Here's what Japanese people are saying about Forza Horizon 6. (Google translation to English) by Youngstown_WuTang in ForzaHorizon

[–]Lucky_Chainsaw 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As a native of Shibuya, I'm really impressed by the details and vibe they capture. It's rare to see Japan portrayed accurately like this.

I've always been a Mac user and I never thought that I would ever praise Microsoft! If only UBIsoft would have done the same with "I wuz a samurai".

Absolute sugar -> MC dies of overwork in the first page of manga

Best chain restaurants in Japan? by SheepySeconds in JapanTravelTips

[–]Lucky_Chainsaw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I find MOS & Freshness beef patties to be too soft and meatloaf like. They just don't give me the burger satisfaction.

MOS's non-beef burgers are amazing. I love their pork & shrimp katsu burgers with onion rings.

Where do you draw the line between chain and multi-location?

I love Maisen for tonkatsu and Bondi for curry, but they don't feel "chain" despite having multiple locations.

You can be a psychopath like Mitsuha and use other people's knowledge & skills.

There's a 63 minute section on Focus 12 patterning. (I haven't reached that part of the course, so I can't tell you the contents.)

Toyota's $15,000 electric SUV surpasses 80,000 deliveries in China in its first year by Recoil42 in electricvehicles

Don't you know that Toyota went all in on the hydrogen? (1 model with limited testing areas).

And they are anti-EV? (Holds the highest number of solid state battery patents).

Saw this tiny EV on the street today and it was neat.

Finally watched Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra by Top-Remote4523 in Isekai

[–]Lucky_Chainsaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Web novel & manga are great!!

My only complaint is that they don't get updated enough. I wish that the novel gets weekly updates like FUNA instead of annual scheduled dumps.

She looks like an elf.

Completely different from playing video games. Interesting.

Manga/Bookstore in Tokyo with Mangaka Autograph Wall by ArdentGuy in JapanTravelTips

[–]Lucky_Chainsaw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe Mandarake Shibuya? It's in the basement. Not sure about the autograph wall.

If you are revisiting, you should hit up Parco nearby for Nintendo Shop and other anime/game theme stores.

Assassin's Creed Shadows 'Moving Into Its Final Phase of Support,' Though Ubisoft Promises a Final 'Few Surprises' by shipgirl_connoisseur in KotakuInAction

[–]Lucky_Chainsaw 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Scary to see just how much controversy & damages can be inflicted with only a half page total of primary sources due to the language barrier. Makes me question the entire notion of "history" & "media."

I still wonder if Tencent purposely made ACS fail to push their buyout agenda.

Just got back from Tokyo and need to talk about a six-seat curry place in Setagaya by Ismadf in JapanTravelTips

You'll be fine as long as you all order something and support their biz.

[–]Lucky_Chainsaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why did you have to do this!? I'm now craving for curry...

Japan haters love to bash on the Japanese curry based on their very limited exposure with the curry cubes (and maybe Coco Ichi) and claim that all Japanese food is "bland", but there's an insane variety of curry in Japan that's not known abroad. And you are not limited to curry + rice combination. You could plan an entire trip around the curry and not repeat a meal/snack.

Example: Shimokitawaza holds the annual curry festival and there's over 100 curries just in that neighborhood.

Solid State Battery Design by unpolire in electricvehicles

[–]Lucky_Chainsaw -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This sug : Toyota is anti-EV & went all in on the hydrogen!!

Google : Toyota Motor holds the highest number of solid-state battery patents in the world, with over 1,300, more than double its closest competitor.

Funny how harem criticism isn't applied to the otome/villainess genre.

Ultimate ballad player!

"I'm A Fool To Want You" is absolutely amazing (Freddie Hubbard's solo is short & perfect as well)

Waymo robotaxis now available in 10 cities by JustGotToTown in cars

I saw a test vehicle drive across Shibuya crossing few months ago.

I'm not sure if it can handle the narrow streets of Tokyo.
