Idk about UI design, but from personal experience, Japanese software feels really weak. I play a popular Japanese CCG and the tournament software they use is really bad. At the big events there's 30m+ of downtime between rounds because there's no automated way to input match slips. At 2000+ person attendance it crashes the site so you can't see online pairings which makes everyone in the venue scramble to the printed pairings. When they announce banlist updates, the website crashes from the traffic. A lot of this feels like a solved problem from other big firms and game publishers, but the Japanese ones without fail have consistently awful software that feels stuck in the 90s by comparison.

While I have lied to my parents in grade school, I can't say I've ever participated in human trafficking.
I hate the "iT wAs A dIfFeReNt TiMe" argument. As if people who opposed this didn't exist then as they do now.
BoyBoy did a react video to one of these types and the point they made that really resonated with me was "Are these people are even attracted to women?" I think about that a lot.
A data scientist can tell most of someone’s life story given their zip code, and we try not to think too hard about why that’s always the most predictive feature in the model.
Hmmmmm
Unsurprising the people whose livings are tied to the bourgeois courts and legal system put tons of stock in it.
The Silicon Valley attitude of collect now, monetize later, and maybe secure eventually is why. Every one of these people thinks they can make some AI that magically make their app and your life better.
Agreed. I've always read geo engineering to be up there with carbon capture as bullshit.
Even the "modest" cloud seeding or reflective crap in the atmosphere had the addendum of making enormous chunks of the global south unlivable. Which makes them read more as fantasy implements of mass genocide than anything remotely palliative.
It does from time to time. You'll see "pushed" (ie really good and hard to get) cards come out and enjoy their time and then either they get banned or the synergistic cards that make them format warping get banned.
I don't even mind that aspect of the product cycle that much. I enjoy they competitive aspect and some strategies can and will be better than others.
But the cards that define the format being inaccessible AND this type of product design that's endemic to the CCG business model really sucks. And IRL play is so much better than sims, especially if you're trying to improve at the game too.
I hate the business model of these card games. The gameplay is usually pretty good and the competitive aspect is nice. But the competitive chase cards being at predatory distributions in the product really turned me off to the whole thing.
I've only ever had to badge into places, never out.
But jurors with denied insurance claims will be too compromised of course.
