I’m proud and happy for the team for the progress that’ve shown. It just shows how close to perfection you have to be to compete with City in the league. With a few players leaving, and new signings, hopefully we can go again next season.
I always think about how after a manager like Wenger, the club, like Man Utd were in transition, we’ve found the right guy to progress the club in Arteta after getting rid of one manager. On the other foot, Man Utd are still trying to find their guy.
I only compare the two, due to how long the managers for these clubs have been in place, and how much overall control they had from top to bottom.
Onto the next season.

Recently, I came to a realization of how to make an interesting character (at least in my opinion anyways).

• Start with a profession you'd like to do in game (e.g., merchant, lumberjack, hunter, chef, etc).
• Pick a theme for your character (e.g., secret agent, samurai, fighter who wants to roll a ton of d6's, archer, etc).
• Pick a race and class that thematically compliments your choices, not enhance (i.e., give yourself another tool to interact with the world, don't focus on enhancing something further).

Does anyone else have any incredibly simple things they do to help them make cool characters?
Prior to doing this, I was always trying to min-max and flesh out characters in such detail that it made them incredibly boring to play. That said, these days I'm the DM for the group and I've got a lot of pent-up excitement to play myself so I've been designing characters for fun.
So, some of the example characters I've been playing around with (all level 3):

• Samurai variant human with chef feat who is a mastermind rogue. They like to cook the creatures they kill, they use a rapier (flavored as a katana), they use the Ready action to not make the first move (honorably). They're also able to bonus action Help, forge documents, and disguise themselves to support the team.
• A kender arcane archer fighter who is a grizzled veteran hunter. They taunt enemies from across the battlefield to force them to walk across the whole thing to fight them or face disadvantage. They track, kill, and skin goblins collecting their leather because they believe goblins are holy creatures who have magical properties that must be harness. They make potions from their blood and armor from their leather; but who knows what, if any, bonuses they give. He's secretly the laughing stock of his artisan guild, but people are too intimidated to laugh at him is his presence.
• A changeling oath of the crown paladin who is lawful neutral and believes that the law of the natural world is that if you aren't taking advantage of someone, they're taking advantage of you (though has found some symbiotic relationships can occur, so he's not an annoying a-hole to party with). He's a traveling merchant who wants to become a better deal maker than the devil himself. Deals are everything and he even aspires to become the patron of one or more warlocks (if the DM wants to allow that). He's a changeling who spends his time looking like a devil he saw once, but takes a similar looking human form to blend in and not draw attention. He brews his own beer to get customers drunk and more willing to sign deals.
• A shadar-kai aberrant mind sorcerer who used to be a martial fighter trained with the glaive, but a powerful wizard's soul found him and bound itself to him. He now has magical fire and mental powers for spellcasting. Spells just kind of cast sometimes without anyone realizing it's going to happen (i.e., Subtle spell + flavor). He finds himself picking herbs and making potions that he knows nothing about due to the wizard soul's presence as well.

The 2023–24 season is Chelsea Football Club's 118th year, and 35th consecutive season in the top flight of English football.
In addition to the domestic league, Chelsea participated in this season's editions of the FA Cup and EFL Cup; they are not participating in any UEFA competition for the first time since the 2016–17 season, having finished in 12th position in the league in the previous campaign.
Prior to this season, former Chelsea captain César Azpilicueta left the club at the end of his contract after 11 consecutive seasons, signing for Atlético Madrid in his native Spain. Chelsea academy graduate Reece James replaced him as club captain before the new season opened in July.

Dude clearly needs a change of scenery. Both figuratively and literally. Can you imagine being a superstar NHLer and your 2 home cities have been Winnipeg and Columbus Ohio? I know he’s going through some soul searching, but he’s a season removed from being a PPG player.
If we can package a deal that has Columbus retain some of that salary, we can give him a young, upcoming team without the stardom pressure to pull us out of a rut. A little bit of California sunshine, surrounded by exciting young stars he can compliment and get back to playing fun hockey again. He has fellow countryman Granlund who can welcome and mentor him and help him revitalize his career like he’s been able to do.
Celebrini, Smith and Bystedt need a lethal winger they can feed, and he’s a big body, something Grier seems to favor.
I have no idea what the logistics look like, but bringing in a young right handed sniper that can become a complimentary piece to the Celebrini era would be excellent. Would mirror the Taylor Hall signing in Chicago imo and signify to the team we are trending back towards being an offensive threat again.
Thoughts? Am I crazy?

Thanks for reading!

This is an email I sent to head office HR. Got no response and no action was taken, so therefore it was ignored:
Dear [Head of HR],
This is regarding a more serious issue, as you may or guessed from the title. I feel I need to raise this it's possible this might not of been the first time something similar has happened to me.
After about a month of arriving at [location of work] I became a training buddy due to my years of experience at cinemas and I have now been performing this duty for many years. Shortly after joining [cinema brand] I became a member of the projection team, then during the change over to digital projection I became a digital buddy
Recently the duties have been revamped for both roles, but I have been left out of this. I have discussed this with [Twit of a GM] (our new general manager) and he completely ignored any knowledge of all of the hard work I had been doing in these roles over the years. (I informed him that I am a buddy after the first staff meeting) and he stated that I haven't been do the two jobs recently.
I must state it's hard to do the job of digital buddy, for example when during a power out the important information that you have given to the manager is ignored. leading to further problems.
The digital buddy has to be invited to do their job to delete old files from the server, chase KDMs, and such, so how am I meant to do that job without the invite (it's only in the past week or two that [co-worker] has been allowed to do the deletes. I helped in training [co-worker] on how to do digital projection when he came to [location of work])
In the training buddy section of my job I train new staff when they come in, sometimes management will provide me the forms for the trainee to fill in and sometimes not, this prevents me from correctly performing the signing off of new staff. The management have never informed me of this new box system (which has been implemented only a short time ago), but they have been treating me as a trainer and I have been training people.
[Twit of a GM] says that because I haven't been using the box system I'm not a trainer, even though I have been performing that role.
[Twit of a GM] has said my up selling is up and down every week, which doesn't set a good standard (yet at the same time saying up selling isn't the reason for not allowing me to be a buddy).
He complimented me on my customer service saying it was the best, but then insulted the way I look and implied that no one would come to me for help, this is quite bizarre as after talking to him I asked my co-workers that day and they were confused as to why he would say that as they always come to me when I'm there.
To tell you the truth that saying that colleagues do not seek my assistance was the biggest insult to me and is clearly untrue. I try to solve problems before the need to the manager whenever I can.
Regarding my appearance, one shirt they gave me is too baggy but I tuck it in and my other shirt is too small but it looks better in comparison so I try to wear that one (shirt sizing seems to be a problem).
[Twit of a GM] informed that when he arrived at the site he was introduced to the managers and buddies at the time (I do not know as to why I was not there, but it could be something to do with [Old Dumbass GM], who seemed to have a problem with me because I had requested to move sites and he refused the transfer, or it could have been something else as I was never given a satisfactory reason.
There were other instances of [Old Dumbass GM] behaviour towards me, I provided many ideas to improve the cinema but these were generally ignored.
It is interesting to note that many of the other managers have known that I am a digital and training buddy, but [Twit of a GM] and a select few disregard this fact.
I feel that I have been demoted not via any official means, but according to the whims of a few members of the management team.
Soon after [Twit of a GM]’s arrival at [location of work] I was asked about my sick days and I answered honestly the sick days were necessary and I have gone over this with another manager. Every time I have been sick, if I have had to visit the hospital (which I was forced to do so by a manager once because of chest pains) I have sent in pictures of the forms and any other information they may need (I still have the emails with all the information I gave). But for some reason I get the feeling am I looked at by him as if I am dishonestly taking those sick days.
Now this is in my file and I have talked to at least one manager at [location of work] (and one at [another location of worked when needed for an event], now), I have dyslexia with dyspraxic tendencies and also suffer with depression, these are very personal I feel that these are being used against me as they make me very vulnerable to being discriminated against. [Twit of a GM] response was that he doesn't know of any of this (which seems to be a line I heard too many times in that meeting).
I've put a lot of time and effort and sometime money in to my job (I brought pens for every person and labeled them so each person would have a pen. I brought torches to light the hawking trolley. I created a spreadsheet to help in the rotation of the posters, etc) and many joked I lived at the cinema as I was there so much, but now I have managed to have a life outside of the cinema and my job responsibilities are been taken away, despite all the years I have put in, it is very disheartening to think my efforts have been wasted
I am certainly not progressing at my current site, and I feel my skills and experience are being wasted. I am only allowed to perform duties I am qualified for when it is convenient to the management.
I suggest the best thing would be for me to get a transfer to a site closer to [location of where live] and be reinstated to the role of Digital and training buddy. If possible I would like to work in the [another location of worked when needed for an event] sites as I miss working in the [another location of worked when needed for an event] and I enjoyed the times I worked at the [another location of worked when needed for an event] site as well as visiting the [different cinema location] site (I have talked to [cool manager] once or twice saying I would love to work with her once again). If not [[a nice cinema location I did some projection cover for] would be nice (where I trained some managers how to use the digital projectors).
Please if you could help me that would be great.
Sincerely,
Pensivegamez

