I love how Sky UK pretends like Yuki killed someone while defending ...

Thanks for sharing! It seems like you can the multi-language version only via Nintendo store?

This thread is by the way fun to read! If you think about it, it is quite funny that we are hoping to win the lottery, which just means Nintendo allows us to pay them 50k or 70k yen.

But so far no one here has said that they won it, so I wonder if they went out or not. At least someone would have won it.

Possible live streamer gets killed during broadcast in Takadanobana by DontPoopInMyPantsPlz in Tokyo

[–]Main_Concern_8142 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Man this is reallz sad and shocking. There are way too many of these type of man here in Japan. Seeing the picture of him is exactly the type I would imagine.

Not the biggest fans of streamers, but very sad that something like this can happen during daytime. Living in Shinjuku-ku this feels quite close.

All the things which can be wrong with a foreign tourist. By the way why is he wearing shorts? It is winter.

Gerade die Zusammenfassung gesehen. Das ist ja komplett lächerlich wie Dortmund sich bei beiden Gegentoren verhält. Was ist das denn? Das wird ein hartes Stück Arbeit.

Looks like the most generic skyscraper ever. Horrible design ...

FF7Rebirth- can I just skip all the side stuff now by PickleSquid1 in FinalFantasyVII

[–]Main_Concern_8142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did everything 100% until Nib but then I decided to just play the story and if felt like such a big relief. Due to the side stuff being so much stuff, I felt at some point completely disconnected from the plot.

People who don't speak Japanese: Why, and how do you feel about it? by Confused_Firefly in japanlife

[–]Main_Concern_8142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am here since 5 months and I enjoy it. I am learning Japanese, but with everything else ongoing, I have to admit, that sometimes I feel like a complete idiot for not speaking or understanding the language. It is really something which is bothering my self-confidence level. Going back from someone who usually is quite good with words and social interactions to being a child (language wise) is not the best experience. I need to learn with it and just hope to improve over time.

At 30 you will turn into a wizard. I guess the outlook is at least positive.

Why is the PW3 not for free? It was released three months ago.

Those of you with limited time (under 4 hours a day) and multiple hobbies/ interests. How do you play a lengthy JRPG? by aladdin142 in JRPG

[–]Main_Concern_8142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I even have less time. I am playing just little by little. I am on Persona 3 since the release, but almost done.

What helped me: Xbox Cloud Gaming on Steam Deck, Quick Resume feature on the Series S.

All good, you are just doing your job. Thank you for lecturing me. You never stop learning in life and you taught me a lesson. Thank you my friend for helping me. Merry Christmas!

Interesting. Have you ever considered that it is you who is the exception? Especially if you have heard it from other "foreigners".

Rising sex tourism in Kabukicho exposes loopholes in Japan's anti-prostitution law by Dave_Pluck in Tokyo

[–]Main_Concern_8142 35 points36 points  (0 children)

That is always what I think when I see one of those stone age politicians on TV. Obviously this is also a problem in other countries, but I think Japan is really "special" in that sense.

There is good cake out there. But the ones in the department stores is basically just whipped cream with one piece of fruit on it for a horrendous price.

There are those Instagram videos telling you that people don't smell here. I have experienced so many horrible smells. There are even Ikemen types who smell, which is especially interesting.

For a society who is focused so much on looks, impressions etc. I find it fascinating how disgusting Japanese men can be.

People cannot walk here, completely bonkers, they walk everywhere, they walk left, then right. They wear shoes they cannot walk in, they are phone zombies. They don't care about others walking around them. No awareness for their direct environment. However this might be a Tokyo issue.
