He's killed himself from over work now or transitioned into a woman

Lent flee

tfw you'll never experience 2000s japan before their economy went to complete shit and the country wasn't overrun with gaijins

Learn to live today, anon

love today

don't forget all the pajeets at their combinis. Anyways the jew doesn't forget, the jew doesn't forgive

I went in 2012 and they were still using Windows XP in cafes so it was the same vibe

It has never been easier "going back"

you dont belong here faggot

hard to believe there was a time when japs were known for their technology companies

It's ridiculous how far they fell. In the 80's Steve Jobs idolised Sony, Japan was synonymous with quality electronics. It really speaks to how hard Sony in particular fumbled in the early 2000's that they're not a top 20 company today. Walkman should have beaten the iPod.

I feel so vindicated for never liking Sony consoles. Nowadays everyone shits on them but I have been shitting on them since the PS1. In a long enough timeframe the whole world will see that I am always right.

Chinks and gooks undercut them hard. Sony tvs used to be best in class. Now no one really buys them.

they didn't fumble, amerimutts gutted them. now they're trying to do the same with China, but China didn't have to give up their military ambitions after WW2 so they have much more leverage

im one of them

My mere existence makes other immigrants seethe, the japs also seethe, and on top of that keyboard warrior seethe in behalf of the japs. Feels good.

Literally me

Nobody shits on their old consoles, and never will. PS1/PS2 are legendary. Modern Sony is a completely different company and you can't compare them.

japans economy already shat itself in the early-mid 90s which coincidentally is when japan started becoming shit in every respect culturally.

english teacher or software engineer?

China has much more scale with the population size to stay competitive and they're trying to reinvest into having a technological edge but they'll run into problems in the long run with ageing like Japan and the government being too controlling.

I miss the world where Japan had their own version of everything and would bring out products years before they were in the west.

Ps2 era was peak gaming all around. Console games were better and pc games were better. Fuck I hate this faggot era so much. How did we go down this path?

Nobody shits on their old consoles, and never will.

Because they are retarded plebeians who were too dumb to see that the playstation of the past was the same as today, their games always sucked ass, the consoles uninspired and carried by third-party publishers in the golden age of gaming that couldn't stop sucking their dick out of a misguided desire to be hip and trendy (same phenomenon that created the app store when iPhones were the shittiest smartphones around apart from capacitative touchscreen).

in 10 years there's going to be robots in half the homes, with half the white collar jobs being automated. You don't need more workers, society's aging is going to be offset by technology. Countries that didn't import retarded third worlders will do well in the new paradigm.

with the population size to stay competitive

their demographics means that they are going to go the way of japan

This images enrages and confuses the nintendie.

How did we go down this path?

mass adoption of the internet

LQA/FQA tester, but I did other things: Worked at a guest house, a warehouse and an "English school" (never sent your children to one of those.)

This era was when you could tell who liked video games (bought a dreamcast) and who was a NPC bandwagonner, like this guy

This looks like a face of loser who die from overwork being virgin.

anon zoomers are like 30. they belong here more than you

Wtf literally me

what do you mean? he just looked japanese

Never tried to go for a midnight release, ill do it for the switch 2

He's going to take you back to the past
When online games were good and not gaas.

the face of a guy who's about to play JRPGs and niche japanese dating sims for the next decade

china has slaves, you literally can't compete with that without your own slaves

GGGGRRRRRAAAAAAAAAA FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU I'M CONFUSED!!!!

Consoles turning into PCs where as before Sony, Sega, Nintendo all tried to create hardware barriers to make it harder to port whilst not porting themselves because they believed in console market growth. PC now is just the games made for console without a need to produce just for the PC platform and RTS games and the like that work best on PC aren't as popular as they were

be hated by everyone

"heh, everyone's so mad. I'm such an epic troll. Feels good"

Africa has plenty of slaves and yet it's still africa, I doubt it's relevant at all

WTF why is Iwata buying a PS2????

we're talking about countries here not lawless wastelands

Yeah I fucked my life up, I really wish I had gotten to go in like 2019 or 2020 like I had wanted to
It's literally pointless now

Uh....
That isn't western.
I hate it.

