Lots of people on Twitter going CRAZY over the fact that somebody got phone camera footage of Rockstar North’s lobby from the window and wondering how he did that. You do realize that’s a video game company and not the Pentagon, right?

Like it’s a public street. The biggest threat to your wellbeing for a heist of this magnitude is campus security rolling up and telling you to knock it off.
-
@zeldatra It is as exciting as shooting a video of the entrance of a super market. What do they expect? Spoilers leaking from the offices that are behind secured doors to the lobby area by themselves? I got juicier stuff from the companies I worked for and that is already somewhat public knowledge.

@zeldatra Right! We, the fans, demand Pocket Circuit Racer! On the same note I'd like to see Kiryu giving pocket tissues to a poor soul on the public toilet, Kiryu trying to get a Bun-Chan plush from the crane game, him giving up on Mahjong, searching the city for lockers, and Kiryu getting lessons from Komaki.

@scribus I still have a background check in progress from Door Dash dating back to when I had nothing to do during Covid and tried to use my free time to earn extra cash with low effort gif work. To this day if I go to check the app they tell me my background check is still in progress.

@scribus it hasn't completely escaped my thought process that the background check shows that i've never had any kind of legal judgment made against me, not even a speeding ticket, and somebody simply didn't believe that could be correct

Poor ol' BlackBerry battery is on its last legs, sometimes shuts down in the 70% range if it's warm or I try running any media. Works well plugged in, though! So now the question is, burner phone or USB battery pack?!? :D

I think there should be a SSN lottery to determine who gets to sit behind the president and tell them what a real citizen really thinks for a week. And probably some other positions, too. Let's draw a few dozen numbers a week and have them really give the buttheads a thorough job review. Speaker, veep, SCOTUS, all the bigwig secretaries. There should be enough positions that you have pretty good odds of being heard somewhere once an administration. I foresee no way in which this would go catastrophically awry, nor be an unmanageable behemoth of a bureau.

Adam Corolla's new series "Mr. Birchum" is the worst Family Guy clone not because of its right-wing politics, but because despite advertising itself as "the show the LEFT doesn't want you to see!!!!", and "too OFFENSIVE and ANTI-WOKE for mainstream television", the show itself is so tame and inoffensive that I'm left wondering if it was a retooled daytime Cartoon Network pitch that didn't get picked up or something
about a year ago from web-
@zeldatra Can it really be worse than Paradise PD on Netflix? I was instantly disgusted by Paradise PD. Also I never heard or Mr. Birchum. Just the name of the show sounds like a show about a family in a box standard suburb and Mr Birchum is the mostly clueless but well-meaning man with emotional and communication problems towards his family.
-
@adiwan I laughed at like one joke in Paradise PD which is more than the zero in the two episodes of Mr. Birchum that you can currently watch (on Ben Shapiro’s website, which I TOTALLY paid for and DIDN’T find it somewhere else illegally). It’s about a wood shop teacher (apparently it’s a character Adam Corolla played in his standup sets back in the 90s?) who’s upset about “kids these days” and is constantly antagonized by a caricature of a 2012 Tumblr SJW. He’s a lot like Hank Hill, except that unlike Hank he doesn’t grow at the end of the episode because the show portrays his “kids these days” mindset as the correct mindset. The first episode has him conscripting his students to do unpaid labor in his house and the SJW character is portrayed as being in the wrong for trying to get him fired over it.

Got a flyer from the extreme right wing political party Alternative für Deutschland (AFD) (Alternative for Germany). It's disgusting what they demand like harsh deportations. There are many points that even contradict. "We want to strengthen the EU" and then "We want to get back to national currencies and weaken the EU parliament to the point it's even less effective than a paperweight made out of one sheet of paper.". Getting rid of the elements that bind the Union together is quite the opposite. Also they want to get rid of taxes. Between the lines they believe in trickle down economics. What a bunch of racist clowns.
about a year ago from web-
@adiwan The flyer was in my mailbox because of the EU parliament election. Also I got my election papers informing me where I have to vote or how to get the by-mail-voting arranged. The voting booth is in another Elementary School than I'm used to, although not living that far away. Gonna have to find out where it's located and such.
-
@adiwan I got one of these from my Republican neighbor who was running for local office but was refusing to state his political affiliation because my district was like Biden+20 or something like that. He encouraged me to contact him so I sent him an email about his frankly horrific and cartoonishly evil platform. I never received a response and now I get dirty looks when he sees me walk down the street.
-
@zeldatra It's sad that US politics is so extremely polarized for so long that only two parties are "viable" for voting. I don't know but maybe he was leaning towards Republican because of some topics that were OK but was ignoring the horrible other stuff and rationalized them away.