Its been 3 months, around 20 failed interviews, 2 offers and alot of time spent catching up with the FE game, just thought its time to share my experience and help some out.
Screening round: Be clear of what you did before, your past employers/projects/teams size, team structure. Show your value (system design, tech stack decision, best features you implemented, planning, coaching, etc...) Prepare the Challenge/Most difficult problem kind of questions. HR might not understand how good you are at Typescript juggling but they want to at least understand you can communicate well with the people waiting for you on your next round. They dont want to introduce someone who cant speak clearly or apprehensive. It annoys their manager and is bad for their year end review.
Technical questions: Ok I will try to go into most FE related stuff now
JS: events loop, async, DOM manipulation are must learn!
React: Some old timer did come up so at least read about them: pure component, HOC. Then the usual stuff: hooks, memo, best practices (props passing instead of local state, components over props, explicit state over variants). Know your side effect, DOM tree, when does React rerender, why state shouldnt be overused. State management: Redux, zustand, react query, contextAPI. What to choose, when to choose.
Vue, NextJS: Similar to React questions, but expect to give comparision between these and React. Especially if you are asked about Next, then be prepared to talk about folder structure, file based routing, and of course SSR and server actions, why data fetching with server is faster than client side fetch. Hydration, invalidation, error boundary.
Testing/Reporting/Web Vitals: Unit test with Jest is NOT enough. You are expected to explain through the entire testing stack: Catching bugs, unit test, integration test, CSS test. Some toolings like Sentry/GCP/Sonarqube are expected too. Know your Chrome dev tool well too especially the network tab (!) waterfall, fetch, response, header etc... Have an opinion about when to unit test vs e2e
Webpack/Optimization Not usual to hear about Webpack anymore but still you should know what it does with your JS files, bundling, treeshaking, dependencies map, code splitting, polyfill...
Deploy Even if its the job of the dev ops guy in your team, you should still at least understand the build/deploy process, dockerizing an app, the content inside .yml files. They will ask questions like when do you perform test in your pipeline, release process, dev/prod environments, how API keys are stored on cloud... Dont get caught off guard!
Micro-frontend/Cloud: These started slowly leaking into the job of a FE dev about 3-4 years ago but now they are asked almost everytime. If you never worked with micro-front end before, use shadcn/ui for example or at least know that its very common for company to have multiple React projects (UI kit v1, UI kit v2, Form kit, client app, legacy app, etc...) and they want you to be comfortable with develop them in parallel. Also learn the basic of deploying on Vercel or AWS to not raise any red flag of a knowledge void.
If you sign up for senior position, prepare to talk about coaching, short term long term planning, change request management, stake holder expectation.
NOT once I was tested about Tyepscript eventho this is one of the toughest shit to deal with in real projects.
Live coding: Leetcode is inevitable. If your lucky, they will ask one or two questions such: how to filter duplicates in an array. You need to practice this and if you dont know where to start, udemy, youtube has some pretty good courses. At the end you should learn by heart to solve the most common problems: Anagram, String Frequency, Two Sum, Remove Duplicate... And at the very least you can tell the interviewer the approach into problem solving (2 pointers, sliding window, divide conquer..) and explain big O. Most of the time, interviewer dont require you to solve problems with good efficiency. So nested for loops or built in JS functions are totally ok.
Take home assigment: One thing that isnt asked or mention in the earlier rounds but always come up in take homes is working with API API API API!!! I have to really stretch this because it might or might not burn you. The commons tasks will be: Connect to the company or some third party API, fetch data, do some data transformation, build some decent UI for the data. If you get the generic stuff like MockJSON, TMDB then you are lucky. There could be trickier stuff like Notion, Stripe, Spotify that requires auth and quite some data transform then it might take you alot of time. Depending how familiar you are with it. My advice: Have your own node server boilerplate ready. Better yet just use NextJS for both server and client. Use at least one state management package (zustand or react-query is fine) Practice setting these up by building smaller Next app (auth, fetch, folder[slug], routing) so when the time comes you can execute it fast. Never ever overlook UI and responsive design. I fucked one up when I built all features perfectly but didnt make the UI to spec like their requirement. One more tip: Once you submit your assignment to github and time is up, as long as you dont hear any feedback from the company, keep improving the app and merge the changes. Make it perfect if you can!
For the rest: Know your taxes and rate. Prompt ChatGPT to prepare you for anything you are unsure about. Its especially good at solving, giving direction in leetcode questions once you already understand the basic. Good luck!

I know this might be controversial, but I have to get this off my chest: I really don't enjoy most of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). While it's undeniably a cultural juggernaut and has brought superhero movies to the forefront of popular culture, I find the endless crossovers, massive ensemble casts, and sprawling, interconnected storylines to be overwhelming and, at times, formulaic.
However, there's a significant exception to my Marvel fatigue: I absolutely love X-Men and Spider-Man. These franchises stand out to me for several reasons:

1. X-Men: The X-Men series deals with deep and resonant themes like prejudice, acceptance, and the struggle for equality. The characters, many of whom are outcasts or misunderstood, provide a rich narrative that mirrors real-world social issues. Each mutant’s power is unique and often symbolizes personal challenges or societal perceptions. The dynamics within the team, the clash of ideologies between Professor X and Magneto, and the exploration of identity and belonging all make X-Men stories incredibly compelling to me.
   
