What are some terrible jobs or terrible moments from terrible jobs you’ve had?
Too many to remember... But my experiences in the shipping industry are a large part of why I'm an advocate for UBI now. It's so easy to see how basically all of those jobs can be automated, and that's just one industry. Any significant level of automation across all industries will make some form of UBI inevitable. The more we resist, the worse the transition will be... and not to be dramatic, but the cost will be paid in lives.
Every time people fret about "jobs disappearing," I just think they're worrying about the wrong thing. Anything a machine can do better should be done by a machine. Automate all of the "Bullshit Jobs." Give people enough money to survive, and they will have a chance to discover/create more meaningful Occupations.
Or they will just... survive. That will be enough for some people, and _that is fine._ Survival shouldn't depend on your ability or willingness to perform a Bullshit Job and pretend you care about it. People who want more than bare survival will have to work, and jobs that still require people will have to pay for more than bare survival. What a freaking concept.
I was a Kitchen Porter one summer in Scotland. I am from central Europe, and it was my first time in the West, I thought it's gonna be fun... but meh, it was hard. Washing plates and huge pots, and running in the kitchen with cuts that never actually heal because I still got new ones from washing the dishes (and my hands were still wet, making the cuts even worse). Sometimes, there is a steak knife forgotten among the plates... I am always eternally grateful when I get food and I don't criticize anyone because the job is so hard. The hardest part was the social aspect: Being treated like a white Slavic slave from a "poor country" (except for people who went to Prague and said that it was a really beautiful city), seeing the whole drama of employees in the hotel having their crazy soap opera borderline relationships, one of them a veteran chef from Afghanistan with PTSD and Tourette syndrome... There were so many horrifying and fascinating things about being there. I later practically burned out from this experience. I did more jobs there also like night portering, housekeeping, and even some cooking which I enjoy, but I was not quick enough back then. Three months there felt like 2 years of regular life and school. The first month was sometimes entertaining and fun, but the two remaining months were boring, full of misery and hard physical labor, but I will never forget the crazy people and experiences I had there (I would need to describe in detail some of the most interesting experiences, let me know if you are interested).
I also worked in a small business of some pâté makers here at home, which only from the description sounds like a terrible job - cleaning machines from the remains of dead animals... but contrary to the expectations it was great! The owners were amazing, one of them used to be a teacher of mathematics and they thought out every part of the process of cooking. When people use their imagination and intellectual skills, many jobs can become amazing experiences even though they may seem strange from the outside.
I agree that a lot of jobs need to be automated, there are so many unnecessary painful and stressful jobs... not everyone has the mental resources to make chores fascinating to do.
@@KvitekAdam Incredible stories!
Not the topic of the question but, in my opinion, a job is just as worse as the people who manage you.
What I mean is that, the hours can be harsh, but you can love the work you do because your bosses are cool.
You can also hate your job because the people don't care about you.
To come back on the topic, my worst job was in the fast food industry. I was locked in the freezer because the manager was careless and did not hear me tell her that I was inside.
I did not remain long in it but as soon as one of my colleague came out to pick some things up in the freezer, she found me there, brought me up, and this very same manager yelled at me for "deserting the job" and wanted me to not be warmed up but instead to go back to work.
I quit on the spot.
Remember that you're all better than a manager or supervisor tell you you are.
Trial periods are as just for you to decide if you want the job as it is for them to see if you fit.
This obviously isn't a real job yet but I think being a mech mercenary would be a fitting terrible job
I remember streaming this and one of the developers appeared in the chat and just chatted. It was a fun interaction. They explained that there's fire in space because there just is.
Man this video struck something with me. It had me thinking about 2 jobs I look back on in a negative light. Amazon warehouse and forklift operator for a logistics company. I'll focus on amazon cause that place has given me so many stories in the 2 years I worked there that I could write short stories about them.
Amazon warehouses are one of those places that really prepare you for some of the more depressing things that can happen with a lot of jobs cause so many different bad things can happen. I remember getting hurt and being unable to breath deeply and being told to just work it off by a supervisor while I wait for my supervisor to get back from lunch. This lead to a doctor telling me to go on light duty and physical therapy. This lead to me gaining an "ambassador" position which means we stay in the field and make sure routes run smooth and send help when needed. Managers and supervisors tried to have the people training me to throw me under the bus saying I wasn't doing good when I was and so one. Turned out I was really good at it and this upset some of the managers and supervisors which lead to them to threaten taking me off light duty and remove me from my position and I unfortunately complied cause this was seasonal turned part time work and it didn't seem I would be able to fight something like this. After that I kept the status but was sent on the hardest routes anyway with no assistance as a form of punishment. This happened until me and a bunch of other people were forced to quit cause it was either that or be put to full time and sent to a warehouse way out of where we are comfortable driving to.
