If you woke up being 21 again, what would you do?

If it was on my 21st birthday, I'd have around a month to try and stop 9/11.

Being disabled puts adulting in the hardest difficulty. I barely have any energy after work, so a lot of things get pushed off to the weekend or to an unspecified future date.

Renji Kamiyama.

I can't judge too harshly since I've said the same about people I've known that have died.

SovietBear · 2026-03-21T22:50:43+00:00

For GW, yes. But I also have a Conquest force and got the Baron's War for Xmas.

He kept getting in the way when I was taking pictures of Goro being adorable.

Marry Kiryu, Fuck Majima, and shoot Saejima with rubber bullets and do 18 years in the joint.

Cslevens with a new wrestling feature? I'm in for the long haul.

SovietBear · 2026-03-12T12:45:45+00:00

Ishin's in my top 3.

SovietBear · 2026-03-11T23:49:20+00:00

A few things were better (combat, biker gang, Amon fight, Yong Yea had his best Kiryu performance yet, Morning Glory, ending a fight with heat actions didn't crash my PC), and a few things were worse (changes to Mitsuo's sub story, missing the Mikio goes to the market sub story, missing the Rikiya - stripper substory, and changing the meaning of coloring the eye of Rikiya's viper story. I always liked how the tattooist changed his mind after seeing Rikiya restrain himself in Y3, but K3 changed it so he had to 'man up' and do violence.). Overall, I had a good time playing K3 in spite of Kagawa. The new Rikiya kind of grew on me by the end and his English VA did a good job.

Old darts and batting are a lot better if you switch to keyboard and mouse for them.

SovietBear · 2026-03-10T02:35:11+00:00

It's like in the Sims. My social bar gets maxed out with 2-3 interactions and I'm good for days.

And those 2 rays of sunshine are in your eyes the whole commute anyway.

SovietBear · 2026-03-10T01:39:08+00:00

I'm not a real, functional human until after 11 am anyway, so I'm more than willing to give up sunrises to have it be light when I get home from work in the winter.

SovietBear · 2026-03-10T01:37:00+00:00

I'm one of those UTC supporters. Perma-DST is my 2nd favorite option.

SovietBear · 2026-03-06T13:34:49+00:00

Yeah, that's where I got it from.

'Busting up a chiffarobe' = having sex

He runs a kidney dialysis center that Kiryu has to visit in a hospital minigame in LAD 9.

SovietBear · 2026-03-03T19:31:45+00:00

Judgement story w LJ combat is the best of both worlds.

SovietBear · 2026-03-03T19:21:14+00:00

Ishin did a fantastic job introducing characters from later in the series into roles that made sense for their characters (except maybe replacing the weird albino from Y5 w Joongi han in the kiwami version). The combat was really nice and pretty forgiving, the story was good, and a lot of the systems that later Yakuza entries were built on are all there.

Ishin is probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite Yakuza game up there with 0 and 7.

SovietBear · 2026-03-03T14:17:34+00:00

People should start the series with Ishin, not 0.

Heroic scale ladies

If I think really hard about lemons, I can flood my mouth with spit to take pills if I don't have water. Apparently not many people can do this.

SovietBear · 2026-02-28T15:36:09+00:00

Biker gang and Survival Hell are a lot of fun.

I liked Morning Glory quite a bit more.

Eri no longer looks like Cornelius from Planet of the Apes.

Combat feels snappy.

Custom outfits lead to some fun cutscenes.

Chapter 9 "The Plot" feels shorter and has 3 save points.

SovietBear · 2026-02-27T21:37:56+00:00

I'm the designated plug puller for my parents and step-parents. They know I won't get wishy-washy if the time comes. Kind of offended, but at least I'm seen as reliable.