2. Spider-Man: Spider-Man’s story has always struck a chord with me because it’s grounded in personal struggle and responsibility. Peter Parker is a relatable character - a young person juggling the pressures of everyday life with the immense responsibility that comes with his powers. The mantra "with great power comes great responsibility" is not just a catchphrase but a guiding principle that shapes his character and decisions. His rogues' gallery, full of complex and often tragic villains, adds depth to his story arcs, making them more than just simple good vs. evil tales.
   

Both X-Men and Spider-Man focus more on character development and personal stories, which I find more engaging than the grand, often universe-threatening plots of the broader MCU. These characters and their individual journeys provide a more intimate and emotional experience, which I feel is sometimes lost in the larger MCU narrative.
Am I alone in feeling this way? Do any of you also prefer the more personal and character-driven stories of X-Men and Spider-Man over the grand spectacles of the MCU? I’d love to hear your thoughts and see if there are others who share my perspective!

Sorry if some of the stuff sounds stupid or AI-like I am not of the native tounge of English and I used one of the Google chat bots to fix up the story all the information is correct and is probably a better read anyway, just need some advice on how I should go about this weekend, I planned on staying but maybe I should leave with the kids, well act like I'm leaving and set up cameras? Ee had cameras but I took them all out after rearranging the garage years ago.
I remember it like it was yesterday, the first time I met Sarah. It was late in my freshman year of high school, and I had just made the varsity baseball team. That was a big deal for me, being the starting second baseman as a freshman. The attention and popularity came with it, but I was laser-focused on the game. Then came the charity game, where our baseball team played against the softball team to raise money for the children’s hospital. That’s where I first saw Sarah. She was the first baseman for her team, and I couldn’t deny she was beautiful. A lot of the guys on my team were talking about her, trying to get her number. But I wasn’t interested in that; I was focused on winning the game.
During the game, after I hit a single, I ended up on first base where Sarah was playing. I didn’t think much of it at the time. I didn’t acknowledge her at all, not even after the game or during the pre-game meeting to discuss the rules. Apparently, that caught her attention. She told me later that out of all the guys who tried to talk to her, I was the only one who didn’t, and that intrigued her.
A few weeks after the game, Sarah asked me to prom. She had gotten tickets from her best friend, who was a junior and didn’t want to go. I wasn’t the type to turn down a dance, so I said yes. Little did I know, that night would change everything. That night, we lost our virginity to each other, and for the rest of our freshman year and the summer, we were inseparable. We found every possible place to sneak off and be together – closets in school, secluded spots on campus, anywhere we could be alone. Sarah had a high sex drive, and I was more than happy to keep up with her.
Looking back, it was our intense physical connection and the fact that I didn’t chase her like the other guys that brought us together. Our relationship was solidified with moments like our first prom, skipping school to be together, eating at different restaurants, and getting each other promise rings that summer. And, of course, the charity game where we first met.
But it wasn’t always smooth sailing. Sarah was very popular, and a lot of guys would text her. She handled it well, always blocking numbers and reassuring me that she only wanted me. She was open and honest, even giving me her phone’s pin. She hated the idea of cheating, and she made it clear that she was committed to me. This reassurance wasn’t really needed, but it was nice to know she felt that way.
Throughout high school, we were in many of the same classes, and we excelled academically. We were partners in group projects and participated in activities together. We were inseparable, and everyone saw us as a perfect couple. Sarah came to as many of my baseball games as she could, and I attended a few of her softball games when I could. My dedication to baseball was intense, and she understood that.
Our school had a partnership with a local college, offering free tuition to students with a GPA of 3.5 or higher. I had a 4.0 GPA, which meant I had plenty of scholarship opportunities. By the time I entered college, I was making about $1,800 per semester from scholarships. Sarah and I decided to attend the same college, not wanting to be burdened with student loans. We lived comfortably during college, and I proposed to her at our graduation ceremony. It was a big deal, and our friends and family were thrilled.
After graduation, I made sure Sarah had the wedding of her dreams. I was already doing well financially, working as a lawyer specializing in insurance cases. I was the sole breadwinner for the first three years of our marriage while Sarah focused on selling items online through her flower store and completing her studies in cosmetics. She enjoyed staying at home and was very appreciative when I renovated our garage into a salon area for her business.
Around our sixth year of marriage, we decided to start a family. Our son, Isaiah, was born first, and he changed my world. Just 18 months later, our daughter, Abigail, came along. Life was good. We had financial stability, and Sarah decided she only wanted two kids after the exhausting experience of Isaiah’s birth. She had her tubes tied, and we settled into our new routine as a family of four.
Fast forward to now, Sarah and I are 35 years old, and our kids are 7 and 5. Recently, I’ve noticed some changes in Sarah’s behavior. She started leaving the kids with friends more often and coming home late. Initially, I assumed she was busy with salon appointments. But there was more to it. Our sex life, which had already slowed down, became almost non-existent. Sarah seemed upset about it, but I planned to make it up to her by spending a weekend together, just the two of us.
Then things got worse. Sarah started coming home very late, sometimes with hickeys on her neck. When I asked about them, she said they were from bee stings. I believed her at first; I’m not well-versed in gardening or bee behavior. But deep down, I knew something wasn’t right. She had always been loyal, and the thought of her cheating never crossed my mind until now.
As I pieced together these changes – the late nights, the unexplained hickeys, and her distant behavior – a feeling of unease settled in. I wanted to believe her, but the inconsistencies were becoming too hard to ignore. It was time to take a closer look at what was really happening.

unless you are a hyper god at sniper or never played sniper, you have no idea how heavily soldier counters sniper, im pretty sure soldiers killed me the most togethere with jetpack pyros whenever i play sniper, even worse if the soldier has any unusual, you can kiss goodbye to having a any fun as sniper, cuz lawd, they will shoot rockets at you first, and when you try to snipe them in that phase, you are eighter desperate or underestimate how annoying rockets, and especially crockets are(i personally enjoy random crits almost every time except when it comes to crockets, because the blast damage is extremely, extremely forgiving, so if there is a rocket comming at you while you are zoomed in and with a wall behind you, you might as well stand still and accept your fate because you cant dodge it if you were scoped in even for a second unless the rocket came from really really far away, like blue spawn to point 1 in Mountain lab, you could probably still dodge that)
TL;DR: Whenever someone talks about how sniper is OP, I have to restrain myself from saying that soldier is OP because I know nobody would understand.
TL;DRv2: I hate rocket splash damage. Demoman grenades are okay tho cuz they actually had to calculate the arch to shoot one at you, so I dont complain about them unless they sticky spam with a pocket medic.
TL;DR-the-trilogy: Fuck the default rocket launcher.
Also, 99.9% of snipers cannot quickscope more than 2 people under 10 seconds unless they are having a really good day. Whenever a sniper sucks or doesn't have top-level performance, you simply don't notice that there was one on the other team or your team, making you notice exclusively good snipers, unlike with the rest of the classes, where ya don't get micro-depressions of being totally useless. Every other class (except spy because lads eighteen don't know how disguises work or try to get exclusively montage-level plays) can still assist the team as long as they know how to shoot and move decently. If ya have a bad game as sniper, all you can do is throw jarate to feel remotely useful, at least ya get thanked by medics and engineers, and sometimes other lads when ya extinguish them.