The west outsources to those slaves and the slaves in India and Vietnam and Bangladesh. At some point worker rights and wealth go up enough that they can no longer do cheap and have to compete on quality and innovation where all the western concepts like IP, branding, marketing come into play.

it's bad because it had all of the good third party exclusives

yeah, you right, the issue is that an average person isn't going to do research on if higher quality is worth the price and they just want cheap goods

Certainly reflected a time whet technology only gut better over time while also not being increasingly burdensome. That why I was a tech enthusiast back then and not now.

Playstation existed to facilitate third party success. They delivered consoles with capability that Nintendo consoles didn't have at a cheap price for the consumer and without ripping off the developer on licensing to allow them to reach a mass market. Sony spend $40 million marketing FFVII for Square. That collaborative approach beat out Nintendo who are much more like Apple since they focus on being a walled garden and pushing their own software first.

Go to Japan

Some whitoid is doing something retarded in public

Its all so tiresome.

I rest my case.

thread theme

ps2 era was over by the time this came out you retarded faggot

I look like this and I act like this

I went in 2014 and just recently in 2023. Tokyo was mostly the same good vibes I remembered but there were many more tourists. Other cities weren't as bad. I saw a nigger in a dress with a rainbow afro in the harajuku district. Grateful i went when i did because i am certain there will be more than 1 if i were to visit again.

I remember those days. Growing up with Playstation 1 and 2, playing vidya with my 2 younger brothers. It was a magical time. While I do enjoy gaming on my PS5 Pro, Sony's current leadership is a joke and it can't even hold a candle to PS1/PS2 era Sony.

That's their version anyways, for all the 3rd party facilitation they also pressured all studios, even small ones, into killing 2D games and not releasing games on other platforms. They were so overbearing they had the nerve to armwrestle Capcom and nearly lost Megaman X4 to Saturn.

Overrun with gaijins

Look at this gaijin who went once and never left Shibuya and laugh

2000s japan before their economy went to complete shit

That happened in the 90s

and the country wasn't overrun with gaijins

Leave tokyo lmao

Saturn was the console for 2D and Playstation was the console for 3D. That's been challenged since on a technical level but that's how it was viewed at the time, Sony must do what is modern and technologically advanced and that was 3D

No, Sony was breaking the law and comically evil. Nothing ever changes.

One of my friends lived in Tokyo for the last 12 years as he's married to a Japanese woman, he said it didn't change that much but there are more Africans now

he think Kure is off the beaten track

Sure the Yamato Museum is really rad, but get on my level.

Peak

Such an overused word in the 2020s internet landscape

Every word gets overused, like "fag".

2000s japan before their economy went to complete shit

Those were the 80s, retard.

You can play games from that era.

he thinks he can out nip me

Ill take that and raise you...

The boring Hyogo suburb that I lived in where I didnt see another gaijin for at least 5 months.

Not a single (one!) minority in sight

It's reallly all about that isn't it?

The boom ended after the 80's but he said complete shit. Japan was still a leader in games and electronics through out the 90's. If you bought a camcorder, camera, minidisc, discman, programmable robot etc it was probably Japanese. The internet and need for good software really hurt them

Anon, you are the retard, Japan has a city full of indians, a city full of brazilians, etc. It's fucking over.

I don't think I can out nip you, but here's a beach which had like three houses next to it.

80s Japan is probably not as amazing as games, anime and music makes it sound
youtube.com/watch?v=yHKb38-nl3U

why do troonlennials keep latching on their past? move on faggots it's a trash console with shit games, everything barely playable has been remastered 3 times already

stick to one of the gacha generals faggot

Japan...home...

gacha out of nowhere

actually obsessed

Which Playstation 2 games would give me the image of a gamer who hates Nintendo, hates the Gamecube, hates PC gaming, and hates Half life?
