  • I picked up “Yakuza 0” on sale not too long ago, and I’m enjoying it so much that I picked up the rest of the remastered series while it was on sale. Based on how long I’m spending mucking around in the first one, It may take me the rest of my life to get through them all. I don’t know how “Like a Dragon” compares to the earlier games, but I really enjoy the narrative, combat, sub-stories, and mini-games in “0”.

    As an aside, I really enjoy a well-done pool mini-game. I probably spent more time playing pool in the various space stations in “Rebel Galaxy Outlaw” than doing anything else. Likewise, Kiryu spends a lot of time in the pool hall, as well as hanging around the batting cages, and fine-tuning his pocket racers.


  • I generally agree with your stance regarding humor with a victim. Stupid and regressive. Caveman stuff. I don’t know if that precisely applies here, although I don’t see any humor in the comic either. Maybe that wasn’t the intent ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯










  • Hamas missiles target military installations, not civilians.

    Hey, I agree with most of what you’re saying in this thread, but that seems disingenuous. First of all, Hamas seems to have developed a home-grown rocket manufacturing capability, undoubtedly with the support of the IRGC. While they probably hold some precision-guided munitions in reserve, they’ve yet to demonstrate that. So, at present, any reference to Hamas missiles is moot.

    Moreover, Hamas has, in recent days, specifically targeted Israeli civilians. Setting aside any partisan reporting, there is overwhelming evidence that Hamas intentionally murdered hundreds of civilians. That being the case, your imprecation that

    Hamas missiles target military installations

    seems pretty disingenuous.

    Is Bibi the good guy here? Of fucking course not. Aside from widely-reported ‘intelligence failures’, he’s on the record supporting Hamas, in order to prop up his own fascist regime. If anyone’s more guilty than Hamas, it’s fucking Netanyahu.





  • I think most online atheist communities would upvote that sort of thing. In my experience, it’s all just circle-jerking about how evil religion is, and how stupid people must be to subscribe to it. Which is understandable; most atheists are constantly inundated with religious claptrap from all kinds of sources, and need a place to vent about it. They don’t tend to be very positive places, though.