If you're curious about my thoughts on previous Yakuza games, here are my much shorter (except for 4, thats pretty long too) reviews for Kiwami 1, Kiwami 2, Yakuza 3 (Remastered), and Yakuza 4 (Remastered).
All of my reviews are made pretty quickly after I finish the game, this was written right after I finished but I haven't posted it till a month later because its so long I thought no one would ever read this but whatever I gotta get my truth out there.
Per usual I played the remaster of Yakuza 5. I'm not sure of any outstanding changes or things of note like with 3 or 4, but if something I say is exclusive to the remaster please let me know! I may sound overly praising or overly critical of this game, who knows but please be kind when you tell me i'm an idiot for feeling the way I do! Lastly and most importantly please please please don't spoil future games in the comments! Also warning I'm way too active in the comments section.
Because I am an utter psycho and decided to write a fuckin bibles worth of yakuza 5 ramblings, Part 1 is just reviewing the plot and Part 2 goes over everything else. I split this up last second so there's likely some spots where I say something like "we'll expand on this later" then I never bring it up again, that's because it's probably in part 2. If you want my thoughts on things like the substories, side stories, gameplay, and settings you can read Part 2 here: https://www.reddit.com/yakuzagames/comments/1cvrybw/yakuza_5_a_mega_big_ole_reviewsummary_for_a_big/
The Plot:
Like with Y4, I will discuss my thoughts on each section of the game rather than in one long chunk just because I find it more fun. I'm not even gonna try to not summarize this time because this game is so big it needs broken down.
Part 1: Kiryu
You might often find me compare Y5 to Y4 a lot in this review because they're honestly quite similar games and feel like a package. When I started playing 4 I was worried I wouldn't like playing as primarily strangers for a majority of the game, but one thing they did absolutely right was making Kiryu the final protagonist you play as in that game. So going into 5 I was very apprehensive about starting off with Kiryu, I worried they showed their hand too soon and that it would be difficult to stay invested the whole time.
With this feeling going into the game, I was immediately somewhat losing it over Kiryu being an incognito taxi driver with the worst disguise of all time (some sunglasses and a face mask, don't worry he's literally the only one in the game that seems to think it's a good disguise). Right off the bat, this game feels...sad. Kiryu watching Haruka giving an interview on the TV and storming out rather then defend her to some losers who don't get what ART is, was SAD. This part of the game felt so mundane for awhile, but not in a bad way! You wakeup as Kiryu, walk to work, drive your taxi, and go home late at night (usually) alone. The whole time my eyes were drawn to a facedown picture frame and wondering what it could be, but I certainly had a guess. Kiryu is going through a hard, isolating, and depressing time and you can feel that so well from the game and how they have you play as him. Anyways there's also a random gal named Mayumi that will not leave Kiryu alone despite him asking her to. All you're doing by the end of chapter one is going "Huhhhhhhh?" Anyways Kiryu is approached by two dudes named Morinaga and Aizawa in chapter 2, telling him Daigo was???? Kidnapped?? GASP.. Admittidly I wasn't too fond of this duo at first. One thing that was consistent through my playthrough is that I was completely incapable of predicting anything correctly, and it had felt like these two were gonna be my pals for the rest of the game and I just wasn't clicking with them. Not to mention this weird semi-one sided-romance going on with Mayumi.
In chapter 3, we begin with the most heartbreaking thing that could ever happen to me, Yakuza 3 superfan. Kiryu has been pushed out of running the orphanage by a lady named Miss Park. It's all making sense now. He does it so the orphanage can have money and so Haruka can follow her dreams. DOESNT MAKE IT EASIER TO DEAL WITH FOR ME :( . Then we meet Watase, first thoughts? I was like "god I hope this guy isn't the main villain he's kinda lame" Soon after we meet Aoyama and I thought literally the same thing. Clearly by this point in the game I didn't have the highest hopes. I was mostly sad and not liking most of the new characters. But then... things take a turn.
Mayumi was actually a spy! thank god honestly. Kiryu meets Aoyama again but then Morinaga shows up and fuckin kills Aoyama and says he buried Aizawa alive HOLY SHIT? and then soon after I'm told Majima is fucking dead. Figured he wasn't actually dead cuz I've seen pictures of him from later games but holy shit I somehow cried just at the THOUGHT of him being dead. Also at some point here we met a detective who is an important player in this story but at this point not too integral. Also before Kiryu leaves he picks up the picture frame and its the orphanage ;-;
Kiryu final thoughts: This part of the game was fantastic. I'm so glad they started with Kiryu in this case despite my initial unsureness with it. Chapter 4 especially is when everything really falls into place and starts going 100 miles an hour but I also love the slowness of the previous 3 chapters. I do wish we got more Morinaga as this is unfortunately the last we hear of him despite this being a wonderful set up to a really interesting villain. Mayumi was a pretty shit character per seemingly always with any full grown woman in Yakuza games. While I think it's cool she was secretly a spy she was clearly an afterthought as we never hear about her again so that's cool. Basically a mixed bag of new characters overall.
Part 2: Saejima
I jokingly said to myself "Wouldn't it be funny if I had to spend half of this section breaking out of prison again. Thank god that's not the case." and continued hanging out with Majima until I was arrested for two more years of serving my sentence and OH NO IM BACK IN THE BUILDING.
Yeah I was VERY unsure about breaking out of prison again being a good call. Thankfully, and sorry to Y4, this is a much better prison sequence. Another thing I was really unsure about was BALD SAEJIMA! But actually... it kinda slays harder? In Y4 he looks like that guy from the game The Hatred (an insult) maybe it wouldn't be so bad if bro washed or brushed it but he never did and so instead bald was a slay. Anyways We're dropped in at nearly the end of Saejima's serving period with his group of friends/cellmates, newest one being some dude named Baba. We are relentlessly tortured by the scariest man I've ever seen, Viktor Zsasz-I MEAN! Kugihara. Who's honestly scarier looking then Zsasz somehow. But it is ON because Viktor Zsasz framed my bestie Baba and I will not let that slide so I beat the fuck out of him and it's revealed Zsasz was instructed to be a dick to me. By who??????????????????? Then it's double revealed to me that Majima is dead and I'm sad all over again :(
Turns out our warden is actually really chill and nice and somewhat tries to help us survive. What a breath of fresh air after Satan (Saito) from Y4. This guy is so cool infact we are encouraged to break out by him. So Baba and I do in the dead of the night and tell me why I cried over leaving my two other cellmates ;_; they were such bros. Zsasz hinders my escape and we fight, but my absolute PAL Himura fuckin shoots him it was an amazing turn of events and I cheered so loud and was devastated to leave him behind but anyways-
FUCK YEA SNOW MOBILES (they were kinda jank to control honestly but its the thought that counts). I am so glad I didn't know I was going to be fighting a bear going into this because that was easily the most camp thing ever and so hilarious. Then some old guy saves me (and later Baba) and we chill in the mountains for a little while. The mountain has a whole crazy detailed side story of it's own that I'll explain in more detail later but basically it was cool.
So then a ton of important stuff happens in Tsukimino, most notably we hang out with Baba in a bar which is great because I love Baba and him and I are super tight and he's easily the only person I could ever trust at this point without potential for betrayal! :)
