1000%, its how they establish pecking order amongst themselves.

Like the rest of the world doesn't consume violent media/video games/music recreationally...

turn off your brain

This has not been my experience with practically any Japanese RPG, haha. Each time I've tried to play a Final Fantasy game, I've gotten immediately turned off by the complex menus/rules, and needlessly long "click through" tutorials showing me every menu page with an accompanying small novel of instructions. Its not that I'm afraid of having to learn a game (I'm a big fan of Paradox games if that's any indicator), I just find the presentation of it all such a slog.

Its so disheartening how well its working

I will say, I would not want to be a software developer right now, but systems support is generally pretty stable (and less likely to be replaced by AI any time soon)

I almost added this as a point in my original comment, but you're absolutely right, and its happening in other industries too (auto, for example). Its really tough to troubleshoot things you lack the permissions to fix.

I meant it a more general sense as anyone involved with the software development life cycle, but I see your point, good catch

An unfortunate consequence of developers playing to the lowest common denominator of users for the last twenty years. Everything has been designed to be as easy and intuitive as possible for mobile, and troubleshooting skills have suffered as a result.

Not to mention that phones are crazy powerful and can do virtually everything these days, so fewer and fewer people are buying PCs.

If the general population is indeed "going backwards" in regards to tech literacy, it seems like demand for IT services is going to spike in the coming years. Good thing to keep in mind for young people choosing a career path!

My point is that, in the US, other organizations that accept charity have to produce documentation detailing their spending. Religious organizations should be held to the same standard.

Would be nice if we had some kind of visibility into that, huh?

Fine, here then: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wealthiest_religious_organizations

Nice! Glad you got it sorted, happy printing!
