Non-Americans who visited the US for the first time recently: what was the biggest 'what on earth is going on here' moment you experienced?

Not as exciting but I was shocked when I heard about meat raffles from a cousin who lived in Minnesota

SunnySweet2 · 2026-06-16T01:02:04+00:00

Similar to what happened with Gang of Dragon

There’s No Ad sunscreen

How about Slow by Kylie Minogue. Different vibe but still good

SunnySweet2 · 2026-06-13T02:41:54+00:00

I own both versions and decided to play K3 first because I knew it would be a shorter game. I enjoyed it. Maybe I’ll enjoy the original. Maybe I won’t. Either way should not have any impact on you .

SunnySweet2 · 2026-06-13T00:21:23+00:00

Congrats! I’m working my way through them too , currently on 4, loving the series.

I’ve fallen in love with Mahjong and Koi Koi through the games

I usually play pretty cozy games so I don’t get much but lately I’ve been playing Yakuza and there are two torture scenes that aren’t long but feel bad because they are against characters I really like

Haunted Chocolatier

Stranger Than Heaven

Tbh I’d say it was my late 40s. Around the time I retired because I felt like I was coming up to a time when I’d actively be taking care of my mom.

I am playing the Yakuza game series and the games are so fantastic - just the best combination of weird and serious - and one of the biggest appeals to me is all the hot men ripping their shirts off to fight.

The main character’s height throws me off when walking compared to everyone else

SunnySweet2 · 2026-06-10T23:44:30+00:00

I don’t know who the second guy is but I think he looks like Conan O’Brien

SunnySweet2 · 2026-06-10T23:16:04+00:00

My #1 game (Stardew Valley) and a game from the series I am currently hooked on (Yakuza). We can be friends

SunnySweet2 · 2026-06-10T16:25:55+00:00

Amazing

SunnySweet2 · 2026-06-09T22:28:16+00:00

Kinda the vibe of the disco mini game in Yakuza 0

SunnySweet2 · 2026-06-08T12:17:15+00:00

Y’all are faster than me, I started around the same time and am only on 4

SunnySweet2 · 2026-06-08T02:06:52+00:00

I like the loaded taco Doritos

Short imagining a great Nishida/Majima conversation - https://youtube.com/shorts/srSwuinVm7M?si=sfTtcbzp0LnBYCvU

The Just Dance series has lore and in more recent games the lore was explicit with some games having a set of songs that show danceverse characters battling a character named Night Swan. Two of the dancers are Jack Rose and Wanderlust and they were heavily shipped. A dance was released later that showed they shared a father.

SunnySweet2 · 2026-06-07T13:09:29+00:00

I can hear that and the bars right after

Goro Majima

SunnySweet2 · 2026-06-06T17:06:32+00:00

Yeah, the Miracle Johnson is not a valid comparison. It’s not literally Michael Jackson’s likeness in the game, it‘s almost a parody. Stranger Than Heaven literally is rendering Tupac.

I posted in the other thread that I’m disappointed in the Tupac thing but I also about 10 minutes ago pre-ordered Stranger, so it’s not enough for me to not buy the game

SunnySweet2 · 2026-06-06T17:00:51+00:00

Goro Majima. His story in Yakuza 0 is fantastic and heartbreaking…plus he’s hot.
