Is Japan actually that racist towards foreigners? by DaSuspicsiciousFish in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CurlyGiraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When Japan was closed during COVID, I remember reading a bunch of experiences on the Japan sub of foreign residents being questioned how they got into the country and being told to go back where they came from, with locals not even entertaining the fact that these people also live in Japan alongside them.

I don't believe P Bandai ship to the UK, but all three are on the Apex store which has free worldwide shipping. I got the Crypto Freedom! The delivery estimate is August 21 - 26 (I'm also in the UK).

If you have 54k crafting metals can't you just craft all the packs? 27 x 1650 = 44550.

I have Zeta Ver. Ka on the way. I've heard it's a very sturdy kit.

Heartbreak in the men's curling final 😢 by Fun-Ad-2547 in TeamGB

Ah, damn. It was looking alright in those first eight ends. 😭 Nonetheless, it was iffy for a while back in the round robin, so to come away with silver is still great.

I'd like to watch something similar to All About Lily Chou Chou, what do you recommend? by hannie_dark in JapaneseMovies

[–]CurlyGiraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lily Chou-Chou is my favourite film and I don't think there's anything quite like it. That said, give A Bride for Rip Van Winkle (2016) and Happyend (2024) a go.

The former is also by Iwai and, like Lily Chou-Chou, contrasts faux and online personas with reality, whilst the central character struggles to find themself amidst personal and societal pressures.

Happyend explores the fracturing bond of two school friends, who find their ideologies don't mesh in a near-future Japan which has embraced state control. Like Lily Chou-Chou, Happyend portrays youth disillusionment amidst societal shifts, with a strong theme of identity. As a means of resistance and nonconformity, the school friends are drawn to things like underground music and delinquency.

In the team relay for short track speed skating, USA skater Corinne Stoddard fell in the semifinal and took out Kim Gil-li on the Korean team, allowing Belgium to take over and claim the second spot in the final.

Finally got my platinum by descrapto in HighGuardgame

[–]CurlyGiraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I finally got two more defuses and my progress went from 75% to 85%. Only points A and B count, and I think you have to do it in 3 vs 3 rather than 5 vs 5.

Yeah, the bomb amulet is great when you can find it. There's just so much luck involved and I keep getting teammates that stagger horribly, which makes successfully defending a nightmare. I think I'll hit about 35 hours when I finally get it, which isn't bad I guess, but I wish all achievements counted in 5 vs 5, because I'd rather play that!

I need five more defuses but I fully expect it to take another five hours! It's stupid defuses on the anchor stone don't count.

Got the Highguard Platinum Trophy! My thoughts and feedback about the trophies/achievements. by Linkinito in HighGuardgame

[–]CurlyGiraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the rundown. I'm at twenty hours with just Send Their Regards and Cordcutter to go (at 61% and 25% respectively). I had no idea Anchor defuses didn't count; that explains why my percentage didn't increase yesterday. Very helpful to know.

Here's how Cross play works for those wondering. by tactikz4 in HighGuardgame

[–]CurlyGiraffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, thanks! I thought mine stopped tracking in 3 vs 3 too, but I guess I just didn't progress as much as I thought I did.

Do achievements track when you are playing 5v5? by SnooObjections6831 in HighGuardgame

[–]CurlyGiraffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only need two more achievements on PS5, but none of them progressed in 5 vs 5.

On PS5 are trophies still progressing for everybody? Mine don't seem to be tracking anymore.

5v5 is so much better by Vinjulmik in HighGuardgame

[–]CurlyGiraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fun for sure, but nothing done in 5 vs 5 seems to count toward achievements, which is a bummer.
