The Brazilian gaming scene seems so weird. Most people grew up with a bootleg Sega Genesis, they unironically have nostalgia for the Zeebo and it seems every obscure fighting game is being kept alive solely because of some autist in a favela.
And yet, they have no games. Kind of odd, honestly.
bunda
I grew up with browser games, Xbox 360 and 3ds game. Anyway, thanks for reading my blog post.
I don't remember asking
100% accurate assessment except for the parts about sega genesis and zeebo and obscure fighting games
are brazillians up to the 360 yet? i only really see them populating gta iv 360 and such
we're up to the ps4 lmao, it's the most sold console here
the PS5 costs a lung and a liver, and most people have toaster ovens for computers, or as we like to call them, pc da xuxa, picrel
Peruvian here, come and fight me prick! Your people keep ruining my cs 2 matches and I won't let that happen anymore so name a place and date and prepare to get beaten up. Also that Xuxa laptop looks kino, always wanted one of those toy laptops as a kid (the max steel ones you pricks I am not gay).
Peruvians are the worst, most moronic players in every fricking game they populate. Not even Cubans are as bad as fricking Peruvians and those guys haven't had Internet until a couple years ago.

What a disingenuous image. Digital downloads don't even pay tax.
It's video game consoles, not games
Got some stuff wrong anon, the bootleg consoles were based on the nes, not the genesis, sega was the first console manufacturer to come to Brasil, first with the Master system and then the Genesis, Nintendo only came to Brasil once the snes released. I have never seen anyone with nostalgia over the zeebo here. Last one is true. We do in fact have games but only indie games really, here are some of them
>Chroma Squad
>Dandara
>Odallus
>Oniken
>Celeste's art was made by a brazilian studio
>Momodora
>Knights of pen and paper
>Dandy Ace
>Momodora
Based, loved beating a boss by slapping her giant breasts
forgot Bug Fables
You forgot Horizon Chase which is based on the Top Gear game for the SNES/Genesis and one of the games most Brazilians have nostalgia for
also spark is made by a brazillian
Odallus is Brazillian? That's neat
>half of these are weeb-inspired
why br are weeb?
The holy trinity of Brazilian pop culture is:
>90s battle shounen (DBZ, Saint Seiya, etc)
>soccer
>Chespirito
Plus we got the most Japanese immigrants in the world.
>Chespirito
Chaves. Chesperito wasn't that big.
El Chavo + Chapulín, really.
>Plus we got the most Japanese immigrants in the world.
Thought that was bs but apparently you guys beat out the US by just a couple mil
huh
what regions do they most occupy? Is it like the german groups that are primarily in the south or are japanese immigrants more spread out?
São Paulo has a japanese neighborhood with actual japanese houses, japanese restaurants, japanese street decoration, basically indistinguishable from your average anime scenario
Look up "bairro liberdade"
>what regions do they most occupy?
I am aware of their presence in the southeast and north regions. Not sure about the rest.
Add the fact that São Paulo is the biggest city of the country and it's the largest economy in all LATAM so they're very influential to the rest of the country and even brazilian culture as well.
And it goes both ways with how japanese descendants go back to japan since the 70s~80s and having influence over there.
>Posting the morom that constantly moral posturing over every Brazilian video game character stereotypes and how the wacky Japanese shouldn't include "offensive" portrayals.
Some guy I know shared this to me and this guy just complains all the time, even in anime with stuff regarding dekasegi. He even complained how Jetstream Sam uses Capoeira and how he was "almost perfect" before he knew that he used that style in his moves. One of the biggest joyless homosexuals I've ever had the displeasure of watching. I hate youtubers.
>Check this guy's channel
>See this
Yeah I'm good, no need for me to watch this guy.
What's wrong? Those videos are amazing.
>he lacks critical information
We got anime way back in the 60s
Also Japanese immigrants brought a lot of Japanese stuff to our culture.
Japanese "culture" has not existed since 1948. modern fake gay japan is not real Japanese culture.
Our Japanese immigrants came way back in early 1900s.
brazil was big with the toku shit too, just look for openings on youtube and you will see a bunch of brazilian uploaders.
"Virado no Jiraya" ("like Jiraya") is a common expression over here.
Winspector too.
for me, its Black RX, /m/ can suck my dick.
for me is Sharivan
Raio Solar!
SHINE!
fun fact: Jiraya's actor has relatives in brapzil and comes here from time to time
try playing pic related. It was for less than 1 real until 2023 when the game prices got up
You just blew my mind anon, I'm Brazilian and had no idea those games came from here.
>No mention of agar.io
Made by a fricking baiano IIRC. God bless him.
I believe the guy who made spark the electric jester 3 was a Brazilian
>Most people grew up with a bootleg Sega Genesis
false

false
Frick off, dumb gringo.
>Wall of lies
I played fighting games on the arcade, gambling my life against gang leaders whom lest I defeated, would become enraged and thus end myself
Bullshit. No one even remembers the fricking Zeebo. It's a meme. Most people had a Genesis or a SNES in the 90's, poorgays had a Dynavision (bootleg NES) or no videogames at all. The only weird thing about Brazil is how TopGear became a hit here, and the Peruvian bootleg International Super Star Soccer on SNES with Brazilian teams. We also had access to a lot of Japanese games, I remember renting Mickey and Donald 3 for SNES, that game was also the shit at the time.
>Mickey and Donald 3 for SNES
Oh yeah, that game was nice.
I wonder if that’s why there’s always some many Portuguese language comments on Bomberman osts on YouTube. You occasionally get some Japanese and English comments too, but at least half are always Portuguese.
I wonder if Brazilians had access to Super Bomberman 3-5 somehow. Was Bomberman fairly popular there in the 90’s?
>I wonder if Brazilians had access to Super Bomberman 3-5 somehow
We did. 5 is absolute Kino. One of my favorite games from this era.
Yeah. Not a 90’s kid and not Brazilian, but I played all the Super Bomberman games online when Flash was still a thing, and they were all great. I personally liked 2 the most, but each game had its own uniqueness that made them fun.
5’s music was quite unique. I hated the stupid dog who was the first boss of the game. What made Hudson think to make the first boss fight so hard. Especially with the freaking mines.
The dog was kino. Everyone hating on it was part of the fun. Kids would get together and strategize a way to kill him, I can still listen to the soundtrack, that bgm that sounded like a whistle. I know it plays in every boss fight, but it's definetly "dog's theme" lol.
2 was peak. Shame that 5 didn't bring back the Dastardly Bombers. 5 was the best for multiplayer, though.
Bomberman was the shit, it was popular since NES here. It's perfect for multiplayer.
Japanese and Chinese exclusive retro games were awfully popular here, yeah. Having access to the real console was a luxury so most kids grew up with bootleg consoles and emulation. Like, my childhood NES games aren't even Mario or Zelda but Field Combat, Battle City, Legend of Cage, Circus Charlie, etc. You'll notice that some of them pop up in 1000 in 1 type bootlegs a lot.
My friend at my university, a bit older than I am, played the shit out of Bomberman when he was younger. In the last days of classes in the end of 2023 we played 4-player Bomberman 1 and 4. So I guess it is popular.
Guys, I want to know. I was looking at Brasil's copyright law recently, because I was wondering if Emulators are legal here. Didn't find anything that would rule them out, but creating a personal copy of a game technically would be in violation of Copyright Law, since the law states only "small parts" of a work (they make an exception to plastic arts, but not computer software) can be copied. Can anyone who has some knowledge about the matter confirm what I'm saying?
Yeah OP don't know what he is talking about, was a pretty normal gaming scene, except for a smaller adoption of RPGs or any complicated games because of the language barrier, nobody cares or cared for the Zeebo israeli scam console at the time.
We had generic NES consoles, and a pretty good translated gaming library for the SEGA/TecToy partnership, i don't know what this gay getting this from, but the government being a troll, everybody is politically moron and illiterate, left and right, and overtaxing is true though.
I still have my Dynavision stashed somewhere in my parents house.

