      60 to 100 hour work weeks, including near-mandatory after-hour drinking parties with your boss and coworkers. Also marketing/competition is aggressive over there so they are constantly seeking to top everyone else in novelty.

      ​@@Kimichitsuzuku Japanese TV doesn't have crazy gameshows, it has people watching other people eat food and say how delicious it is
      Marketing in what regard? Everyone is very happy with very plain stuff in Japan, hence a cuisine of subtle flavours such as plain white rice, or salty fish.
      I do know a lot of people that work a lot, for instance one friend has 3 part-time jobs, but I don't know anyone that works anywhere near 100 hours; especially not per their contract;, Japanese people simply do not take time off, so the government has had to create more holidays to make up for that public mindset.
      The drinking does happen, but generally speaking I can't think of anyone that dislikes that aspect, and again most people I know would drink alone at home after work any way.

    You "tame" "wild Piñatas" with such whimsical names like "sparrowmint", "limeoceros", "mallowolf", and "swanana". You can have them change colors and wear funny little hats and make them do tricks for your leisure, all the while getting their candy meters up so that you can ship them off to faraway lands ripe with rabid children all too eager to womp on the poor Piñatas and devour their sweet candy innards.

    Changed. A Chinese game about certain furry-related fetishes where you try to escape from a lab with an SCP-1471 lookalike while trying to avoid getting turned into a variety of anthropomorphic latexes. And somehow it has a growing devoted fanbase that has helped translate the game into English and other languages with lots of non-fetish artwork.

    Fluidity/Hydroventure is still my favorite game. A motion controlled platformer where you guide a puddle of water around the pages of a book, changing from water to ice to gas to drive away an inky influence covering the book, it was an absolute gem that sadly is no longer available with the end of the Wii Shop Channel. Hopefully we will see a port to Switch in the future.
