  • Several times in Yakuza Kiwami, courtesy of Majima Everywhere system. Basically, you arrive in town completely weak and this dude who is also a yakuza, called Goro Majima, takes it upon himself to “train you up”. For the player this means having to fight him all the time. At first, it’s just meeting him on the street. Then, he starts making ambushes around corners. Then, he starts dressing up as a cop just so he can have an excuse to beat you up. THEN he starts muscling into fights he didn’t even start and it just gets more and more ridiculous from there. I found it super funny just how annoying they made him. In a good way, though!








  • Oof, watching The Completionist’s fall was an emotional rollercoaster. I liked the guy well enough and he seemed to be doing well right up until that unfortunate G4TV reboot.

    Attached to the new G4TV was one Frosk, an e-sports commentator who was opinionated as all hell and boy, she would NOT let you forget it. Long story short, apropos of nothing, she had a spectacular meltdown on the channel and she did so by blaming fans for all kinds of things. The Completionist, along with all other members of the channel took a hit in subscribers on G$ and their respective channels simply through the virtue of being affiliated with Frosk. Not really their fault.

    But THEN in 2023 it came to light that he was lying about donations to charity and really, that’s when I stopped following him completely. Kind of hard to defend that.








  • Automation games are usually my jam, but I bounced off Factorio pretty quickly. The automation part I got really into. I wanted to keep things as efficient as possible, but then I kept being interrupted by fauna attacks and I kinda hated the disruption. It didn’t help that various defense systems like turrets and the like needed their own supply chain for ammo, so I had to drop everything, start working on that, monsters started attacking my base on another location, rinse, repeat. You get the idea.

    I am aware you can turn off the attacking fauna, but that feels like turning off an integral part of the game, so I dunno.

    My brother is currently way, WAY into it, though, so I might give it another shake in the future.
