Just for a bit of fun, here's a behind-the-scenes glimpse of us trying to get a screenshot for today's post. It should have been a 30 second job, but Kowloon's residents and Shenmue II's lock-on feature had other ideas... #SundaySHENanigans

Stephen Miller’s Wife @katiemiller : “Can you cite the statute that makes the boat bombings illegal?” @bakarisellers.bsky.social : “The due process clause in the constitution.”

What he said: 💯 🎯

Home depot has always been homophobic and a racist company. Hispanic construction workers spend a large amount of money there because it's usually cheaper than Lowe's. I sincerely hope that everyone will boycott Home depot and every company listed below through out 2025. Don't finance our enemies💰

Happy Birthday to one of the most underrated and amazing video game consoles of all time! The Sega Dreamcast was really ahead of its time and brought great innovations and spectacular ideas to the home television screens. #Dreamcast #Sega #Shenmue25 #LetsGetShenmue4 #Sonic

Australia’s emissions from fossil fuels down as electricity from renewables passes 40% While greenhouse gas emissions fell 2.2% or 9.9m tonnes last financial year, new policies are needed to meet the 2035 target www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

“The EU’s highest court has ruled that same-sex marriages must be respected throughout the bloc and rebuked Poland for refusing to recognise a marriage between two of its citizens that took place in Germany.” Some welcome news today. 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈

God I love the goofy way a ferret hops around instead of running when they’re really happy or excited

For British citizens.

Taskmaster is the most consistently funny show on television/streaming. This last season was unexpectedly fantastic.

DID YOU KNOW? The barbershop has a see-thru door, so the developers actually animated NPCs entering turning and walking deeper inside!?🤯 Hope you enjoy a classic Walk #Shenmue today 😀 🌦️ youtu.be/cK2CeBxKQxo 🌂 #Sega #Dreamcast #シェンムー #Shenmue25 #Shenmue #RetroGame #HiddenDetails #Secrets #ASMR

Genius

A belated happy #caturday #catsofbluesky

This dude has GOT to go. Let’s make it happen:

Vaccines DO NOT cause autism - there is extensive research showing this. Resurrecting old, discredited, fraudulent work is shameful. Vaccine-preventable illnesses are serious - this is going to cause real harms. This is dangerous & disappointing.

🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

I should be working on other things but I keep getting distracted by my "the forklift job minigame from Shenmue but an entire game of it" game idea

This is brutal. The useful lesson of this Administration -- it's often faster to destroy something by empowering insecure incompetents than through active interference. Corrosion is more effective and widespread than interference.

Word of the Day: MUMPSIMUS – someone who obstinately sticks to their old ideas in spite of evidence that they are wrong.

Shoutout to Aberdeen's number one backpack thief, Wong! 🎒 Shenmue the Animation did such a great job of reimagining our favourite characters for a differnt medium. We still want a second season @crunchyroll.com! 👀 #ThrowbackThursday #SEGA #LetsGetShenmue4 #ShenmueAnime2

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Naoyuki is such a good friend to let Ryo just borrow his motorcycle like that in the middle of the night and he doesn't even question why he needs it and as soon as Ryo says it's important, he just hands him the keys and says be careful. #Shenmue #Shenmue25 #Shenmue3Enhanced #LetsGetShenmue4

The BBC did not create the impression that Trump orchestrated January 6th. Trump himself created that impression, through his speeches on the day and in advance. He was indicted by Congress for it and only escaped a criminal trial by... becoming president again.

Shenmue has truly stood the test of time because of how much influence it had 25 years ago and still has two decades later. @sega-west.bsky.social finally acknowledging it's importance on the 25th anniversary of its release in the West is really something great to behold. #Shenmue25

👁️👁️ youtu.be/GcWLJFG6yz0 He roams the docks.. looking for..what..? Or... who? Had fun editing this one together but the full video just hops around different locations 😉 Happy #Halloween Everyone!! #Sega #Dreamcast #シェンムー #AM2 #Shenmue #Halloween2025 #Scary #Look #Harbor #Rain #Night #Dark #Spooky

When the U.S. military tested their AI human-movement recognition robot on a group of Marines, all of them managed to approach it undetected. One was disguised as a fir tree; another somersaulted for 300 metres; two hid under a cardboard box and giggled the whole distance.

FUCK BEZOS...every way you can!!

Ghoulish scenes in #London #UK for the Halloween #TeslaTakedown.

As most are aware by now, ICE is slamming the north side today. They've been seen in Andersonville, Rogers Park, West Ridge, Edgewater + Evanston. Several people abducted, agents still active. Shared with permission—rapid response whistle team at Bryn Mawr & Broadway this morning.

Word of the Day: ULTRACREPIDATE – to critisise beyond your scope of knowledge.

The Hazuki Residence is like home to Shenmue fans and it feels like we grew up here even though I'm not from Japan or personally grew up here myself but the games have left such an impact on me and many other fans. #Shenmue #Shenmue3Enhanced #LetsGetShenmue4

Guizhang was one of Ryo's most useful allies in the Shenmue series and also taught him the Swallow Dive, a pretty handy move in his arsenal and to use on his journey. He's the reason Ryo made it to Hong Kong #Shenmue #LetsGetShenmue4 #Shenmue3Enhanced

Top 10 Rally Reminders for #NoKingsDayOct18th

Tchaikovsky was able to quit his day job with the support of a wealthy patron. Her only condition for her support was that they never meet in person.

Thank you, RoW….🩷

Izumi Takano was actually supposed to be what Nozomi was going to be in Shenmue 1 but they ended up going with Nozomi as we know her now. Izumi Takano was eventually saved for Shenmue 2 and that was the right choice in the end. #Shenmue #Shenmue2 #Shenmue3Enhanced

In 1982, 43% of fathers in the UK had never changed a nappy. By 2000, this had dropped to 3%.

Sketch dump of my four favourite characters from #shenmue I want a Wan Chai spin off anime so much! Not as much as I want Shenmue 4, but while making the game why not have a cheeky little anime series set in Hong Kong? What are the Heavens up to without Ren? #letsgetshenmue4