That job is pretty much why I dislike a game Death Stranding so much cause all this happened during the pandemic and the "Your rebuilding america" language that game used reminded me so much of all that "yall are heroes" talk everyone was hearing during the rise of the pandemic. We even had posters of comic book style artwork of amazon workers all throughout the walls. The job really wasnt worth it cause now I'm 29 with back issues.
Didn't expect this to go so long but like I said the video struck something in me. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for your story! Holy crap. We truly get mistreated here.
Yeah i feel ya man. I realize dhow screwy alot.of warehouse work was and got out when i could
I do find it bizarre, I tend to enjoy a lot of grindy games; but I don't enjoy meaningless work. It seems like a contradiction, because the payouts of gaming are worse than that of working. When you work you get money but when you game, you basically lose time, and money because of the electricity you are using.. However, I have tried not gaming to see if I would use my spare time to accomplish something, but all it did was make me depressed. Life felt more pointless.. After a few months build a pc again and got back to gaming but in the back of my mind I can't help but think that I am just wasting my time.
We are creatures born for leisure, not work. Work is a construct that society built and hooked us up to to make us subservient for our base necessities. Here in America, it's especially so. It takes a lot of work, but we shouldn't feel guilty about having fun and enjoying ourselves. We shouldn't have to work and be "productive", whatever that measurement is, just to feel like we have meaning or are contributing to a greater whole, as if we need to.
Absolutely understand that feeling. I fell into a rut after a disability reared it's ugly head years back and changed my life plans. We need play just to survive sometimes.
However, enrichment isn't just a physical experience, but a mental one as well, and play is a unique outlet for mental enrichment. It is just as necessary a part of life as any physical or "traditional" self improvement and often leads to thoughts that can be brought into your "real" life. As with most things though, moderation is key. If it's consuming your life, cut back. If it loses it's luster or isn't enjoyable, change things up. If there's a need gnawing at you that isn't being met, seek it out. These are all things that play teaches. Surviving the mundanity and hardship of life basically requires the fantasy of play, albeit, with moderation.
Also, if it's grindy games that push your buttons, you may simply be looking for systems to understand and bend to your benefit. Or it may be as simple as Skinner boxes being surprisingly effective tools for simulating achievement. If that's the case, find the one's that make you really think and push your analytical skills to the limits and the time will feel less wasted as you're developing IRL skillsets that will serve you throughout life.
Someone told me the following a while ago:
»as long as you have fun, wasting time, time wasn't wasted«
Or in other words have fun while and where you can, you just have this life
Watching your interview with your old manager is like a classic list of all the things that people tell themselves to excuse their own behavior. "Oh, your situation is terrible? It must have been the product of your own decisions and thus your own fault." As if people in terrible positions only got there through bad decisions. He might have been sympathetic, but he appears to have bought into the sociopathic company behavior to a fair degree.
Another clue is the "forever job", as if such a thing can even exist for most people. The majority of work that needs done in the world is shit work. Very few people want to be in an office shoveling paper around. Very few people want to dig ditches, or stand around pointing people to the toilet paper aisle.
yeaaah. I kinda want to slap him tbh.
Or give him an autoimmune disorder. He can have mine, if only my colon still existed we could do a swap.
That guy is a class traitor. Smh
@@milk_bath It is frighteningly easy to reprogram people to believe things like this. Think of cult indoctrination behaviour for the most extreme example. Some people are more susceptible to it than others due to all kinds of life circumstances that make one insecure and dependent on the "results" of their work, but we're all one isolating tragedy away from accepting some warped vision of reality where getting a cookie for throwing people into a meat grinder is something you can make a life on. This is how it's designed to work.
Hot gameplay tip for quantities of computers, crates, etc that are close together: tether them in a chain to one another before “plucking” them. They’ll pop themselves off, and you can shoot just the heaviest one towards the barge. Saves time turning from ship to barge and back again. Pop-pop-pop, shoot. Works especially well in cargo bays and cabins with an open wall.
