That have been released in the west, is I hope what you mean. Cause otome games have been around for a while longer than the PSP's existence.

no i mean in japan, last time i was at yodobashi camera which was in 2016 the psp section was bigger than the xbox sections and it was all otome. obviously it’s not a psp exclusive genre and has been along for a long time but it’s extremely fascinating to me that the psp has lived on as an otome machine

PlayStation's handhelds have both had some weird-rear end life cycles that ended with them being must-have hardware for various games of relatively niche appeal.

It is strange that arguably the best games in the Killzone franchise were both released for the handhelds.

its definitely super huge on psp (or well, was, i think that era finally died) but it kinda makes sense. portable, so you can read it on the train, cheap, etc. i imagine with the switch lite that the switch will take over that role, you can already see a lot of otome games being ported to it.

wow in Japan the old Japanese handheld outperformed the US console with no exclusives in a generation? frightening to think

you really don’t see what’s interesting about a 12 year old console living on to exclusively cater to a very specific audience? wouldn’t you find it interesting if you found out that physical games were still being released for the xbox 360 and they were all point and click adventures or something?

I mean I think it's a good thing, but primarily because hardware capable of playing on after all these years seems like a perfectly normal thing to keep using, especially if the games don't require real-time VR level graphics? In contrast my Xbox One hasn't been turned on in years because gently caress-all was released for it and the exclusives all kinda sucked, to be honest. I use the PS4, Switch and PC - I only even remember I bought that Xbox One in times like this as the dumbest purchase I made in that generation. Whereas my sister had a PSP and only stopped using it a few years ago when I gave her a Vita as present.

Kat for some reason decided she needed to talk about how 'detransition videos' (a 'genre' full of fake rear end poo poo that's designed to push the TERFy 'the transes force tomboys and effeminate boys onto blockers and transition therapy' lies) have a good point and how indeed young trans people ARE 'pushed' to transition, so a lot of other trans people are going 'what the gently caress when do you think that happens' because, ya know, it's a lie.

I mean it is a discussion thread, sometimes there are things worth discussing by meeting the other person part or half way even if you think most of the criticisms are off base.

On the other hand, not challenging incorrect opinions to some degree also grants to people to post negative criticisms in such a way that fans of the thing being criticized might feel like they are alone when no one else speaks up; by speaking up you encourage others to also speak up. If anything people should take every opportunity to fill their discussion spaces with positivity and friendship.
