The 16-bit retro-future of crustacean-based transportation
If you're coming from one of the earlier games or remakes, like Kiwami 1 or 2, then this version of Majima has to be pretty jarring, huh.

I'm of the opinion that he's 100% consistent through and through, but that's going to be a discussion for way, _waaay_ down the line.

Sadly Majima doesn’t have any special moves involving giant traffic cones in this game. :(

I look forward to your character discussion of him, Chaos. Glad to know I’m not alone with my opinion.

The quickest thing I could find for Majima's throw is Rey Mysterio's West Coast Pop, except backwards?

Also kinda like a Victory Roll from the Electric Chair position but there's a bunch more sideways motion to it? I dunno.

I'm gonna hold you to that discussion when we reach the right time (say, oh, a year from now). Majima is one of the most fascinating characters in the series for reasons that have nothing to do with his traffic cone antics.

edit: Scott Strichart wasn't on the team that redid the Yakuza 3 translation, but I'm pretty sure that's the first time he hasn't translated most/all of Majima's dialogue. He tweeted about it!

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
I also have many opinions about Majima. He is very much the opposite of Kiryu in many respects but it's worth talking about once we've hit the end of the game.

I'm catching up on the earlier episodes, and apparently Sega has fixed the arcade games on the PC version at some point? They always played fine, but at launch they looked horribly blurry due to a forced bilinear upscaling filter that wasn't on the PS4 version.

edit: oh hey, you picked the correct music for OutRun! Also, on the modern re-releases you can put the difficulty on Very Easy (which was also the case on the Genesis port) and never have to worry about running out of time unless you smash your face into every big rig on the road.

Did they fix autofire to actually be autofire and not slowly pressing the trigger? Because I have near broken my fingers in Space Harrier.

Crap.
OutRun on the PS4 version doesn’t have a difficulty toggle as far as I’m aware, and that can make it pretty rough to play. The checkpoints are spaced out to the point where if you wipe out once or twice, you probably won’t have time to make it.

Also, and this is kind of weird, the PS4 version uses the recording-blocking feature for the arcade challenges and ONLY for them. It’s such a weirdly specific thing to block when everything else seems to be fair game, including all the story cutscenes.

Neither does the PC version. I was talking about the 3DS (and Switch?) standalone release of OutRun, which does let you toggle the difficulty.

I can usually hit 5 million points on Yakuza 0 OutRun without too much trouble and even got to the end once, although sometimes the traffic just fucks me over or I screw up in general. On the flip side, I am completely useless at Space Harrier.

edit: Is it just me, or is the bitrate on the latest episode noticeably lower than on previous videos? There seems to be more (and bigger) compression artifacts going on, and it really sticks out on a 4K screen. The earlier videos had noticeable compression as well, but not nearly to this extent.

Re: Space Harrier chat, I think the version in Y0 has autofire but don't quote me on that, its been a while since I booted Space Harrier in Y0.

I'm gonna say that might be YouTube? I can up the bitrate I've been rendering at, which is around 12 mbps, which is roughly what I think YouTube goes with for 1080p.

I have failed Fei Hu’s training and yeah, you gotta repeat it. He doesn’t heal you either. :(

Plenty of businesses that are in almost every Yakuza game and therefore sustainable- Poppo, Don Quixote, Le March’s, Ebisu Pawn, Kanrai, Cafe Alps, Stardust Host Club, Earth Angel, Shellac, Club Sega...

Also, at least one of Fei Hu's agents is a cameo from future games. The big guy in a gray shirt and backpack, name begins with a K, is a weapons dealer in Yakuza 3, 4, 5, and Dead Souls. But yeah, Fei Hu really needs to remember the eggs!

Yeah, that sounds like YouTube compression at work.

12 Mbps should be more than good enough (it's the bitrate I use for my 1440p videos at the moment because you can barely tell the difference between that and the recommended 16 Mbps), but in practice it doesn't work that way on YouTube. Whenever I upload anything at 1080p, the YT compression process turns the video into mush regardless of the actual bitrate or how the source video looks on my computer. YouTube recommends 8-12 Mbps for 1080p, but it doesn't matter much because the end result usually looks more like half of that at most during fast-moving scenes. That's why I render all of my videos at 1440p or 4K now even if the raw footage is only 1080p (I'm not saying you should that, it just works for me :v:).

Weird that I didn't notice the issue as much in the earlier videos, though. Maybe I just wasn't paying attention.

edit: The newest video looks fine, so I'm not sure what was going on with the last one.

How do you beat up a statue?

Sledgehammers are usually pretty effective. Drills too. And you can also push one down a flight of stairs. If you're not strong enough or a flight of stairs isn't conveniently close by, get some friends and a pickup truck to help.

Have I tested this? Well, vandalism is illegal, so I take the 5th.

6%? No wonder the US has no money to maintain its infrastructure. 13%? You guys are being spoiled. Try 21% sales tax on for size. Though it's only 9% for food and certain other products and services (used to be 19 and 6, respectively but got hiked :saddowns:).

They don't because we're a loving tax haven. :eng99:
And it's not even like our own corporations are profiting from it either, unless they're multinational.

But people got angry enough after the whole dividends tax fiasco* that now they're maybe looking at taxing multinationals after all (spoilers: they won't get taxed nearly enough).


*Shell, AkzoNobel and Unilever bribed lobbied the ruling party to get rid of the dividends tax, in return Unilever would keep its HQ in the Netherlands. Literally all of everyone was against it, it would literally cost the state 1.4 billion Euros a year and it was extremely obvious that it was solely for the benefit of multinationals and these three companies, especially Unilever.
Our prime minister kept insisting it was not at all like this and that it would instead boost the economy by attracting multinationals that would otherwise never consider our country (even though every other country has dividends tax). And that no matter the decision of where Unilever would put its HQ, the tax would be scrapped.

Then the UK part of Unilever decided "naw, we're putting our HQ in the UK." And all of a sudden the PM was "re-evaluating" the previously set-in-stone change, eventually cancelling it.
