The devs themselves are fine. It’s the leadership that’s cancer. Abusive leadership in Korean companies is actually a pretty well known issue. It’s just more self-destructive in game companies, which I have direct experience with. So they did a lot to me and my friends. And said friends shared their stories of other Korean game companies.
You’re absolutely right to question, especially with my level of anger, but I’m confident this one is justified.
You’re absolutely right. I was too focused. I crossed that out in my comment. Thanks
Very fair point. I was a bit hyper-focused. Will edit my previous comment
Just gonna copy paste my comment on a related post…
Similar shit happened when they were PUBG Corporation. Fuck these lying assholes. Player Unknown was a smart, capable dude, and they exiled him to a remote office because he got pissed at the CEO for over-monetizing things in a way that cost them players.
When they released the battle pass while the game was retail, all of the non-Korean employees nearly revolted. It wasn’t smart, and it was a money grab on the players. When the team lead of market research told the product manager that the feature was a bad idea and would lose them all their Western players, the product manager got him demoted and moved to another team.
When the numbers didn’t look good, the data analysts were freaking out because they couldn’t deliver bad news up the chain of command, even if it was accurate.
When they acquired Mad Glory, they promised that the dev team would still be contracted to other game companies to build APIs and tools for them, keeping the game industry tooling ecosystem healthy (think op.gg). When PUBG Corporation acquired them, the company canceled their contract with Bethesda for the API they were in the middle of building and forbade them from working with other companies.
Fuck Bluehole. Fuck PUBG Corporation. Fuck Krafton. Fuck game studios in Korea. Don’t play Korean games. Kpop and cosmetics and whatever are chill. Don’t play Korean games. Korean game companies are fucking cancer.
Don’t buy Subnautica 2. The Subnautica franchise died when Krafton became the publisher.

Bwahahahha you guys are spectacular. Thank you for making my evening :D
And I’ll take that ork house. Might need more dakka, though
I’m with you on this. I generally disfavor candidates that are clearly telling me what they think I want to hear. I used to favor candidates who mentioned “I gotta get paid.” Unfortunately, the new boss does not like that, so I gotta ditch that :(
This is the winner for me.
I’m a manager, and I do my best to make things fulfilling, productive, physically and psychologically safe, and minimally stressful. I’m not the capitalist, so I don’t have full control. But if those of us closer to the ground try to make the way we work more bearable, it can have an impact on the immediate surroundings.
But yeah, we do need to fix the overarching system, since we don’t have full control in this one.
This.
Lived in Korea for awhile, and they generally seem to not have this kind of vindictiveness or self-righteousness. They’re usually like, “I dunno. Either they got a reason, or it’s not worth the effort for me to do something about it.”
That said, social pressure is much more effective here, so the vast majority of people fall in line. See COVID
Money. It encourages greed, but it allows us to scale exchange of goods and services far more than we otherwise could
Had to scroll too far to find Korea.
Been here since 2016. It can be tough finding a job at a not shitty company, but once you do, it’s pretty sweet.
But if you’re in your 20s and dating, be prepared for all the bullshit. It gets better in your 30s, though there are still customs you need to figure out.
Housing is expensive in Seoul, and real estate agents may scam you, so find a Korean friend.
Otherwise, it’s great. People are nice to foreigners. Public transit in Seoul and most of the country is amazing. Everything is super convenient. You can get away without learning the language, but at least try to get to a basic level. The foreigner community is pretty cool. Healthcare is excellent. I love it here.
I gave an example that I thought was pretty similar to the comic. But reasonable people could differ on that one.
War certainly breeds hate, I’ll give you that. And in today’s world, most leaders generate hate to drive people towards war. But I guess a real world, contemporary example could be Ukraine. Many Russians don’t want to be on the battlefield, or so I’ve read. Many Ukrainians feel like they have no choice to defend their homes and loved ones. I wonder if there are Ukrainians that don’t hate their Russian counterparts, though they’re fighting them. I imagine there at least have to be a few. I dunno.
In any case, I don’t think either of us is budging in our beliefs here. I hope neither of us ever ends up in this kind of situation, and I hope we can avoid wishing death on people, hating them or not. Have a great day, my dude
I’m glad you haven’t been in that situation and hope you never are.
I disagree on its relevance. In such a situation, it would make sense to have the desire to kill that soldier, but you might not hate him. Does that make sense? I’m asking you to use your imagination of such a situation and how you might feel about it. If you think you would feel or behave differently, I’m all ears
How would you feel if you were in a war, defending your country and family, where the attacking soldiers were conscripts and didn’t want to be fighting you in the first place?
I pose a different thought: there are different ways to want someone’s death.
There’s wishing someone is dead because you hate them.
There’s wishing someone is dead because there is no other way to stop the harm they’re causing.
On the outside, it’s hard to tell the difference, but I think it’s profoundly different internally. In my opinion, the former lacks deeper thought. I think most people genuinely believe that whatever they’re doing is good, or at least justified.
To a large degree, we are shaped by our environment. Yes, we can argue free will, but there’s always a bias. It’s similar to what Christians told me when I was a kid when I asked if indigenous tribes in the middle of nowhere could be saved by Jesus. Teachers told me, “well, they can find God/Jesus in the world around them.” Like… theoretically, that’s not impossible, but realistically, no. If there’s some kid growing up being told his whole life that black people are evil and want to hurt him, and the only time he sees or meets black people are in hostile situations… what else is he going to believe? Should we excuse him? His actions, absolutely not. Him as a person… no… i think…? But how do we solve that? Should we just obliterate the population that kid was a part of? I don’t have a great answer.
Basically, I think we should avoid hating people, and you can wish someone to die without hating them. The sheep can wish for the wolf to be dead so the sheep can be safe, but the wolf has to eat, too.
I learned a thing. Thank you.
I argue that this is due to the poor definition of a coastline. I don’t know why. I go into problem solving mode, and I’m like… yeah… poorly defined problem. Root cause found… uhh… now what. Coastline starts at where water reaches only high tide? No. Continental shelf? Certainly not. Point where building foundations are no longer stable? Maybe, but I don’t know enough… yet.
… is this ADHD? Seriously, my psychiatrist thought I was right on the border. I dunno
Edit: I’m dumb and misunderstood the problem. Disregard me
This. I work at a medical computer vision company, and our system performs better, on average, than radiologists.
It still needs a human to catch the weird edge cases, but studies show humans plus our model have a super high accuracy rate and speed. It’s perfect because there’s a global radiologist shortage, so helping the radiologists we have go faster can save a lot of lives.
But people are bad at nuance. All AI is like LLMs -_-
You wanna cite your sources for that? Every time I see nice images from NK, there’s no people. Contrast that with Seoul, where I can’t get away from people 😅
Why take this personally…? There are so many ways to perceive this:
Like… why did you think this was targeting you?
Right, but where is that record kept? Who keeps it? Who can change it?
Keep your own records independently of the company. Include when events happen and when you record/write them. Place them somewhere separately that you have limited access to, so no one can claim you made them up later.
Track your trip time. Track your gas. Track the decisions you make (example: fill up now vs later) and why you made them. Track inspections and their results. I’m sure there’s more you can track, but I’m not a trucker. You know better than I do
Maybe you’re already doing this, but I couldn’t tell from your comment.
AI is often wrong. Sensors often get bad readings. It may falsely record bad behavior, so you need your own records to combat it.
