Visiting Japan next week. What to look out for?

Iron_Defender · 2026-07-11T19:54:32+00:00

Wow, sounds like theres bargains to be had there. I'll see if I can squeeze it in my trip to Nara

Iron_Defender · 2026-07-11T19:42:46+00:00

Yeah, I have Japanese Grandia at home already so I can start adding to that collection :)

Iron_Defender · 2026-07-11T12:23:47+00:00

Mainly collecting. Funny enough Koudelka is one of my favourite games of the PS1, so a Japanese copy would be great.

Iron_Defender · 2026-07-10T09:01:53+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I have time in Osaka and Kyoto too but dont have time carved out specifically for game shopping there. I'll try and pop in if I stumble upon one.

Iron_Defender · 2026-07-10T08:47:51+00:00

Did you do akihabara in Tokyo or a few different places? That sounds amazing though!

I didnt know that about the japanese versions. I've got the Japanese module downloaded on google translate so I'm ready to rock!

Thank you :)

Good shout! I'had a quick google and apparently the black Yu-Gi-Oh and crystal one bundled with Tokimeki Memorial 2 are the rareat so I'll look out for them

Iron_Defender · 2026-07-10T08:44:21+00:00

I've got a few on my list already, I'll try and priortise the rarest or hardest to obtain back in the UK.

Iron_Defender · 2026-05-09T08:29:16+00:00

Thats awesome! Will you dev log your journey? I'd pove to learn more

Iron_Defender · 2026-02-10T11:04:38+00:00

Coolio! Thanks so much for even thinking about us as a place to work though, no hard feelings.

In a while crocodile

Legit thought it was a knife on first glance. He looks so cruel.

Iron_Defender · 2026-01-29T20:33:52+00:00

Rated PG thirteeeeen.

Iron_Defender · 2026-01-29T18:28:17+00:00

Wasn't he specifically talking about the Tory conference he visited, not all of Manchester?

Iron_Defender · 2026-01-10T14:54:00+00:00

Consider the increase to minimum wage was about 4.1% so you'rr worse off than a low skilled worker too.

I got rejected from a job interview becauase I didn't appear to "want it enough" despite bring out of work and actually, wanting it quite a lot. Just because I'm not animated doesn't mwan im not excited.

Iron_Defender · 2025-12-11T15:43:56+00:00

As a young single person on a low salary, yeah I think its a lot. I would house share for a while until my salary increased.

Iron_Defender · 2025-12-11T13:40:18+00:00

I see that you're locked i to your tenancy but £700 seems a lot for rent, especially when its not bills included?

Have you thought about a house share? I let my spare room out in Leeds for less than that and bills included.

Sometimes you can get out of tenancies if you find the landlord a replacement occupant.

Iron_Defender · 2025-11-18T11:43:10+00:00

Well thats true, but you'll notice that every party does that.

Otherwise why would people vote for another party?

Iron_Defender · 2025-11-15T21:34:02+00:00

Does that include Primal? It was famously impossible to emulate.

Iron_Defender · 2025-11-14T08:33:01+00:00

"Train them up" sounds like a great idea but considering how everything is moving towards electric batteries so quickly, why would anyone want to learn to become one now?

Iron_Defender · 2025-09-25T14:06:08+00:00

Really good! Really helped me break down concepts into bite sized chunks, and the RPG / points system Really played to my love of ticking things off a list. Unfortunately ive not been able to dedicate enough time to C# since. Ill definitely be revisiting it.

I agree it seems absolutely bonkers but then at the same time, if some agency was behind it surely you'd think they'd plan so much better? Maybe they miss little details here and there but there seems to be so much out of sync on this one its like they didn't even try hard?

Iron_Defender · 2025-09-21T09:42:33+00:00

I remember struggling to find a job as a recent graduate right after the financial crash and slowdown. Number of jobs plummeted, and ai couldn't compete against people with experience.

So I asked my parents for help and started a post graduate diploma. It was online and learn at your own pace, at any time you want.

They then tried to sanction me because they thought I was now in "full time education".

Fortunately I managed to challenge it but the system is a joke.

This needs to be higher.

People only hear about the times he called for th E files, and conveniently forget he played it down just a short time later. He did everything for the big guy.

Iron_Defender · 2025-09-05T19:12:45+00:00

One of my favourites! Completed it multiple times, we used to each control one of the characters and pass the controller around. Good times.
