Tchaikovsky was able to quit his day job with the support of a wealthy patron.

Her only condition for her support was that they never meet in person.

This so much. Wealth, power and celebrity don’t automatically make people experts in anything, of gift them knowledge of the whole picture. We need to get in the habit of critical thinking and assessing bias and credentials of any sources of information

So horrific! Do they have some sort of point system where they get more money the more cruelly they can make their arrests?

Izumi Takano was actually supposed to be what Nozomi was going to be in Shenmue 1 but they ended up going with Nozomi as we know her now. Izumi Takano was eventually saved for Shenmue 2 and that was the right choice in the end.

By 2000, this had dropped to 3%.

…What’s Joy doing? Does one Heavens member try to usurp Ren in his absence, or do the Yellow Heads try to take his domain? Will Tao go search for her brother? Can we just ogle the scenery of Wan Chai a bit more?

Sketch dump of my four favourite characters from #shenmue

I want a Wan Chai spin off anime so much! Not as much as I want Shenmue 4, but while making the game why not have a cheeky little anime series set in Hong Kong? What are the Heavens up to without Ren?

Oof, the walk of shame... we've all been there 😵‍💫 Whose head is pounding this morning? Drink some water and take it easy today. And even if you haven't been out drinking, have a chilled on this Sunday... you deserve it!

Screenshot from Shenmue showing Aoi staggering home after a heavy night of karaoke and drinking. Behind him is the Tomato store, and an empty street at night with snow on the ground.

He hadn’t even started to pretend to have ended any wars by the time the Nobel Peace Prize nominations went in 🙄 They should save their complaints for when he fails to win it next year

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

Continue the story but don’t end it. I don’t think any of us are ready for it to end 😅 But the anime was so good, we need more!!!

I always do this. Tis the most space-saving aspect of ASD - only need one bowl, one spoon, one cup, maybe a plate if you’re feeling extravagant

SHENMUE is NOT a game we simply played. It's a game we LIVED and grew up with - it is home - it is our solace.

For this #SaturdaySnapshot, we're going on an evening stroll through Golden Qr. It's kind of amazing that Ryo wasn't completely overwhelmed by Wan Chai's sights and sounds, having grown up in cosy Yokosuka. At least there's an arcade and Tomato store to remind him of home!
