I believe people who say it is worth getting through this to the rest of Twin Peaks but this is some of the worst TV I have ever watched.

When this came up in Twin Peaks, my wife exclaimed “JESUS CHRIST” and I cackled for like 30 seconds.

Okay so at this point three things are clear:
1) They are planning for Yakuza 9 to be Ichiban vs. the Daidojj, which is assembling a suicide squad of old Yakuza of which Kiryu was meant to be a cornerstone.
2) Absolutely no one cares about or for this plot point.

Genuinely baffled why they didn't call this game League of Legends Fighting or Arcane Battle or something like that.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

By far the most “Huh, I never realized this was SO influenced by Twin Peaks” realization is FFVII’s soundtrack.
Some of the tracks are near identical at times.

Watched season 2 episode 10 of Twin Peaks and am in the middle of 11 and I feel like this has lasted ten hours. Every single subplot I am begging for the sweet release of death. If I have to watch another Nadine in high school scene or anything with James I might just cry.

Georgia would have to drop out because they would leave for the event two hours early instead of three hours early and not anticipate an accident on the highway ground traffic to a halt.
coming up with a new idea called "driving like shit olympics". no more bland, unprovable statements like "california drivers are the WORST" allowed. whichever state wins every 4 years gets a moonshot-sized public transit investment to get those fuckers off the road

It's wild how many mainstream outlets wrote about this but did zero research into any of it.
Fans at an All Elite Wrestling match broke out into an anti-ICE chant that briefly paused the pro-wrestling match and appeared to startle one of the wrestlers in the ring.

Okay, so a lot of quote-tweets and responses to this unambiguously good thing are of the breed of "Wow, EVEN WRESTLING FANS are against ICE now!" and "Even the world's dumbest fans figured it out!!"
Which 1) tells me you don't know anything about modern wrestling and 2) tells me you're an asshole.

The most exciting thing about that direct was an implication-through-release-date that we're likely going to see FFVIIR 3 at Summer Games Fest.