I remember that my games on Xbox 360 weren't too expensive when they were pirated; they cost like 15 reais, (about 3 dollars).
As a kid I didn't know cartridges where only suppose to have 1 game until Pokemon came about. I don't think my parents realized it either since they would often ask me "how many games does this one have"
>zumba rush
then how come i play AAA and VR videojuegos, and hate the people you're describing?
most likely because your parents never gave you any love
>bootleg sega genesis
Wrong, we had tons of bootleg nes, master system and mega drive were official.
>Most people grew up with a bootleg Sega Genesis, they unironically have nostalgia for the Zeebo
no?
who cares about old people and their videogames
brazilians on the internet can only talk what they're renting on shitpass and their series s. They sure as hell don't have a PS5 or series x, bootleg s for brazil paying rent is so funny.
>buying a PS5 for 5x the price, while paying 100% tax on games
Only morons have a console in Brazil. I know you wont believe me, but a PC is actually less expensive in the long run here.
you didn't deny renting games btw.
>not pirating
u r moron
lol I have a PS5, Rog Ally and a GTX 4060, get fricked amerigay
Then you're the top 0.01%, moronado.
Lol no I'm upper middle class and everyone I know has a top tier console or PC. It's more like top 10%.
Don't tell me you're not among the top 10% of fricking Brazil, anão.
12k+ for a gpu is not "top 10%" moron, you have rich friends, congrats.
Try to be realistic instead of bullshiting if you wanna make a actual argument.
>12k+ for a GPU
A 6750xt goes for R$2500 and runs every new release on 1440p60fps, and will do so for a long time.
yeah, I use a 3060, not saying we don't have decent PCs here, but using 4090 as a standard is fricking stupid.
Anyone making like 3k+ a month can have a decent pc in a few months.
>1440p60fps
yeah on low.
if you want at least high, don't even try
You are a moron if you think the 6750xt can't 1440p60fps on high. It can do that very comfortably in every game released so far except possibly Alan Wake 2 where you'd need to go 1080p and upscale to 1440p with FSR
>yeah on low.
exactly. People seem to misrepresent how fricking unoptimized modern games are
>he has a console
>didn`t build his own pc to play literally any game that exists
>And yet, they have no games
A majority of countries don't.
It's really just the US, Japan, and Korea. China only recently joined the scene, and Russia only has a handful of games.
You can count the rest of the world's meaningful video game contributions on one hand.
Isn’t Ubisoft mainly french/canadian?
Most countries don't have actual gaming industry to make AAA games, only indies. Some have niche games in witch they are a success like Sweden and map strategy or Germany and adventures. Brazilians try a lot of different indie games, but are mostly on the 2d plat former now.
Growing up with gaming in Brazil in the 90's was the best thing I could ever hope for imo. I got to experience old consoles growing up like my dad's old Atari 2600 and pretty much everything inbetween all the way up to the PS1/n64(then I moved to PC). I got to experience old arcade machines in the neighbourhood bars. I got to experience the cool arcades in the shopping malls. I got to experience renting video games and later going to the renting stores to play on their consoles with friends and randoms kids playing multiplayer games. Widespread piracy allowed us to play hundreds of games for cheap. I got to experience the whole Lan House fever, playing Counter Strike, Warcraft 3, Mu Online and other mmorpgs all day and sometimes even overnights with all the kids in the neighbourhood, everybody referring to each other by their cool nicknames and shit, man do I miss Lan Houses.
After that I don't think our experience differs much from other countries. Sure the favela kids are probably still playing some crappy PS2 gta mods but most of the middle class are playing all the current games on steam, mobile and a small portion on the overpriced af consoles.
Wasn’t crazy bus made in Brazil or some other brownoid dystopia? That deserves a mention for the god tier OST alone.
you're wrong about everything including your stupid inference that because someone plays videogames they have the capacity to make (good) videogames themselves.
what do you expect of a country where the general IQ is less than 83 and even Chimpanzees are smarter than them?
but enough about the US
Strange way of saying northeast brazil
no one after the 90's remembers sega, they all played the ps2, ps3 and xbox 360
>most people grew up with a bootleg Sega Genesis
Not bootleg, it was called the Mega Drive, same as in Japan. Poor kids had it while the rich kids had the SNES.
>they unironically have nostalgia for the Zeebo
No one cared for the Zeebo when it released and always treated it as a meme, moron. You’re full of shit
>seems every obscure fighting game is being kept alive solely because of some autist in a favela
Kindof, again it was a rich kids VS poor kids dynamic. Poor kids only played The King of Fighters and Fatal Fury because at the arcade because they were cheaper than the Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat machines.
well now I learned I was a rich kid cuz I grew up with SNES and Street Fighter
>King of Fighters
Yeah my wife grew up poor in Rio and that's her favourite game, had never heard of that shit until she showed me
The frick are you talking about?
People had bootleg nes/snes consoles. Not Genesis.
Brazilians grew up with the Playstation 2. It is the most quintessential country-defining console experience by far, still present even today.
A significant number of Brazilians also had Nintendo consoles.
Back in the 2010s it was common to see the Xbox 360. Not so much nowadays.
Brazil also has significant presence in the secondary MMO market. Tibia, Ragnarok, Grand Chase, Lunia, Perfect World, Mu Online, the list goes on. Brazil had immense population in all these games and some of them still host Brazilian servers to this day.
why is the image expanding the longer you look at it
Expanding Earth is real.
>they unironically have nostalgia for the Zeebo
By the time zeebo was out, people were already playing with 360s, Wiis and, if you were rich, a ps3. So obviously no one cared about a console that only plays fricking mobile games.
Zeebo was so fricking moronic, I really wonder what kind of person bought it. It was more expensive than PS2, for frick's sake.
lula literally saved by brazil we are not even that poor anymore
>92% import tax
Thank you, Mr. Squid.
smartest bolsominion
Is it true that a PS5 costs up to a 1000 bucks there? Never seen such inflated prices anywhere else
$750-800 nowadays. It's still fricked up
lol might as well get a PC then. th eonly purpose of a console is to be cheap
That's what the thinking man does. Poorgays just buy used PS4s
No idea mate, look it up. Shouldn't be too hard if you are first degree.
>That's what the thinking man does. Poorgays just buy used PS4s
I mean a cheap PC plays all PS4 and PS5 games so any PS post-PS3 is redundant. modern consoles are useless, specially now that hacking them is impossible.
PS4/PS5 can be hacked, but our used market for these consoles is also big. People basically trade games or sell when they beat them. There's even shared accounts schemes.
I heard the shared account stuff. you have to be on the latest firmware right? can't do it if you're stuck on 9.60?
Pretty sure you have to be on the latest, yes.
yeah, even poorgays have been doing poorgay builds for a few years now, a popular one is to to buy stuff from Aliexpress, like Xeon CPUs and mining RX 580 lol
>Xeon CPUs
fricking meme. an i5/Ryzen 5 is enough for gaming. a newer i5/Ryzen 5 is better than any used Xeons and more efficient
>RX 580
isn't that REALLY old? like playing games on ultra-low settings? minimum I'd recommend is 3060 or 6700XT
A Xeon and 580 will run every single game worth playing at medium 1080p
>medium
lol what's even the point? the whole point of playing modern games is to look at shiny graphics. the have no other purpose. if you can't play gameson high-ultra, why even bother playing anything past 2013?
You must be 18 years or older to post here
can't say I'm wrong though. what purpose does RDR2 if it isn't the graphics?
if I wanted to play video games for "fun", I'd take out my SNES and play some SNES games. modern games aren't for having fun, they're for looking at shiny graphics or shitty competitive matchmaking
>fricking meme
Look up how cheap they are bro, they are Ryzen 2600 tier for $10-20. The Ryzen were viable too, but after "Remessa Conforme" anything costing more than $50 is taxed at 92%.
>isn't that REALLY old? like playing games on ultra-low settings? minimum I'd recommend is 3060 or 6700XT
It's 1060 tier. Plays games at 1080p low-medium. These cards you mentioned are expensive as frick here.
>inb4 used market
They are 80-90% the original price lmao
>It's 1060 tier. Plays games at 1080p low-medium
just pick a different hobby at this point. I can't imagine being insulted this badly as a gamer.
I was playing GTA SA at 640x480 low 15-20fps back in the day and was happy.
>>inb4 used market
>They are 80-90% the original price lmao
I have seen used shit being sold for more money than brand-new. Every thing I ever sold used was at most half of the price of what a brand new unit would be and even then I still thought it was too much.
They are more efficient than Xeons but have you seen how cheap they are? It's worth it for a poorgay build where every penny maters. For you the difference will be just a few dollars, but here it'll be like 1/10 of a minimum wage.
if you're a poorgay why even bother with an ultra-expensive hobby like gaming? I'm not rich but I don't try and buy a fricking McLaren when I know I can't afford one.
best thing to do as a poorgay is to live a minimalist lifestyle. I'm not even a poorgay and that's what I'm trying to do
>if you're a poorgay why even bother with an ultra-expensive hobby like gaming?
Gaming is one of the cheapest hobbies ever. You think poorgays are paying for games?
no it isn't

