Heh, I honestly can’t remember the last ad for a game I saw. Maybe on japanese TV since I don’t get ads on YouTube where I spend most of my watching time. I’ll keep an eye out for it, though; that does make sense.

/ As I type this, I realize I’ve seen several war thunder sponsored segments in videos, but I just ignore or mute.

Does that mean something like Eve Online or an MMO actually done with spreadsheets somehow?

I enjoy watching some people play games. I cannot watch them play RPGs or similar with choices nor puzzles. Even if their puzzle solution is right in the end and mine is not, I still just get frustrated by the experience.

The app gets messed up on my Japanese LG TV every now and again (and I seem to have lost the ability to thumbs-up videos again), but it’s never been unusable. The app on my android phone looks fine at the moment.

I might be open to a new MMO at some point. I’m 100% out if it requires grouping for the main storyline, is super grindy, or I have to do corpse runs. I have two jobs and no time for that. I enjoy doing some group stuff, but I don’t want to pay for a game where I get nowhere because of my schedule.

I’d also be out if it had some parry system (quicktime events, basically) or souls-like combat in general as it’s just not my bag; I’m there for the quests and story more than anything else.

Japan set the allowed alcohol limit to basically zero sometime in the '90s so drinking anything and driving here can see you lose your license and spend time in Jail… as it should be IMO.

Bars here in Japan are often open until first train in the big cities (~5am) with some going later. I don’t necessarily see anything wrong with that in itself (especially for late shift folks who want to enjoy the same after-work experiences as day shift folks).

That said, fuck this guy for many other reasons.

Prepositions still causing havok 70ish years later (and I’m struggling in the opposite direction learning Norwegian now)

Except when looking for a new job and now so are 8k other people :/

The Evil Dead Guy.

One Guy of Darkness.

It only bothered me because I saw that it was a school assignment and I thought it would be to a higher standard. In casual speech, I don’t really care unless the meaning is unclear.

I don’t knowingly use AI at all in my person life and projects (I say ‘knowingly’ since many products have it shoved inside now, but I disable all I see). At work, we have AI code reviews which, as a concept, I think is fine and useful.

This is why I don’t use it for coding at all.

Shouldn’t it be ‘after having been together’?

What is ‘at the same time’ referring to in that sentence? They wanted to break up at the same time (as in both had the idea)? They wanted to break up at the same time on the clock to continue the theme of things being same-y?

The boy is due north of what? The place? The girl? Also, the girl should be wondering about her decision, I think.

(I don’t even speak English every day anymore, so I could be wrong).

I used to walk by that building quite a bit. Place creeps me out (not for any supernatural reasons).

I added one other SDD to dual-boot linux, but it’s otherwise the same as when I built it in May 2020.

I was looking at upgrading the video card before all the prices went to shit. I’d need to get a new mobo to really make it worth the effort. I’m not sure adding more memory would really do a lot.

My previous computer was a laptop since I knew I’d be moving across the world and I got it in late 2014 or early 2015. It technically still works, though it just sits in a closet.

I’m thinking I just want to buy a higher-end laptop next time and just use this machine as a server. If I can do some gaming and video editing on it, that’s really all I need that’s intensive. I’m also debating whether or not to live in Japan full time or see if I can get work authorization somewhere in the Schengen area and just live in Japan part time. Bit of a dream with jobs the way they are now, though.

Wages have also mostly not kept up with inflation that went nuts starting around Covid times. Some companies have been doing raises, but a lot haven’t been able to keep up with inflation.

I’ll open a bottle of something nice when this happens, along with doing a happy dance, but I think that cork is staying put for now.

Who steals a porch? Seriously, the nerve!

I work in Japan and get paid in yen so that seems unlikely. Indeed. I am basically at the median us salary with the exchange rate. I’ve bought two phones in the last 11 years (and won’t replace my pixel 6 until it dies). I also work two jobs.
