    “Hasn’t improved” is a very polite way of putting it, but wouldn’t “gone to shit” be more accurate?

      VGC did machine translate a Japanese interview, I wonder if the interview was more “colorful” in Japanese

        I don’t think he’s particularly strident here or anything in Japanese, but the headline here would have been better off sticking with the MTL translated “nothing has changed” in the article.

        There isn’t any optimism in Matsuno’s words here. I would have added “as always” to “economic disparity remains the same” and “again” to his comments about armed conflicts. He sounds tired of the cycle.

    That game played a major role in my outlook today. ❤️
