[@ababyharpseal6534]

The diagnostic criteria for autism includes flat emotional expression, difficulty with social interaction, restrictive and obsessive interests (eg; finding Lan Di)… Ryo genuinely does meet the requirements, lmao

[@NiCoNiCoNiCola]

Half of characters in this series fit the requirements

These two are perfect for each other.

And who could forget ryo stopping random people on the street and asking "Do you know where i can participate in a street fight?" Im pretty sure ryo isnt right in the head its like he has never heard people converse before.

[@aresef]

too many kicks to the head

[@NiCoNiCoNiCola]

​@@aresef ain't that a kick in the head?

Shenmue had AI writing before AI existed.

the power of translating Japanese to English online in 2000

[@MultiLex101]

😁😁😂😂😂

[@frenchkaky]

Why does that old creepy man in green keep circling around Ryo?

[@KennyGorehound]

This conversation was so unnecessary, I can’t believe it was in the game. “Is it because I’m a woman?” *Is fighting some woman for 10 minutes on the street*

[@monochromesoul5873]

I find it funny that's the part you chose to focus on in the whole convo lmao

[@NotGuy64]

I don't remember Ryo sounding so... unnatural

[@justinw7323]

People would really hate Ryo in 2020-2022 if he were real.

[@kid--presentable]

Why so?

[@davebob4973]

i love him

[@pickanyhalt2747]

who doesn't love our boy Ryo

[@kid--presentable]

@@pickanyhalt2747 absolutely

[@hellothere3609]

Which is why he would beat the shit out of them.

[@promaster424]

I'm sure I can make this conversation more awkward than Ryo did

[@stormysoup1083]

He's just like me fr fr

[@EriniusT]

Felt this

[@gdust6579]

Its funny cause i have HFA and sometimes i repeat lines and i was like oh, i just did a video game dialogue NPC line repeating thing ._.

[@djtomoy]

He also walks like he’s pooped his pants

You do actually get to fight her to unlock the Duck Racing mini-game.

She sounds like Google AI

I'm autistic myself though.

[@incognitod8444]

they butchered the audio when they ported it. There were lots of glitches like this

[@davebob4973]

whats so cool about picking on background sound effects in a 20 year old game

[@TheFrenchy82]

I bought the game day one, back in the days... Well.. i like retro gaming but early 3D games were bad sometimes. It's pretty old in 2022.... Too bad Sega didn't try to remake shenmue with a new graphical engine !!

[@kaiokenx20_]

It's because Yakuza exists. It is like Shenmue but better in every aspect.

[@jeanlundi2141]

[@DJWhylafihya]

@@kaiokenx20_as a huge fan of both games yakuza has a much diff vibe than Shenmue ... Shenmue is so much more peaceful and there's a certain magic to the game that only works (IMO) on the graphic engine it was built ... Almost wish they made Shenmue 3 on the same graphic engine

[@kevorka3281]

Ummm....

[@chipBG2003]

I'm actually have autism

[@andreatoppi5627]

Siri vs Alexa. Lol, this game is so overrated.

[@foolishoxx1228]

It’s not that overrated

[@DudeLongcouch]

Play it with the Japanese VA. It's literally the best game ever made.

[@lomeiniac7536]

Agree! Also, I loved your shenmue 3 streams Mr. Longcouch!! 😆

[@Gaff.]

​@@DudeLongcouch The English was too funny for me to switch and Shenmue is still fantastic. Haven't finished 3 yet but 1 and 2 are incredible. I've seen a lot of the Japanese VA, though, and if you want a serious, well crafted drama, it delivers.

[@DudeLongcouch]

@@lomeiniac7536 Thanks :)
