This is the end of weeb vidya

Konata is a millennial.

Have Japanese developers considered to stop having localizers in Calirfornia co-write and design their games?

Why do people still use this garbage anyway?

We're getting into a generation of kids whose greatest exposure to gaming probably came from F2P shit.

>>718504819 (OP)
There's no time to spare for it.
You either play some vidya in your limited time off and risk getting attached to it and wanting to spend more time on it that you don't have, or you use the time to deal with life's problems (bills, shopping, networking, cleaning, etc.) or use it on sleep, other hobbies (e.g. gunpla, drawing, sculpting, video and photography, local travel, in-person games like TCGs, etc.), or effort to improve your situation (i.e. education or training). Video games are a huge time investment despite how some people think of them as "I'll hop on for an hour or two after work and then sleep" and the kind of games most popular right now are mostly two extremes, mobile games and long open world games/endless competitive games. The former demands short sessions but constant reengagement, the latter demands a lot of time and some people simply don't want to get leashed to either option via fomo or lack of progress in lieu of their other problems and interests. There's a lot of things competing for a very thin slice of pie right now for everyone, and to a lesser extent it's even partially true for many people outside of Japan too.

TLDR people are busy and don't want to waste their time making 1% progress in Elden Ring or doing gacha dailies.

Pretty sure the canon year is 1988.

>>718518420
I mean it's pretty much impossible for any of the big 3 to replace each other. All they do in regards to that is ape each other's stuff sometimes (e.g. CN/KR copy JP anime/artstyles, KR makes faux-JP games like Blue Archive, JP/KR dumps a bunch of CN shit into their games and comics because everyone loves a good qipao martial arts girl or ancient mythical evil, JP/CN drool over Kpop shit and old Nexon games, etc.)
They're all too different.
China is extremely culturally distant, mostly intentionally, with the rest of the world, and has an extremely weak media history to export due to a long period of video game suppression along with other media, leading to a lot of JttW, martial arts, supernatural/mythology and historical pieces as their big budget stuff while all the other topics for games are eaten up by gacha.
It's similar for Korea, as they were more steeped in specific genres and didn't branch out much until the last couple decades.
Japan has the strongest base for media historically because they're the most experienced overall, despite losing some dominance financially due to the prevalence of gacha, most of which (successfully profitable ones at least) is Chinese.
But OP's pic isn't relevant to any of that. It's just saying their kids are too busy timewise and are evaluating how they use that time more than money.

The cost of living outside the megacities (read: basically everywhere aside from central tokyo and the 5 nearby zones) is actually going down, due to homegrown food that is also cheap as well.
You don't even have to spend much on transport to your job either when public transport in japan (especially trains) are some of the best in the planet.

Now check how profitable gacha phone game sales are. They've just gone back to being gambling addicts, actual games being popular over there was a short-term fluke.

>>718520454
Looking at the article, they are unironically whining about jp zoomers no longer wasting their time with gachaslop.
Playtime is an awful metric for traditional vidya because you can 100% even disgaea in less than 100 hours total, while the average gacha and mobaslop has ranges where the average player having 2000 hours of playtime is not rare.

I like Konata because she is a otaku like me, except she has friends. Oh god I wish I had friends too ;_;

Konata also likes videogames and she is kawaii. And there are lesbians in the show and that's good because I like lesbians and I will never have a girlfriend. Why am I such a loser?!

Konata is like my dreamgirl she has a :3 face I love that. She is also nice why aren't real girls nice!? I got dumped a lot of times but I love konata and she wouldn't dump me because she's so nice and cool.

We would play videogames all day and watch Naruto and other cool animes on TV, and I would have sex with her because sex is so good. I wish I could have sex with a girl.

>>718531361
>Basically nothing kino gets localized out of japan anymore

You have things backwards. More stuff is getting translated than ever before. Japanese has been 'cool' to learn for a decade now so there's tons of fan translations and we also live in the age of 'good enough I guess' AI translations. The ugly truth is that Japan's otaku culture has reached its natural conclusion of gacha and vtuber idols that give direct dopamine injections into the brain without stuff like 'story' or 'gameplay' getting in the way.

the government is literally doing the gatekeeping for us, automatically filtering out the casuals and trannies who have infested anime over the last 20 years. This pushes anime and manga back underground, where it can go back to how it was in the 80s and 90s when it was actually good.

That's payment processors + age verification laws, not "ban anime" bill

>>718538676
Yeah and the statement was there haven't been any 4chan memes in like a decade, so they're wrong.

>>718539545
That was the point, yes. People are swamped with work and can only afford a limited selection of hobbies, if any, with their free time. Sometimes you have to forgo ones like video games to pursue others, or simply to sleep.

>>718536161
that's why they have such a robust game industry. piracy robs developers of sales, which is why the most pirate-heavy countries have zero quality game devs. There is a direct correlation between the two.

>>718508389
Yeah, it feels like your options for video games are 100+ hour long titans, mobile games you need to play 30+ minutes a day every single day, and indie roguelikes / competitive games that are designed to be played for 30+ minutes per session (please get addicted :D). And it's saying something when the 100+ hour long RPGs demand the least time.

There are so few games coming out any more that are 10 hour long action games with a bit of replayability. Nobody makes AA or AAA shmups. I get one game from Platinum every five years and then I wait for the next one while my friends insist I need to spend 300 hours to come play FFXIV with them.

