honestly audio on shit these days is so garbage (and has been going that way for years) that i can't even follow along with video DUBBED IN MY NATIVE LANGUAGE if there aren't subtitles or closed captions available

i cannot be turning the volume up so loud that if somebody screams it damages my hearing or every bit of action in a fight scene shakes the walls just to be able to pick out the normal conversational volume level spoken words from the music and background audio

it takes so much brainpower to try and pick out what's being said and process the words that i can't focus on the action or follow the plot along because it's eating up all my mental resources just trying to figure out what's being spoken.

#for the record this is about like actual professional releases and shit where they SHOULD be able to afford #better quality handling of the audio or are being streamed on an official service that should be able to afford captions #i don't expect that from videos of like 'i found this cool bug on my walk let me ramble about how neat it is' from some rando online #i get that providing good quality audio mixing is a skill and same thing with adding good quality and well-timed subs and captions #but like if you're a professional and this is professionally produced content there's no excuse for this shit #(obviously it's all cost-cutting because cheaper is better and fuck anybody who gets screwed but i hate it)