Disclaimer: Intuitive and efficient work like this will NOT earn you recognition with the company. Please continue to do the bare minimum as needed.
Oooh! That's a hot tip!
Just make sure that you take everything out of the ship before pushing into the barge, because if not your ship and items will fly around randomly and could cause you your death, which is very inefficient for Lynx
Your channel is a gem. I've been watching since the Thief video and your longform reviews are the best on UA-cam. No clickbait, no desperate attempts to be funny, just great presentation with well thought-out points. Keep doing what you enjoy, these are way too good to not blow up eventually.
Thank you!
Yea your choices matter but it's definitely naïve to think that there aren't a whole host of other factors that get people stuck in shitty jobs.
This video hit really hard for me, I've been working since I was 17 and I'm 24 now, I've worked roughly 15 jobs in that period, switching around for a variety of reasons, some were layoffs, most were quitting due to shitty conditions, the job being seasonal and naturally ending, and being fired once. Your commentary mixed with the games perspective hit home hard for me, and one that has me so thankful I'm in the to position to now actually starting to potentially move into the fields I want through actually succeeding in my recent 3rd attempt at schooling. Thanks Nth, wonderful review.
Thank you so much. The goal of these Reviews is to provide evaluations for these games because they clearly weren't built in a vacuum. They have real themes and some games are far better than others. The ones that don't resonate with me... I tend to not cover. But to find the heart of a game and not just list off features is what makes me tick and how I want my channel to be different. Thank you for sharing your story. I hope we all get to realize that we're all in this boat together and it could be so much more equitable for everyone and the world would be so much better off as a result.
Good luck out there. Never settle for less than you deserve, and aim higher than anyone thinks you can achieve. I did retail for about 3 years and realized I wasn’t getting anywhere. I would rather die than live like a wage slave, so I left, went to a community college for a quickest certification I could find in a job I could tolerate, debt be damned. It’s easier said than done, I’m lucky to have decent grades and a reliable co-signer for my student loan, but *if* you can make moves to get up in the world, you can slingshot right past other barriers. I went from 12.50 an hour part time, to 9 months in school, to 21.00 an hour full time. Was able to afford an apartment, save up, and will be going back to school for only 2 years to get a job that ranges in the six-figures. Again, debt be damned.
I’m not saying this to brag, more so to point out how arbitrarily prohibitive these advancements can be to make. Employers will sell you LIES that you can move up in the company, become management, district, regional managers, and start a “career” in these companies, but it is FALSE. These people get in through nepotism, networking, and brute force, which is why they are all manipulative psychopaths. You need to get OUT of places like that, find certificates that you’d be surprised only take a few weeks or months of school for: phlebotomy, dental assisting, nurse assisting, things like welding, HVAC technicians, automotive mechanics, and truck drivers can take just around 6 months to be certified and start making two or three times what you used to, with not only job security but actual leverage to argue higher wages, as many of these positions are lacking in trained workers. And, you don’t have to settle. I went from 21.00 an hour to 24.00 an hour in just one week by simply leaving the job that wouldn’t give me a raise, and reporting my new job experience in my resume. I got an offer in one day because my position is starved in my area. It’s scary to make big leaps like that, and that’s mostly because society tells you that you’re “supposed to climb the ladder,” rung by rung, from janitor, to cashier, to customer service, to manager, etc. this is a lie. Aim higher than they say you deserve. Do not underestimate your skill and ability to learn. Remember that employers need YOU; YOU do not need an employer, a job, or money. At worst, you can live on the street, but a company without workers WILL die, and that fear is what drives them to pay you.
I hope this motivational ramble drives you to aim high. Never settle. Look into “moderate-skilled” labor like I described, and use it as a jumping off point into what you are really passionate about. That’s how you find the five-or-ten-year “goals” that people talk about. Five or ten years at an entry level position gets you nowhere. Start looking for where you can off that train, maybe not to get your dream job, but at least to something stable, dignified, and more than just tolerable.
This was definitely one of my favorite reviews!! As someone who works at a call center (that ironically pays way more that any job from my journalism career) I definitely understand that feeling of stuck ambitions, I would rather be a novelist and screenwriter instead of picking up calls from angry and confused customers, there’s so many things I would rather do but this is the only job that pays my bills for the moment and I feel that if I don’t keep myself focused on my goals I’m gonna end up in a “forever job” venting my frustrations with my co workers, it really sucks that there are certain jobs that only the privileged can get access to, and if really sucks that this Jobs (the entry level jobs, the ones that keep businesses afloat and in operations) are the least valued socially and economically speaking. Amazing video as always
I wish you so much peace, friend. ❤️❤️❤️
As a person who works mostly as a freelancer and had long periods of being „my own boss” - I must say that I sometimes envy the more stable nature of 9-5 gigs.
