Isometric fanart of multiple Majima Everywhere encounters from Yakuza Kiwami. Majima runs into Kiryu in different parts of a Kamurocho street corner in various disguises or hiding spots. Goromi, Hannya-Man, and 24-Hour Cinderella are among Majima's disguises.
KIRYU-CHAN! ๐ชโจ

deeply saddened to hear of Rebecca's passing, absolutely legendary game designer. 2025 has taken a lot of wonderful people from us far too young. RIP

just remembered the NIN Mr Self Destruct remix that has a constant looping sample of Bowie saying "wanking", looked it up, and of course it's by JG Thirlwell, which immediately made me think of @nurvuss.bsky.social

video games are all about meeting a little elf
outside the city gates that says 'ah... the pernicious
weed!' when you give him a healing herb and then
finding yourself fifteen years later saying "ah... the
pernicious weed!" to yourself in the shower
