Wow, Felipe Pepe was a really fun addition this week, and I especially liked the discussions came from Felipe and Frank. Not sure if those book ideas will ever happen, but fingers crossed for them to happen in some way for you, Felipe. Looking forward to the 10+ episodes of ideas that came out of this one, haha

I bought Hyper Gunsport on Steam last month, but I bought a physical copy anyway. As Yakuza fans, what are your thoughts on people comparing SF6 to Yakuza? I think it's a disservice to compare them as SF6's mode doesn't come close to it. (Why does every dang game need RPG elements and crafting bologna nowadays? I'm over it.)

(brandon:) THANK I haven't gotten to play SF6 yet but I'm in favor of a janky walk around the world mode in any game, as long as it doesn't interfere with the main thing, which it doesn't appear to in this case. I think very surface level yakuza comparisons are valid in terms of moving around a small 3D world and getting into fights, but as we know that is not what Yakuza is really *about* so aside from the surface I wouldn't say they're similar! but it doesn't bother me too much for folks to say it.
