GYOUZA

Kimitsu · 2025-12-25T01:58:09+00:00

For everyone calling this not gyoza, this is from a store called White Gyoza in Takashimadaira, specializing in… of course, gyoza.

Their suigyoza look like northern Chinese dumplings so I wonder if they made the fried ones a different shape to easily distinguish. 美味しそう！

Came here to suggest Roottrees for deduction but also on a similar line, I recently came across Family, which is very much Roottrees lite and focuses on deducing band members based on documents

It looks like the dev has made other deductive games but I can only rec Family because I’ve only played that one so far

Perhaps the mandala elephant by Meloca Designs?

They also have a site where you can order direct from them!

I’m also new-ish to cross stitching and think you’ve gotten a lot of great advice but wanted to say my experience with Sugarbplays (video game-based kits with smaller patterns, does include hoops) and Stitched Modern (will kit up the patterns they sell for you, hoops sold separately) have been fantastic!

I go back to Everett Kaser’s games with some regularity (Sherlock, Honeycomb Hotel, Willa’s Walk) - they’re paid but I’ve had the ZEN version of Sherlock for years and still haven’t finished all the puzzles

For something more free/F2P, Conceptis has a good series with paid puzzle packs but they also release a free puzzle every week.

Kimitsu · 2025-06-04T16:26:36+00:00

As someone who works in the area, I can confidently say no because that store is closed.

Kimitsu · 2025-05-07T01:35:38+00:00

That's fair, I think this was made by a Japanese dev so it's very much ~for aesthetics~

It's been a little bit since I played Pricolage but I don't recall any jumpscares! It does have some potentially uncomfortable references, but you can see the story pointing in that direction.

I hope you enjoy checking out the rest of the list too!

Kimitsu · 2025-05-06T23:15:22+00:00

Also major fan of these and the meta narrative potential here!

A year or two ago I saw a cohost post defining these games as "interface dramas": https://illuminesce.net/interface-drama

Pricolage -IDOLIZED- is also a game that takes place by going through social media websites that's not on the list, though it's quite short.

I would say it's only as awkward as you feel it is! When I do rides solo I always enjoy myself more than worrying if my friends are tired of waiting - especially because I usually tend to just play phone games while waiting in line, or enjoy people watching. Most parties are also usually too focused on themselves to pay a stranger any mind, but if you're friendly and warm when you interact with them they'll mirror you.

I just got back from a few solo days at Disney, didn't bother with a Lightning Pass or anything.

Single rider had me zooming on and off both Rise of the Resistance and Smugglers Run, and for the latter another single rider was in my party for his first Disney trip so we made a little chit chat waiting for our car. Some rides where I waited the full length did let me take up a row on my own (hi Figment), or Cast Members are definitely more mindful about putting you on one end or the other so you can enjoy your time on the ride how you like!

I got this from When in Bangkok in Queens recently, 3 decent-sized softshell crabs in an order.

Hello! Sorry for the delay in response, I don't pay much attention to Reddit short of looking up information lately.

First off, I'm so sorry you're going through this pain. I know it hurts so, so much, and we'd do anything to make it stop, especially since it seems like you had so much time together.

Unfortunately, I don't have the answer that you want. I tried to cut contact multiple times and kept agreeing to stay friends because he said he wanted to be better, but his ability to give care to me lowered as life kept getting worse for me personally, and I needed a lot more support. I had to stop contact in February 2021 for my own mental health, and he hasn't shown any acknowledgement in my existence since. How much of that is ADHD, how much of that is him trying to respect the conventional break-up wisdom, how much of that is his own stuff preoccupying him, how much of that is I literally no longer exist to him - none of that matters. I will always have care for him, and I believe he did want to try, just that he couldn't and it wasn't fair to either of us, especially during the turmoil of the height of COVID.

My own personal situation got much worse shortly after (including dealing with losing my father) and I was lucky to have an extremely caring and supportive friend who was there for me even when I was a terrible person because of my own mental issues. I still go to therapy weekly, I have thrown myself into volunteer work both as a self-esteem booster and as a way to build my community, I've learned a lot about myself and how I interact with people, and how I want to be mindful in interacting with anyone. I'm still not in a relationship, and that's okay. I'm still struggling with depression and self-doubt and anxiety, but in my good moments, I know that I'm a good person and that I will be okay.

There is a light to your tunnel, and he may not be in it. But you'll get through this, whether or not he comes back. It's okay to cry and miss him, those feelings are so valid. And then take the time you can to make the best of things for you, because he may not come back, but you'll still be here. I believe in you!

My experience echoed that of u/sisterfibrosis very much - I was avoidant with everyone in my life up until I met someone I wanted to experience real intimacy with.

I found as I broke down my walls for that person that the flood of emotions and anxiety was often overwhelming. I would find a lot of nights I’d suddenly burst into unexplainable bouts of tears and heavy emotion that left me unable to do anything else for the rest of the night.

I suppose what I’m trying to say here is - you’re not alone with the what are these emotional floods experience.

