I haven’t played the games in a bit after Yakuza 7 but for a good while I kept up with them religiously, it feels that every new decision they make is basically retconning any good thing about the whole series. Kind of impressive actually, to completely miss what people love about it.

I’m sorry Kashiwagi. Your revival has spawned a problem that only dying can solve. I will miss the 2 years I drew you religiously.

They keep bringing back dead characters in the new yakuza games and listen I will always stan my man kashiwagi getting revived but now every death gets retconned.. but if every death is retconned…. What is the impact of them dying……. man…..

Pour one out for Y3 Remastered. Yakuza 3 is flawed for sure but there's so much heart in that original game - and the work we were able to do in making Y3R the dad game it always deserved to be is something I will forever be proud of 🥹

(it's also not-so-secretly one of my favorites in the series)

Sorry I know I’m an art account… I haven’t posted a lot because I’ve moved all my process to analog/traditional and I must hone my skills in order to get better. How I feel right now:

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.

1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish.

2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

So basically I can still print if I buy regular cartridges or knockoff ones! What irks me the most is that by subscribing for those 3 months, Canon sent me cartridges that I still haven’t used… so now I have a pile of useless cartridges full of ink that I can’t use unless I pay them. Evil stuff
February 9, 2026 at 9:57 PM
So before this I was also using knockoff cartridges that have a ton of more ink since the regular canon ones are pretty expensive. I used up all the knockoff ones I had so the ones I have right now are only the subscription ones - the printer just recognizes it as subscription cartridges 💀

This is the most blatant use of “maximize profits, screw consumers, then screw ourselves” enshittification I’ve ever seen.. whoever thought of this idea I hope has a very bad rest of their lives LOL
February 9, 2026 at 9:52 PM
I’ve read all the big printer companies (Canon, HP, Epson) are doing this now, I’m sorry but I remember the days not too long ago when buying a device meant you owned it. ITS CRAZY!!!
February 9, 2026 at 7:33 PM
Was just thinking this, this should not be legal in the slightest
February 9, 2026 at 7:29 PM
Literally something straight out of a cyberpunk novel. You will own nothing and be happy
February 9, 2026 at 7:28 PM
I think I should have read the fine text, but this is absurd. How is this legal?? Is it possible to hack into a printer.
February 9, 2026 at 7:27 PM
I am about to throw this thing out the window. I cannot believe my eyes
February 9, 2026 at 7:21 PM
I have no words… I thought I played the system, but the system played me instead.
February 9, 2026 at 7:20 PM
>has a canon printer

>sees they have a subscription plan deal (3 months of free ink)

>subscribed to it and got free ink delivered for 3 months. Cancelled after

>today I try to print

>”ERROR. canon does not allow you to print with a subscription ink cartridge if your subscription is not active”
