I mean, isn't the opposite extreme end of that argument "you can kill anybody with anything so let's ban everything"

Why are people only doing 2 in a row? Is there a limit to how many times you can post or something?

I didnt say that. Im not allowing anything. If you want to look like a clown, then go ahead. We will just call you out if youre trying to steal our culture and not actually be involved in it.

People want to be black but not black when shit hits the fan

How is stealing anyone's culture? Why is it wrong for someone to wear a hairstyle they like? And how is that "wanting to be black"?

I've never liked this "We/they" mentality.

Absolutely hate it. 9 Times out of 10, they dont give a fuck about the culture. They do nothing to contribute and they are quiet when shit pops off. Braids and dreads are simply a culture that people grew up under. So it makes no sense for a white Person in the suburbs to retain any of that culture.

Also I don't understand this. Its not like people are wearing these hairstyles to purposely offend black people or anything malicious, they're just wearing it because they like how it looks. Seems like a waste of energy to get upset about something as small as that.

I know several people I went to high school with that had planned kids at 19/20. It was weird to find out.

Eh, I think it depends. I don't have kids, but if I did, I would never hit them for something that was an accident or that they didn't know why it was wrong. I would try to teach them first and if I had to, punish them in other nonviolent ways instead of hitting them.

But I've seen kids who are violent ,disrespectful, don't listen to what anyone tells them, attack their parents and siblings, just generally do whatever they want, etc. At that point, what do you do? I'll admit, I'd probably hit my kid in that situation. No serious injuries of course, but I'd hit them hard enough to put them in their place and show them that they aren't in charge. Then I'd talk to them about their behavior after.

I think the problem with a lot of parents who hit their kids is that they use that as a substitute for talking to their kids. As long as its not overboard, I don't think hitting is too bad as long as you only do it when absolutely necessary and you still talk to your kid about what they did.

I don't know. I don't have kids lol

I had a job like that once. Liked my coworkers, didn't really mind the work at all. Its just the management were a bunch of asshats, everyone hated them. Not all of them, some were cool, but there was a couple few that made it miserable for everyone. I won't get into specifics since that's not the point, but basically yeah, I hated them. The whole time working there I pretty much never let go of anything they did that pissed me off.

Anyway, on the day they let me go, in my head I just wanted to be like "fuck you, you're a bunch of assholes", you know that sort of thing. But I just said "okay thanks for your time" and it felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders and I stopped caring about the things that made me mad. I don't regret how I handled it.

Also, not really relevant, but fun note about that place; my shift started at 4am, 2 hours before they opened, so with our shift, there had to be a manager there too to unlock the doors and stuff because only the managers have keys. Well one time, they accidentally scheduled a manager who was on vacation to open, so we all waited outside from 4am until like 5:30 when another manager finally showed up and we could get in. The funny part was that this happened again on the same week. And iirc, one of the times was like an important day for the store too lol.

You want to carry 7 to 10 extra pounds on your rifle that's already 14 pounds? I'm glad you're not making any decisions

CEs_EFG posted...

It's not about money it's that those things are heavy on your arms and make it harder to shoot In any type of situation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M203_grenade_launcher

They weigh 3 pounds next excuse?

You're not just carrying the extra weight in general, you're trying to aim a gun steady and hold it while shooting, which will be harder with any more weight. Even if it only makes it a little bit easier to handle your gun, isn't that preferable since you can just carry hand grenades normally, so they're not in the way? And I would imagine they shoot their guns normally than using grenades anyway.

And no need to be snarky dude, come on.

Always having them on the rifle would make no difference to your aim...

This. Its extra weight.

That's why you learn to aim the launcher in basic instead of spending time throwing them...

My point being grenade launchers don't just pop the grenade out, they shoot with a lot of force and there's no way of adjusting that, at least as far as I know. An arm is easier to work with in general.

You don't continuously throw grenades...

If you needed to throw grenades into multiple places in a short time span, it would still be faster and simpler to throw instead of using a launcher.

I'm not in the military and I've never used a grenade/grenade launcher, but I'd imagine its harder to aim a grenade launcher at the right arc than to simply throw it. And its probably easier/faster to throw grenades then to have to keep loading them into a grenade launcher. And the added weight of the launcher probably isn't good, especially for aiming the guns when using them normally, if we're talking about those underbarrel grenade launchers that is.

Banning guns is impossible, there's too many guns in the country already and trying to take everyones' would create a lot more problems that need solutions before the former is even attempted. It wouldn't be as simple as just passing a law to ban guns.

I get that people are upset about stuff like this and think some sort of solution should be made to try and prevent these types of things, but wanting to ban guns is just a knee jerk reaction that wouldn't really work or be possible.

That title is hilarious. But I really hate that "we/they" mentality a lot of people have.

I think you can get even a pretty good gaming laptop at that price. Try looking up Predator gaming laptops. The ones I've seen have specs like i7-7700 cpu, 16GB ram, GTX 1060-6GB, which would make browsing the internet pretty quick and easy. That's what I'd get if I had that budget, but I'm not much of an expert on computers. Its probably overkill for you if you're not playing too many demanding games and you can probably get one that does what you want just as well but for a cheaper price.

