I think the fact that I used to play fighting games with 1 or 2 specific people during adolescence / early adulthood did something, because it remains one of my primary motivators for playing these games today. A consistent sparring partner can do so much more for the experience than ranked grind.

admittedly though, Bleach is notable for one VERY important thing: it is the reason why Hatsune Miku likes leeks

"Why is the floor lava"
"That's DAMAGE you're standing on. Go up ‼️Just Air Step! Get engaged with Rising Spiral! Live a little!"

god the "damage floor" complaint is so funny. people who consider themselves to be good at video games roll up to the hardest mode in an action-RPG and then complain that it expects them to participate in the action and the RPG. you're a grown-ass man, cook with the fucking rat

I think in those cases it's important how you articulate your thoughts, like being fair about a scene or the interpretation you're getting from it. Maybe sprinkle in a disclaimer once in a while so people won't misconstrue you as a Super Fan With 2000 Hours of Playtime or something. lol

I've said it before and I'll say it again: any and all real money to random reward pipelines should be legislated as gambling, be it digital or physical. Strictly restricted to adults only, strict restrictions in terms of how and where they can be marketed, etc. A serious pushback is needed ASAP.
