It’s the nationalism. Nationalism is a form of cognitive fencing. If you place it down, it can stop your cognition. People use it to get other people to close out their morality all throughout history, most prominently in soldiers, but all across societies. Causes lots of dumb and stagnation. I hypothesize it has similar effects as alcohol on the human mind, and if used habitually, can shut down portions of the brain.

A fascinating assumption.

I remember they not having a lot of Japanese stuff, last I looked, but that has since largely changed on basically all platforms ever since Japan loosened up their sphincter just a tiny bit.

Have they fleshed out their catalog yet? I’ve tried them a couple times and each time it gets a little better, but each time it’s still miles behind spotify or ytmusic.

Oh yeah, “movie theater dynamics” on home mixes kills me. I’m so glad Hollywood has, or at least had a period of that being toned down. Like I get the need to have explosions explosively louder than a whispering scene, but Jesus fucking Christ, give me a break, it doesn’t need to be THAT extreme.
In some movies when I’m watching at home, I swear, there’s a noticable two-mode system that’s quite clearly loud-mode and quiet-mode, that if you had a macro on your volume, you could literally switch between, and the mastering would fit perfectly, and it’s probably only 6-12db different.
That type of thing just isn’t necessary. Or maybe there could be a different audio track. People have the bandwidth and storage, now, it’d be fine.

I didn’t know if it did or didn’t. But since you say that’s the case, that sucks and I hate the publishers even more.
- Comment on Assassin's Creed is a "forever brand" because Ubisoft supported huge risks with it, ex director says: "Whereas, say, EA, you get these awful execs and they never made games and they came from toothpaste companies" 2 weeks ago:
You know how in tv shows or movies in the 90s, there were always a pair of villains or goons that worked for the main villain and were comic relief? Like the Jessie & James pair in Pokemon or the two guys in power rangers or whatever I’m thinking of.
Remember how occasionally, like if it were two guys, they’d fight between the two of them, on-screen?
I don’t know why this memory popped up. Curious…

I wouldn’t think a library/archive retaining data in an offline form would incur penalties, and I feel like preserving books for the future is the opposite of stupid.
- Comment on Why do each gaming fraction (pc, consoles, mobile) hating each other? 2 weeks ago:
It all happened starting with the xbox 360, the ps3, and the 2008 recession.
Everything always seems to come back to late stage capitalism and greed.
- Comment on Why do each gaming fraction (pc, consoles, mobile) hating each other? 2 weeks ago:
Because they ARE bad console ports. Because console versions sell more, because they don’t know any better, because consoles have a lower barrier to entry, because they’re cheaper, and that means that your demographic STAYS that age, because as babies are born and become old enough to play they get consoles, so investment firms can make the same stuff and make a fuck ton of money.
PC players are old, more experienced, and generally DO know better, so garbage butt shit doesn’t sell as well as it does on consoles.
It’s not a jealousy issue, it’s one of disappointment and frustration.
We can’t change the landscape without education. This is true even for politics.
Unfortunately, change is hard and stupid people breed, and hate and destruction is easier than understanding and construction.
Pc players are so fucking desperate for good things, and the console and mobile market prevents anything good from ever happening by being terrible role models for business.
- Comment on Why do each gaming fraction (pc, consoles, mobile) hating each other? 2 weeks ago:
As a long-time pc user, but also used to love PlayStation and Nintendo, I dislike consoles for enabling companies to make more money on less effort and being held to lower standards, accelerating the negative effects of capitalism. Basically, irresponsible consumerism and easily manipulatable tribalism. Basically, dumb fucking kids buying endless amounts of garbage and allowing investment firms to churn out even more garbage, inviting all of the greediest MBAs and passionless pieces of shit into the gaming community. Fucking EA is now owned by Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner.
Fuck.
I don’t hate consoles. I hate what has happened, and hated watching it happen in slow motion unable to do anything about it. It’s STILL happening, too.
Microsoft holds a LOT of blame for this. But also other things, values, groups, and entities.
- Comment on Why are some shows so dark? 2 weeks ago:
In audio, you would test with multiple reference monitors and rooms. Cellphone, car, shitty tv speakers, mono, etc. The idea being you record/edit/mix it on normal monitors, but then check it out in ways that normal people will, to see if it translates well or will sound like shit.
