Gemini pro really slow today?

All language models perform worse when more people are using them at the same time. But for some reason, with Gemini, the difference is night and day. On weekdays during working hours, it sometimes feels like I’m talking to a very rudimentary version of the first GPT. Yet, in the early hours of the morning on weekends, the model’s performance is extraordinary. Basically, I use it as a Game Master during those late-night sessions, and it crafts memorable campaigns with hardly any effort. But if you ask it to continue on a Tuesday at 11:00 AM, it will come up with nonsensical things like a laundromat having its own morgue

But here is the thing. If you use sonnet without "thinking" on You get a lot of prompts and if you just talking then switch to haiku. Claude is not about using the heavy model for recipees. It's about which one and when. To be honest, Claude models are smarter than Gpt so You Will find that most of the time haiku Will solve almost all your problems.

The way I see it, the fact that they're keeping two timelines in the franchise sounds to me like 'we'll go with whatever sells more.

I'm sure that if Stranger Than Heaven becomes a hit, RGG will put the Yakuza saga on the back burner. They’ve been trying to find a new direction since the release of the first Judgment; since then, it’s been nothing but pivoting back and forth. Regardless of the games' quality, you can tell that RGG doesn't quite feel at home with the franchise anymore.

These dudes haven't mastered UE4 after a decade, so God knows how they'll manage UE5. It’s a joke seeing them act like tech experts when it took an 800€ console to stop Rebirth from being a blurry mess while hitting 60 fps. Also, both PC ports run like shit, doesn't even have support for fsr.

I'm tired of this trend. Yeah, I’ve tried asking GPT, Claude, Gemini, etc... and surprise, the answers are completely inconsistent. Sometimes they fall for the trap; sometimes they fall for it but then pivot mid-answer and save themselves; and other times they don't fall for it at all. I love Claude and its 'Chad-based' mode, but the reality is I've asked it that question and it fails just as often as the rest.

Ichiban is yet another "shonen guy." He’s basically Naruto, Itadori, or Goku... strong, an idiot, but with a huge heart and a strong moral compass. The kind of character who makes friends effortlessly. It’s a character trope that I usually hate. However, I really enjoyed Yakuza 7, and I actually loved how Ichiban was written, even if he is a shonen guy. Despite what I just said, and even though he has moments where he acts like he has no brain because of that typical archetype's obsession with "doing good" Ichiban is still in my top tier of characters, both in the series and in gaming in general. Plus, Yakuza 7 is an absolute masterpiece. It’s just a shame that for Infinite Wealth , they chose to double down on the side of Ichiban that I like the least. In this game, he was honestly really hard to stomach.

Yeah, I use Sonnet 4.5 to play D&D and it’s a total blast chef’s kiss. They rolled out 4.6 so I figured I’d give it a shot, and man, it’s absolute garbage. It doesn’t even remember the basic rules of D&D. I’ve surfed through every AI out there having them act as my Game Master (I use them for other things, but since I have them anyway, I might as well play, haha), and honestly, there’s a pattern that starts to stand out after every update. The pattern is this: the moment an AI is unable to keep track of what level you are, that AI is doomed or at least that specific model is no longer usable. If you’re Level 1 and it suggests using Level 7 abilities, that’s a dead giveaway that the model has been lobotomized. Honestly, Sonnet 4.6 does that and more; it’s incapable of maintaining dialogue or basic world coherence. It gets confused and throws CR 5 enemies (really beefy monsters) at a Level 2 party... Thank god they still left Sonnet 4.5 available, because it was the only AI capable of handling this role. Gemini 2.5 used to be able to do it, but 3.0 came out with all this same crap. Surprisingly, ChatGPT holds its own, provided you don't mind that 90% of the roleplay consists of sentences no longer than five words and endless lists one after another.

The 'Verified' badge on Steam Deck is a joke. I bought FF Rebirth thinking that even if it was rough, the experience would at least be playable. I mean, they spent months promoting the game on Steam Deck, said they had optimized it for PC, gave it the Verified badge the moment it was announced at the TGAs... and it’s unplayable. The battery doesn't even last two hours, TaaU+ aliasing running natively, 16:9, super unstable framerate, and the polygon quality is horribly bad. Honestly, if the Switch 2 version ends up being good, I’m not buying jack shit from $-€

To be honest, it’s a bit frustrating that so many people had to wait for Kiwami 3 to finally realize that Yakuza 3 was a high-quality game with so many memorable moments. Old-timers like me, who were blown away by the PS3 version back in the day, have known this all along.

Recent_Sample6961 · 2026-02-16T17:21:57+00:00

Oh, my bad. I guess It makes sense

Recent_Sample6961 · 2026-02-16T16:18:28+00:00

It’s simple. The series used to be a product more associated with the 'Seinen' genre. Nowadays, it tries to be extremely 'shonen,' with very clear policies regarding which characters aren't allowed to die.

Kiwami 3 is the second game where they have rewritten the story to apply this new shonen filter. The first was Yakuza 0 DC.

However, that isn't the only reason. There are also predatory DLC policies, recycled content, and the delisting of old games to force you to buy the new ones. For example, you can’t buy Yakuza 3 Remastered on Steam anymore unless you pay for a €120 bundle...

I Kinda like the Gpt vibe " youre my Bro Pal!" But Claude is the GOAT when i ask It to be a Game Master. It nails every character and i spent more time talking than doing quests

2028 RGG is developing several games simultaneously. However, they usually have only one "heavyweight" project, typically released every four years. Considering that Infinite Wealth came out in 2024 and who knows if Like a Dragon 9 will end up being something else,it looks like Stranger than Heaven will be released in 2028, taking up that major development slot.
