Unfortunate that SE had to be the company that discovered Stated vs Revealed Preferences for the "I want x with y for z meme".
With this golden age over, it's now time for them to do the best possible thing post VII Part 3: 2 Fabula 2 Nova (features 13-4, XV Nomura's Cut, and a random Tabata game)

Thank you, so, so fucking much. I'm doing the working holiday next year and this is an incredible all in one guide that I'm 100% gonna be referring to. Already put some important notes in my mega document

Also fasincating to see this in motorsport. iirc over half of all Formula 1 races where every car has finished has been in the last 5 years. Same with the yearly retirement % at the 24 Hours of Le Mans - way down from even 30 years ago.

Umineko needs a hidden path which just turns into The Count of Monte Cristo, using dialogue from the novel and everything. Might be the only way to get the gamers into literature

Another fantastic example of "internet narrative" taking over traditional narrative and cutting facts - youtubers pushing Earthbound as this "cult classic". It sold absolute shit in the West! It was too small to even start a cult!

AI is a bubble - I think parts of it are, but if you only consume doomer content about it, you'll overestimate + want it to be
Japan hates foreigners - found a club on Resident Advisor in 5 mins that lets foreigners in for free
the UK is a hellhole - there are issues, but no, not THAT bad

I do enjoy New Vegas, but I agree - it's unique, but you really can't play it like a traditional RPG a la Elder Scrolls (which is far more possible with 3 and especially 4). I will say I actually prefer 3's side quests to 4's and its setting too, although I still like 4 a lot

Agreed. I realised Fallout 4 was actually good when I realised quite early on you simply cannot play it like its New Vegas, and enjoyed it a LOT for what it was. Outside of that, Witcher 3 and Dirt Rally my top 3.

Yeah I fucking hate it, as one of the younger (lol just turned 30) people still using text base financial social media I'm mindblown how negative it is even in America (more understandable over here). Housing is a huge issue but I really think social media lifestyle creep is deluding people

Can (unfortunately) also be applied to politics to. Was having a chat with parents the other day about how the poll tax riots basically brought Thatcher down. Can't even imagine people rioting about taxation in the modern politics as culture war age

As a Gen Zer I must admit the first time I ever heard this song was on Guitar Hero 2. It's early on in the setlist, and it's a (pretty good actually!) cover.
Was blown away by the mystical lyricism and stunningly beautiful piano/guitar lines, have loved it ever since.

For my side stuff (Japanese value investing analysis because I am certifiably insane) I find Perplexity Pro seems to be the best LLM at analysing both macro conditions and companies themselves
Claude to me seems to be much tougher to prompt - I've gotten similar mistakes to this as well.

Feels like the strength of the market in general is worse the more I feel like I have to say bounces are due to retail degens because I can't see any other potential reasons at all

The one DJ who I respect for never veering away from trance music even when loads of others jumped ship (Armin van Buuren) got paid six figures a night to DJ at Vegas and said on a podcast its the most depressing place he's played at

youth unemployment is seriously worrying to me and especially over here in the UK where it keeps ticking up. We're approaching 1 million NEETS for the first time in a while and a lot are becoming long term in their 20s

Yes, signaling is an excellent word to use here. Even saw Marx' Blank Space referenced earlier today and I think that's tackling the pop culture question.
Subcultureaesthetics have always been a thing, but now it happens so fast and is global that it can't really go anywhere else after this

I don't think it's homogenization, but maybe flattening is a more accurate term? Have been thinking about this with regards to many other things surrounding pop culture, travel preferences, "overtourism" etc
