way worse when it's a fucking banger of a love story but they're middle schoolers for some goddamn reason

The guys be like, "I play Yakuza for the gritty depiction of organized crime", and then spend 12 hours giving women makeovers in the cabaret club minigame.

Everything I hear about the Yakuza games make me want to play them.

I am 51 now but in 2018, while still in my forties, I had to have multiple major emergency heart surgeries. I was hospitalized for a week and bed ridden for about a month altogether. During that time, all I had for entertainment was my PS Vita. I decided to buy and play Persona 4 Golden blind and I spent those weeks drifting in and out of consciousness while making friends, fighting monsters and hanging out with high school students in that make believe world instead of focusing on my near death experience or the possibility of financial ruin thanks to medical bills.

I will never judge anybody that is moved by or comforted by things like anime or JRPGs. I get it.

my personal rule is that, now that i'm an adult, i will generally not watch or read anything where the main characters are high schoolers. it has served me well

I highly recommend Yakuza 0. It's an origin story prequel for the series and personally I think it has by far the best storyline. It also has the caberet club minigame!

The Picard Maneuver

I think I might have that one!

Any particular reason why?

my experience has been that those kinds of shows are more likely to have characters that behave like high schoolers. more drama, impulsiveness, etc. i also find it frustrating when i’m watching a show and the characters do things that, in my opinion, don’t make any sense. i also don’t enjoy it much when the major plot points are about high school relationships.

i’m sure there are many shows that don’t fit into this characterization i’ve described, but my experience has been that they tend to be the exception rather than the norm. and there are only so many shows in the world that i will have time to watch. i’m not trying to say that shows about high schoolers are objectively bad either, just that they aren’t for me, in this stage of my life.

Seems like stories like that may make them feel uncomfortable. Probably a personal reason.

bokuyaba/the dangers in my heart

it's a brilliantly written coming of age romance that wouldn't have lost a damn thing by just aging the characters up a couple years

Can they, for once, be college students or maybe high-school seniors?

I mean, you do you. I enjoy watching them.

This is one of the reasons I liked Aggretsuko as much as I did. She was out of college and starting her career at a company which is still younger than me but at least its MORE relatable.