Here's an Amazon link if you wanna take a look at it anyway

https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Predator-Helios-GeForce-PH317-51-787B/dp/B073PY18CN/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1518625656&sr=8-4

And I have a friend who got a refurbished laptop last year for about $200 or $300. i5 and an SSD, supposedly its pretty fast and performs well for basic stuff like internet browsing. Not much in the way of gaming though.

That's kind of a dumb law. imo, even if he allowed them to make all that and it did become a sort of landmark, if he still privately owns the building, he should be able to remove the art whenever he wants, vandalism or not.

Russia was about to set their sights on Japan and we couldn't let the world see them win our front of the war. We had to whip our cocks out and raze the land before russia or japan even knew what was next. Really fucked up.

japan was arguably as evil as the nazis when dealing with china and russia was brutal and barbaric, using the a bombs factually saved hundreds of thousands of lives

americans like to tell themselves that lie to justify being just as bad as the japanese in ww2

But its true, a lot of the Japanese were responsible for some really horrible shit during WW2. Not trying to defend the US's A bombs though, those were horrible too, necessary or not.

I've always liked these games, but just like with Crash, if they don't add or change much to the game itself, I'll pass. I've already played them and if I wanna play them again, I'll just play the PS1 versions, which I like the look of better because they're what I remember playing with.

I'll always see my friends' younger siblings as kids no matter how old they get tbh

I don't know why tipping is an expected thing anyway. I think people should be tipped if they do an exceptional job and go above and beyond, but its not something that should be the standard for normal, average work. The good people deserve it sure, but tipping every single time no matter how good the person was seems ridiculous to me.

And I have no problem with people accepting tips but don't bitch about how you don't get enough if someone tips you less than you hoped, that just makes you look like an asshat. I don't feel bad for this girl that got fired, especially since she went after the customer online.

Probably the recent WWE games, but only because they're so bad that they'd be easy to fix.

Sure, as long as they aren't assholes about or get angry that we have different opinions. That goes for anything though really.

I remember being excited about this last gen lol.

But if they remaster MGS4 or bring back one of the MGOs, it will be cool. I can't see them bringing back the online though. Either way, I'm not gonna buy it, I've bought these games enough times. I think more so than RE4.

The other animals weren't bred to form the bond and be companions. They were either bred for food or are animals that simply already existed.

So if someone started breeding dogs to be eaten, it would be okay?

If they start from the wolf until it's a dog and do so without making emotional bonds along the way, then yes.

Fair enough then, I can't say you're inconsistent

Dogs are pets. Theyre genetically predisposed to love people.

A dog sees its owner as its parent, best friend and hero all rolled up into one.

Dogs detect bombs, guide blind people, protect people, dig up earthquake victims and even go to war with us.

Fuck dog eating it is barbaric and evil.

Watch people pretend they don't see this post and continue to ask what makes it different.

You can bond with any animal and or use them for other purposes.

Why is it okay to eat some animals but not others? I might see your point if you were against eating all animals, but why is eating dogs okay but not others? Also I think its safe to say the people eating dogs aren't the same ones using them to detect bombs or protect anyone.

I don't think you need a VR headset to be able to play that.

No, I don't think so, but iirc, the devs said the only reason it got made was because 0 and Kiwami 1 did so well in the west. Plus the localizations have been on a roll recently, I'd be surprised if we didn't get K2 in 2019 or even the end of 2018.

every argument in favor of eating dog can be used in favor of eating humans. just remember that the next time you try to actually argue that "dogs are animals too" bullshit.

Are you vegan?

no

i'm just not an idiot

Why is it okay for you to eat the animals you eat but not dogs? What about people that don't eat cows for example and believe they're sacred? Why are they wrong but you're right?

Humans didn't create cows.

And that makes a difference why? They're still living creatures.

thanks, I was asking because I enjoyed the original, and I was wondering how it was after the changes

Yeah Kiwami 1 plays just like 0 but with some improvements here and there, like being able to switch styles mid combo or during other actions.

Kiwami 2 plays just like Yakuza 6 but faster and with some improvements. There's a demo for 6 coming out on the 27th if you wanna try it out. And there's already a demo of 6 and Kiwami 2 on the Japanese PSN store.

Nope, people showed them they can get away with it and make a lot more money so they have no incentive to ever stop as long as that stays true.

And if people don't pay, they'll decide it's not profitable and drop it entirely.

Sure, but how many people would actually stop paying? Especially when you factor in the kids who wanna play online games and the parents who pay because they don't mind dropping some extra cash to give their kid what they want. Or people who only play online games. No one likes paying but a lot of people aren't willing to stop either.

In some places, eating cow is a mortal sin. Now imagine how you'd react if a bunch of people came here and told us to stop eating steak and burgers.

This is pretty much my reaction. I don't think I'd eat dog but I wouldn't go to another country and tell them not to.

When black people complain about racism, we are told to shut up or else you all will elect Trump again, yet I'm supposed to empathize with the poor white person who feels discriminated against?

