Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Different market so that's irrelevant. Single player games aren't competing with gacha, they are competing with same genre games from the past 30 years with with deep discount.

No one will go "I am spending $400 on this single player game game because that's how much I spend on gacha". They are more likely be like "I'm not gonna spend $60 on a lower budget DMC clone because I can get DMC5 for $10."

Some time ago I watched a short course of video editing.

Youtuber with enough experience will always feels like flawlessly speaking.

That is the magic of subtle editing: a short video will have multiple cuts that remover breathing, gestures, reduce length, etc.

Its impressive because of youtuber I watched had this thing of constantly blinking. But it just became apparent in his live videos, because obviously those cant have edits. But the video was smoothly, with barely any blink from him.

I say that because Im watching a course right now, and the person teaching takes deep breaths every new paragraph. Nothing wrong here, but once you get used to videos having a fluent and dynamic conversation, hearing the speaker with deep breathes feels like she has some health problem.

If it makes you happy...

The same could be said for heavy drugs

I have never payed $400 for a drug.

Then again longest drug experience I have had was three days. Gachas last far longer.

I think what matters is how often you spend tbh....

Spending $400 per year on gacha is only $33 a month for gaming. Honestly I spent far more than that per month on single player games in 2024, because I bought many games and finish them in a week or days so they add up.

Spending $400 every week on gacha is another story though....

Nice to see some familiar faces still active here

Hope all y'all are well

Cheers
