    No, I do actually mean "that's rad!", complete with dramatic zoom in and learning of new asskickery methods.

    His Majima-flavored PS4 is awesome enough to teach new fighting styles on sight.

    Ah, it was a reference. Sorry, thought you were trying to frown at people's choice of slang

    That spoiler filter on that site is so awesome because I kinda forgot what the dude with the gun in his mouths deal was, since I only know him from the flashback in zero right now, so I turned off everything and clicked 1985 and got a nice, one paragraph thing and boom Im refreshed.

    Actually now that I think about it, the fact that he's
    been sentenced to death
    may be a spoiler because I don't know if Majima knows that yet. Maybe. But either way, I remember whats up now.

    I am at the part in 0 where Majima is gonna go see what a caberet club is like, and I'm waiting until I get home to do it. I've been playing a lot of the game on remote play at work, but I need whatever happens at the Caberet club on my big TV with good sound, I feel.

    I started Kiwami yesterday, and the last thing I did was unlock the MesuKing minigame

    That is

    Uh

    Definitely an interesting take on rock-paper-scissors

    I didnt think it was possible for them to make the catfighting minigame from 0 interesting at all, but MesuKing definitely pulled it off

    I tried MesuKing and the second the menus came up my eyes went wide and I closed it in horror

    which to be fair, is exactly how I responded to mahjong and shogi

    That last paragraph is why I'll never platinum Kiwami or Zero.

    Just can't wrap my head around them.

    I understand shogi. Im fucking terrible at it and cant beat easy opponents, but i at least understand whats going on

    Mahjong though. Fuck me, i cannot wrap my brain about mahjong.

    I will beat a man's ass at MesuKing, though. Come at me, bros.

    I only understand mahjong from playing it with my parents growing up, and that was similar enough to the Japanese variant for me to play it in Yakuza

    Play Yakuza 4 - "cool they put mahjong back in, I didnt get to play it in 3". An hour later: "FUCK THIS"

    Play Dead Souls - "Maybe Ill take a break from this repetitive zombie slog with some mahjong." An hour later: "FUCK THIS"

    Yakuza 5 - "I'm gonna read some online guides and stuff and learn to play Real Mahjong, instead of trying to use the ingame guides. Maybe thats the problem." An hour later: "FUCK THIS"

    Yakuza 0 - "Okay, self, I'm just about tired of getting screwed out of trophies just cuz we're too dumb to play fuckin mahjong. This is what old ladies do in Japan. This is japanese bingo. We can do this." An hour later: "FUCK THIS"

    Kiwami - Walking past the mahjong parlor: "FUCK YOU!"

    In theory I know how Shogi works, but I'm fucking garbage at chess. At least I could probably use an online shogi-bot to get that trophy. Siccing a computer on a computer, basically.

    Not sure if the same would work for mahjong.

    It'd be tough, since mahjong also involves pouncing on opponents' discards to complete a meld for yourself. By the time you put in a move, someone else will have already taken the piece or taken their turn, making it impossible for you to claim the piece

    Everything I learned about Mahjong and Shogi I learned from The Master of Killing Time.

    So they probably rule.

    well, it's also a judo throw named for a swordsman's legendary technique, so take your pick