gaming isn't even a hobby. it's mindless consumption.
nah, building a PC is not THAT expensive.
morons will just buy a notebook with a XX50 and play with no problem for atleast 5 years, and most will be playing CS or LoL on their decades old notebook/desktop.
>$5-$10 for a book with no devices required
Most people download books, no one buys them let's be real.
>like $5 for headphones
Enjoy your hearing damage because you bought some cheap headphones
>as expensive as you want it to be. can DIY and make much cheaper food than outside
>$5000 just to play games on decent enough hardware
>another $70 for the games
Okay? You know you can not buy expensive games and just download all of them? You know you can make a poorgay build that'll last you for 5 years if you don't care about the latest games?
>it's mindless consumption.
It's as mindless as literature.
>You know you can make a poorgay build that'll last you for 5 years if you don't care about the latest games?
but people play modern games to look at shiny graphics. they have no other purpose other than shiny graphics. poorgay builds only play games on low or medium settings.
>but people play modern games to look at shiny graphics.
Palworld, Fortnite, Lethal Company are the opposite of AAA shiny graphics.
>competitive matchmaking slop
it's either shiny graphics or competitive matchmaking slop. nobody plays for "fun" anymore
>Palworld
>Lethal Company
>competitive matchmaking
Okay.
>literature
mindless consumption is not a hobby, academic books are often expensive
>music
mindless consumption is not a hobby, instruments are expensive
>painting
useless skill, unless you are really serious about it then it becomes expensive
>cooking
woman tier hobby, you are just following instructions
still better than spending $5000 just play games on ultra at 4K at 60fps
only morons waste $5000 on a vidya machine
too bad anything lower means playing on low
wrong
Because they want to play games. It's not that hard to understand.
Still not negligible. But they can afford local prices just fine so no need to settle for extreme poorgay builds like that. Imports are still much cheaper, however. People still used to buy CPUs like midrange Ryzen from Aliexpress before they implemented the new tax since it would be 30-40% cheaper than national prices.
>if you're a poorgay why even bother with an ultra-expensive hobby like gaming?
it's not expensive, specially if you pirate
>I'm not rich but I don't try and buy a fricking McLaren when I know I can't afford one.
If you really liked cars you'd still buy a beater. If you liked F1, you'd still do kart races. Sounds like you just don't like gaming that much.
I mean I can't really race or do fancy shit on a beater like I could on a McLaren. kind of like a nongaming PC vs a gaming PC.
>Sounds like you just don't like gaming that much
true. haven't games since 2011. don't have time for it and I'm too old to be a gamer anyway. imagine having gaming as a main hobby past 15
Then get the frick out, homosexual. No wonder Ganker is such a pile of shit if it's full of bitter morons like you.
>I mean I can't really race or do fancy shit on a beater like I could on a McLaren.
skill problem
most people with a mclaren don't even race, while morons with beaters often get much more fun out of their shitboxes
same with cheap vs expensive gaming PCs

No one is nostalgic for fricking Zeebo. Most people don't even know it was a thing. The Master System wasn't bootleg either, it's licensed and somehow TecToy is still making it.

Except that every "Master System" since 2007 is just an AtGames system on a chip emulating the games.

Nobody here even knows what that is anymore, the only people who remember it are millenials who watched they been given as prizes in call shows for children.
If you mean Bom Dia & Cia, I don't think they ever had Zeebo, just Dynavision and Playstations
They hade Zeebos around 2008-9
I really don't remember it lol
I still remember when they jumped from a Dynavision (4?) to Dynavision Xtreme da Dynacom™, then introduced PS2.

>marco legal dos games just got approved

did they ban bully again
These bans were kinda funny since at least 90% of the sales at the time came from the bootleg market, so they never affected anyone.
It meant that you couldn't buy it on steam for a while, of course that didn't stop anyone since it was an easy bypass by changing the steam locale.
Was Bully even on Steam at the time? Anyway, Steam wasn't that big back then so it didn't really affect anyone.
The ban lasted all the way to 2016, where you couldn't buy it through the brazillian steam store. I have no idea why it lasted that long but it did.

>PC gaming got popular here because a steam game would cost half of a digitally bought PSN or Xbox Live game as those count as gambling games or something
>Witcher 3, for example, launched costing 90 dilmas at the time, which was considered cheap as af
>nowadays a digital PC game costs as much as a digital (and even physical) PS5 game (looking at you, Tekken)
Does that mean console games are going to get cheap altogether? I don't really think so, PC games are counted as "software goods" and look at their prices.
that's all because of the devaluation of the real compared to the dollar
economy just wasn't as fricked in 2015
Don't forget that console games are still being imported everywhere. If you look at official stores they cost much more.
Look at Tekken 8 for example, on Steam it costs R$269,90 but on Playstation Store it costs R$349,90.
Chances are they will get even cheaper since importers will finally have to compete with official channels lmao
R$90 is R$174,80 when you correct for inflation. And that's not even taking dollar in account. Our currency just went to shit.
*R$90 in 05/2015. Dollar was around R$3,05 at the time. Now it's at R$4,97. Do the math.
>nowadays a digital PC game costs as much as a digital (and even physical) PS5 game
No, it is still cheaper. Even new releases. Just not as cheap as back then.
It was cheaper back when Steam did regional pricing, nowadays not so much. Most publishers have updated their prices to be a 1:1 USD-BRL conversion, new games cost 350BRL. See Yakuza 8 or P3 Reload.
They still do, our economy is just fricked.

