  • My main nit is that Rogue Incursion is hamstrung by how well one can tolerate existing in a tense VR setting for extended periods of time. (For me, I felt insane after taking my headset off, like I hadn’t blinked once in 30 minutes.)

    Yyyyeeeaaaahhh, I probably couldn’t go 3 minutes 😅 I’m a big 'ol wuss and I just can’t do horror games, even though I absolutely love horror movies and the Alien franchise – I get so immersed in games that survival horror stuff is just a nope for me



  • Right, it’s only 2/4 “I can’t believe it’s not real fascism” + 1/4 “we’d be ok with concentration camps as long as they were privately funded” + 1/4 “we’d be ok with concentration camps as long as the signs are in Swedish and Finnish” which is much better. Especially the National Coalition Party is more or less indistinguishable from the Finns Party, and they’ve made it exceedingly clear that they’re 100% fine with bigotry and many of their members are exactly as bigoted as the worst of PS / KD.

    When the PM whines about how the opposition makes Finland look bad by talking to foreign press about literal fucking neo-Nazis in the fucking government, and makes several proclamations about how they won’t stand for racism which is believable for about 4h until the next PS or KOK member says something incredibly racist, it’s not exaclty going to inspire me to believe that the majority of people voting for those shitbags don’t endorse this behavior as well

    Conservative weirdos then misused them term to mean anyone that is nice to women.

    Right, and like I said in another comment, if 99% of the uses of the word I see are exactly those, it doesn’t matter what the fuck it’s “supposed to” mean when people use it to just mean anyone who’s having a non-hateful interaction with a feeeeeemale

    Well, when 99% of the uses of the word “simp” I see are just conservative fuckwits getting upset that someone is having a normal and healthy interaction with a feeeeeeeemale, it doesn’t really matter to me what the “real” meaning of that word is supposed to be




  • Good luck with that.

    Finland is a deeply racist country and our current far-right government has exactly zero interest in worker demands in general – to the point of limiting people’s right to strike – and they’re going to be especially unsympathetic to pleas from people working for food courier platforms as they’re generally immigrants. The platforms themselves have zero interest in paying people more, as that would likely mean fewer customers and worse revenue.

    Nkunda is right in saying that jobs like this are pretty much the only ones many immigrants can get, and this is by design. Most companies won’t hire immigrants (around 50% of our population is extremely conservative and very racist), so the only options left are exploitative jobs that are more or less tailored for immigrants – low pay and terrible conditions that nobody who has a choice really wants to accept.