Anyways me and Baba fuckin kidnap this guy because his chair is by a sewer manhole? He's gone in a flash so all I can imagine is dragging him down the hole by his ankle or something. Then we talk for awhile, Majima is mentioned woohoo, THEN HE'S sniped! The way I gasped. Longstory short :( Baba is the one who sniped him and not only that he kind of set everything up and wasn't my best pal all along :( Why Baba Why? Then Baba basically confesses his love for Saejima and can't go through with killing him, AAAAAAND Im back on the Baba train. That detective I mentioned from earlier arrests Saejima but not to throw him back in jail, to assemble the Yakuza avengers.
Final Saejima thoughts: This was shockingly fantastic. I was probably least impressed with Saejima's section in Y4, so it was shocking to have basically the same structure and general narrative beats but done well. It wasn't perfect, I didn't love it as much as Kiryu's section as I'm partial to a slow burn, but it was fun I have no real complaints, except MAYBE more then one chapter in Tsukimino would be a better choice.
Part 3 (first half): Haruka
I did not know I was going to get the HONOR of playing Haruka going into this game. We start off very strong, dancing to the greatest song of all time "So Much More." I mean we really get the full idol experience here with mean ass teachers and shady management. I didn't expect to get an Idol simulator in my Yakuza game but it might be the best thing ever. I decided right off the bat to put everything I had into this section of the game so immediately I did literally everything I could. Most of this chapter feels like a bit of a reflection of Kiryu's were working and going back home alone, it's all as monotonous and isolating as can be (except you're a predebut idol) and I love this. We quickly meet a girl who will serve as my bestie named Akari and yes I indeed would die for her thank you. Meeting Akari introduces us to this sections version of combat, DANCE BATTLES! I know some people might be disappointed you don't get to punch people as Haruka, and I get that, but this feels like a more genuine gameplay style for her character. It's hard to imagine Haruka fighting thugs in the street due to her personality (not that i'd be against it, especially after that weird virtual reality game where I get to wack dudes with a wand) plus I found this gameplay style so refreshing. I was never groaning or sighing because I had to dance against someone. I think it helps that I wasn't forced to do it 15 times in a row walking down the street, but I had the option to most of the time unless it was part of a quest. Maybe that's how all the gameplay should be? I don't mind being approached by thugs sometimes but it always feels like it happens too often in these games and with getting the option to while getting to walk around carefree otherwise in Haruka's section was just SO NICE.
Anyways, We get the whole set up here, we are participating in a competition show that will single handedly set the course for our debut. We're competing against this band called T-set. I hate them so much. They're so mean :(. At some point we see Miss Park absolutely SLAY and tell off Haruka's dance teacher and she doesn't take his shit at all. At this point I was like "Uh ohhhh I don't wanna like her but...she kinda rocks" my decent into stanning Miss Park only continues from there. We have to go convince some guy named Christina (interesting name to take but also a slay, much respect to Mr. Christina and his fedora) to be our new dance instructor. This causes drama with me and Akari which devastated me because I love Akari but we made up like immediately so it's chill.
Then at one point, I forgot the context, Haruka is shopping for a gift for Miss Park when stupid T-set shows up and STEPS ON THE BROACH I BOUGHT FOR HER. I was back and forth on them until now, now they may burn in hell. Especially after they made Haruka get on her knees and beg for forgiveness like ???? what gives ??? Park shows up and SLAYS and gets rid of them. Park then wears the broach :(((((((((
Then one of my favorite parts happen in chapter 2, Haruka and Miss Park go hit the town and just bond together. It's so stinking cute I wanted to cry. This whole time I was trying to not get emotionally attached to Park because it really felt like she was gonna end up betraying us. But the night continued and we get some mother daughter vibes going, even so far as holding hands????? Also Im somewhat glad I didn't get to wear the outfit I bought at the store with Park because I was going for a Cheetah girls inspired look then realized far too late how tacky that might come off, not everyone is Raven Symone ya know?
Anyways at this point I'm like wow this is the cutest game ever, nothing can ever go wrong, Park MIGHT betray me but I don't even care. She gives us a cool pen and a tragic anime backstory with an abusive ex husband and everything and we call it a night Well the next fuckin day my world crumbles because PARK IS DEAD! She "committed suicide" as if!
Part 3 (second half): Akiyama
I can't tell you how devastated I was to realize I'd only get to play as Akiyama for half of a section of the game. However, I was also thrilled to see him at all. Apparently he's opening a Satenbori office and also he is the one who financed Park's dream to debut Haruka so that's how he has a hand in all this. There is tragically very little Hana, she calls you twice and both times were fantastic but I wish I had more :(. Anyways Akiyama has heard about Park's death and goes to the office and meets Haruka. I didn't think they'd even really know each other and assumed we'd have an interesting reveal that they both know Kiryu later but nah they know each other. It honestly probably works better this way because we don't have time for such trivial things! Akiyama is a fuckin detective now. I don't know why he has been tasked to do this but he does it so well I don't even mind. He quickly figures out Park didn't actually kill herself and they simply need evidence to prove this. I'm unsure when this happens but at some point while talking about the mystery SOMEONE FALLS OFF THE ROOF! It was Horie :( who I haven't mentioned yet but he's my manager and a real pal. Thankfully he lived but we found out that the former dance teacher pushed him off. I think he also killed Park or Kanai did, who knows, either way someone did and they suck for it.
Chapter 4 has a lot going on, but basically the president of Osaka talent is sus and he's also the secret chairman of Ousaka Enterprises, which is a different thing... but sounds similar. Ousaka is basically a higher up family in the Omi alliance, so he's part of the bad yakuza!!! Haruka keeps doing the competition and T-set keeps sucking. She wins the princess league by a landslide. I don't even see the point in a third round if she won both of the other rounds? Is the third round just worth more points? Either way Haruka destroyed them and they suck. Her poor vocal instructor is working as her manager now. At some point we find out Parks ex husband was none other then Majima! Which is quite the revelation. Japan is such a small world, everyone seems to know each other. This does mean that Majima at least hit Park (I think after her abortion) and I think he's like 10 years older then her yet they were already married when she debuted at eighteen... Is it time for me to confront the possibility that my favorite crazed murderer might not be the most upstanding citizen?
It ends with Haruka being kidnapped, (nothing out of character there), and Akiyama saving her. He and Haruka make their way to Japan for the big ole concert Park had been planning. Wow this story is really picking up! I hope nothing grinds it to a sudden stop!
Part 3 final thoughts: God this was amazing, every step of it. My only complaint is I wanted more, more Akiyama and MORE dancing but I might be the only one who wanted 40 more hours of dancing. Detective Akiyama and Haruka duo was not the team I knew I needed but Im glad it happened. I found all of the music and gameplay here SO fun and I loved the plot too. I really liked Parks character. I wouldn't necessarily hang out with her, but I found her to be pretty well written and its hard to hate anyone Haruka clearly treasures, I am very sad she is actually dead because up until the end of the game I kept thinking she was going to come back.
Part 4: Shinada:
