Yakuza maps have never been particularly huge. Even in the most recent game, the new map is maybe on the scale of GTA III or Vice City. Still, they manage to pack 15-20 minigames into each game’s word map, some of which involve driving or riding around the map, plus the inevitable scavenger hunts and hidden collectibles.

The younger age brackets broke slightly in favor of Harris. It was the folks between mid-life crisis and retirement that broke hard for Trump.

Next up: Skyrim. “Hey, you. You’re finally awake.”

GeForce 256 on my first Windows computer when I went to college. Before that, I was using motherboard graphics on a series of Macs growing up.

Such an upgrade over the previous two. Three whole cities to explore, plus the countryside. They managed to stream the world data from the disc as you moved about, so no more loading screens between islands like III and VC had. This was the first GTA where you could swim, so water was no longer a death trap, and the first to introduce skills, so you could swim further and faster as you got better.

The idea was one computer on the LAN would hold the “talking stick” (the token) and transmit whatever data it needed to, then pass the token off to the next computer in the ring. If a computer received the token and didn’t have anything to transmit, it’d just pass on the token. The problem would be detecting when one of the computers in the loop had gone offline or crashed and taken the token with it. After some amount of time with no traffic, some system was responsible for generating a new token and an amended turn order. Similar problems existed when a new computer wanted to get added to the rotation.

Interesting use of terms. In Discworld Dwarven society, being lowborn would be a good thing and while being high born is only one step below surface dweller. The dwarves are ruled by the Low King (or Queen). The lower you are, the deeper you are in the mine, and the more rich and important you must be.

Midnight Suns did a really good job with the Marvel tactical combat concept. Let’s see how this compares.

I’m guessing those names come from the very top.

The lines for the two controller ports are duplicated on the NES’s expansion port, so this device is able to send inputs into the NES as if it were a real set of controllers. I’d call it a neat hack, but it doesn’t require any hardware modification to the system other than removing the expansion port cover, so it feels much too clean to call a hack.

No one’s said pineapple yet? Hawaiian is a staple pizza variety.

It didn’t matter what the question was, Trump kept turning it back to immigration. He’s only got one talking point, and it’s based on fear of the other.

“You are the least useful steam engine I’ve ever heard of!”

“Ah, but you have heard of me.”

Usually Gwen Shotwell, SpaceX COO, is good at keeping Elon in check and not screwing up SpaceX business. I wonder what happened this time.

I swear the people in unit 402 are illegally subletting their place on AirBnB.

I love how, despite Musk’s best efforts, 3/4 of the internet still calls the site Twitter.

The way this usually works out is you loose all the good employees and you’re left with the dregs who were unable to find another remote position in time.

The 90’s Star Wars arcade game would be nice, but it’d require a licensing deal with Disney, so it’s probably never going to happen as a Yakuza minigame.

The Yakuza games are very serious crime dramas with absolutely bonkers side quests and minigames.
