Been debating on this for a while, but I've finally made a separate account for my media reviews/posts! @bigsealmedia.bsky.social

Basically it's like the threads I've been doing, but now assigned to a separate account. Felt threads were kinda cumbersome so hopefully this organizes things better.

thought about this again and honestly yeah my ideal FFXV re-release would have VII Remake-inspired combat and Nomura taking release XV's story and world and just adding onto it and making it way more fleshed out and restoring old beta elements
bigsealmode.bsky.social marcy! @bigsealmode.bsky.social · Jan 5
It will literally never happen but if Square were to ever remaster/remake Final Fantasy XV with a more fleshed out story and elements from Versus XIII brought back, they should call it Versus XV. Just do it.

This is not Discord “walking things back.” This is them further explaining the situation in more detail, and elaborating on how the new system will work. I understand the impulse to attribute this to outrage and Nitro cancellations, but this is just a better explanation, not a change.
legendofnerd.bsky.social Brian M @legendofnerd.bsky.social · 7h
Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)
Tl;dr: The vast majority of adults will never have to interact with our age assurance systems and their experience won't change, because we know Discord and how people use it, so we're designing to respect privacy and deliver a safer experience while minimizing friction for adults. Hey folks – I’ve been on Discord since very early 2016 and actually joined the company in 2017. Safety is one of my areas, so today’s announcement on our blog is something I’ve been pretty involved with. I’ve always cared about Discord's approach to privacy (E2EE for A/V was another of my projects here), so I figured I’d add some more context to today's news. I can say confidently that the vast majority of people will never see age verification. I say this because we launched age assurance in the UK and Australia in 2025, and we have some pretty good data on this now. The idea here is that we can pre-identify most adults based on what we already know (not including your messages!), and that looks to get us pretty far here. No face scans, no IDs, for the vast majority of adults. And if you are one of the smaller subset of folks that we can't definitively pre-identify, then still, you only have to do it if you're accessing age-restricted servers or channels, or changing certain settings. That's really not most users. (Altho... might be more Redditors, tbh.) Last, I know that there is concern about privacy and data leaks. That's a real concern. The selfie system is built purely client-side, it never leaves your device, and we did that intentionally. That'll work for a bunch of users who aren't pre-identified as adults. But if you do end up in the ID bucket, then yeah, you're right that has some risk. We're doing what we can to minimize this by working with our range of partners (who are different partners than the data leak you read about), and if it's any help, we learned a lot internally from the last issue. But I get if that doesn't necessarily inspire more confidence. Anyway, we’ll be sharing more next month as we get closer to the global roll out about the system, including the technology behind it in March. I honestly wouldn't be happy if we didn't build something good and I am excited about what we’re launching, but please let us know what you think when we share more details. And I really appreciate everybody's feedback here today. We’re definitely reading it!

If you're gonna read any quote from an article on the game, let it be this one, because I think it sums up a lot of the feelings of fans pretty succintly
“In a word, it’s grief,” Yakuza/Like A Dragon Wiki “Chairman” Masu told me. “If you’re a longtime fan or even if you can see yourself becoming one, if the series has resonated with you, it’s hard to come to terms with the idea that maybe its driving principle of chivalry is just a power fantasy to be packaged and sold and not a sincerely-held belief. And if you’re a survivor like I am, it’s even harder to lose faith in creators you hoped were in your corner when most of the world isn’t. A lot of us are being forced to close a chapter in our lives [that] we never wanted to close.”

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.

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.

iizuka nearly got fired for asking upper management to delay Frontiers from 2021 to 2022. that's how much they just. genuinely do not care. the system sucks and does not care about any of the people who actually make these games.

surely stealth's pleas to sonic fans about how takashi iizuka cares about the franchise means they'll finally stop pinning the blame with everything wrong with sonic on a specific face instead of the corporate system that only cares about projects getting finished and the charts for them, right?

i wish audio set-up for streams would just work all the time without config. it's so annoying having to triple check and make sure the game isn't overpowering my whispering voice when i'm trying to stream at night