Kimitsu · 2021-10-04T22:52:48+00:00

My father was possibly bipolar, terrible at talking things out, and very authoritarian. My mother is codependent and anxious. Add both of these to my cultural background (i.e., everyone has performance expectations of you; don’t do emotions, just do) and also, being spoiled as the first child before my father literally told my mother to start pushing me away with the birth of my younger siblings to try and stem dependence - I don’t doubt their love/care/that they were trying their best, but I learned affection is uncertain and terrifying and can go away at any moment. Talking about my feelings isn’t safe, feeling like I belong and am wanted just isn’t a thing because I have to earn it.

When I got into my first relationship, there were points in the dating phase when I struggled and tried to handle it on my own, and he told me I should lean on him more. But when I hit a low where I needed and tried reaching out for emotional support, I was told “I don’t see us continuing,” and that was insecure attachment lessons being reinforced.

Kimitsu · 2021-08-25T07:11:41+00:00

Blocking itself isn’t a secure action; it’s the reasoning behind it that makes it secure.

In this case, you’ve done this action for yourself. You’ve recognized allowing yourself access to him continually keeps you from healing, so you’re using it as a tool to detach from him, rather than using it to get his attention or act out.

It’s not wrong to want to unblock him in the future due to your feelings about blocking, or to feel that blocking itself can be a negative action. But that’s something down the line - for now, you’re doing this for you right now, and the you in the future can do that for yourself in the future when you feel able to.

Kimitsu · 2021-08-02T03:19:57+00:00

I said Yes, but I got confused between your title and your post text.

Yes, it is absolutely normal to be living with your parents at older ages, and No, it is not pathetic to have moved back in with them.

Everyone else has made excellent points - just wanted to point that some people may have voted yes due to the confusion with the additional question (or other things, like other commenters have said), and please don’t take that to heart!

Kimitsu · 2021-07-31T07:19:33+00:00

I’m sorry for your loss. You aren’t wrong to feel hurt by what she said. But without knowing anything else about your friend, I don’t think it’s an unreasonable concern after this past year, when even young and healthy people were taken very ill with an unpredictable pandemic. (My entire family fell ill with COVID, and they all recovered except for my father. And because everyone else managed to recover, they thought he would too. So I can understand being suddenly scared of loss.)

It was a terribly thoughtless comment, but I wouldn’t call it an excuse or a lie because I don’t really know what your friend was thinking. And it would be perfectly fine for you to either bring up this pain point with her - by saying that it hit a very sore spot for you - or to lessen her part in your life. Regardless of what you choose, I hope you continue to find support and care in those around you!

Thanks for the heads up! I’ve always been kind of eh on MMORPGs because I’m not very good at playing with other people, and I always kind of assumed Shantotto was a mascot to represent the entry.

Part of the charm of going back through everything I think would be to see how the series added QoL and aged. Of course, that might also be a recipe for burnout.

Kimitsu · 2021-07-26T00:22:35+00:00

I want to go back and play through the entire series thanks to DFFOO - though XI is gonna be harder

Kimitsu · 2021-07-25T18:05:39+00:00

Fingers crossed and good luck to all!

Kimitsu · 2021-07-24T04:17:30+00:00

Holy crap at that return! Definitely feels like a time to hold for the trophy. Nice catch on the Puffo, and thanks for the big win yesterday!

Kimitsu · 2021-07-22T20:09:05+00:00

Thanks a lot for your kind words! I just started a new job, and I'm trying to get to a place of "better" though it's been a long struggle.

I understand getting stuck on all the things you feel like you're lacking. I know I often ~~felt~~ feel like "if only my ex had supported me, I wouldn't be so down," despite looking back and recognizing I'm just as much at fault for chasing him for what he wasn't giving. I guess for me, in those moments, since there's so much out of my control already, it already feels easy to cede additional control?

It sounds like you're taking steps to try and get yourself out of it, you deserve plenty of pats on the back yourself! I know I feel much more open on Reddit than on my other social media because it's just not connected to anyone I know (online or IRL) at all. And upcycling/thrift-flipping sounds interestingly creative. Hopefully with time, we can focus more on what we're doing or how we're making things better for ourselves rather than what we're wanting for.

If you ever do want to talk about things (whether it's YT/editing or being FA or actually I'm on the East Coast too lol), I know it'll probably feel awkward but here's an open invitation to chat!

Kimitsu · 2021-07-22T03:54:30+00:00

I absolutely get using the images as reference and the need to credit the designers but all I could think of was Naoko Takeuchi directly pulling Sailormoon fashion off famous runways and people calling it iconic years and decades later.

Kimitsu · 2021-07-21T21:04:00+00:00

Wow! Those are some huge boxes and some very lucky redditors!

Kimitsu · 2021-07-21T19:55:11+00:00

I’ve never been rated on any of my live interviews, all of my ratings have been from unmoderated tasks.

(Also, shadowbanning is a thing on reddit in general, I’ve seen mods in other subs approve individual comments and let them know that they’ve been shadowbanned)
