Now that MCU has Fantastic Four and the X-Men, they need to pull back from the C and D listers that they’ve been focusing on and move more quickly to establish the big hitters.

I’ve got zero problem with this.  How often does New Game Plus even get used in a Yakuza/Like a Dragon game? 

If you look at the number of players who are going to finish this 100+ hr game, much less want to start all over in NG+, then you’re already dealing with the most dedicated of fans.  These are the exact people…

Public domain is well and good but not looking forward too all the edgy takes on purple gloved batman who shoots everyone

Tell me someone else storyboarded this sequence without telling me someone else storyboarded this sequence.

It’s nearly shot-for-shot identical and the director had no clue. But I bet whoever at Disney actually did the storyboards or animatics knew what they were referencing.

Japan has speed restrictors that turn off when the GPS detects you’re on a dedicated race track.

Any time I see a car with blacked out emblems I assume they’re going to be a problem. Rolling through stop signs, aggressive lane changes without signaling, tailgating.

The person who is in such a hurry they tailgate through a 4-way stop instead of waiting their turn. In city traffic, they’re going to still be behind the same car.  They’re not going to get to their destination any faster.  It’s just a jerk move.

When does your player-character pull out 10 hot wings and start interviewing celebrities?

It has to be the Viper concept. My dad sealed the deal on our Dodge Caravan by requesting they take their Viper concept poster off the wall and give it to me. I was 10 years old and absolutely mesmerized.

Is this a 4K problem? Because my R5-3600/5700XT combo (near the bottom of their recommended specs) gets 45ish fps at 1080p with most settings on Ultra.  

“Us PC folx, however, will have to wait until August 30 to preload the game.”

If you’ve go through Gamepass or the Microsoft store, you can preload on your PC today. Other storefronts like Steam or GOG have to wait until Aug 30

I’m not sure what SA does that is particularly worse than others. Is it because they also have lots of money that makes them bad?

From managements POV, their one job is to increase revenue.

The curse of capitalism

The Dodge Viper. In the 1989 or so, my family was in a Dodge dealership was I was captivated by a poster of the Viper concept. Dad ended up sealing the deal on a Dodge Caravan by asking for that poster right off the dealership’s wall.

As a 10 year old, I had this beauty on my bedroom wall:

Montreal also has some great cross-pollinated poutine - think poutine with jerk chicken, or my fave - this Portuguese chicken variation https://www.timeout.com/montreal/news/heres-why-we-think-this-quebec-portuguese-dish-is-a-perfect-unit-of-deliciousness-081021

Quebec’s language requirements are especially onerous. It’s not just about Anglos being required to learn French - it’s about speaking Quebec’s specific dialect of French. People who speak Metropolitan French from places like Haiti, former French colonial Africa, and even FRANCE still require language testing. And…

I wanted a four door hatch or a eurowagon. What I ended up with was a crossover because that’s basically the only segment in production if you want more trunk space than a sedan but do not need/want something on a truck chassis. 

As opposed to the racism of an entire mystical world of people training their entire lives to be the Iron Fist only for some random rich blond guy to show up and beat everyone?

Dragon Quest XI S lets you exit to desktop from the game menu. BUT NOT FROM THE TITLE SCREEN. If you accidentally go to main menu instead of exiting the game, you have to open you save back up just to exit. 

It sounds like they didn’t actually “hack” the numbers station, but instead set up a more powerful transmitter nearby and set it to the same frequency.

They drowned out the numbers station with their own signal