Are they simply not aware that this is almost a third of our minimum wage?
If you own a PS5 then chances are you can afford it.
>third of our minimum wage?
Every time I see this type of israeli price gouging, I just hope they get 0 sales and are forced to do a discount.,
It's not "most publishers". Dragon's Dogma 2 is cheaper, Elden Ring DLC is significantly cheaper.
it's shit but selling a $60 game for R$100 when the dollar is literally R$5 is them just losing money so don't know why you guys still get surprised at them fixing that.
>losing money
*not profiting enough
And I still doubt it. There's a reason a lot of companies didn't bother updating their prices after Steam raised the minimum recommended. Check Steamdb. I'm still mad Warner did it the day I was going to buy Batman Arkham Asylum and I just pirated the entire franchise out of spite.
>(looking at you, Tekken)
publishers/devs can charge whatever the frick they want, they usually would just follow whatever steam recommended for the regions but a lot of them simply don't I remember MK and Bethesda games always being expensive as frick even on steam.
Man, imagine a timeline where Nintendo did their own version of Steam but for console back in 2007. Imagine having regional prices for bing bing wahoo and retro games. It really sucks how many companies don't see the value of regional prices.
japenese are the ones who usually don't give a frick about it. They also charge a frickload if you want to use any intellectual property.

why would they see value in selling at loss?
It's digital media. Selling at loss is better than not selling at all.
why would they sell at a loss if it will still sell to the class A, B and C kids?

what's your cpu
Im not at home right now to check exact model, but I think it is an i-5 10400
lol that's good enough. They are asking for a higher clocked version of that CPU, probably because it's the only one they had at the office at the time for validate. Remember this game has to run on a PS5 which has a gimped Zen 2 CPU, which is worse than a 3600 in practice.
they should have a 50000% tax to keep all brazilian monkeys out of gaming
imagine being brazilian and forcing yourself to going all over the internet trying to make people notice your country exists by slapping its ironic as frick flag everywhere
every people in every country does that, moron.
specially the ones from balkans and middle east.
yes it is because Nintendo only started translating games into portuguese in 2021.
also tectoy was the responsible for bringing the mega drive and genesis into brazil and still continuing to exist this day. just check out this map and see I am not lying. definetly the only country where sonic is big.
source: I am argentinian
>Russian-Ukranian War is the first war between Sonicgays
>Middle East loves Sonic
The world surprises me each day.
shocked united states isn't sonic gays, i swear every weird sonic frick comes from here
We can do that since we are one of the few not completly irrelevant countries that dont use gay-ass stripes as a flag
I'll never miss a chance to talk about my country. Despite all its flaws, I love living here.
Is it true that Sonic is still a big deal in Brazil?
The SEGA consoles were favored by poor kids so most kids had more contact with Sonic than Mario/Nintendo games in general. Similarly, the Dreamcast at the time was way more popular than the 64. I guess Sonic is slightly more popular here than in the US like how some Shonen anime like Dragon Ball Z are more popular here.
>bootleg Sega Genesis
It wasn't bootleg
> have nostalgia for the Zeebo
I don't even know what that is. I'm pretty sure you are talking about another country
Don't forget they still keep ps2 soccer game alive by modding it to keep it with updated team rosters
They do? BR here and everything I buy digitally has zero tax, and the prices of AAA games physical and online are the same. Contrast to when I VPN myself into Canada to buy unavailable games, the canucks always put some tax on top of the price, those leaf loving homosexuals.

if you're too poor for vodya, why don't you pick a different hobby like literature?
every single hue bookstore company has entered bankruptcy
the average brazilian is moronic and never read a book after high school
>implying they read in high school
I bet most people look up summaries or watch the movie adaptation to do their essays.
Joke's on you, at the time I couldn't get my hands on the movie adaptation for "O Cortiço"
I used literature as an example
my point is why not pick a cheaper hobby instead of coping? I don't go to a Ferrari convention and whine and b***h that I can't afford a Ferrari
ah you are just moronic
Because if you like cars and can't afford a Ferrari you get a Fiat, moron. You don't buy a horse.
Everything is expensive here. So the best way to approach a hobby that's too expensive in this country would be "how can I pirate this?" instead of "which hobby should I switch to?". Except for musicmaking I guess. If you want to be a guitarist then you're fricked in every way
what's even the point of working if the paper you get doesn't get you to afford anything? might as well apply for welfare and become a NEET. the whole point of a job is to get paper to be able to feed a family and live a decent life
>might as well apply for welfare and become a NEET.
Sadly, this is not a thing here. All we have is a program that rewards you for being too much of a poorgay.
third world welfare barely gives you enough money to eat, it's just not viable
well neither does working, so what the point?
people that usually are on governament gibbs also work on the side
if mutt country weren't so fricked up, things here would cost a lot less tbqh
good one anon
you known the average moron would rather watch some netflix garbage
When I was too poor for videogames I just played older games. I assume this is also why slavs like shit like HoMM so much.
>if you're too poor for vidya, why don't you pick a different hobby like literature?
Now post a literature book and not a medical/veterinary one
compared to $5000 on a gaming rig as well as $1000 more for more hard drives to store those games as well as space for a desktop table.
I swear if I had money for a gaming rig i would've taken snowboarding as a hobby instead
moron
That's a textbook for academical study you moron
>if you're too poor for vodya, why don't you pick a different hobby like literature?
No one is too poor for vidya, people are just moronic.
Every gamer Brazilian with 2 neurons saved money for years until they could afford a great gaming PC. Then they enjoyed 10 years of gaming by pirating every game ever and only buying 1 or 2 games every year that have worthwhile online functions.
The problem is that the people with 2 neurons are only like 2% of the population. The other 98% are too stupid to figure out how to pirate something.
Literature: you can easily pirate any book ever, if it's an academic book you can get it for free from any university's library, but morons like
keep buying overpriced books.
you can't pirate books unless you count digital slop
>digital slop
Get a kindle and it's not slop anymore. It is functionally superior to books in every aspect.
>has an adjustable backlight in case you want to read it in the dark
>if you acquire the book legitimately (i.e. it's free because of public domain) there is a feature that shows what parts other readers have highlighted, thus turning your book in a multiplayer strain-like experience
>can change font, spacing and paragraphs to your taste
>Kindle
kindle is locked down nonfree (as in freedom) hardware that locks you into being amazon's b***h. it's only an option if you could crack it. and also it must read .pdf's
Who told you that? Only place I get my books from is libgen and not even once my kindle blocked any of those ebooks.
That's not how it works moron. Why would you be so opinative about something you are clueless about? Even if Kindle had a flaw there are 10000000 ink e-readers you can buy, jesus christ I fricking hate brazilians why do they haev to be SO FRICKING DUMBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

