I've gone by Firehawk for something like 25 years now. These days I'm primarily just focused on Fire Pro, having been running an e-fed known as Phoenix Rising for the past seven years. But honestly, if you wind up following me, you probably already know what I'm about and how I operate.

Staring at the card for New Year's Bash that I've put together, and I kept having moments of "Oh shit I forgot about this title" and now the fucking thing is 14 matches long

... at least a couple of those will probably go short? i might make this a two-night affair idk

Removed Kiwami 3 from my wishlist on Steam. I don't like the direction RGG is going in lately, at all. Whether it's Sega interference or RGG making decisions themselves, doesn't matter, this has been a terrible year for the studio's reputation and I don't want to be a part of it anymore.

Announcement:

I will not be writing a GameFAQs guide for Yakuza Kiwami 3/Dark Ties.

Full statement below:
Hi everyone. CyricZ here. After giving myself time to reflect on my options, I’ve decided that I will not be writing a GameFAQs guide for Yakuza Kiwami 3 / Dark Ties. I will not be purchasing the game, nor playing it in any capacity. I write guides because I love writing, and I write for the games that I write for because they inspire me. The joy I find in them drives me to give my best work. If I were to write a guide entirely out of obligation or expectation, I do not believe my best work would find its way to the page. With the hiring of known sexual harasser Teruyuki Kagawa to the face and voice cast of Yakuza Kiwami 3, I do not find myself inspired by the game. The Like a Dragon series has a long-standing history of opposing sexual misconduct in all its forms and I feel this casting goes against that message. Key members of RGG Studio have refused to speak on the hiring of Kagawa after his misconduct was made more widely known. While they are by no means required to speak about this, by their silence they have sent a message that they do not view Kagawa’s misconduct as a dealbreaker for inclusion in the series cast, nor do they deem it worth addressing. This stands in contrast to steps taken in the past to replace other cast members that did not align with their values. I won’t go into further detail on the issue itself as the information is widely available via the #REMOVEKAGAWA movement. The rest of this will be about me, my guides, and my relationship with RGG Studio and the Like a Dragon series. I remain a fan of the Like a Dragon series. It’s not something I can just excise from myself. I intend to continue playing past Like a Dragon games on stream as they are some of my favorite video games. That may be subject to change in the future, but the plans are to continue playing the games on stream in my intended order, with the exception of Yakuza Kiwami 3 or Dark Ties. The only minor thing that will change with regards to my streams is that I intend to take special note during stream of the many, many instances during the series that remind us of the societal ill of sexual misconduct. As to future games put out by RGG Studio, I reserve the right to not make a decision on those at this time. That will be a “wait and see” situation, dependent on future actions or inactions by RGG Studio. Further, if things change with regards to the release of Yakuza Kiwami 3, I reserve the right to reassess all the preceding. RGG Studio still has the opportunity to do right in this situation, and I hold onto hope that they will see the best way forward. Finally, I promise to all my readers that my GameFAQs guides for the Like a Dragon series and other RGG Studio games will be going nowhere no matter what happens. Not only are they some of my best work, but if I preserve the guides with myself as the author, I remain in creative control of them. This prevents others from taking the text and redistributing it without my consent, which is something I fear would happen if I were to remove them from GameFAQs entirely. For those of you who read my guides, thank you so much for your support, and I’m sorry I will not be helping with this upcoming game. For anyone who wants to write a guide on GameFAQs for Yakuza Kiwami 3, be my guest, not that you need my permission anyway. For those of you joining me in solidarity against Kagawa and this release, I thank you all for sticking with it. Your commitment has inspired this. Be good to each other, Scott “CyricZ” Zdankiewicz

So, ah... you don't have to watch The Game Awards. Just watch the trailers when they drop after the show; save your sanity while harming on Keighley's bottom line.
And the prices keep going up. According to two sources familiar with this year’s show, a 60-second trailer during the 2025 ceremony can cost up to $450,000. A three-minute trailer costs over $1 million. Two separate sources in the video game publishing world said that while they had not been briefed on this year’s rates, these sounded in line with what they’d expect from previous years.

for too long, smartphone makers have been focusing on things that nobody needs (ai integration, stupid new user interfaces), instead of focusing on actually useful features:

Octopath 0 update: Prologue and the first chapter of Master of Power complete thus far. Main story is almost certain to be the familiar beats from CotC (the mobile game this is based on), but there's plenty of new stuff here, and it's all been quite good thus far.

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today.

Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943.

Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s.

Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

Summer Blockbuster (& Slam Chowder) will take place August 30th and 31st.

Due to real life stuff, they might be my last big streams for a while.

I'll be trying to fundraise for it as my cat Moki is sick, and we've got some big vet bills out of nowhere.

Behind one is Tex Wrexham, and behind the other is Holly Rood (accompanied by Jojo Lee and his cat, Moki). They are the two finalists of the C64 Summit tournament. Across the back are various members of the roster who'll appear on the show.

by the standard of "in-game achievements" I have 100%'d Warriors Abyss. Steam achievements were done like, a week ago.

Verdict on this game: Fucking get it. Seriously. Warriors roguelite? I never knew I wanted this so badly until it existed.

www.twitch.tv/firehawk2289 Little different tonight again. I'm trying to add some non-Fire Pro stuff into the schedule lately just to add some variety, so I'm playing some Hades tonight. And possibly Warriors: Abyss, depending on how Hades rolls. Mostly because I'm OBSESSED with Abyss.

This is the home of Fire Pro Wrestling World e-fed Phoenix Rising, running every Monday night. Could also be the occasional other stream, who knows! (Probably pretty rare, though.)

How about I make sure that happens and is accurate that would be wonderful thank you.

well, did the last standard stream of the year last night. Last Phoenix Rising stream for 2024 is on the 30th, New Year's Bash, but that leaves a week open to figure out. Normally I'd do a Valkyrie Pro stream but I dunno.

I'm half considering something else. Like replaying Bastion.
