> soy milk and soup dumplings
sounds great tbh

time to figure out what to do in taipei

muji sells coaster collection binders so now I've got a filled page of women + two idiots

at least we got an ~ikemen~ char coaster?!

i told dovac to god hand char or challia and he fucking pulled xavier

Sunrise seems to be working on that via their YouTube lol

surprised they showed hathaways amuro/quess/chan flashback in the recent one

before long, you'll be able to watch all of Hathaway 2 through all of these clips of hathaway that sunrise keeps releasing

Someone finished a Cave Story rap concept album they started in 2009.

youtu.be/faBrzVHm7ow?...

putting on the cloud glam is my mouse ears

aki called ff14 players "square enix adults" the other day and like yeah that's a perfect term ff14 is their disneyland we even already call it a theme park mmo

plastic case from daiso full of single use plastic slips also from daiso

never go to a collab cafe or pop up store without your plastic case of single use plastic to protect merch with (because opening the little sticky things they come in every time is fucking annoying)

dont forget your id card too

i figured it out by the 2nd ibo cafe tho...!
the first reservation = order the 1 drink minimum + buy goods + unbox goods and package in clear stuff from daiso
the second reservation = to actually try the menu lol

i think she was trying to collect 20 cards for one character and she ended up with 19/20 when the cafe ended

when i went the ibo cafe, i booked the first seating, and traded w/someone before i went back home. she asked me how many times i was going that day, and i was like... oh... im only going once...? i need to work today...? and she was like oh i see ive booked every time slot today to get bonus cards

convenience stores and gacha things sell card packs and i bought a few trying to get eugene's dumb card. over the past week, i've bought 1-2 of these packs whenever i saw them, have bought 10 total, and i've gotten one eugene (normal rarity card) and 2 bael (prism/rare card)...................

(...and even if you want kudelia/atra/biscuit, lbr, you are better off waiting for this person who ordered 100 badges to give up trying to trade and list them all on mercari for dirt cheap to get rid of them w/o selling to kbooks/book off/etc)

(but i guess if you find ppl to buy in for mika/orga/gaelio/macky/shino, then it's like "each can badge cost 1k yen")

(this is still ??? to me because no one is going to ask for kudelia/atra/biscuit. akihiro and ride are possible but pretty rare? and those 5 make up half of the pool, so you're potentially wasting 25k?)

they dont just collect an itabags worth of pins

they take the bullet train to fukuoka to go to the popup store at canal city mall when there aren't enough trades after the tokyo store closes

back during the ff7 days, one of the Japanese fans explained to me how they can afford all of this ("we don't pay for rent or car, the big ticket stuff always gets released around the time we get our end of year / holiday bonus") and I'm still like "how do you afford this"

...however, I did realize I wanted the entire set of kumamine style acrylic stands...

oh jk they're looking for people to buy in to their 100 can badge order "you get all the guy x, I get all guy y"

im thankful they didn't add eugene to the blind can badge pool or else id be like "yeah so which guy did you want"

I think I spend a lot of money on this stuff then I look on the hellsite and the girlies have ordered 100 blind can badges and are looking for people who have also ordered 100 to trade for their guy with

😞

there's a photo booth setup too
here's the idiots and Fred

😞 I bought a couple blind can badges praying for challia or char and got double machu

Gquuuuuux cafe thing
Of course I ordered khaomangai (because it was that or a BBQ burger)

I didn't get any char or challia bonus stuff 😞

I asked someone if he could buy me something on movic since the site wouldn't take my American credit card and he responded by linking the ibo 10th anniversary event after sales shop

... Look yes ok you're right
