Looks like you've got just a few days left to pick up a fantastic game that you know you were going to play eventually, the ludicrous action-melodrama that Shenmue evolved into, before they ruin it and increase the price from less than a tenner to fifty quid. Here's how they'll be ruining it:
PSA for anyone who needs it:
You are still able to buy Yakuza 0 from GOG in its original form and this is the recommended way to play, the Director's Cut changes some things for the worse.

See here to learn what was changed:

Yakuza 0 Director's Cut makes a great game worse while erasing gaming history
Yakuza 0 Director's Cut is out on Dec. 8. The issue? Its changes are ill-considered, and it's replacing the original on digital storefronts.

I've seen the McDonalds ad and of course it's hideous. An uncanny, misanthropic, artless nightmare.

Also extremely funny to see its generators (I refuse to call them creators because they didn't create shit) cry about slaving away for three measly weeks. Whoa, take a break Michelangelo!

The most boring post in the world, I know, but does anyone have a clue how these light bulb covers come off?
I unscrewed the white plastic ring, but there's a cover beyond it which I have no idea how to remove 😂

I'm sorry to hear that artist Ron Tiner has passed away. We collaborated on a short series I wrote for Oink! back in 1988 so I've written a piece about him on my blog today.
