Well done and congratulations! Hope to be able to play soon!
I’ve been Guillotine’d by Metronome once. The immense luck it would take to select that move, and hit, made me turn off the game for a week.
“More than 2 million players”
“We have not been able to build a sustainable player base”
Ah, right. They needed to have more players than all the other live-service games within a month or shareholders get butthurt.
Metrics so inflated that no one remembers how impressive 2 million actually feels.
It’s genius. Kudos to whoever thought this one up.

I also ironically live in an area named after the cedar trees that surround it, so I’ve only myself to blame, but this is excessive.
That pollen is goddamn gnarly today. It’s like walking through a carpenter’s workshop, you can taste the lumber and sawdust in the air. Blech.
how it feels watching the pokémon presents as a whole ass 30 year old man
30 years. This shaped my childhood and put me on a path to a future in Japan. I wouldn’t be where or who I am if not for Pokemon.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…
Was curious about the font used on JR signage and am now in a rabbit hole about train station signology and Akase Tatsuzo’s work.

Nearly met God today when I reached into the bath to take out the toys my boy left behind, forgetting the lotion I had just applied seconds before. Put my hand on the side of the tub and it just disappeared from under me.
Had a fun morning in the snow with the kids. It doesn’t snow often here in Kanto but when it does, it’s worth heading out.
It was also super ｃｒｕｎｃｈｙ snow today.
I appreciate this. What I would give to be in Kyoto for snowfall.

Honestly? Just scrap the damn test at this point. A near half-year turnaround to prove proficiency in a country notorious for 1-year visas just does not work.
My new commute puts me on a JR line, and the platform melodies really bring me back to the awe and wonder I first felt coming to Japan.
Ah. I see you also don’t plan to sleep for a week.
Someone didn’t enjoy Davos, eh?
Bullet trains are honestly such a neat piece of technology.
The difference between the Tomodachi Life direct in Japan vs America is a very interesting master class in culturalization. I initially popped in to see how Nintendo of America approached the translation of “ダイレク島” to find a nearly different game being showcased for English speakers.
J-Gov: “We’re going to give you a mercilessly short window to submit these documents and failure to do so will result in penalties.
Also all of our hyperlinks will 404, and the service line is a dead tone.”

We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "
