When I try something new and I'm not immediately good at it, I just get bitter and sour about it.
When a company tries something new and they're not immediately the number one best entry in show for it, people lose their fucking jobs.

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties Review - Short Fangs
Kiwami 3 is the boldest remake of the series to date, but it makes for an uneven retelling that threatens to taint the series' legacy in the process.

yakuza kiwami 3 is an insult to the game rgg has purported to remake, its players, the studio's previous quality output and, bewilderingly, women. oh, and the casting of an admitted sex pest. i'm somewhere between dejection and fury.

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties review: How not to do a remake | VGC
Sega delivers a disappointing remake built on disdain, not reverence, looking to fix a game that wasn’t broken…

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Seriously though it's kinda wild that really all Kiwami 3 had to do was have better character models and make enemies not block as much and instead they decided to offend everyone and mutilate it into some ugly bullshit that nobody likes, including the people who defended 3's existence for years

Yakuza 3 and killing the franchise in the West for no reason, name a better duo
Technically poor and hurried, devoid of the original's charm, and full of filler content and baffling changes, Yakuza Kiwami 3 is a 20/100, a 2/10, a one-star game.
It's a seismic miss that left me questioning my love for the series.

Can we stop gating things behind Discord, yet?
Be it information, game mods, game dev, etc. I don't want to join your Discord for a snippet of information.
Discord is not a replacement for forums, social media, or encyclopedias. Please stop making Discord servers for everything, it's exhausting.

There is a major political organization allied with the president that got so mad a Latino artist was tapped to play at the Super Bowl they made a whole alternative show. We should all take a moment to reflect on that. It is so blatantly racist.

Can't turn off the brain worms picturing Shana doing Yakuza heat actions with that first jacket. The long sleeve racing jacket looks more stylish but was meant to be strictly casual

To save one trouble in the future, if you ever need to know what that piece of apparel is called where it’s just sleeves and maybe collar while exposing your chest, it’s called a Shrug Top.

One important aspect of Shana's lore is that she loves Sentai
With Sentai kinda being on its way out maybe I should make a Kamen Rider design for her