People telling you to shut up about racism are assholes if that's what they're saying but if you don't empathize with other people who feel they've been discriminated against, what makes you different from people who dismiss your complaints? And what about people who fall into category B but not category A? If a white person feels they've been discriminated against, that doesn't mean they're in the same boat as the people saying stuff like "this is why Trump won". I don't mean to trivialize it, I know these things aren't that simple, I'm just saying generalizing people and lumping them all into groups they aren't really a part of isn't good for anyone.

I can see why you would do that honestly. When I was a junior in high school, I had a class with a bunch of freshman and the teacher for that class got injured so we had a sub for the rest of the year. The guy was so polite and timid and never yelled at anyone. I remember once, a bunch of kids just kept talking and talking even when he asked them to stop, and he couldn't get on with the lesson for like 10 minutes. I think another student had to yell at them before they finally shut up. I felt bad for the guy, there's so many dick teachers and they were giving shit to the one nice one. No one really liked the actual teacher for that class because she was kind of a bitch at times but she did get everyone to shut up when she wanted.

On the other hand, I think if you're too strict and needlessly being a dick, the kids will just hate you and start disobeying more just because they don't like you. The teachers that got the most respect and had the most well behaved classes were the teachers that came down on shit when they needed to but were otherwise cool and understanding and just got along with the kids. I think that's probably an important thing, if the kids like you.

The one teacher everyone loved was a huge dude who was pretty cool with everyone, but whenever kids fought, he'd pick them both up in each hand by their shirts and take them to the office lol

But I don't know, I'm not a teacher and never would be because fuck dealing with kids

It's never "wrong" to not pursue something. Do whatever the fuck you want to do. But I'd argue that one isn't a true artist (this goes for any artistic medium) if their only motivation is recognition.

I agree with this.

I think being yourself means to just relax and not try too hard. Not necessarily to ignore your flaws and refuse to change anything, but just be true to yourself and don't pretend to be something you're not.

Improving yourself to change and actually be a certain way is a different thing from just pretending to be that way, if that makes sense. Its weird to explain.

Well good job kids, now no one gets to be in the play lol. As far as how the school handled this, I don't think this is the worst way they could've. If they swapped the white girl for someone else purely because of her race, there'd be another backlash for that. Canceling the play sucks for the kids but the school covers their own asses this way. Probably.

Too bad some kids getting pissed can ruin it for everyone though.

but she turned out to be a huge bro and funny.

This... drifts away as the series goes on. I honestly think Haruka is at her finest in Y1. Later games kinda make her a little too generic, a little too "girl next door", a little too "too pure for this sinful earth". And yes, that includes her playable stint in Y5.

Personally, I like Haruka in all the games. But yeah, looking back, I agree, she is kind of an innocent goodie two shoes. And she's kinda dopey at times lol but her interactions with Kiryu are always cute and I think she's still likeable, at least if you can tolerate child characters.

There's a scene I like in one of them where Kiryu is at the orphanage, chopping onions or something, and one of the kids runs up and starts yelling to him about something. Then Kiryu almost gets mad but Haruka yells at the kid like "you're not supposed to bother him while he's cooking!" and then she and Kiryu give each other the thumbs up or something like that

CyricZ posted...

Not nearly as much. Walk around time with Haruka is pretty much confined to Premium Adventure.

Yep. There's a good amount of walking around with Haruka in Yakuza 3 and a really small amount in 2, but I don't think Kiryu walks around the city with her at all in 4, at least during the story. But that's mainly because that game focuses on the other characters more than Kiryu. As for Yakuza 5, I think answering if you get to walk around with her or not is a bit of a spoiler so I won't talk about that one. You get to play as her in Y5 tho

*fairly early Yakuza 4 spoilers*
The first character you play as wound up starting a business using that same money. Pretty much stuffed his coat with it as it fell.

Apparently, the hobo with the blue hat is supposed to be Akiyama so its a little disappointing they didn't use his character model for Kiwami. It would've been a cool cameo.

Its still a really decent amount but yeah, its nowhere near as much as it sounds like when you're a kid.

I know more women with kids that look like the girl in the first pic than in the 2nd.

Dead Souls looks fun from videos. Is it really trash? >_>

The gameplay is more repetitive than ever and pretty boring. The story also isn't that interesting. The substories are entertaining though, there's still that Yakuza charm and its cool to see Kamurocho all destroyed. Give it a shot if you want and you're a big fan, I'm just saying don't expect to be blown away. Go in with low expectations and you'll appreciate it more.

Also, is there a version of 3 in english that doesnt have all the side content cut from it?

Not that I know of. I think there were some fans making an English patch for the Japanese version but its not done yet as far as I know.

I don't know exactly what was removed from 3, but its fine, its still fun to play and I don't feel like anything extremely important was cut. My enjoyment of it wasn't hurt at least.

When I was 13 or 14, I started mowing lawns and shoveling snow for neighbors. I did that for years and when I was 18, I worked with my neighbor a few times who did a bunch of random stuff like cleaning out old houses or painting rooms and stuff like that. I didn't get my first real, over the table job until I was 19, I was a stocker at a Lowes.