I also know that this sort of a gig is bound to be really soul crushing after a few years in, if not months. Because of that the likelihood of me searching for that sort of jobs is pretty damn low, but there might be a day where I’ll have to cave in and accept an offer like that.
I don’t know how I feel about the part talking about the importance of “personal choices” in terms of how your career progresses(mostly because I’m well aware that 90 percent of succeeding in pursuing your dream career - is down to luck and contacts you have/made along the way + the socioeconomic “caste” you initially emerged from) - but I think I do get where that part of the video was coming from.
As to Hardspace - I really need to get back into it… lol
I work at Cracker Barrel as a dishwasher & I love the idea of this video, what an awesome concept, Keep it up, much love from Iowa ❤❤
Thank you! I'd love to hear more about your story if you're willing to tell it.
@@NthReview So I studied graphic design in college & got an associates degree around 2014-15 somewhere around there, then graduated having no idea how hard it would be to find a job. I spent 3 years searching with a state agency & got nowhere. I took a year off & did a missionary school down in Texas doing photography on trips to Brazil & Mexico & then came back & applied at my local Cracker Barrel as I given up graphic design as it was going nowhere. I got the job & this year is my 4 year anniversary I believe, It’s not the most fun job in the world & doesn’t pay a lot but it keeps me busy & I love the people I work with. I’m starting to work with another state agency because in order to get married my mom & my girlfriend say I need a job with more stable hours 9-5 ya know so yeah that’s my story. I just queued up Hardspace on Gamepass & will check it out tomorrow, after checking out MLB 23, I would love a video on Starfield or Bethesda games in general
@@josephlemons My dream is to do Starfield and hopefully not get crowded out, but I think it'l lbe worth it. THANK YOU for telling your story.
@@NthReview no problem
The whole debt thing turned me off scrapping ships in Hardspace Shipbreaker, so I never got the game.
Still me and a friend became "shipbreakers" in Space Engineers, to the point that we were called "Elite Scrappers" for a lot of the same skills you see here.
From capturing enemy ships, disabling their controls, taking them home, learning where to cut to move those pieces into the "Grinding room" (Yes, we grind down whole sections, by having a chamber with a piston to push wreckage into grinders) and it was great fun.
But we were our own bosses, and what we got out of the salvaging was both the fun of the job, but also all the spoils of it (Ship materials to build and get what we wanted)
Cutting and carving up these behemoths if you have the freedom to decide where and it reacts accordingly is a lot of fun, but I guess I just found the better "job" than what this game offered :D
I don't know how you do it, but you've got a real talent for longform video game reviews. Every avenue of critique is so well thought out and deliberate that I'm struggling to imagine why your channel isn't larger by an order of magnitude
Obscenely underrated channel with superb presentation and content. Keep going, this rocks so hard
Thank you!
Agreed.
There so many huge channels out there doing long-form "retrospectives", but too afraid of "politics" to make any sort of commentary beyond just describing the gameplay, summarizing the plot, etc. So youtube is flooded with 4 hour videos that have *_absolutely nothing to say._* And their viewers gush with praise because they just want some background noise.
This channel actually deserves to blow up, and it's just a matter of time.
While I haven't played this game yet, it's been on my radar for ages (so long that I forgot about it despite having actually purchased a computer that can handle it in the interim.) This is a hell of a passion project, and despite your own admission that you don't think this will get a lot of views, I hope you're wrong.
I've been bingeing your long form reviews lately, (it helps that you just happen to cover my favorite games,) and I think your subscriber count hasn't caught up to your writing quality. This is what game reviews should look like, and this is the kind of critical eye that helps cement the medium for truly being able to elevate to the level of fine art. I personally think your insight and inclination to connect concepts in games to meaningful subject material in the real world puts you in the same arena as people like Jacob Geller, and I hope you find your way to a similar level of success.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I hope I’m wrong too, but…
Jacob has been a polestar for me since I restarted my channel with his weaving of life and game in a way I couldn’t quite conjugate years ago. Each new review gets me closer. Thanks again!
My own personal cynicism is using Prey's "Mind Games" song as my alarm clock, every morning before work.