>>718540236
There's a lot of reasons for that, from suits demanding a studio make Pokemon level blockbusters to consumers adopting habits that trend towards buying fewer games and consequently more long games in those few, or simply none at all (f2p), but it all boils down to a lot of the stuff that gets promotion and visibility being only those two options. People get angry when even a game that isn't full price has 10 hours or less of "content."
So you're just not given much nowadays for that medium length spot apart from some indies and a few child-oriented Nintendo flagship titles, which is unfortunate and leads to people investing their time in other stuff because they don't have enough for video games. Or if they do, they have to turn to older titles.
Also as an aside
>friends say "Play 300 hrs to play XIV with them"
Literally me, I do not want to pay an MMO sub either and I don't have the time for a game like that. I already regret the one subscription related to entertainment I already have and don't plan to renew it because I never fucking use it.

Yep, if you can tolerate this, you cant watch paint dry.

So as a joke, I went to my friend's house while wearing Konata's blue wig and uniform. I could barely stop my laughter as he went as red as a tomato and looked at me from head to toe with a bit of drool in his mouth. The way he stared made me feel a bit funny too, but I decided to tease him more by taking off my clothes. He asked me, "Are you serious?" and I said, "Yup."

He went silent for what seemed like forever, so I asked him, "What's the matter?" He said he's confused, but then his boner got really hard, which made me take off his clothes. I expected him to scream, "Stop!" as I kissed him and stroked his cock, but he instead shouted, "Oh God, Konata!" which made me get a boner myself. Before I knew it, I was blowing him for the first time till he came.

His semen was so thick, it got stuck inside my throat no matter how hard I swallowed. He then said, "I want to fuck you now!" and seeing that we've already gone that far and we were both naked, I obliged. A few hours later, the jerk went all pale and said to me, "Why did we do that? Now I'm totally gay." But he looked so cute all confused like that, so I took pity on him and reassured while wiping his cum off my face, "Let's just pretend I'm still Konata."

Actually, considering 90% of third-parties skip Nintendo systems, which are by far the largest place to game (after mobile phones) in Japan, it makes more sense now.

Gaming has always been niche despite how much the internet pretends it is. My coworkers only ever play shit like mobile legends and LoL/Dota2 and only very very casually. Gaming doesn't dominate conversations at all, maybe just in passing.
In Japan, gaming is even more niche. Just look at life time sales of games there. Most AA titles barely reach 500k lifetime sales while only nintendo or monster hunter games reach more than 3 million sales.
Most japanese actually touch grass and go out and enjoy life outside.

Economy is also failing so people can't hikkimori and NEET it up anymore because their parents can't afford it anymore.
You have a worse worklife than Americans with worse pay than Euros of course they can't afford to do anything but play on mobile consoles.

When was the last time you had a chat with your normie friend or colleague about what music you both listened to? At the very least music concerts are popular thing with normies because it's an easy excuse to go on dates. Same with movies. What's gaming's excuse?

Correction: Everyone is gaming less (other than maybe places discovering it now like India and China)
The Western game industry was shit from the onset and always had some complex towards the Japanese, even when they were branches created by them. When the western game industry realized no one wanted to buy their faggy shit, they launched an all out assault on the Japanese. This did significant damage to the Japanese industry to the point where they gave up on everything except the mass appeal normalfag slop that is only kept afloat by the companies sitting on billions. This was the death of the last bit of passion in games. Now everyone maybe occasionally toys with something that jerks their special interest, the latest viral indie game, or the latest Nintendo game. Gen Alpha doesn't give a shit about much other than slopform content like TikTok and YouTube shorts so these guys are pretty much screwed. Some retards in the West decided they absolutely had to be like Hollywood and crash and burned everything in the process. Gamers don't exist anymore as they have no more games to game.

>>718548152
Man, why would anyone even use it at that point, I'm sure there's tags that have like 40 pages of spam that isn't cleaned up just for that.

>>718553746
Everyone knows Japan is the only place that makes actually good gacha games. They still can't compare to an actual nongacha game. Something like Gun Gun Pixies will always beat a mobile game even though it is shit because it has a more unique gameplay loop and has a progression system that is more rewarding and sexually gratifying as a result. The only gacha I know of that can stand up to regular games is perhaps DisgaeaRPG and it is because it is in essence a Disgaea game with all of the mechanics just being a more standard rpg instead of a strategy one.

nice recommendation

>>718572103
>Survey results from Intage indicate that Gen Z tends to multitask when interacting with content more so than other generations, with a stronger awareness about how much they’re benefiting from the time they’re investing. As free-to-play titles require a smaller initial investment than full-price games and can be consumed during idle time (while commuting to school or work), this might be a factor behind the drop in money and time spent on games among Japanese youth.
So no, it's not that they stopped playing games or view it as a waste of their time. It's that they're increasingly focused on F2P mobile kusoge they can fuck around while "playing", like everyone on /v/ has known for years.

Zoomers are playing less, just like how they're watching (anime, TV series, movies...) less, because their attention span is completely fried, they became incapable of sitting still for 25 minutes doing the same task, watching one anime episode for example.
They watch everything on a speed modifier, usually X2, and that's if they even watch the thing at all, sometimes they just watch a few tiktok edits and they consider having watched the thing. The problem? You can be damn sure they will join every talk about the thing because they have an opinion and they feel damn entitled about sharing it.
For games it's even worse, you can check the steam statistics for achievements, only around 10% of accounts having bought a copy of X have actually finished it.
