Work at a dishwasher factory. We used to make a model with windows, they were really expensive parts, which meant that they were really expensive dishwashers for a feature that really isn’t useful.

It makes sense in a microwave or oven because you can check in and make sure it’s all good, or pull it out if it’s done. You can’t do that with a dishwasher, it just runs it’s course.

Plus all you could see in the thing was splashing soap water.

Ahh yes, let's make stores into prisons.

Or how about we bring back cashier's, pay people a living wage andaybe they won't have to resort to stealing.

You want to know how I know this isn't true?

Because if it were, the big car makers would be rushing the hell out of pushing for killing off ICE cars and switching to 100% EVs like yesterday.

But yet most of them have put out a mediocre effort at best, offering maybe 2 models to attract the younger market. And even then, good luck actually getting one. You are on a wait list for at least a year, have to deal with dealerships that haven't bothered to learn anything about them, and if they do miraculously have one on the lot, they've been using it as a loaner car, so it's not even brand new. And while I was shopping around, I ran into multiple instances of the dealership taking the $7500 tax credit for themselves(because the tax credit is tied to the car, not to you buying it) and then having the gall to also mark up the sticker price, "due to high demand".

Then other brands have basically outright resisted making them, or will make them, but it seems like they are only doing it to say they are going green. They'll make like 2000 of the the dopeyiest looking car they can and trickle them out, make no effort to advertise them or mass produce them in any meaningful way. Then claim, "the demand just isn't there".

Like if what you said was true, we would be seeing things like dodge challengers, Ford mustangs(ones that actually look like a mustang, not just a crossover with a horse logo), dodge rams, Ford f150s(yes these exist, but they are trickleing them out, so good luck getting one), jeep Wranglers. Nobody is taking their tried and true cars and making them electric. Well VW is, but not in America with things like the golf and GTI lines.

Is it really the sloppiest though?

I'd say its about on par with their past games. It's clearly their game engine, modified to do space stuff.

If you come at it with the mindset that not every game has to get bigger and more expansive and have more and more realism/mechanics that don't serve the core gameplay, it achieves it's goal.

Not saying its game of the year material or anything, but if I was doing an employee review, I'd give it a meets expectations grade.

Um, professor umbridge from Harry Potter. She’s basically an asshole just to be one.

The other ones all have some sort of justification to their shittyness. Jenny was abused, Vader was a literal slave that was taken advantage of by both the Jedi and palpatine. The joker has literal mental issues.

Umbridge was straight up a child abuser with no remorse or tragic back story. She harmed kids while enjoying it and drinking tea.

That’s the thing. I think it is a carry over from that. Back then a lot of games didn’t have a menu or anything, after you hit the button, you were just playing the game.

Like Mario 1 and 3 have just a simple 1 or 2 player select then you are in the game. Some single player games didn’t have anything, they just would go straight to the game after you hit start.

Now there isn’t really a need since nearly every game has a menu for loading saves, starting a new game and such. So they could go, but are just a vestigial part of gaming history at this point.