Nick, this one was fantastic. I've been a fan of yours for a few years. I'll watch pretty much anything you put out. I don't know anything about this game, and truthfully it doesn't look like anything I'd find appealing. Your zeal hooked me immediately and I thought I'd give it a shot. If it sucked I'd just rewatch your Deus Ex vids for a palate cleanser. I didn't expect the real life emotions. I had to really process this before commenting.
You brought out so much from this Cutter's perspective. As humbled as I am to have my contribution mentioned in you review, you put even more lenses on this seemingly simple "go here, do this" game. I didn't realize how deep it could be, and whether you meant to invoke one or not I found myself in a mild existential crisis about my own working experiences. What's the goal of my work? Who will miss me when I'm inevitably gone? Can I break free or do I owe my soul to the company store?
The "deck stacked against you" motif rings out over and over in Hardspace, and in my quick dismissal of it I missed a fair bit of the nuances. You're making money, but you owe money. Far beyond Fry's "You gotta spend money to make money" remark in Futurerama, this reminds me of how every year we get a 2-3% cost of living adjustment, then insurance goes up by %1.25 or so, almost nullifying an already paltry "raise." I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel envious when the Cutter "finishes" work and gets to own his future, deciding what to do next. Will I get to that point? Will I get to spray paint "I am not [REDACTED] property" on my office desk and set off for the vast vacuous unknown? Your personal situation brought out at the ending was poignant. The "Good Luck Nick" cake on its own was a mixture emotions!
On lighter notes, I love the Pop Up Video bits of your mug explaining or elaborating. Can we expect more of those? And the outro tips of your own experience was a nice touch. That wipe at 01:26:20 is the most high-tech thing ever, you're becoming quite the technical editor.
Thank you so much, what an incredible insight as well. You'll be seeing more and more and more of everything, including that final cutaway, which took 95 takes, going forward.
Yeah those popup talking heads were great fun. Keep em up!
Man there may be something wrong with me. But for a while I’d come home from my retail job, open a beer, and take apart a spaceship. This game is zen as hell, I’d put on a podcast and just auto-pilot this one. I enjoyed it, but I wish there were a few more ships in the campaign, it was a pain doing the Javelin
agreed. Would do much the same... I think it's because it's the game doesn't really tax you mentally, so it lets you unwind with a progression/dopamine reward, and provides a bit of sense of accomplishment.
Watching this video a year after release, it's kinda sad to see how your prediction, that this wouldn't receive a lot of views, turned out true. But I'm glad you made this video and I'm glad I watched it. And maybe my like and comment will drive the algorithm to share it around a little more.
Thank you.
Thank YOU!
50:50 this is really sad, I love your video essays, and they are VERY well done, its sad you don't get many views.
Lots of algorithm tweaking and not the most luck. But I’m trying!
@@NthReview well I'm really enjoying your back log, keep at it man.
Aww dude those nacelle extractions still give me PTSD thinking about them. Is it weird I kinda wanna go do it again?
No sir, dive back in lol. I actually did one last night for a RACE
That remark about the reward of doing a good job just being others work, i can relate to that so much, however you forgot to mention the lack of pay that comes with it, at best its a pat on the back and an "Atta boy!"
Amazing review really! I am glad for the personal touches. Thank you, please continue with your amazing reviews.
Thank you!
imo master jack is like a floating platform that can travel to designate location. when you flying around master jack you will see booster in all direction which mean it design for short distant all direction transportation. and to build each hab for one person is harder than build a big bulky part of space station that you working on and designate it cutter area. at least they give each cutter a seperate room i think?
Glad to see the new review. Looking forward to watching tomorrow after work.
Hey just wanted to say your videos are all very consistent and great to watch, keep it up :)
Thank you!
You are the only youtuber I'm willing to pause my ad blocker for. Wish I could do Patreon but times are real tough. Keep up the good work!
You gotta do what you gotta do! Thank you!
I think I will go pick up a copy of this, but one thing really gets me from everything I hear about this. Everyone that talks about the job side of this game has either a retail, or art, or journalism background and seem really masochistically into just how bad their job is/was. I get that the trades don't play games too much outside of the germans and forklift simulator. But being a journeyman in heavy industry there's a kind of zen that happens when you get busy with what you're working on. And on big projects, things happen slowly, so compressing an entire workday into just 15minutes really makes sense.
That’s a good comparison!
