I always really wanted to play this game! Hope it gets a remaster/re-release.

@brannox 3 and 5 are the most underrated games in the series and you should definitely give them a shot! Just know what you're getting into with them. 3 especially is very old school, to say the least.

@dipset The final circle is always at a traffic stop

Started Demon Slayer. Was vaguely entertained for the first few episodes, but I'm about to drop it. Just met Zenitsu and don't know if I've ever been more immediately repulsed by a comic relief character in a show.

@e_zed_eh_intern Yup - I'll be taking care of my grandma out in western Tokyo, and probably working odd jobs on the side depending on what comes up. I also hit Yokohama pretty regularly, so let me know if you want to meet up!

@TokyoSlim lucky bastard. They're taking so many precautions to make sure this will be as smooth of a process as any Olympics can be. I think it'll be a breath of fresh air after the shitshows of Rio and London. Fingers crossed!

@tokyoslim Hella jealous you got tix. I applied to be a torchrunner, but gave up on the idea of getting any tickets.

I'm moving back there in January and will likely be there until late July (depends on PhD apps). Lmk if we have any overlap and if you want to link up! Same goes to anyone else who rolls thru while I'm there.

@paulmci27 Vanquish sequel when?

@acidtrip-69 You're taking the story out of context - Silverman isn't the only example here, and she also condemned his actions with other women. She even said that that anecdote was not meant to make excuses for his actions towards other women, although of course it was later taken that way. There were more complex power dynamics at play, which CK himself acknowledged after the fact. If you're going against the idea of Cancel Culture, CK should not be your go-to example of how it's negatively impacting culture.

@tokyoslim dang, you used to be able to get free articles but idk if that's a thing anymore. The main idea is that you hold your peers accountable, but not through calling them out, but rather through conversation to improve mutual understanding. The idea being that calling someone out is more likely to make them antagonistic and obstinate, rather than opening an opportunity for growth and change.

also @Acidtrip-69 CK trapped women in a room and forced them to watch him masturbate. Even under loose definitions of sexual harassment and assault, that's illegal.

I'm hesitant to jump in the weeds here, because I also dislike cancel culture, but disagree with many of the arguments made in this thread. I'm just going to drop a link that pretty sums up my philosophy far more eloquently than I ever could.
