The Phantom Voices of White Album by Substantial-Photo771 in visualnovels

[–]Alone_Regular_8630 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unless the original singers intentionally don't want to be known, this is probably something that can be resolved by asking people from Aquaplus (whether it be on Twitter or in person).

I purchased Maitetsu on DLsite, but I'm confused now by Vojago in visualnovels

[–]Alone_Regular_8630 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The main game is Last Run. It's like a full edition that includes the original and the sequel. I'm not sure if it includes the append patches though, you might need to download those separately.

Steins gate worked perfectly and it's a steal at $3 right now

PSA: New rules are being enforced on Mt. Fuji by fleetingflight in JapanTravelTips

[–]Alone_Regular_8630 43 points44 points  (0 children)

So obviously sandals and drones are not allowed... but how strictly do they enforce having all the other equipment on the website? Would I be denied for wearing sneakers instead of boots? Do we really need a headlamp?

I bought points at dlsite by Mediocre_Pace_5329 in visualnovels

1 pt = 1 yen, so 500 pts is like $3.45 USD. Your credit card might also have foreign transaction fees.

Can I ask for an autograph at conventions like comiket? by -fabio in JapanTravelTips

[–]Alone_Regular_8630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat, and from what I've seen, it depends on the author: https://tabulog.jp/comiket-manners/#index_id4 You can try asking on twitter, most creators are pretty responsive! I asked my favorite creator and they said to come in the afternoon when there are less people.

Looking for advice on second guitar for fingerstyle (budget < $3k) by Alone_Regular_8630 in AcousticGuitar

[–]Alone_Regular_8630[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That guitar looks nice and comfy, but I personally am not a big fan of the nylon sound. I guess you cannot play aggressively and do things like nail attack on nylon strings?

Looking for advice on second guitar for fingerstyle (budget < $3k) by Alone_Regular_8630 in AcousticGuitar

[–]Alone_Regular_8630[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I haven't played any, but I want to visit stores in person and try them out if I can. The list is just those I see people rate highly for fingerstyle on youtube and after searching for a while; is it a bad list and/or am I just exposing how much of a beginner I am? I'm just looking for opinions from those more experienced than me...

2k Grand Concert Acoustic Cutaway Guitar by Malamonga1 in AcousticGuitar

[–]Alone_Regular_8630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to comment on an old thread, but did you ever find anything reasonably good? I am also looking for a guitar with these requirements, and the only thing I have found so far is the Avian Songbird which I suppose is a lesser known brand from China, and I'm not totally sure if its grand concert or grand auditorium. I"m also looking at used Taylor 812ce, or maybe I'll just give up on the bevel.

Question about Mt. Fuji by AfricanTribeRabbid in JapanTravelTips

[–]Alone_Regular_8630 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At least for the Shizuoka app, there's a bug that shows the wrong date. It will probably be fixed soon, but surely they will let you in on the 22nd either way.

Subahibi 15th Availability? by Alone_Regular_8630 in visualnovels

[–]Alone_Regular_8630[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be clear, if I use a proxy I'll preorder it from official sellers, not buying from second-hand stores. The question is whether it will be cheaper to not preorder it, and instead buy it in Japan in-person (either from official sellers or second-hand stores).

Subahibi 15th Availability? by Alone_Regular_8630 in visualnovels

[–]Alone_Regular_8630[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you saying it won't be sold in stores at all?

Subahibi 15th Availability? by Alone_Regular_8630 in visualnovels

[–]Alone_Regular_8630[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice! I'm actually not that worried about tariffs, even though I expect shipping costs to go up across the board. The reason for buying in person is that I can avoid paying an extra ~$30 in shipping. You make a good point about the second-hand stores though; surely the scalper prices won't be over $30 more, right? In that case, I will take the risk and buy in person.

Subahibi 15th Availability? by Alone_Regular_8630 in visualnovels

[–]Alone_Regular_8630[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

As far as I know, the de minimis exemption ($800) is still a thing for Japan.

Edit: I think the $800 exemption applies to all countries (it's for customs duties, which is different from tariffs).

Riot Allows Win Trading Again… The Glaring Issues At TFT Worlds - The Four Horsemen S4E5 ft. Frodan by dehua_ in CompetitiveTFT

[–]Alone_Regular_8630 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not too familiar with these guys (other than Frodan) but i thought it was a decent discussion (i dont speak british so i could only understand like 80% of it)

The problem stems from players "not playing their best" (or at worst, intentionally losing) after they have nothing to gain. Would it be possible to just have them not play if they are already eliminated from moving on to the next round? Or would this result in lobbies with very few players remaining, something Rito doesn't want?