If the inside of ship is pressurized then that would lead to expansion of the inner hull. If you place the reactors and some sensitive navigational tools on the outer hull, it may be dangerous to have the inner hull expanding into and touching, chafing, or damaging the tools in the outer hull. So this could explain why the outer hull is pressurized to mitigate this kind of issue.
Yeah I know it's a video game.
But what a video game!
@@NthReview Exactly here's hoping you get more subs from one dead end job leaving coworker to the next.
@@rubdulbah3201 cheers!
Working for yourself and being your own boss can still be work, and it is often even more work than working for somebody. Anyone who has been responsible for an operation involving multiple workers can attest to this.
Oh, absolutely, which is why you shouldn’t have to “self-make” yourself into a millionaire just tk be comfortable in life
Ahhhh. I will watch the video once I finish the game. Don't want anything spoiled for me. I only played the first hour at my friends and it is on my list now
Hey NTH a small tip, you can use buttons to use hands in this game, dont remember but it was like z and x i think? And you can either pull yourself through the insides of the ships without thrusters, stabilize yourself to spinning ship so you dont cut bad because it rolled away, or to cushion yourself against incoming impact if you pull yourself too hard against something, or something flies at you after explosion for example 😂
The hands I knew about but I wasn't quite sure what they were really useful for. Of course, if you've out in the void unable to press against anything, you sure are screwed lol.
@@NthReview Well, pull against something with puller and hands to brace, works most of the time, not always though
its in the current humble bundle choice - so if you haven't subscribed so far, maybe its a good time to do so?
Great video! I really enjoyed this game, also bought this in early access and have played it alot. But i was a bit suprised with the anticapitalist storyline, and really liked it. Its a very good game and i thoroughly enyojed your video
Thank you! A lot of heart went into this one.
You have convinced me to buy this game.
1:08:10 and on : I think it adds to the corpo-realism of your situation as a player. You are routinely destroying potential sentient life for scraps. No mention of it, no acknowledgment, nothing to talk about. Banality of evil and all that.
May the day come soon where the last thing we work hard to do is to abolish hard work.
Genuinely, the ending felt among the most fan-servicey it could be, at least according to my and DJ peach cobblers view. I felt this could've been a greater commentary about the horrors that this company can put you through, and the fact that they can outright clone you when you die, instead of even death being your final resting point... It feels WAY too happy. Here's dj peach cobblers review: ua-cam.com/video/mrfZ9KFl3FE/v-deo.html
I can't wait to watch this, thanks for posting another review!
You're very welcome!
I remember when I was in school a few years ago and we went to PAX east and I met the guys making this game. They were all super cool and I got to play it for like 5 minutes and failed miserably 😂
my quarterly nth review fix hell yeah
That’s what your Patreon dollar gets you!
on the giant bomb thing, have you reached out to Jeff gertsmann or the nextlander crew? they're out now so might be interesting?
Yep, have gotten no response over the past few months.
@@NthReview fair, the whole thing seems pretty shit so imagine they're not keen to rehash. Looking forward to the video though!!
Another great review! Thank you
Thank you!!
I have chained hull oanels like in the intro before
Seems like a very interesting game... might just pick it up. Great review..
Man I wish this had a physical release.
Why?
Thought on “why mouse and keyboard?”: the NES released at the beginning of my second year of grad school, so I missed the entire console genre. I’ve never used a controller for anything…except a couple of hours learning just how useless I was ever going to be with them. Yeah, six degrees-of-freedom on a keyboard is sub-optimal, but who has time to learn new muscle memory?
As a PC gamer since 1996 who had a joystick on his desk back then, the advantage of playing with the right controller is much greater than the time lost learning it and building that muscle memory. So many games are finding parity across all platforms so it's very advantageous to use a controller over KB/M. I've had an Xbox controller hooked up to my controller for years.
@@NthReview Wow, I haven’t thought about joysticks in forever. I think my last one was when I bought my first non-Mac computer…so I could play Wing Commander 1. Yah, me= old.
What game was on the screen at 1:18:55?
Satisfactory
I hope you hit 1,000,000 subscribers bro, your videos are so good
Thank you!
Yeah, I agree. Keep up the great work!
Amazon is a pretty shit job. Paid the least out of all the other delivery driver jobs and you do twice the work usually. Nothing beats cleaning rotten food from gutters out of a jack in the box though 😅
I liked this game so much that I had the debt paid off before finishing the campaign and getting the union payout.
