Thread of games I beat in 2026

What kills me is how "online criticism" apparantly isn't seen as valid problems customers have or anything but just this annoying little thing they have to live with.
RGG Studio not only cast Kagawa despite his actions, they are specifically taking advantage of his image as a creep to sell the role.
Guess that’s that. #REMOVEKAGAWA

![A shot of Teruyuki Kagawa as Goh Hamazaki in Yakuza Kiwami 3 with his face mosaic blurred out, accompanied by an excerpt from a GAME Watch interview with Ryosuke Horii on 2026-02-05:
Horii: “Rikiya and Hamazaki are both key characters to the story, so it would certainly be safer not to recast them and avoid online criticism (laughs). But we felt there was no use being afraid. We based our decision on what excited us and made us think, ‘This is who we want to perform,’ or ‘What if we cast this person?’ […] Hamazaki is a sleazy, persistent, and militant yakuza, right? Since he isn’t an explosive character like Kanda, when we tried to think of someone who makes you go, ‘This guy’s a creep,’ naturally it was Kagawa-san. The biggest thing was just had to see that. Kagawa-san’s acting is fun to watch. Even when he’s chopping a pig’s feet off with a chef’s knife, it has a slimy feel.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:miwrulrgrudgnchcqgcpxgth/bafkreianho4oe2hx4rmjbrd65x22prtp53ol6fm5ljlqdnjmxkjx2bnpme@jpeg)

Beat Kaizou Choujin Shubibinman Zero. Fun 2D Platformer that felt like a melee version of Mega Man. It was part of the Achievement of the Week thingy on RetroAchievements, so I took the chance and beat the game since it's really short. Pretty enjoyable and charming.

Mastery #19 ... Now I can finally concentrate on Trails. For some reason this game kept being stuck on my mind and I had to finish it, lol.

Collected every card in Chain of Memories ... Now I just need to finish a run without upgrading my HP, which could be tough, but I'm not quitting one achievement before mastery 😤

Beat Chain of Memories for GBA. Almost done with the retro achievements too, just need to collect the rest of the cards and do another run of Sora's story while not leveling my HP. All the unique boss challenges were really fun! Great achievement set they cooked up.

Just imagining a bunch of people meeting up to march for rich people who don't give a flying fuck about them is so hilarious to me 😭
Billionaires get a bad rap. But most of them make our lives much better.
The proposed CA Billionaire Tax Act is a tax on unrealized gains and is already driving founders out of the state.

So, obviously there are a ton of soulslikes out there, but are there any that go more for the "I can't see anything and a bunch of wheely skeletons just stunlocked me to death" souls vs the "dodge roll this 24 attack chain with perfect timing" souls?

I'm still not quite willing to give up on it entirely (will skip K3 though) but Stranger than Heaven could be a big make or break moment for me.
Really sucks to see the Yakuza franchise, a series I would have happily called my favorite for several years, just fumble all the good will it's accumulated and make me - and plenty of others it seems - want nothing to do with it.
I have fond memories but I doubt I'll be returning to Kamurocho.

If this is real, this is far and away the most pointless unnecessary remake I could ever imagine. I'm inclined to believe its real solely because its so fucking insane lol. Like the game to this day is one of if not the most gorgeous 2D platformers every made.

I initially wanted to do a silly little thing by getting the Kiwami 3 platinum exactly 10 years after getting the plat in the original game, but RGG made me lose all interest in that 😔I'm just not willing to support their double standards when it comes to actors.

Beat the PSP version of Underground 2 for the first time. When I found out that this one has additional maps I was always mad that I missed out on them, even though some were reused in AW anyway. But not in this format! Was cool to finally catch up with it and getting the achievements is fun.

For some reason I thought Frozen 2 wasn't that successful. Felt like I barely heard anything about the sequel.
And Lion King being that high is just disgusting. I blame everyone who went to the cinema for that abomination of course.