Pretty much.
Being Brazilian is fricking suffering.
I can't stand the price of things right now. I am thankful for having a well paying job but even I am starting to feel the effects of our shitty economy.
Also frick Haddad, that moron raised the import tax to 92%

What happened? Fazer o L was supposed to empower the lower classes but here we are with the elites jerking each other off harder than before.
I am right wing but frick you morons pretending the current government is doing worse than what the alternative would be (another 4 years of bolsonaro).
The new government is doing fine. The import tax did not actually raise prices if you know where to shop. I just bought a bunch of chinese stuff and I'm going to pay like 10% tax, and in turn it'll be delivered much faster than before.
You should use this opportunity to understand that if you keep supporting morons like Bolsonaro the rest of the population will stick to scummy thieves that are not as moronic, like Lula.
frick off, everything is more expensive then the pandemic years

Yes you did.
You, my monkey friend, similarly to all other monkeys in this country, is a moron who doesn't understand that we are undergoing several crises that require budgeting and reforms.
The work reform reduced workers' rights, but it was a necessary evil.
Pension reform: same shit.
Haddad's tax increases are, too, a necessary evil. You ignore that Bolsonaro himself raised taxes in the last year of his term because he KNEW it was necessary and, if he didn't do that, he could be liable for responsibility crimes.
Unfortunately you are so moronic that you can't even sit with the grown-ups and discuss this subject. It is a shame. I wish there was a way to enlighten people like you; bring light into darkness, allow you to understand why politicians sometimes make your situation momentarily worse to avoid having this shithole crash completely. But you will never understand. And it is fine. To me, it doesn't matter. I don't fret because my dog can't understand economics. So I won't fret because a monkey like you also can't understand it. Keep doing your thing and chimping out.
do tell me, why every solution to the fiscal problem is to raise taxes?
can you tell me a single instance of Lule cutting government costs and expeditures? Yes I know he slashed some education and health stuff, but not the actual government expenses

just a falseflag
>to pay like 10% tax,
he probably lives in europe.
>segment purchases into less than $50 to fall within Remessa
>only have to pay ICMS which is fairly low
>desembaraço starts electronically from the moment of purchase, which speeds it up greatly
it's that shrimple
ICMS alone is 17% and you can't avoid it lmao
Just a petista, ignore him.
the obvious happened.
the real shit he did is forcing ICMS at every purchase. you're forced to pay it even if your new item pass without being fricked by the customs.
Forcing ICMS at every purchase is incredibly based and healthy for the economy BTW
>[citation needed]
I wont deny that, but it's still fricking sucks when you find a game you want being sold at 30-35 bucks at some gringo store, and the ICMS make it cost more than it does at their digital store.
Don't worry, after the tax reform digital stores will also pay the same taxes as physical stores. :^)
Because the Executive Government already operates under optimal expenditure conditions. Yet we are still going bankrupt because of expenses that the president does not have the power to cut.
Let me give you an example. Look at the budget of the average public university. ~93% of it (yes that's the actual number) will be reserved for salaries, only 7% is up to their discretion.
And the worst part? Over 50% of these ~93% is for retired public workers.
These salaries are untouchable. They have constitutional immunity. It is practically impossible to solve this in the short term. With a large enough reform you could reduce the damage in the long term, but such reform is politically very hard to attain.
The politicians will eventually be forced to do such reform, but they will wait until the last second possible. Until then the government will raise taxes as much as possible because it is the easiest way to keep this shit afloat in the short term.
>Don't worry, after the tax reform digital stores will also pay the same taxes as physical stores. :^)
based Bonoro for breaking the country so much that now fricking everything else is the only way to try to fix it.
Actually, the tax reform is great. It is implementing the same logic under which 99% of the planet operates. It's just that Brazil has an extraordinarily moronic system, and Brazilians grew accustomed to it.
It is NOT normal that, depending on how you classify your product, you can pay more or less taxes. For example, Sonho de Valsa used to be a "bombom", now it's a "waffer" because "waffers" are taxed less. Surely you see how moronic this is.
Similarly, it is NOT normal that digital stores don't pay taxes just because our taxation law is so old that it didn't foresee digital stores being a thing. It is unfair for physical stores to pay taxes when their digital competitors are not paying any.
The tax reform will make everyone pay the same tax. It doesn't matter if you are physical or digital; if you sell car tires, waffers, games or beewax. Everyone will pay e.g. 25% in taxes, period. That's how it works in Europe.
This is going to be great for the economy, anon. You have no idea how many investors refrain from coming to Brazil because of our moronic tax law. Now we will be operating under the same rules as everywhere else in the world.
no him but 25% seems a lot. of course it s better than paying 40% on fricking new cars but I do feel like it could do more harm than good. It remains to be seen and I am all for it if it doesn't screw us over
Kim kataguri is a fricking backstabber and just like alckmin he will do anything to get into power
25% is not a lot, but it depends on the industry. You are probably used to lots of digital services that pay 0% like Uber, Netflix and Steam. In these cases yes, the 25% will hit like a truck.
But there are also many industries paying way more than 25%, like the car industry. For these you will see a price decrease.
but that is what i mean. like yeah some industries will take advantage of that but I do feel like we there will be more cons than pros, which is why i think 15% to 20% would have been better.
They can't choose an arbitrary number and run with it. They ran several simulations and looked for the number that would bring us to the same balance we have today. Meaning if you make it less than 25% we will be in a deficit, if you make it more than 25% the government will be turning in a profit which is not the point of the tax reform, it's not meant to decrease nor increase taxes, just change the way you pay them.
I love government "simulations"
>They ran several simulations
No offense to you but I don't trust them at all. You are talking about the guys who straight up bribe journalists and intellectuals to post favorable shit for them. I wouldn't trust the previous government "simulations" either
DO we even have access to those "simulations"?
These simulations are made by economic experts, universities and civil institutes. Anyone can get the data and make their own simulation, even you. With a simple Google you can find dozens of simulations. Most of them actually found that 25% is too little and will surely lead into a deficit, the prediction of most experts is that the actual IVA will be between 27% and 30%.
By the way we have been running said simulations ever since 1990 when they started discussing this tax reform.
>DO we even have access to those "simulations"?
Yes, the legislative process is public.
>You are talking about the guys who straight up bribe journalists and intellectuals to post favorable shit for them
Nothing wrong with that
>25% is not a lot
stopped reading there.
25% is a fricking lot yes, back in the old days we rioted because of quinto
Yet, it is less than what is currently paid, in every step of production, and built in every single product. You just dont know it 😉
>no one mentioning jailbroken PS2 Slim in this thread

