Trying to keep 30km/h on my bicycle during heavy winds was a bad idea, especially when trying to get through a tunnel. I'm short winded now after that exercise. It's a little fault of mine watching the tachometer and keeping a fixed tempo.

Today was the day of the bomb disarming. They found a second bomb nearby and disarmed it as well. Nothing happened except for stupid people who were entering the evacuation zone. It happened a few times and delayed the whole operation. People who are caught in the evacuation zone (also in their apartments hiding) get a fine of up to 5000€.

@adiwan Looks like you've had more practice cleaning up your post-war cities. Or maybe it's just the legendary German efficiency.
-
@scribus It took about 4 hours to evacuate about 5000 people out of the area. Then it took another 3 hours to get rid of the bombs including interruptions.
The legendary German efficiency is more a legend now. Living here you'll see that there is a lot left on the table when it comes to efficiency. The biggest and most visible joke are the trains that are always late or don't work when there is any kind of weather.

I’m about to be the only member of my family left in Virginia so I’d been looking into finally making the move to LA. Then I saw that an interstate over there had to close indefinitely because the ground caught on fire and all ten lanes were unusable. California is really trying its best to seem unlivable.

Also I played the Infinite Wealth trial version a little bit. Oh man. It will be a very unproductive end of January and begin of February.

Pocket Circuit Racing is so much trial & error. Buy all parts available -> guesstimate a build -> start a race -> try again -> ... -> race won -> use same build on rival race with same track. Also most times it's safer not to use boosts on a very fast build. I lost more races because I boosted than I want to admit. Also it REALLY sucks that I cannot retry a race immediately. Only time trials allow that. Also quitting is faster than watching all of the loss animation and end card with the points that I don't receive.

I need to look if there is a firmware upgrade for my 8bitdo SF30 controller. I really like it but it is acting up once in a while. Mostly its just the rumble motor constantly rumbling. A few times it happened to disconnect completely (it was wired!) so only turning it off and on again fixes this. Over all not that bad but annoying. Also today it happened that Windows refused to assign the controller to player 1. I had to remove it in the device manager and replugging it again (several times and a reboot) until Windows decided to cooperate.

I know it’s because it takes place during YLAD, but it sure is convenient that they just don’t have to talk about COVID because it’s still 2019 in universe

I couldn't resist and bought LAD Gaiden yesterday. I'm almost like a fanboy at this point towards any game RGG Studio releases. I'm 12 hours in at the moment and it feels like a Kiryu Best Of.

Like A Dragon Gaiden is such a blast, this is Yakuza action combat at its best

After experiencing the Yakuza/Like A Dragon and Judgment series I have no desire to even think about any GTA game in the future. I don't think that any GTA character will rip off their shirt, revealing a badass tattoo on their back, and fight on the Millennium Tower and demolishing it in the process.

there’s this one photo of Kiryu’s kids from Yakuza 3 that kept getting reused in 4, 5, and 6 and that same photo shows up again in the new game, 2009 PS3 graphics and all. “I was a different person back then” indeed.

Just as a frame of reference, one or more branches of the state government has changed hands in 2021, 2019, 2015, 2013, and 2011, and that’s just in the last decade. 2017 was the only election where the status quo was upheld.

It’s honestly a miracle anything gets done in this state when the government changes hands every two years and neither party wants to work with the other one on anything

I'll probably buy Lost Judgment (+ DLC) as soon as there is a major discount. I ain't gonna pay almost 100€ for a game no matter how amazing it is.

@adiwan @adiwan That neither Judgement game is on Xbox GamePass is why I haven’t played them yet. I’ll buy Judgement, but $60 for Lost Judgement is a bit insane considering as of next week there will have been two further games in the series out since LJ’s release (and one of them isn’t even full price!)
-
@zeldatra Yeah. It's somewhat unfortunate. Last time I saw Lost Judgment on sale on Steam was about 60€ with the Kaito Files DLC. That price also stings. I don't know if I buy LAD Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name on release. I would like to but 50€ make me think twice, especially when I don't get it on a physical disc.

Side note: I’ve been playing Like A Dragon Ishin! since it DID get added to GamePass. It’s ok. Picture Yakuza 0 but you have a sword and a gun. Now picture none of the characters are nearly as likable as they were in the mainline series. It’s fun. But I definitely wouldn’t have paid $60 for it.

Being sick has some advantages. I finished Judgment. I did a ton of side stuff and yet my completion screen has floored me saying that there is much more to complete. Still... I totally recommend Judgment. Saori best character.
