Yep, I've never had major problems with platforming on HK. I do have some NES platformer background, but the bosses are beating me up countless times. Same happened with Metroid Dread, didn't have big issues with previous Metroids but Dread bosses had become insanely difficult compared to the former games. I guess there's nowadays some soulslike crossover trend happening on metroidvanias causing this melee difficulty ramp-up. I haven't played souls games so it has came as a shock for me.
Anyway, I have found workarounds in HK. Whenever I get stuck on some boss I keep exploring the map further and find powerups which then make the fighting difficulty seem more balanced again. Luckily HK allows really versatile nonlinear progression.
The habit of compressing commercials super loud comes from the fact that many of them also have to fit radios where it is important for the brainwash being clearly heard on weak signals too.
Despite ideological relatedness they really weren't in good terms. China and Soviet Union even had an armed border conflict in 1969. They've also had those old area disputes still in 2000s as well.
Public platforms could still have issues with privacy too. The platform could profile its users, sell that information and bombard targeted ads or algorithm curated content at users. These aren't a thing here in Lemmy or elsewhere fediverse, other than Threads...
