@hoescaredy Tbh the PSP was like that too, it only gained traction with the release of 2000 and exclusives in ~2007. Most Japanese people bought the PSP as a handheld Playstation gaming device, since a lot of 90s games like Sakura Taisen got ported over.
@taukingur@Y40IFRQTTING Militarily yes but Serbia didn't get humiliated or anything. It was inundated with EU funds the moment Milosevic got overthrown in 2000
@taukingur@Y40IFRQTTING How did they defeat them exactly? They mostly destroyed military infrastructure and did not particularly cripple Serbia as a country, only its ability to conduct warfare in Kosovo. Milosevic was already unpopular going into the NATO bombing campaign
@marifetter@n30n5223434 Basically every white collar in the country can afford an instant trip to Maldives or the Riviera, Turkish companies have no limit on spending and it's common for them to give like $20,000 as a monthly salary bonus.
@marifetter@n30n5223434 Using bubble era Japan as a reference, imagine rich Turkish tourists inundating Europe, taking weekend flights from Istanbul to Adana just to eat kebab, and Turkish companies giving Ferraris to their employees as bonuses