Also, for some reason, Breath of Fire 4 is disproportionately known by brazillians.
Seethe and dilate, gadotroons, only more 72 hours.
>no one mentioning getting stuck at Icarus on God of War 2 because of your bootleg copy.
That only happened if your moronic bootlegger was dumb enough to burn the unpatched version. It's a DVD9 game with a lot of duplicated files for redundancy, but if they are removed it can fit on a regular DVD.
it WOULD be good for the economy, yes, if they dont end up keeping both systems at once
haha
you know they will do it
sounds kind of good but if the tax is more than 10% it'll be ubershit.
nta but it already is
and it wont even be 25% taxes, because we are fricked, it will be more because:
original price: 100 reais -> 25% -> 25 in taxes
new price: 125 reais
25% of 125: 31.25
new price: 131.25
25% of 131.25: 32.8
new price: 132.8
33% tax, if all the tax is transferred onto the customer, in this scenario
You are talking out of your ass. That is how it works for taxes calculated "por dentro". IVA will be calculated "por fora". I'm a taxation lawyer, trust me. Or Google this if you don't believe in me: "IVA por dentro ou por fora?"
Oh thank frick IVA is por fora
I thought it would be like the currently disgusting icms
>You are talking out of your ass. That is how it works for taxes calculated "por dentro". IVA will be calculated "por fora". I'm a taxation lawyer, trust me.
He's right. (I'm a lawyer too, unemployed, even. It fricking sucks ass)
>Actually, the tax reform is great. It is implementing the same logic under which 99% of the planet operates.
The biggest benefit is in simplifying the taxing system, which reduces time and money spent on accouting and overall bureaucracy.
>import tax to 92%
Wait what the frick? Do thirdies really? Does this also apply to business? Like if you need to import tools and machines for your factories you have to fricking pay double? Raw materials too? The cost of producing literally everything is just fricking doubled?
If you are a corporation there are toooons of tax benefits for importers. But if you are a consumer you are fricked
not quite business are able to pay less for it and a lot of them just straight up get merchandise trough contraband
however you can't import shit yourself without paying it. There used to be a law that charged less if your purchase was below 50 buck (shipping included) but i think they got rid of that. It is a shame, During the PS3 era I used to import a shitload of games. My entire PS3 library was from play asia other sites. It would take a few months for a game to arrive but at that price I had no problem waiting.
Gotta give those goverment gibs to the latin american tankies like Maduro. The population? Yeah, who gives a shit.
>latin american
>he doesn't ~~*know*~~
>Does this also apply to business? Like if you need to import tools and machines for your factories you have to fricking pay double? Raw materials too? The cost of producing literally everything is just fricking doubled?
The other anon is a moron. Yes, even businesses pay absurd amount of taxes, which in turn makes the end consumer take the hit. It's not uncommon to hear about very expensive machinery get stuck at customs because they simply can't pay up the moronic taxes.
Every company but the Friends of The King get taxed to hell and back. It's the reason gringo companies leave after a while when set up shop here (see Nintendo to keep it vidya related). Our mafia government acts adversarial to entrepreneurs. You're not allowed in the club.
I don't mind gov regulating corporations if the government was based and ultranationalist and has a strong local economy.
case in point: 30s Germany
>I don't mind gov regulating corporations if the government was based and ultranationalist and has a strong local economy.
taxation and other forms of protectionism only work if the government also invest in the local industrial complex. Brazil doens't do this. It would rather keep selling onions, chicken and meat in exchange for overly taxed Chinese and European goods. We, you and I pay for the agricultural complex while getting fricked in the ass by both them and the industrial complex.
I'm a taxation lawyer and most of my clients work with importation
No they don't pay as many taxes as you
moron
>the Friends of The King
This is not a thing. Take your pills.

So you don't know shit about taxation law, what the frick is your point? Brazil's economy schools are the worst ones in the world and it shows lmao
We all know you are lying, who give a shit.
Anon I am not lying. Every single importer ever gets tax cuts on a State level to compensate for the federal taxes. I am a lawyer and my bread and butter is lowering taxes of corporations. You can choose not to believe this, I don`t care, you're just another monkey chimping out, I'm merely giving you a chance to transcend ignorance at least in one subject.

>I'll never understand this meme,
unironically mutts think it's a bootleg because our Mega Drive didn't had the "Genesis" written on it.
>as a zoomer
You answered your own question moron. Mega Drive and SNES were popular in the early 90’s, mid 90s it was the PS1 and Dreamcast and only in the mid 2000s the PS2 absolutely dominated the market. I really only ever saw a GameCube and OG Xbox once at a LAN house.
>at least as a zoomer

Painful if you live in São Paulo as you basically can't go outside in peace, worrying about your life and/or your bank account. Some years ago there was this street full of crackheads, but for some reason the entire state is like that now
I live in the South. It's pretty comfy. Pretty similar to living in Europe, even the architecture. I'm a lawyer and every year I receive dozens of new clients that are Europeans want to move to Southern cities and set up restaurants with their country's culinary. I always try to convince the Brits to not do this because no one is interested in what they ""cook"", but alas.
I think Americans and other Euros should move to east europe instead of latin america. the 2nd world is just the 3rd world but with humans and attractive women
You are right in general. It's just that Brazil's three southern states are an exception to the rule. Their quality of life index surpasses that of many European cities. 90% white, tons of beautiful women, there's jobs everywhere, and super safe. The rest of the country also hates these states because they are "too racist and right-wing". In turn, we receive a large influx of European immigrants every year. I think we are headed to a good direction.

You can own guns if you keep them in your house. You can't carry them without a special permit that is rarely granted without a pressing need. You also need to report to the government what guns you need and request permission to buy new guns (though this permission is always granted without problems assuming you don't have criminal history).
You can't homeschool, period. It is illegal.
You can't deny the holocaust. Hate speech is a crime.

Brazil would need to improve their trade with other Latin American countries, possibly with Arab countries and China.
Good luck with that. Most people here are US wienersuckers. They only want to trade with the one country that fricks over us consistently. Hollywood has such a tight grip over Brazil's culture it is sad.
don't we already trade a lot with china?
Food and steel, mostly, I think
"commodities" isnt real trading bro
Yes and we will be exporting even more after the reform. Thoughever I think China might eventually turn into an imperialistic and oppressive country just like the US, so this might bite us in the ass later. It would be better to trade with other Latin countries and build a solid Latin economic block. But how will we do that if we eat up every single anti-Latin narrative that the US throws in our direction?
The average Brazilian passionately hates Venezuela purely because of ideological reasons ("muh socialism"). Monkeys don't understand that it doesn't matter if Venezuela is socialistic, communistic or whatever, they are our fricking neighbors and we need to trade with them regardless of what their believe in.
>The average Brazilian passionately hates Venezuela purely because of ideological reasons ("muh socialism")
HAHAHAHAHAHA NO FRICKING WAY is that really true? God I had no idea how easy it was to brainwash 3rd worlders
the hate is because bozonaro started the venezuela is comunist meymey
During the pandemic one of the states that neighbors Venezuela was lacking in oxygen. Our federal government (under Bolsonaro) did not give a single frick. Venezuela immediately sent trucks carrying oxygen to the hospitals that lacked it, and they did it without any official request. You know what happened? Brazilian right-wingers started protesting it and demanding the hospitals did not use the dirty commie oxygen. I wish I was joking.
For the record Brazil and Venezuela have ZERO history together, we never fought in a war or anything, the hate is 100% ideological.

Sorry but I can't believe this. There is no fricking way. This is straight out of a movie. Can any brbro confirm this?
can't check but it is probably true. Right wingers really hate commies. Some times they over do it
Partially true.
Yes, Venezuela did send oxygen without request:

https://www.brasildefato.com.br/2021/01/17/venezuela-envia-130-mil-litros-de-oxigenio-e-brigada-com-107-medicos-a-manaus
But the local population received these trucks with intense celebration. Which is only natural, their loved ones were dying, and these trucks brought salvation.
There was a lot of hate and protests online, mainly because Venezuela made Bolsonaro look bad (he was the one who was supposed to send oxygen).
Yes. Is true.

