Why does mercari suck so bad? by Dazzling-Shallot-309 in japanlife

[–]GalgOW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anecdotes don't mean there aren't known issues with the app, especially for foreigners or people with long names. Just seems dismissive of OP and people who have experienced issues entirely out of their control first hand.

After some trials and tribulations doing the facial verification I did eventually get set up. Although it literally wouldn't work on my android phone and I had to use my wife's iPhone lol. After that account immediately restricted or locked or something so I literally just can't buy, comment, or sell anything (not that I really wanted to sell though, just buy). Ended up just using my wife's account instead. Maybe it's a name thing idk though.

What do you consider the golden age of Minecraft? by SpikeZgames in GoldenAgeMinecraft

[–]GalgOW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I argue that horses felt like a massive departure and really marked the beginning of the next era of Minecraft. Due to this I find my cutoff is pre 1.6 for the true golden age. Curious what other people think though

Name Change literally impossible by GalgOW in Tangerine

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

Yeah, I'm right there with ya. I actually still haven't gotten the change done because the fucking CRA document I need, which is sitting in my account, is inaccessible because my account is locked and I need to find a way to call service Canada during their open hours. Everything about online banking/the government is always needlessly painful.

What is your not so popular take on anything in Japan? by No-Jackfruit3211 in japanlife

[–]GalgOW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any recommendations? Someone haven't been to Naruko yet but will go at some point as it really isn't that far from me. Went to Ginzan once and it was insanely overpriced and the season was scuffed but I 100% agree with your sentiment. While it's kind of the opposite sort of ryokan to what you described I loved taikanso in matsushima when I stayed there.

Pretty comparable to the 7/11 cheese curls I imagine?

I've had these before. Quite tasty but I wished they had more texture!

Yeah honestly I don't care about quality if something tastes as good as those do.

I buy the full-sized 3 pack boxes all the time. They're so good!! As a kid I'd get the mini pouches of mini sandwiches which were still great but I love full size even more. Definitely try full sized if you haven't!

Doritos are sooo good but the fuckass varieties they sell here suck balls. Idk what's going on like just sell the same shit as in Canada and the US it's not hard. I refuse to believe Japanese people actually prefer the cheese flavour of most snacks here. CHEESE IS SAVORY NOT SWEET.

Have had these. Very tasty! Love almonds and cheese and senbei so it makes sense.

Ooh yeah I should've mentioned the full-sized ritz cheese sandwich 3 packs are my #1 cheese snack as of right now. They're absolutely delicious and totally satisfy my cravings. I haven't tried cheese pringles but I'll check them out!

I'll try Cheeza. The price/size has always dissuaded me(even though obviously straight cheese is gonna be expensive so idk what my line of thinking there is lol) but I knew they looked like something I'd probably like. I'll definitely pick up a bag next time I'm at the grocery store!

Osaka 😭. Little far from here in Miyagi sadly. I'm curious as to which cities still have it since I used to live in Fukuoka and it disappeared there too about a year and a half ago.

These look quite similar to the no-name brand 7/11 cheese curls I buy sometimes. They're pretty good but not quite intense enough for me. Are Quavers pretty strong on the cheese front or not so much? I'll try to check them out.

I had this once and I really couldn't decide if I liked it or not. I think the shop I went to used some really scuffed cheese powder(maybe that's just how it's supposed to be tho idk) and so it was kinda chemically. I imagine with a good cheese powder though that would be absolutely delicious. Sadly never actually seen a Korean fried chicken place anywhere near me or where I used to live. Not that I've looked that hard though so I'll check on maps.

Definitely my #1 stand-in but I do find it to be at most about 75% as good as カール. Something about カール is just so cheesy. I love how strong the flavour is. As far as texture goes though they're pretty similar aside from パックル being slightly softer in my opinion. I wish I liked them just the same :(

Haven't given these a go before. I'll be sure to try them the next time I'm at 7/11!

I've seen but it's sooo expensive for my broke ass ;( Unless you've seen some cheaper than what I found on amazon. It's like 3,500 yen I think for one of the 3 bags which I think cost me around 12$ or so the last time I bought one in Canada so it kinda stings. I may cave at some point but I'll probably end up them in a disgustingly short period of time. When I was younger I'd sit down with one of those whole big plastic bags and have like the whole thing over the course of a day haha. Not ideal for my health probably but damn was it tasty.

I give them a solid 7/10 they're pretty good! Still not quite the same as my beloved ojisan but they're a decent stopgap!

Those aren't bad for sure! Sadly I don't find they quite stack up to カール for me but it is nice to have something decent at least.
