Suddenly it becomes clear that it was a mistake to trust the US so much and that the same rules should count for them as anyone else.

  Assuming it was great at some point and people were trying, I would argue at the point when propaganda progressed far enough that enough people thought it was already great. You stop trying when you think you reached the goal. To this day no politician can afford suggesting otherwise unless it’s to make it “great again” I guess.

  I admit I was thinking about E33 as well, but my niche is narratively strong games or puzzle games. Too many AAA games are narratively disjointed open world messes and when it comes to puzzles indies are just king. Animal Well, Blue Prince, The Witness etc.

  Google bad record profits last quarter, so it can’t be that bad.

  For me it’s a lack of creativity and innovation when it comes to gameplay. Indies or just smaller studio productions take more risks and that’s a lot more exciting.