I've always been tempted to try this game out; feels like I'd enjoy it.
You should!
On the flip side you have the japanese system where once employed your more or less garenteed employment for life. so little gets done due to layers and layers of bureaucracy. there's a balance and what you suggest is not the answer.
I’m glad you disagree with something I didn’t even mention, much less advocate for. Good job.
@@NthReview You literally spent several minutes ranting about how easy it is to fire someone. How 'bad' this is, and how there must be some way to make it harder.
I point out that in japan they have this system and it out right sucks. you're not fired unless you do something horrendously wrong. corporations are even more of a hive of bureaucracy as each middling manager has little to do, yet can't be removed. And a LARGE youth population exists there who want to work, but literally can't because the jobs are filled with people companies can't get rid of for someone better or new blood. So they have to wait till the person literally 'dies'.
So nice gas-lighting. though to be fair, i do share some blame. I ignored the giant red flag that you know little of economics when you called the game a 'end stage capitalism sim.' I do hope you never see how curl your chosen ideology is compared to the one you think is so bad, yet suck the teat of.
I definitely want to playthis game now!
You should!!!
Noice. I'm glad someone made a love letter to the game. I really enjoyed it.
Thank you!
good video and the job /wook part it 1000% truh only problem if you get to old you cant get out of those low income jobs
"And as an american we need money...." umm if there is some mythical country where this is not the case please point in that direction 😂
Other countries have social safety nets so people aren’t as screwed out of their necessities lol
Mood about retail work. No one respects service industry employees. There's just no respect.
Oh, as a CorpoRat myself I will probably enjoy or dread this video.
Tell me more on the other side!
health insurance lmao NHS BOIIIII
Me 30 mins in: why'd I only use the needle beam?
Lol, oh no
@@NthReview lol yeah, when I saw how fast the split version cut the cut-points my jaw dropped
@@Livingeidolon buahahhahaha!
My job invites terrible moments on the regular. Working with at-risk kids can be risky and dangerous, depending on the population - I've been bitten, kicked, punched, spit on, had things thrown at me. I've been stuck on the side of a county road after dark in rural Colorado with a 14-year-old girl who decided to walk 60 miles home rather than sit where asked in our van. If that wasn't enough, this kind of work "is its own reward," meaning "we're going to take advantage of well-intended people who will work for peanuts." It's for the birds, but unfortunately, they are right - I will work for peanuts, because I do want to help people rather than work to make someone rich.
Wow, you did change the title
I wouldn’t let you down.
Man this hit me hard. I know the feeling of working for a shit company.
Literally turning notifications on just because of your take on labor in the intro. Solidarity ✊
Thank you! Quick Q: did you find this video via UA-cam or through another site?
@@NthReview through UA-cam, your system shock review came up suggested when I was watching another long-form review channel, and UA-cam knows I've watched other content about system shock. Hope that helps!
@@titansquirrel4408 thank you!!! Glad you enjoyed!
Great video and powerful message.
Only 15 min shifts there need up the game and offer a 8h shifts and make it way slower. I am sorry that you get layed off but i am sure lynx is looking for ppl.
And you need to scrap five ships at once, of course.
@@NthReviewsure and got 3 supervisor scream at you at the same time contradictory things while there boss screams at them
@@docdat3468 oh it becomes a cluster f so easily
About thw capitalism anger usa curent systme isnt capitalism anymore. The free amrket being strangled and heavily regulated. Busiensses dealing witht hat. And in ship breaker is another beast as well. The legal statements and various things wouldn't fly usually.
What
Anti-Capitalist games are so, so insanely stupid.
Guise we hate capitalism too! So, BUY THIS GAME ON THE COMPUTER YOUR BOUGHT!
Do you like to eat? Thank Capitalism.
It's not anti-capitalist, it's a critique of capitalism. The kind of absolutist thinking you present here is exactly why we can't reach solutions: you're not understanding the problem.
It's easy: just don't live in Murica
The dream is to make things better, one gaming video at a time lol.
@@NthReview I wish you best of luck
woo #antiwork
I'm not gonna take anything that uses the words "late stage capitalism" seriously.
Considering that is a real phrase that has real, tangible effects on the world, you seem to have an arbitrary metric for what you take seriously. I should honestly say “woke” a few times at the beginning of each video to scare away the feckless.
Cutter, be careful now. Don't hit the (Signal Lost)
lol, god...
