Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is the End. Not necessarily of the franchise, but certainly of its recognized identity. It's a celebration of classic Yakuza / LaD design philosophies- but it may also be a farewell to them as well. [Signal boosts of all kinds appreciated!]

Oof, another headache tonight. Can't we just skip to the part where I get psychic powers?

I might need to figure out a better control scheme to play this with as well. I don't like having to tap two buttons at once to do certain actions. Sometimes the game will read them as separate inputs, and I know that's gonna be annoying later.

I really like mystery dungeon games, but this Shiren The Wanderer one I'm trying to not lose interest in has a buuuuuuunch of stuff to remember right from the get-go. It's not even that old, despite feeling like a SNES game. I should be absolutely adoring this, but I'm also overwhelmed.

Tell the homies we're gonna watch an action film. Give them a story about changing one's path, loving your homies, and hardship.

Time magazine is owned by Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, who just came out as a Trump supporter and said it would be great if he sent the National Guard to invade San Francisco

Just in case the dramatically low Leni Riefenstahl-style angle was too subtle, they used a word from her most famous movie

I saw folks recommended that! I might try it in a few days if it still bothers me.

No amount of PC troubles is worse than buying another brick.

Tried to defog/defrost my headlights with pretty mixed results. The passenger-side light didn't need a whole lot of work, so it looks great! The driver-side light was the really screwed up one. It's...better...but still pretty cloudy. Don't think that's getting better any time soon.

and by verified I mean me personally. But from the looks of it, this might not even be a hobbyist thing, and might literally be an officially supported service they're just not talking about.

I haven't verified the safety of these, but I believe there's one or two Windows 10 security branches being made by known enthusiasts, if you wanna check them out.

You know- I expected the votes on this to be much more one-sided.

So, another reason I say white people would rather be white than be human is summed up in this dude's post. Good work on him.

We as Black and Brown people either don't exist (when in close proximity) or exist in a form of abstraction (when further away) for white people.

Every time this happens, I always see people acting like leaks are some horrific act of sabotage. They're just not, man. You should get pissed at whoever spoiled it for you unprompted, sure, but if you really wanna avoid that shit, mute the words and get off socials.

GC Vazquez @gcvazquez.bsky.social · 13h

On leaks: If you follow a leak account and they leak a thing, and you get pissed about it, that is 100% on you.

If you follow someone who reposts the leak, it's the same as posting spoilers untagged, it's less on you.

Posting leaks isn't a moral devastation. It just sucks when you get spoiled.

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

Nah that's just for fun. I considered making a retrospective on it for a long time, and maybe I will down the road, but I'd prefer to keep that series as purely recreational for now.

Have you already planned a retrospective on Assassin's Creed or is all that activity on Odyssey and Valhalla purely for fun ?
