Life advice: If you don't understand something, take the Kiryu Kazuma route.

Be a himbo/bimbo.

Would Kiryu understand this? Maybe not!

Would Kiryu be a dick because he doesn't understand? Absolutely not!

OMG it's #Omori from the hit video game

I started Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name recently and just met Akame.
As soon as I opened the menu to talk to her this song came on and I said, "Well there's #VGMWednesday sorted"

Really digging the crispy synthy tracks in the latest RGG games.

It helps that Akame seems like a badass so far

#Yakuza is great for its many realistic characters

It's so silly and banal after 10 games in, but I still kinda enjoy going into a restaurant in #Yakuza #LikeADragon and ordering the ENTIRE menu and imagining my little guy just eat the entire fucking thing in one sitting, Homer Simpson style.

Five people in Fukuoka Prefecture have filed a lawsuit seeking roughly ¥22.5 million in damages against top leaders of the Yamaguchi-gumi, the country’s largest yakuza syndicate. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04/16/japan/crime-legal/yamaguchi-gumi-lawsuit-damages/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #crimelegal #yakuza #yamaguchigumi #kudokai #japanesepolice #gangs #fukuoka

About to beat the Sujimon championship in #Yakuza #LikeADragon Infinite Wealth.

Solid game, the main plot I'm less invested into tbh but the game is far more Extra and silly esp in enemy design and the Pokemon and Animal crossing sidequests are great, basically full fledged games, if mostly reused content and lower budget of course.

It's Chill Voice Chat Time, I'm playing #yakuza infinite wealth and chatting in my #discord voice chat come join us if you wanna chat, bring a mic

The Yamaguchi-gumi yakuza group has submitted a letter to the police pledging an end to turf battles, a move that has raised concern over how a rival syndicate might react. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04/08/japan/crime-legal/japan-yamaguchi-gumi-end-yakuza-war/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #crimelegal #yamaguchigumi #yakuza #organizedcrime #japanesepolice

The Rising Sun of Death is the ninth episode of Miami Vice's fourth season. It premiered on December 4, 1987. Sonny Crockett is house-hunting with new bride Caitlin Davies (Sheena Easton) - but duty calls. The Yakuza - the Japanese equivalent of the Mafia - is present in Miami. The brilliant soundtrack includes The Smiths.

More than 10,000 people were arrested last year for crimes linked to “anonymous and fluid criminal groups” known as "tokuryū", including scams and dark part-time jobs, the National Police Agency announced on Thursday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04/03/japan/crime-legal/npa-organized-crime/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #crimelegal #npa #socialmedia #organizedcrime #fraud #japanesepolice #yakuza #gangs

Started up #Yakuza / #LikeADragon Infinite Wealth, good and different so far, smoother than the first game.

Need to unlock more party members and the job system again though, still pretty early. Slow walked the story for a bit.

I like that despite being opposites on plenty of axes, Ichiban and Kiryu are both huge himbos, the true requirement of being a male yakuza protag.

I harbour a fantasy, that the government of #Japan, or the #Yakuza will be so offended by #OpenAI stealing #Miyazaki that they kill Sam Altman… in a really obvious, “send a message” fashion. You know, so it’s clear the process took a while, and he was conscious until the end.

Sometimes you've been playing the same game for the last 4 months.

And while it's still fun, you kind of want to play something else.

But you know if you do, you'll come back to this a month later and you've forgotten how to play it.

#SteamNextFest recommendation for #PromiseMascotAgency. It's kinda like if someone took one of the wacky #Yakuza minigames and made an indie game out of it. It's got surreal humor paired with a main character's earnest desire to do right by people... and by a sentient half-cat half-yam mascot who really wants to work in the world of adult videos.

Anyone who misses Takaya Kuroda voicing a disgraced Yakuza should give the Promise Mascot Agency demo a go (it's also on console): https://store.steampowered.com/app/2585830/Promise_Mascot_Agency/

The writing is hilarious and well worth the 90 minutes the demo is time-limited to.
