  • Japan will do anything but address the root issue of their toxic work culture. How do they expect anyone to have and raise a family with the economy as it is while they continue to normalize and allow companies to exploit their workers.

    Underpaying, “encouraging” working extra hours (for free) to show “dedication”, nomikai (see: more forced work hours, unpayed)…

    A middle class Japanese person will work 10-14 hours a day, get paid for 8 of them, and then be “encouraged” to spend 2-3 hours a night a couple nights a week “bonding” with coworkers and drinking (see: spending their money, on work)… neverminding all economics of it all, how, more importantly WHEN, tf is anyone meant to have personal time to themselves to meet, date, have a relationship? Let alone raise a kid.
















  • I tried the Finals, for like 2 weeks… I just can’t with it. It’s too chaotic, weapon balance is non-existent, everyone is playing team deathmatch because maybe only 4 people in the whole lobby know what the objective is, and those 4 people are the sweatiest, nastiest, most toxic people in gaming. I have been in several matches and heard players yelling n-slurs like it was a 2006 CoD lobby.

    I wanted to like it. The character customizer is super detailed with cool stuff… but the microtransaction economy of it sucks giant donkey balls. You’ll never make enough playing for free to buy anything more than some finger nail colors… and you’d have to take out a second mortgage to buy enough “points/coins/gold?” to buy all the things you want.

    Basically, fuck everything about the Finals… neat concept ruined by a greedy model, toxic playerbase, shitty balancing, and confusing gameplay. That’s why the playercount is dogshit, and it’ll be yet another games-as-a-service shutdown within the next year.