>socialist country sends aid without any request
>gets backlash for it from right wing monkeys
fricking subhumans, I used to think brazil was cool but it seems you Black folk are somehow even worse politically than my country, I hate brazil now
Brazil people are usually cool since most of them suffers a lot, it's just the Bolsonaro bootlickers that are massive morons.

Nice fanfic.
What can the other latin american countries even offer?
>The average Brazilian passionately hates Venezuela purely because of ideological reasons ("muh socialism").
it is entirely understandable to hate them because people fear their shitty ideology will lea into the country and frick us over, there is already a bunch of disingenuous pothead Black folk that go into the tourist approved areas of those countries to try painting a pretty picture of them but we all know they are infinitely worse than Brazil.
>it is entirely understandable to hate them because people fear their shitty ideology will lea into the country and frick us over
Thanks for demonstrating the power of American propaganda. No anon, trading with a socialist country does not turn you socialist. It's not aids, you won't get infected just by shaking hands with them or whatever. Fricking hell
I don't believe in that you fricker, I ma talking about the pothead Black folk
I have always been battlefield 2 kind of guy
US wienersuckers? Have you seen what happens inside highschools these days? Might as well believe Hitler was the 40th, 41st, 43rd and 45th US presidents

>want
any country that has US bases is a US vassal state. if Brazil refuses the be the US's b***h, the US will give brazil "freedom and democracy"
>Most people here are US wienersuckers.
Brazil as in both it's population and political alignment has always been like that and I, unfortunately, don't see it changing any time soon. I wish Latin America as a whole was more proud of itself, especiall the 'latin' part as opposed to the 'america' part.
never gonna happen because we are basically a huge ass narco state that will soon become just another dictatorships
Why do most pro-PT comments here start well (e.g. pointing the commodities boom from 2022, etc), but then quickly turn into third-world nationalist cope (e.g. "IT'S THE USA SABOTAGING US" or "IT'S NOT THE FAULT OF THOSE WHO MADE GARGANTUAN LEVELS OF CORRUPTION, THE FAULT LIES IN THOSE WHO GOT THEM ARRESTED")?
>that will soon become just another dictatorships
>MUH DENTADURA
Whose dictatorship, lmao?
PT's or STF
...and how exactly would PT make a dictatorship?
>all the cultures that colonized us
>italians
Average brazillian knowledge of history
yeah i should have posted "all the cultures we inherited from" you're right.
It is easy to point and attack rather than defend.
A lot of leftist are just sensitive people full of hatred and toddler tantrum "gibs me dat", "its yo fault no' mine". They get so emotional over dumb shit too, its like a South Park skit.
to be fair our problem is we took the worst of all the cultures that colonized us, like carnival from the italians for example,and made them the center of our culture while forgetting the good stuff ex: portuguese architecture
>like carnival from the italians
wut
look up entrudo
it's an old as frick portuguese tradition mixed with french masquerade ball
if carnaval turned to shit, you can thank Vargas

Brazil has a horrific education system, with an average of 83 IQ internationally, people say that Brazil is shit because of politicians, or the economy, or the gringos, but this is just cope.
Dramatic crackdown on crime, better public education, reduce taxes, business incentives, more industrialization, clean energy. Only after those things could it even think to compete with the USD or Euro
oy vey that's racist!
I mean less than 10 years ago it was as close as it will ever get (1 BRL to 1,60 USD) because anytime we get even near...market forces get angry.
how did lula get it to 1,60 anyways? like it kind of feels it was luck since he is just as incompetent as bolsonaro. I mean even with his guidance the dollar skyrocketed during the DIlma years.
Commodities boom that he spent to buy local politicians, bureaucrats and favelados, he did frickshit and is worse than bolsonaro.
>he is just as incompetent as bolsonaro
He was literally the most competent leader this blighted land has ever had. Pic related, our GDP per capita in dollars. I added Cuba's for the sake of illustration, since one of the most common bits of fearmongering surrouding Lula is that he'll make us poorer than Cuba (meanwhile, it was the right who did that, and 3 times, no less). This isn't so much a credit to him but a condemnation of our abyssally terrible ruling classes, that even Lula's mediocrity was a golden age compared to the aggressive and even deliberate awfulness of everyone to the right of him. I sicnerely advise you to not trust the word of any who tells you Lula sucks, because that person either cannot judge elementary facts, or they're trying to manipulate you.
Fricking have a nice day you goddamn rat.
pic
He was literally the most investigated Brazilian ever and they found jack shit, so all they could throw at him was hiding a ranch which he never denied he used (it belonged to a longtime family family) and an apartment which he never even used.
The entire rest of the world knows that Lava Jato was a witch hunt and a coupist conspiracy with US help. In fact, it has been revealed to be with hard proof at least 3 times (once by The Intercept, once by Le Monde and currently by the revelations of some Curitiba crook who took part in it). It's long past time to admit that, if you believed in Lava Jato, you were taken for a ride. It's okay, I believed in it early on, but hey, you have to cop to it sooner or later. The left was right all along.
have a nice day now before some pardo does it.
>The entire rest of the world knows that Lava Jato was a witch hunt and a coupist conspiracy with US help.
lmao
>He was literally the most competent leader this blighted land has ever had.
clearly not since he is knee deep in crime
Lula's """success""" was purely from commodities boom and financial stability post-Real plan, see Dilma's 2nd run utter failure
The "bundas commodities" is an old anti-Lula cope. The world has been in another such boom since 2021, yet only when Lula came back into power in 2023 did the country gain anything from it. In 2021-2022, latifundio scum were just using this to line their pockets with zero benefit for anyone else. These obscene prices you were paying for onions cooking oil and oil-derived fuels, products we make in absurd quantities? That was Bozo and his cronies squeezing you dry even during a commodities boom.
Dilma screwed up the exchange rate, but the internal economy stayed decent until 2014. Pic related, our GDP per capita em huebux. Take a fricking guess which AnTiCoRrUpTiOn CaMpAiGn began in that year and sent the country into a recession which lasted near an entire decade.
>onions cooking oil
HUEHUEHUE
(me)
Wait, that's GDP, not GDP per capita. Still, the point stands.
Dumb homosexual. Lula is just surfing the economic wave, again, that was created by Guedes during Bolso goverment. I bet you are doing it for free, on fricking Ganker of all places, lmao.
Those commies that you like would throw you under the bus if they could ride on top of you like the b***h that you are, get out and touch grass.
>that was created by Guedes
The only thing that literal psychopath created was inflation and exchange rate devaluation. Begone, bozoloid.
So, you are doing it for free, lmao.
Pathetic loser.
>he "bundas commodities" is an old anti-Lula cope.
hahahaha

the commodities boom ended in ~2014, you fricking moron
>lula
He did frick all, it was literally the commodities boom. Actually we didn't grow nearly as much as we could since we were burning out money left and right on ineffective social programs and corruption scandals like Mensalão and Petrolão.
Because he did frick all. The Real plan was good (thank Itamar for that) and the commodities boom came right after. It could have been way better, just look at Chile.
Following this shit is just frustrating, any time it gets close to even just 4,80 it immediately bounces back up because investors got scared by something. It's no wonder Ganker is full of crazy schizos.
>Most people grew up with a bootleg Sega Genesis
Not really. Brazil is unironically still OFFICIALLY producing SEGA 8-16bits consoles. TecToy was SEGA's partner company in the manufacturing of SEGA consoles in Brazil, but TecToy still have the licenses to produce SEGA consoles to this day, and they are still doing it.
https://www.tectoy.com.br/master-system-evolution-com-132-jogos-na-memoria-995020351822-p186
For less than 100 dollars you can get a legit master system with over 130 games. Yes, I'm being paid for this endorsement.
I just want the real Master II and not Master-in-one-chip garbo.
They should reprint the Master games.

