Why do you say that like it’s a bad thing?

Plot twist: the job is specifically for a transcriber/translator and requires high level of accuracy.

I could totally see this as being a thing back in the day before everyone was walking around with a supercomputer in their pocket capable of OCR.

Dude’s a billionaire, he very likely has a team of people whose sole responsibility is to keep him out of the news and/or media, unless explicitly allowed.

Only Elon Schmuck (and maybe Kanye West) are deranged enough to think they can manage their public presence positively.

Tell that to my banking apps!

In terms of programming, absolutely some bloat there.

This mental image popped into my head, after reading your comment. Now you get to enjoy it too, wAaHhh!

 

Not sure if anyone else remembers this cartoon from their childhoods; sometimes it feels like it may have all just been a bit of a fever dream given how unhinged the English dub was at times!

This trailer gave me big, warm nostalgic vibes, and it seems like it could look/play somewhat like Cuphead perhaps? I’m cautiously hyped.

What are other obtuse, forgotten media properties that you think are overdue for revival? I’ll start the ball rolling with Tekkaman/Technoman Blade
