Yakuza 0 Director's Cut makes a great game worse while erasing gaming history

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:
www.avclub.com/yakuza-0-dir...

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 have some program installations to do, so I'm going to try to play more Suikoden V tonight at around 10PM ET. I assume that I'll be able to tonight, but if I can't, I'll let you know, and then tomorrow should be good. I hope to see you there!

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

Patreon Policy Team emailed creators saying they'll host a livestream clarifying existing 18+ guidelines on DEC 11.

If you're a creator please show up!
You can submit issues you'd like them to cover in the rsvp form.

Live with the Policy Team
Join the Policy Team on Thursday, December 11th (12-1pm EST) for a livestreamed conversation about proposed updates to Patreon's Community Guidelines. The discussion will cover new policy proposals around Teen Safety and Harassment, and will further clarify existing Adult/18+ guidelines based on recent creator feedback.

Your feedback is a huge part of how policy at Patreon is formed, and no changes will be finalized until we've had a chance to talk with you about them. The last policy livestream had a record number of attendees, and we'd love to keep you just as involved as we close out 2025.

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being.

Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.

A quoted tweet from a user named Sam that reads: "How Twitter is rigged
Type in all caps because you're excited? Lowers your reputation. Include links? Your score goes down. It's like the Credit Score system from Hell.
And given Cisgender is treated as a slur & MAGA boosted, you can guess what's categorized as 'offensive'"

The tweet they quoted is from user SADIQ and reads:
"Tweepcred is X's reputation system
Based on your behavior, you get a tweepcred score
It determines your reach
Break the algo rules, you score goes down and your reach disappears
What are the rules of the X algo tho? Glad you asked."

SADIQ includes a photo of Twitter's algorithm code that calculates a user's reputation.

SADIQ continues:
"Post 'offensive text'? 80% reach reduction
Offensive username? 80% reach reduction
All caps tweet? That's seen as 'shouting. Major penalization.
Include links? Yup, penalized"