The average Brazilian wants to get value from their purchase. They don't give a frick about collecting.

We didn't have bootlegged Sega Genesis, all Sega brazilian videogames were manufactured locally by Tec-Toy, a company licensed by Sega and the videogames were basically the same. Same thing with the Super Nintendo, made licensed by Nintendo by a local company called Playtronic.
The ones that were bootlegged were the Atari 2600 (Dactar) and, especially, the NES (Dynavision, Phantom System, Top Game and more).
Bolsonaro is fricking shit but I don't trust the current government for a second.
I don't trust any government
Yeah but i distrust this one even more than the last. They have way too many connections with crime in general. The criminals are even getting more wienery, just last year there was a ton of robberies in my neighborhood, it used to be one of the safest around these parts.
Some woman also got shot 7 times a few blocks from my apartment 2 weeks ago.
I just kind of feel like everything is deteriorating.
With both of them the middle class is always the one to get fricked. Poorgays never had anything to lose so they don't care anyway, and the top 1% don't care the same way because they have too much. Now, the middle class, they are the ones who have been constantly losing from all sides: they suffer with the violence, they pay more taxes, they are seeing their money losing value non-stop.
this is now an ed motta thread
I wish our economies and also cultures would sink to Weimar levels, so that we could get "Weimar's ending"
morons are already asking for a dictatorship, something that would be unthinkable 20+ years ago. If lefties keep pushing it, that's what we are getting. Again.
The pendulum swings.
that is exactly what is going to happen in Brazil trough the STF
and that's based. and antisemirism is also becoming popular in the west. I thing the pendulum will swing. I just hope it's a real swing and not a ~~*controlled*~~ one
the neoliberal democracy is collapsing. 9/11 was the first sign of it as the west became a surveillance nanny police state, and the 2008 recession, the current post-covid inflation and as well as the woke culture leftist degenerate deterioration of culture is only fueling its demise.
9/11 should happens more

it happened again in 2020

The same people wouldn't like to be put in jail or be chained to a wall, or be spied on by a guy dressed in all black from their window. It's willful ignorance and social customs.
If an authoritarian regime spied on people but provided all of their needs, you would see people care until they didn't.
>brazilian
Try like the rest of Southamerica*
>Most people grew up with a bootleg Sega Genesis
No, those were actually licensed from Sega by TecToy.
>they unironically have nostalgia for the Zeebo
Nobody had a Zeebo.
>it seems every obscure fighting game is being kept alive solely because of some autist in a favela.
this one is actually true though
Yep pretty much only the NES and the Atari 2600 were bootlegged, OP doesn't know shit about the brazilian videogame culture.
It's funny how the main bootleggers of both Atari and NES eventually became their authorized distributors.
btw what the frick happened to Gradiente? It was basically our vidya powerhouse
>they unironically have nostalgia for the Zeebo
Not at all, but I suppose some people do have a curiosity for a weird failed system.

>too many people abuse argentina peso to buy shit so gaben gets mad and updates every regional price right when it's absolute garbage everywhere thanks to memevid
>and also kills ARS just because
and so back to piracy I go
truthfully almost none Jap publishers never did regional prices over here
Square didn't Scamco didn't Sega didn't
Capcom is the only one that bothered IIRC
wait now that I think about Scamco also seems to be doing regional pricing
the DLC is very reasonably priced and Tekken 8 isn't the 70 Bidens equivalent of 3 fricking 50
still hate them tho lol
from what i recall Capcom is the only one that did regional pricing.
probably some other jap studios as well but i don't really recall it right now. However Capcom did slightly increase the price of their regional priced games over time
There was a survey some time ago that revealed Japanese is the second most spoken language in this country, even
with how many japs live in sao paulo, sure
the south has its fair share of italian speaking boomers tho
Weimar Brazil when?
Everyday since the monarchy fell
hopefully we'll get Weimar's ending too
Never. Brazillians are monkey-brained, 100% of the population be it white and black. Our entire culture is built on short-term hedonism and centuries-old political apathy. Every revolutionary movement in this country was crushed without chance and every political event was highly controlled to preserve status quo as much as possible

Make a thinly veiled Hispanic gaming thread and you'll get a similar crowd.
The average huehue gamer/ Ganker user is still the same GIB MONI I REPOT U you were used to two decades ago, this thread isn't representative of anything. Like all good offtopic threads.
I always think about how Brazilians are useless...
Games have always been extremely popular in Brazil, Mega Drive (Genesis) and Master System in the 80s and 90s dominated the market due to the huge investment from Tec Toy...
And to think that at that time when Brazilians loved games, for example, Poland was closed to communism...
Today Poland produces great games and Brazil just consumes without producing anything, with a typical colonial mentality.
Children who grew up playing video games in the 80s and 90s became adults who only knew how to buy games made by foreigners (including games produced by Poles as I mentioned), without ever having learned how to produce their own games, even with so many advantages they had in all these decades that other people did not have.
The sega consoles were mostly original (megadrive and master system) made by tectoy, a sega-licensed company that brought their shit overseas. There were a bunch of fakes with games pre-installed, but the majority of Sega consoles were original genesis or MS.
Nintendo consoles on the other hand, had a bunch of fake NES/SNES clones. But plenty of people had original SNES consoles by playtronic (the nintendo equivalent of tectoy in Brazil).
No one has nostalgia for the zeebo because no one bought it. It's literally just a mobile cpu inside a case with a controller that ran mobile games adapted for a console context. No one cares about it, just clueless NA youtubers.
Fighting games were always popular here. Plenty of arcades still working to this day, we have releases that didn't even make it to NA and EU.

I want every gringoanon to know something: EVERY SINGLE BRAZILIAN in this thread isn't "the average Brazilian".
Everyone here is "rich" compared to most of the country (But still dirt poor compared to anyone else).
The average brazillian barely knows Portuguese, let alone English or how to use Ganker.
it's not like the average american knows english
In addition to having an age range limit.
Brazilians who know English are basically limited to those who spent their childhood and youth during the 90s and first half of the 2000s, and learned the language playing games in English.
Those who either grew up before this period or after, do not know English and would hardly be able to participate in a community like this one here.
nah, I'm average as frick for south/southeast standard. At least money wise. The average brazilian only looks dirty poor and moronic if you include the Africa tier regions.

The fun part about this beautiful country is that every time we manage to find some tech that makes our lives moderately less shitty, the government instantly taxes the everliving frick out of it.
I miss these days like you wouldn't believe. Part of what I loved about the Mega Drive: unlike the Master System, of which pretty much all games were all from the official BR distributor and thus were much more straightforward and all in English or Portuguese, MD had a shitload of smuggled Japanese carts flying around. A lot of variety in styles and gameplay, and all these exotic moonrunes and weird cultural references which blew my infant mind. And always the dread that a cart would be region-locked...