We have come to a sudden stop. We start with a flashback to 1997 where Shinada has debuted as a baseball player for the wyverns, don't forget this moment because the rest of this section of the game constantly calls back to it. In the modern day Shinada is a loser who is really heavily indebt and lives in a weird grimey rooftop shack. He also now writes like ? smut articles ? And he's friend with a girl named Milky which is the craziest name I've ever heard. A loanshark who talks about his kids a lot constantly follows Shinada around and takes his money. There was a lot of promise with this gag, like maybe instead of letting me keep the 100k and still acting like I'm broke he shows up after every side mission to rob me but nope. At the end of the chapter we run into a masked man who is frankly just Daigo stealing Kiryu's disguise idea.
Shinada and loanshark (his name is Takasugi) walk around town looking for leads on uncovering the truth of Shinada's past. Because you see, Shinada one time got fired from baseball cuz everyone thought he cheated, oh you already knew that? yeah same but don't worry you'll hear it at least 40 more times. Daigo asked him to go look for clues about this, why does he care? I still don't know honestly. Takasugi is forcing him to go because...I guess money? and he's walking around with me and were acting like friends now for some reason. Shinada is incapable of having any agency for himself, he just does what people tell him to. He also keeps nearly dying like a looney tunes character with shit falling out of the sky and stuff. Eventually we find out the Nagoya family fixed the match and then some guy Shinada used to know does get smashed like a looney tunes character. Skip ahead, were called to help by Milky and she betrayed us. I am sad cuz I thought Milky was a friend for life. Turns out literally everyone Shinada knows aside from the fkn loanshark are evil, even the old baseball lady. This plot was so convoluted I frankly don't understand why they were doing what they were doing, all I know is they were more like a neighborhood watch situation then Yakuza even though they seemed to do the exact same thing. Also when I say literally everyone he knows is evil I mean everyone, even his old coach or whatever. For way too long I thought they meant the middle school baseball coach so I was hella confused. Anyways we then find out that actually Takasugi is Shinada's number one baseball fan. Okay? Anyways
Chapter 4 things finally pick up a little. Daigo reveals himself like anyone ever was doubting it was him, and he also reveals he cares because he went to highschool with Shinada. Is that fr how were connecting this? Daigo got expelled from highschool because he protected Shinada from a rival school. Once again, okay? I guess Shinada doesn't like that Daigo is a yakuza and punches him out the door. I wasn't a fan of this. Daigo goes down pretty easily, pitiful Daigo strikes again. I love him but can he do anything right? Anyways I guess the fight meant nothing cuz they're pals now and go to Tokyo together. We get a cut to Takasugi getting his money back from Shinada as well as a signed baseball...okay that's really cute I nearly cried. I wish they actually left it there but instead Shinada runs away last minute to meet up on that stupid baseball field from 1997 that we cant go 5 minutes without hearing about and we fight this guy named Sawada who was like the kind of mastermind and also the pitcher. Had Sawada not thrown an easy pitch, Shinada wouldn't have hit it and thus been kicked out for cheating. We fight some Omi then play baseball and OMG WHY ARE WE DOING THISSSSSS
Finally it ends and we go to Tokyo
Shinada final thoughts: If you cant tell I was not a fan of this. I found Shinada to be really inconsitently written. In side missions or when he's playing off of certain characters he's quite entertaining and un, but most of the time, he seems to just be a blank slate who does whatever and only talks about baseball. And omg maybe if I liked baseball this would have been the best thing ever but we did not need THAT much baseball talk or constant referencing to that baseball game in 1997. I get its central to his character but it became a meme how often he'd get misty eyed and talk about getting kicked out. Why did he move Nagoya to escape his image as a cheating baseball player when 1) he constantly talks about it anyways, 2) everyone literally knows who he is here anyways. They make it seem like at first he wants nothing to do with baseball anymore but he also goes to the batting cages all the time and also thinks about nothing but baseball. The plot here is just SO hard to follow and not at all what I want to be dealing with after we were really in the thick of things with part 3's ending. I'm not saying it was impossible for this to be good, I think there was so much potential here! Like seemingly all of Yakuza 4, the concepts are there but the execution is iffy. I think it's biggest downfall is when it happens. It would have made so much more sense to make the last section before the finale the Haruka section. Shinada would have felt much better to play as maybe as a part two or even a part three, but NOT part four. The odds were stacked against him being amongst a cast of characters that I already know and love. I definitely was more of a Tanimura fan, but I liked Shinada as a person. His inconsistent writing, unfortunate story, and tendency to be a little annoying really dragged this part of the game down for me.
Part 5: The Finale
This finale is crazyyyyyyy so strap in. I would expect nothing less then insanity from this game. First Kiryu shows up in Kamurocho WERE HOME BABYYYYYY. Were being followed by BABA!! I missed him. We fight for fun or something then we cut to Saejima who is meeting with the detective who tells us we gotta find Morinaga. OH YEAH THAT GUY. So we go to the Florist and we go to the arena only to find... AIZAWA??? The fuck? I thought Morinaga fuckin killed him cold blooded and made me think he was a cool as fuck villain. Only to find out that GASP Morinaga is actually dead. At this point I literally don't believe it because I guess I was in my era of not believing anyone ever dies.
We go to Akiyama who is told by Osaka ceo to not let Haruka perform. Akiayam says hell no. We also find out that Park and him planned to make Haruka and T-set a group and debut them at the same time but I somehow missed this when playing and didnt realize that till way leter. ANYWAY At some point we also see the CEO doing naked push ups in his penthouse which was so weird. ALSO there is a Date-san reveal. The scream I screamt! I didn't know I missed him or needing him so much in a game till I saw him again. Usually I'm wondering why he's even there or what he adds but I finally get it now, he adds being Date to the table and that's all you need.
Then I do a tower sweep at Kamurocho hills and OMG is this what Majima was building the whole time? To be fully honest it's beautiful and im very proud but its so different and lowkey off-putting. Kind of like Majima himself. I miss him. A whole game and I only be hearing about him second hand its not fair. Question, did literally anyone choose Saejima to do the tower sweep? Anyway were on the top of the tower; Kiryu, Saejima, CEO Katsuya, and Watase. We all have to fight eachother to draw out the one true bad guy and also cuz this is a yakuza game, so off our shirts go and everyone fights. Basically everyone gets shot and the bad guy is revealed... THE DETECTIVE. Who saw it coming? I still kept thinking Park would come back or Morinaga but by this point I was definitely suspecting him too. I don't fully get why he's doing all this but long story short he's purging both the Omi and Tojo of nice? Yakuza? I guess? I think it mostly has to do with him making way for his son to inherit a role in everything but thats not further explored till later. Not to worry tho! Daigo has shown up!!!! But because he is Daigo you should definitely be worried because once again he cant do anything right and he gets shot by Kanai. God dammit Daigo. He is now in critical condition, this is the SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED DAIGO. He's such a damsel in distress, never change.