With Lost Judgment (finally) beaten, that is every single mainline Yakuza game under my belt. I started Yakuza Kiwami around this time in 2023, so I’ve been at it for about a year. …what do I do now?

@zeldatra I'm also inflicted with the same life question. I'm suffering for any new RGG game while contemplating if other things in life can fill out the void but never can. You can play Ishin. If you're adventurous you may play Kenzan (the other that plays in old Japan) or Kurohyou 1 and 2 (the PSP games).

@scribus unironically the dumbest person in The Big Lebowski probably was better educated than any single person in Ijincho is since according to Lost Judgment nobody at this high school actually attends any classes ever. They’re attending dance club, or reading mystery novels in a boiler room, or painting themselves to look like body models and hiding in classrooms for days at a time to steal test answers, or plotting murders, or getting beat up by me on the streets miles away from the school, but nobody’s learning, I guarantee you that

@zeldatra It's a school for school delinquents. It's part of their curriculum to not attend school.

@adiwan I dunno, maybe I’m just misremembering Nanba’s voice because I’m currently used to hearing him as Yagami’s, but Greg Chun constantly sounds like he’s about to lose his voice in Infinite Wealth. That and his audio mixing is like noticeably worse than everyone else’s, so he might actually just have done everything from home with no voice direction and the audio engineer didn’t fix anything. Mega jarring because the rest of the English voice dub is shockingly good.
-
@zeldatra I'm playing with the Japanese audio. I don't know how good the English voice cast is but I'm very much used to listening to the Japanese voices. On the other hand the English of some characters is the epitome of bad. I cringe extremely hard hearing speaking English. If I were the director I'd rather have a voice-alike for the English. Maybe it was out of budget or time but it undermines his character in my opinion.
-
@adiwan it’s mad unfortunate in some cases, they face scanned Daniel Dae Kim for the triad boss but when he talks it’s not Daniel Dae Kim’s voice and Daniel Dae Kim is Ebina instead???

A group of dudes stole $2000 in merchandise in a single night at my store, and my dumbass hothead of a cart pusher threw hands. They came in again last night and brought mace. Now I kind of wanna wear goggles tonight in case they come in again but at this rate if they discover I’m immune to mace they’ll bring a gun tomorrow.

@scribus my current plan is to stand around door and watch it so I can at least say I did something when they review cameras, ain’t getting close to these psychos though. My hero complex doesn’t run THAT strong.

@zeldatra Isn't it the point to call the police? Or when you see them again to call for help (police/security...).

@adiwan I do that too, but the cops in this county are mega slow. You call, they take 45 minutes to show up.

So. I was in a very bad car crash a a few months ago. Hit from two sides. Highway speed. Now insurance and law are sniffing at me with hunger no doubt, and medical is listing me with a hundred and one reasons why I can't be a functional adult, but my lack of injuries and lack of symptoms are making it worse, since I can't safely get any kind of long term income cause im not injured but the medical file bars me from working or driving. My only hope is loopholes in laws and maybe some good graces of those that dont care to sign off on me for the odd thing. But I bananaed off a higher power.

@firestormdangerdash That's insane. Hopefully it will get better.
-
@adiwan Thank you. I never cared about life direction. But I knew how to handle my life. Now I was scared for a long time since I had rights and independence medically stripped from me on doctors orders. My future feels dead. My career probably is too. There is a slow path that might get my some rights back. But is that enough to be free? Idk. And easily undone if a doctor comes up with a new condition to give me. My only breaking point is just ignoring the medical and thus law to rebuild my life. Worst case I will lose what I already lost. Freedom.

Also Unreal Engine 4 irks me a lot, especially loading scenes. There is so much texture loading delay that I'm not used to with the Dragon Engine. Also animations on load behave weirdly: A sitting person stands for a frame and snaps into a sitting position with physics-driven secondary animation wiggling wildly. In rarer occasions distant scenery also flash white.

@adiwan It seems to actually be the Yakuza 5/0/Kiwami engine with an Unreal Engine wrapper over top which i think is part of why the game is so jank. Not sure what the game played like in Japan originally, but I imagine it wasn't very different.
-
@zeldatra Makes sense that it is based on 5, as I found out that quite a few characters were in the original Japanese version. In the Unreal Engine remaster they were replaced by from 7. It's strange but I get it that Zhao is more popular than Baba.

GTA 6... I wonder if there are realistic effects like someone's pee-pee and balls shrinking in the cold.

@adiwan as somebody who spent the first several years of my life in Florida, my big takeaway is that it’s really cool that Rockstar is depicting what seems to be a fully realized version of South and Central Florida instead of just showing us pictures of Miami they got off of Google Images like they did with Los Santos and Liberty City. I’m excited for it.
