I had at least one quest which, when certain choices were made, would not complete. They never fixed it, but did release a cash-grab level-cap-increasing version later. Left a bad taste in my mouth. (There were other bugs and issues I faced that also never got fixed, but I don’t recall what they were anymore). I mostly did enjoy the game, otherwise, and the size was fine in my opinion.

There’s still a fair bit of sugar in everything. I think trans-fats are also still in use here unless that changed recently.

I don’t know of any restaurant here that does that, but sometimes bars and such throw parties for their regulars, and they’re kinda like that. A few grill, there’s drinks, people talk and hang out, etc.

In Tokyo? Country House? If so, I’ve been, heh.

If it was a chain and had free refills at a drink bar, it might have been Johnathon’s https://www.skylark.co.jp/en/jonathan/menu/index.html

There are a bunch of other one-off places as well.

Columbus, OH had a gay western bar one that turned into the goth club by the time I first went there.

healthy food like many Japanese diets do

Wanna explain what that is? Because obesity is on the rise here and people day-to-day are just eating konbini (convenience store) pre-packaged stuff laden with fried food and instant noodles.

American living in Japan here and I grill weekly on my Weber over charcoal. When I lived in Texas, we grilled whenever we could, basically. In the midwest, my grandparents had a Jenair for when the weather was bad and grilled at least once a week. They were rich, though, so there’s that.

There are a couple of “real” BBQ places, but none that I know of that would have sufficient lawn for lawn chairs. There are plenty of grill-your-own places here, most of which are Korean-style BBQ, but some of which let you grill other things. As I think about it, I don’t think I’ve seen the type of lawn chair (like oven “fabric” style) that I was used to here; it’s all just plastic molded chairs these days.

I was taught it in rural Ohio in the '80s, but it was never used outside of science in any meaningful way. Now live in metric land where things make so much more sense.

I would never order it, but I’ll eat a “Hawaiin” if someone puts it in front of me (well, would have before my gluten issues). Living in Japan taught me that a lot of things work amazingly well on pizza. Roasted corn is one of my favorites. Bulgogi and kimchi is another one that works really nicely.

әәәәәәә, nә?

My grandfather was, but it does seem rather unlikely he’ll be able to do it again now that you mention it.

I don’t know if I’d still call myself a gamer. I still play games, but I just don’t have much time for them. As such, I do have videos on in the background frequently and it is frequently people playing games (though how they’re doing it or what they’re doing in the games is the interesting part and, in some cases, I’d watch the same content if it weren’t in a game but that’s how it happens to be packaged).

I think that’s more hubris leading to death by misadventure. Ikarus got a little too warm.

‘Nobody panics when things go “according to plan.”’ – as a software engineer, I assure you this isn’t completely true. If things are too smooth, something is definitely, probably horribly and sneakily, wrong.

I just never buy those games. Epic released with exclusives but couldn’t process payments in a number of country leaving gamers there SOL. That and some of the higher-ups there just left a really bad taste in my mouth. Anything that also releases as a timed exclusive there doesn’t get a purchase from me until years later when it’s more than half off (and I think I’ve only bought one game like that). A Steam monopoly is bad, but Epic are not the solution to that.

Depending upon ventilation, if they succeed in drying it enough and not having it overflow getting it in, they might not have to worry about getting it out.

Look up brick and motor walls regarding their performance in quakes. Those motor joints (or interfaces when dry stone) are all failure points and that leads to a wall collapsing. It’s why you don’t see modern japanese buildings like that; they don’t meet code. If you want earthquake safety, wood or reinforced concrete are the materials of choice.

Also the walls aren’t paper. Even in modern Japan where I live they’re not and we have some interior walls with paper. I have no idea what you are on about.

I grew up in cold but have spent almost two decades in humid subtropical. If it’s 20ish outside, I usually won’t turn on the heat, but 23 if it gets any colder (though that’s in part because old japanese house loses heat like crazy. 21 is good for me)
