It is underrated to have another person be your unofficial sleep police who keeps you from just staying up for an extra 40 minutes on your phone by being a vector for unsaid shame and embarrassment for being a sleep goblin.

As proof of how much I hate woke, I am going to highlight a game written by James Gunn. That'll show 'em.
By the way, in case anyone thought that, maybe, this review is by someone who just lacks self-awareness, rather than an anti-woke “warrior,” here’s his comment responding to people criticizing his review:

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.

I suspect they are in early production of Yakuza 9 at this point, too. Given 2, I wonder if they are going to pivot. They usually don’t plan ahead for stories and this might be validating to Yokoyama why.

3) RGG has reached the point where they are making too much. Stranger Than Heaven, Virtua Fighter, and Kiwami 3, something had to give and it very much seems that something was Kiwami 3.

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.