Baba tells Haruka the message Kiryu had for her, to never give up. He also asks her to come with him to convince to Kiryu to chillax but she refuses. Sad for no one but me. At the New Serena, where that absolute BOP of a song is blaring, Kiryu is sleeping, while the rest of the crew are chilling and chatting. I forgot to mention Akiyama and Shinada briefly teamed up but frankly who cares. Shinada talks about baseball alot here too just incase you were worried he wouldnt. They conclude that detective bad guy is gonna attack Haruka's concert which I will NEVER allow. I guess Shinada's purpose here is actually tha the knows the stadiuk layout pretty well which I will buy in to. Also I believe here Haruka gets told about her and t-set being a band together now called Dreamline. I also dont love this. The idea of it is fine, Im all for a disney channel original movie plot where the bullies are actually great and we all become friends at the end but the issue is they don't properly develop T-set to do that. The short haired girl gets one little moment of being somewhat nice to Haruka then the very next time I see her she's stepping on my boss's broach and making me beg on my knees like sorry but it's really hard to come around on liking them. Even now when Haruka stumbles duing practice they're rude! This is a tragic ending if anything but Haruka seems happy I guess... Dont worry they will be nothing more then Haruka's glorifed backup dancers.
Okay final chapter, and it's a doozy. We send Shinada of all people to go help Haruka at the stadium, I know i just said I get he knows the layout of the stadium but like :( he's literally the only one who hasn't met her. I guess they don't end up interacting really anyways. Saejima is going to go after Majima because btw he's alive and at the top of the millenium tower. Akiyama and Kiryu stay on the ground to defend against attackers and they probably punch/ kick at least 10000 men. All the while Haruka gives her concert. But Baba is lurking and gonna shoot her, I thought he learned to be good again but whatever. Him and Shinada end up having a confrontation that ends in Baba losing and he's about to kill himself when !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my prison besties and the wardon show and up stop him! Oh my god I loved that so much what a nice resolution for Baba and I love that those guys went straight to a Jpop concert just for their pal. Meanwhile Saejima confronts Detective evil man on top of the millenium tower and !!! there he is, finally Majima is here. But he is not having a good time, turns out he's allowed himself to be captured and tortured for the sake of Haruka and now Majima and Saejima have to fight for the same reason. Then! Daigo shows up, while im literally begging him to actually shoot the bad guy but instead they all talk. Haruka is safe from harm (Baba wouldn't have done that shit anyways) and we officially learn about the plot of him attempting to put his son in charge of everything. Kiryu goes to Tojo headquarters to stop whoever this suspicious son is and Akiyama fights Kanai. Then literally all our friends ever show up to help and that was damn cute.
Kiryu shows up and it's eerie, completely silent with dead people everywhere. We go to the meeting room and the guy behind it all along was Aizawa. I definitely did not see that coming because I forgot he existed. But I suppose thats the point, he was so unassuming. I guess that means Morinaga actually was dead all along. We fight Aizawa while Haruka sings a song that seems very pointed at Kiryu wins (duh) but he is not doing well and tries to make his way through the streets. Meanwhile Haruka announces her retirement because she cant hide who she is or stay away from her family any longer and runs away to find Kiryu and THE GAME ENDS. Other games gave me a after credits scene that somewhat eased my concerns, but 5 is a overall very sad game and it's scene is her managing to him but he's bleeding out in the streets and falls unconcious in her arms.
Finale final thoughts: This was quite the finale! It was much better then Shinada's section but it was still a bit messy and left a lot of plot threads up in the air or had some unfortunate revelations. Nothing bad but things I think shouldve maybe been revealed earlier, like Aizawa. Only finding out with like 20 minutes of the game to go makes it feel too empty or even rushed when we know this game is otherwise not rushed at all. I was a little sad about the ending, I don't think it was bad at all I was just sad. The whole time I imagined it ending with the whole gang going to Haruka's concert and having a good time. For once I dont think the game fully dropped the ball on the finale like they tend to do so I commend it for that.
TLDOverall plot final thoughts: As a whole this is one of the most well written Yakuza stories since Yakuza 3 (obviously in my opinion). I can see that for some people all the plot twists and surprises might have felt like too much but I loved it, I never once could predict where this game was going. Morinaga dying off screen was such a let down and missed opportunity, at the end of Kiryu's section I was thinking he was going to be the best Yakuza villain in awhile but instead he went out in such a lame way. I do kinda wonder who killed him, I assumed it was just the detective guy but Aizawa seemed at least somewhat sad about Morinaga's death. I wonder if that was all a show? Another thing I dislike not just because of how it went, but also that it ended up going no where, Mayumi. They made quite the big deal about her at first and I do like the plot twist that she was a spy, but she wasn't even really acting any different when she was in spy mode and in normal mode. Plus you literally never see her again. I think Saejima's section was just very reminicent of his in 4, but done well. Aside from it taking quite so long to get to the city, by the time you leave it feels slightly rushed. I think the chapter in the woods didnt need to be its own thing. Absolutely no notes with Haruka, only that I'm sad this is all we will see of Park, I found her to be a really interesting character. Akiyama is where my main issues arise, only because I really do think he needed his whole section. He felt a little tacked on otherwise when I think he really didn't need to feel that way. I had hoped he would be part of half of Haruka's section then half of Shinada's where he is used to introduce us to Shinada as a character. But instead we get dropped into that like nothing. I know im probably the only one who cares about Hana this much but I really wish we got more of her. I basically said all my issues with Shinada at the end of his section but once again, I really didn't enjoy that plot. The finale was a mess and unfortunatly left at quite a cliff hanger which I wouldve rather it didn't but Im also okay with how it did. Some other things I wanted in this game was MORE MAJIMA I get why he wasnt for narrative purposes but Im gonna say that in every game. I wouldve loved more Okinawa orphan content. That being said there is way more content for them in this then in Y4 which is wild considering we spent like 5 seconds in Okinawa during a flashback and you never actually see them. It was so nice to hear what theyre up to second hand and some of the side missions expand on them a little more but I am devastated they werent there.
Lastly to briefly compare it to Y4, as they do feel like connected games. Y5 realy does feel like they took all of the concepts of the 4th game that needed to be reworked, and then re-did them to be better. The villains are better, prison break outs are better, and just like way more. I do think there are things in Y5 that are lacking compared to Y4, like general atmosphere, and I do think Tanimura's section in 4, as flawed as it is, is better then Shinadas. Akiyama's in 5 is great, but I love his in Y4 more simply because he doesn't have to share the spotlight. But I really have to emphasize, story and character are done better in Y5, ATMOSPHERE is done so much better in Y5.
TLDR for the TLDR: I liked this game :)
And there you have it, the longest goddamn review of all time. It was a really great game and I wish I could play it for the first time again because it was just SUCH a great experience. If you read this far I am so impressed by you and eternally grateful you even cared to. Please let me know your thoughts! I'm so excited to talk about this game with people. As for my rating, It was going to be a 10/10 until I got to Shinada's section now I'm in between an 8 or a 9. Ill just say 8/10 to be mean.
I am already neck deep in Yakuza 0 so I'm excited to write a much shorter review for that one soon.
Thank you for reading!

