I stopped watching it entirely and I'd been watching since 2005. The Contender Series flooded it with regional MMA to keep up with artificial demand from the network deal. They're terrible at promotion, they've devalued everyone to prop up the brand, they've devalued the belts, and the match making is worse than ever.

The odious weaponizing of the sport in terms of culture war is another breaking point. Trump and Tucker Carlson one week. Abu Dhabi the next. Bolsonarites. Kadyrities. Bad vibes all around.

I just got booked for my 2nd role in a big movie coming out not a big part but i got a few lines ill be saving the industry

niche short form content

Switch was more than capable of handling a home console Pokemon game, Gamefreak simply couldn’t do it

Flyers and small booklets you can take for free at coffee shops

idk about games brother lol

Everything is better all the time!

Whatever these are

futbol is in a good place generally too, you can have good matches everday

I believe it

Movies kinda over the last few years. Late 10’s was f***ing horrible

none

Nah if there’s anything that’s fallen off it’s football. Look at the best 20 players 10 years ago and compare it to now. We’re in a f***ing drought. No way ppl are actually looking up to players like Vinicius and Haaland. Also last Euro’s was mid as f***.

Cinema is on the up !

in what sense we are in a drought?? all the time rn appareal good players, good matches, idk what you follow but for me futbol in general is the best entertainment you can see
like tomorrow you can see flamengo vs bahia or any UEFA CL classification match and is gonna be more fun that any movie remarke

best of luck

Idk I was more talking about La Liga Premier League and Champions League. There just aren’t that many interesting players and personalities at the top of football like there were 10 years ago

i feel you, we dont have more messis, dinhos or ronaldos, i just feel that the game is more equal for all the teams in general you can see real madrid equal 1to1 to mallorca or river plate loosing to a second class "b" team

The fantasy genre of books is goated rn

Young adult and romance run books.

how are games not getting better? the best games of the 2010's are far better than the best games of the 2000s.

I expect the best games of the 2020's to be far better than the best games of the 2010s

I don’t agree with this. Graphically yes, but game design wise, writing wise, aethestic wise, no. 2010s did have some great games, but most were in the first half riding off the 2000s gaming wave.
Mid 1990s-2014 was the peak gaming era
The technological restrictions meant that games couldn’t get by on “looking good” (which is subjective and a lot of graphically powerful games are still ugly looking with just high res assets nowadays)
They had to rely on other ways to make games great, like writing, gameplay, aesthetics, sound design etc.
Most games nowadays are lacking on that stuff because the games will sell regardless.
Also there were a lot more risks back then, with the smaller budgets and teams.
2000s games laid the framework for pretty much every single successful game or genre today, it’s insane.
There are no 2010s game (def not 2020s game) topping half life 2, wow, Warcraft 3 or bioshock. Games like that birthed gaming today.

I’d argue a game like Bloodborne could go toe toe with any of the 2000s games you listed.

Not even close man. The influence of those games is unmatched. The creators of blood borne would probably say the same thing. Half life is just a way better game than bloodborne, especially in its day. It could be easily argued that that game is what popularized steam. The whole dark souls lets uncover the story as we go and it’s optional how much you engage with it, was based off bioshock’s storytelling. No souls game boss was as fun or felt as good as downing raid bosses in peak wow. Warcraft 3 created the moba genre. Bloodborne influenced like lies of P and a crab indie game lol.
