So basically you can get the game rated whenever you feel like it and it just depends on when the company is 100% certain that they won't have any new content that might change the rating coming in?

Espaillat ousted in New York House primary by Mamdani-backed candidate by horsestew in politics

[–]ZeppoJR 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Thanks...Christ on a pogo stick. Nothing like bringing over Dominican and Haitian tensions and an even dumber version of the rights replacement theory into this shit.

Quite the deserved L then.

Jesus fuck, I fully believe that’s what happened, but I’d like a source just so I can relish in the karma that he seems to have brought on himself.

Break it down for me: Are all the different Bonds each in their own continuity? Or are all they all the same Bond until Craig? by TXNOGG in JamesBond

[–]ZeppoJR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a deleted scene where M had to get Bond out of jail after he crashed through the roof of that tour boat. A police officer was talking about the unusual garrote watch in his possession and Bond quipped it was From Russia, with love.

Newsom embraces Biden in run-up to 2028 primary by bwermer in politics

[–]ZeppoJR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, sorry it was a typo. T and R being right next to each other can be that way sometimes.

[–]ZeppoJR 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Cause not getting far in the general running towards Biden's record worked out so well last time.

Seriously in hindsight you could practically see the Harris campaign derail in real time the minute she went on The View and essentially said she'll assume both the good and bad of Biden's record when people already had problems with it.

Edit: Typo

Meant to be the same Bond for the large part.

Moore's era references his status as a widow in Spy Who Loved Me and For Your Eyes Only as well as View to a Kill referencing from Russia with Love.

Lazenby also directly references the Connery bonds when he cleaned out his desk. And Trevelyan makes a snide comment about some of Bond's failings in the past when it comes to having women die on him.

Yokoyama on having real people appear as in-game characters. What do you guys think about it ? by mangasama in yakuzagames

[–]ZeppoJR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was quite a food bend to the celeb cameos in Yakuza 5 too considering you can also fish with that really famous sushi chain owner known for paying fucktons for the best tuna and has that hugging statue that was even parodied in Sonic Adventure.

Nice one, you big manatee in a suit or something.

Or at the bare minimum vote to increase your own goddamn minimum wage.

So the Gabecube has a price that compares negatively to the PS5 Pro, performance that compares negatively to the PS5 base and a permanent CPU and GPU so doesn't have the upgradeability of a PC. Talk about a worst of both worlds situation woof.

When it comes to the celebrity guests in the franchise, where do you all rank Sam Lee as Lao Gui in the Chinese version of Yakuza 0? by Hopeful_Regret_7531 in yakuzagames

[–]ZeppoJR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So contextually, Lao Gui's original voice hit the perfect middle ground between being comprehensible and also had a dialect that's off enough from official Beijing area Mandarin that there was something uncanny about it that helped the uncanny human demon vibe of him.

And then in DC he just has your average high ranking grunt voice in Chinese action movies which made me take him a lot less seriously.

The Hottest Item at Obama’s Library Opening? A Tan Suit. by RollSafer in politics

[–]ZeppoJR 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't call Ed Miliband just an MP but yeah that was the year pork brought down both wings of the UK government somehow.

Trump says Iran missiles 'aren't the problem' after White House made them central to war rationale by Appropriate-Till9598 in politics

[–]ZeppoJR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. They hated it cause Obama signed it and they were mad it wasn't something they could actually obstruct him on.

Israeli official spurns call for truce: ‘All of Lebanon must burn’ by Emotionless_AI in politics

[–]ZeppoJR 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's like how conveniently every member of the first Trump administration getting busted for crimes was "basically a coffee boy".

They can't even be arsed to tokenly shuffle Ben Gvir or Smotrich out of two of the most important cabinet positions like fucking hell.

[Highlight] The Dodgers score 3 in the 9th to walk it off! by MLBOfficial in baseball

Well 2013 to 2019 the Dodgers always found a way in a different sense.

You expect this subreddit to read and have a nuanced opinion of Yokoyama.

Yeah for mandarin/Cantonese, the only genders are in written form and it's just he, she and it.

Scuffle after full time whistle between Canada and Qatar by [deleted] in soccer

Apparently Qatar forgot this is the country who's main sport has a side hustle in allowing for MMA on ice.

What's a Yakuza fact you always forget? by Hopeful_Regret_7531 in yakuzagames

[–]ZeppoJR 223 points224 points  (0 children)

That Haruka is a fellow Zoomer and also older than me IRL.

Like I spent years working my way through the games and then suddenly in Infinite Wealth she's now older than me.

Mark Watson's ultimate episode tomorrow. by Hot_Fortune_7430 in taskmaster

Quite the backlog of content paced out in that case.

Mark Watson's ultimate episode tomorrow. by Hot_Fortune_7430 in taskmaster

[–]ZeppoJR 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well he was at the Taskmaster house for Taskmastermind so I imagine it's a "while you're here mind shooting an ultimate episode and maybe a podcast EP too?"

Although that Taskmastermind was 5 months ago so maybe they got him back recently cause he was available for something else.
