I love the idea of karma police. It definitely sounds like the plot for an interesting movie.

Quest 64 really brings me back. I haven't thought about that game in a long time.
Just to clarify. Insider trading is illegal but it is not illegal for politicians in Congress to use the information they obtain from their jobs (such as through classified meetings) to engage in stock market trades.
When I think about what I would do if I suddenly found myself transported to another world, the last thing I would be doing is looking for a job as a mercenary. As stupid as a lot of the plot is, I really like Striving for a Luxury Liner simply because the MC recognizes that he's not cut out to be an adventurer and becomes a merchant instead.
The only isekai I've read that properly utilized the isekai genre was Release that Witch since the MC's "cheat" is his knowledge of mechanical engineering. He kicks off his own little industrial revolution to defend his territory.
My main critique of the genre is how lazy it's done. There's nothing wrong with having the MC reincarnated, transported, or made overpowered. One Punch Man has a massively overpowered MC but it's still really good. The problem is that they're all low effort cookie cutter stories that are just checking items off a list.
They're also fairly unrealistic. "Gasp...is this that isekai thing I've been reading about? I guess I'll go join the Adventurer Guild and get a super dangerous job killing monsters despite the fact that I've never been in a dangerous situation before."
There's no way all these random people will just calmly accept finding themselves in another world with no freaking out or depression setting in first.
The engineering problems that pop up on DS9 are actually pretty mundane when you compare it to the crazy shit that happened on the Enterprise.
DS9: Some component broke down and needs to be fixed.
TNG: The Enterprise becomes sentient, uses holodeck characters to represent it's various mental aspects, and gives birth to some doodad that then flys away.
I didn't realize there would be sex scenes in it. Glad to know before I started watching. I miss the days when it was pretty safe to watch anything. I wish all these producers would realize that some people have families and that we don't need sex scenes and nudity in everything.
Noita is way too hard for me. I finally managed to beat the "tutorial" and that was good enough for me.
That's exactly what happened at my office. The moldy coffee pot stayed there for about a year before someone threw the whole thing away.
