I don’t know how much the rest of you know about Japanese geography, but John’s an expert.

Should be very interesting coverage, I’m sure John will love the game overall and have a lot of insight, but I’m also expecting a lot of ultra-nitpicking (“Tokyo Tower is depicted in the game as 3 blocks away from Akihabara but it’s ackshually 6 blocks away”).
Also some quick analysis of FF7 Remake on Xbox. Series X version is exactly the same as PS5. Series S is somewhere between PS4 and PS5, but consistently looks better than Switch 2 which for some reason Oliver sounds genuinely surprised over.
There is nothing more cringe-worthy than fat white men speaking japanese. (Sorry fat white guys who speak japanese)
Not a fan of John but that seems a little bit nasty

Don’t think there was any real need to bring one’s colour into it, never mind their weight.
As a non-fat white guy who studied Japanese for his degree (the language and the culture; just one of the languages I studied), I couldn’t agree more! There’s nothing more cringe than otaku gaijin, pretty sure John’s picture is in the dictionary for gaijin…
Lol, fellow skinny white guy who studied Japanese reporting in.
Though only for one semester as an elective.
Sometimes when it comes to weaboo cringe, it takes one to know one. ![]()
I am a fat white guy. So I reserve my right to shit on all fat white guys for anything I deem shitable.
And to be clear, there is nothing wrong with studying and respecting other cultures, it is admirable and encouraged.
Pretending that you are part of that culture because you went there is something else entirely. Add that on top of being a generally unbearable…its a pretty gross cocktail.
Precisely, and I didn’t take it as any other way; most of us who study in college knew the type of people you’re referring to, and they never made it.

Have no issues with you calling John out just don’t get why you need to bring someone skin colour into the debate. I doubt very much you’ll be saying the same if John was black.
I don’t give two shits about what you think about much of anything.

Good

Back to Series they go.
Curiously?
It has far more memory bandwidth, faster storage, and a drastically superior CPU…
Mind you, this will have a better chance to optimize Rebirth than Switch 2.
The more I’ve worked as a software engineer… the more I’ve reaffirmed my assessment that these clowns have absolutely no clue what they’re talking about.
They’re also the same people that complain about Xbox content not being popular… which is like Fox News complaining that leftists don’t like the drivel they’re selling. Also the same group that laments console wars and plays victim at every chance… whilst literally fomenting console wars and having document history of being biased af in socials, etc.