In the aftermath of a devastating conflict between Shifters(those with magical abilities beyond comprehension), Imported(those from other worlds), and regular humans over 700 years ago, Aeris stands scarred and fractured.

Or will they find a way home back to their own world, as memory and moment flow back through?

In this world of uncertainty, allies and enemies await discovery, and every decision carries weight.

Will they find a new life, a fresh new beginning to start in this place?

So I just started working at this H-E-B store this year , it’s been a couple of months, I’m an overnight stocker. And my boss has recently started giving responsibilities that are not part of my job. Like on certain nights (it’s been getting more frequent) he’ll be sending me messages to tell team to do this that and the other like I’m the lead in charge or something. And I just wonder 1. why does he tell me to tell them what to do when he has all their numbers.? 2. Leadership position is not a part of my job title, so I don’t understand why he’s putting me in this position 3. The other team members have been here longer than I have, so this really doesn’t make any sense 4. It is super uncomfortable to be like “so and so said to this tonight” when I have no authority and he doesn’t tell them about communicating anything with me , so I also doesn’t have any credibility. So for all these guys know, I’m probably just trying to take over And I just wanted to come on here to ask is this normal? Is this a sign that I’m getting promoted? Am I replacing somebody? Or am I being taken advantage of? Should I ask for a raise or a promotion or both? If someone knows what’s going on can you please explain it to me because I don’t understand at all.

1. Birling isn’t mad at Eric for raping daisy but mad he stole money. This shows that capitalism is so cruel that it dehumanises the lower class that are below £50 so reform society to socialism
   
2. This is a war play as during ww1 many capitalist business owners took advantage of the surge in demand for artillery and machinery. So they also took advantage of ww2 but this lead to economic collapse and mass industry closing. This shows greed leads to worse results and using soldiers and human lives as profit leads to even more societal suffering (as seen in the post ww2 recession.
   

This is reflected when the inspector leaves and the birlings celebrate showing they haven’t learnt anything or feel any accountability. Only when the second phone call happens (symboling ww2) do the birlings face the real consequences
This is priestly showing that capitalism will never learn their lesson about and continue to avoid responsibility so society will perpetually suffer in ‘fire blood and anguish’ just like the cyclical structure of the play (starts and needs with announcing an inspector called)The audience relates to these consequences as society suffered exponentially worse as capitalist leaders didn’t help victims of war but instead took advantage of them. Therefore reform to socialism

1. Most students know birling took advantage of Sheila’s engagement for a union with crofts limited for ‘lower costs and higher prices’ as women in Edwardian society were perceived as possessions of their father and husband so could be used for climbing the social ladder.

Yet mrs Birling understands that Sheila has no influence in society apart for her status and outward appearance. This is why Sybil is a ‘rather cold woman’ since she knows women have no power in 1912 patriarchal society so have to give the false allusion they do by acting austere and powerful. She also cleverly teaches Sheila her tactics to have influence and power by acting cold and constantly condemning her saying she ‘shouldn’t say such things’. This isn’t Sybil being a cruel and callous bad mother, but instead acting strict to her child as a loving action to ensure her daughter has the best opportunities in life
In addition, Sybil doesn’t punish Gerald for committing adultery against her daughter. In fact, she’s glad that Gerald returns when she replies to him asking if they don’t mind him coming back with ‘of course not’ revealing she has no negative feeling towards his actions and acts as if she has forgotten what he did. This is because she knows that Gerald is the only way her daughter is going to have any purpose in life. In this patriarchal society Sheila would have no need or influence to anyone, including women. This could be because Sybil herself has had a similar experience with mr Birling as she said ‘men with important work have to spend all their time and energy on their business’. This could show that Sybil is using the euphemism of ‘work’ as she can’t bring herself to accept what Arthur may she done when he wasn’t being attentive to her and instead his ‘business’. The audience feels empathy to her because Sybil understands the significant gender inequality but has to accept that men aren’t faithful. She can’t ‘protest’ as that would physically ruin her life. Women couldn’t get divorces or have any dominance in their marriage so could object to any of their husband’s action. This is why sybil dismisses Gerald’s affair to save her daughter from ruining her life.

1. Women can only express power through clothes. Birling says ‘but- well, a sort of sign or token of their self respect’ this shows that women are objectified to how they present themselves with answers the question to why Sheila got eva fired from Millard’s. Sheila would have appeared less dignified or respected compared to beautiful Eva so she had to get rid of the competition. Patriarchy has such an oppressive grip on women that has manipulated them to believe their appearance is the only symbol of their ‘self respect’

Regardless of your personal opinion on Tuchel, Thomas Tuchel is respected amongst his peers. The managers are always monitoring the situations of other managers and seeing how they play out. Any manager who would be on Bayern's radar is also going to be on the radar of other large clubs in Europe, and those clubs are going to be willing to give more control over decision making around the club to the manager, which is not something they are going to get from Bayern.
What made the situation even worse for Bayern is the story that 80% of the dressing room came out in the support of keeping Tuchel, and Freund and Eberl were not able to make something happen. Yes it was very late in the season to finally have player get behind him, but nevertheless that moment that we had been waiting for had finally come. It really puts in to question what power do Freund and Eberl even have.
Managers and players alike have now seen that the upper management will not keep a manager around long enough to build something with the club, the manager will have little control over players that are brought in along with having management have an impact on the starting eleven and which position they play. Lastly in a bad season, Tuchel was able to walk away with the support and the trust of the dressing room lead by the Captain and the longest tenured player who has the respect of everyone in football. The external optics of Bayern are not good, and right now the manager job is not attractive to anyone.
The concerning part is the current players who were in favour of Tuchel staying with the main focus being Musiala. Many clubs in Europe are mostly likely preparing to poach Musiala from Bayern, and the players camp was in favour of Tuchel staying which would have been helpful to Bayern when it comes to locking up an extension. They have now opened the door to which ever team Tuchel signs with, along with other teams that can ensure consistency from a top tier manager. There are players who drawn in by managers, the same way Tuchel drew Paulinha, Kim, Kane, and Guierrero to Bayern. It becomes hard to attract players when they don't know who the manager is, or the confidence of knowing they will be working consistently with a manager to develop a strong system.
If the belief is that they are going to sign someone to a one year contract, just to go after Alonso, that will back fire as well. The instability in the club will not encourage Alonso to leave, why wouldn't he continue to win the Bundesliga while Bayern are still figuring things out, Leverkusen are going to be able to attract players, and funding that will allow them to sign bigger names, and retain their talent with better contracts.
Can bringing Flick back help, maybe but they would be putting the future on nostalgia and hoping that Flick would be able to regain his coaching form after a terrible run with the national team. Its a big risk to take and we arent even certain the Flick is interested in coming back given he knows he has no control and will receive the same treatment he had the last time he managed Bayern, there has been nothing that indicates anything will be different.
Firing Tuchel has set club back years.
