I mean, Packesel is just called a packmule in english.

I tried Ring Fit Adventure. I didn’t hate it, but three days after starting, getting out of bed, I threw out my back for the first time in my life.

If you’re eating that much sushi, do take care which fish you’re eating. Mercury poisoning is serious.

Is that first picture from the Edo History museum? I happened to wander over there on a solo day during a trip to Japan, and it ended up being one of the biggest highlights of my trip! Tons of huge dioramas, life-sized buildings and objects from the history of Tokyo.

Well, I’m pretty annoyed by this. Not that I think I deserve a guaranteed spot in the preorder, but I’ve been following the Analogue Pocket for over a year and signed up to be notified about it. I never heard anything from them about an upcoming preorder.

I mean, sure, but he’s keeping it as a down-payment on a home. He’s going to use the money within the next few years. It’d be better to keep it in a HYSA. The penalties for withdrawing early from a 401k/IRA would likely completely eclipse anything earned.

Wakakozake was fun, but it wasn’t as satisfying to me as the short form anime. Walk home -> Restaurant -> Delicious Food -> Pshooooo. I guess because they felt they needed to pad it out to the length of a full show. It’s harder to sell a producer on a 3-5 minute per episode drama than animation.

You can still get a pretty solid interest rate on online banks’ High Yield Savings Account, though some of the better ones require you to jump through hoops.

Wait, what’s the point of putting that money in a 401k or IRA? They’re tax-advantaged, but unless you’re not going to buy the house until your 60s, you lose that benefit when you take the money out early.

You can’t tell me what to do, old man.

You can’t just expect me to change browsers every 10 years. Give me some time to get ready.

Pretty much none until the boss, then there’s a very obvious jumpscare.

It does end with a pretty well-telegraphed jumpscare, so go ahead and tap out before the boss if that’s not your bag. The rest is just goofy warioware fun.

The best? There’s only one good shape: Classic. Anything bigger and you get too much peanut butter in some bites. And the smaller ones don’t use the same peanut butter. It’s all weirdly chalky.

Super excited to visit this when Japan opens up to American tourists again.

I get that, though I’m a bit cautious of this one. The story really wasn’t The World Ends With You’s strong point. It was serviceable, but the game really stood on the strength of it’s aesthetic choices and customizable battle system. Unless they pour a lot of money into making it look good, we may be looking at a…

My experience with NordVPN has been pretty bad. I switched from Private Internet Access due to the lower cost and regretted it pretty quick. Nord isn’t usually slow (though it sometimes is), but you’re very often not connected to the country Nord claims to be connecting you to. Often times I’ll connect in the US and…

I’m betting that mask is an entire black tank top that has been cut vertically on one side, and maybe stitched up a bit.

When I travel, my go-to trick has been to travel light and pick up a larger suitcase from a thrift store partway through the trip. It’s worked out so far, though it’s good to know where you can get a cheapo option if there’s nothing decent around.
