   @nishi are ufo catchers a pain in the ass to get prizes in real life too or is it just the yakuza games where it's a pain in the ass

     @PurpCat @nishi i know but i feel like it'd be even a tiny bit easier to win anything out of them in real life because in game those plushies seem like they were bathed in concrete and then broken out and cleaned up to put into the machine cuz they're outright rock solid and never deform when sqeezed

     @lina @nishi they are just as evil in real life, no matter if they're called UFO catchers or claw machines.

     @lina @nishi rigging games of "skill" is common as shit but claw games are something much more sadistic.
     
     They will do things to make them impossible to win from rigging the claws to be weak or using prizes it cannot physically grab

     @PurpCat @nishi you'd think sega wouldn't make their own fucking claw machines seem rigged in a game that their in-house studio is making

     @lina @nishi yeah but they're less rigged than the ones in the USA.
     There's no payout rate that fucks the strength unlike their competitors, you either win or you don't.

     @nishi pain
     i guess im kinda glad that no ryuko plushie ever was in a ufo catcher then, it'd be hellish to try to get that
     instead i have to hope these (:ryukoplush:) will still be around when i have money to afford one
