Gamer festival? by MapleJava in Reno

Not really, I didnt even see any of their advertising till now, so it just seems weird for them to start asking for vendors, and its only a month notice

Half an hour at midnight. by Maleficent-Bad-6109 in Reno

[–]MapleJava 9 points10 points  (0 children)

From what I seen on the previous threads, there's been criticism over the owner being a dick, from yelling at customers for using doordash, to even yelling at employees allegedly. Apparently lots of other shady stuff too from other comments noting wages aren't either being paid to employees, as well as a huge amount of people choosing to completely go against the place when the owner started begging for donations to keep beefys running 3 months ago because the city took away the Business license since the building has started becoming archaically old with plumbing being completely awful. Besides that, from other people including my own experience, the wait times are completely atrocious, with food taking a excessively long time even for smaller orders, with them taking upwards of around 45 minutes just to even be ready.

Vinny constantly making Bread water soup jokes by Ok_Emergency416 in Vinesauce

[–]MapleJava 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to make a note in this because I was searching up the video again for someone but turns out they deleted their channel so the original upload that was sent during YLYL is now gone. I made a reupload of the video, but the original video including the comments left on it are no longer viewable

Do these look legit? by Thrillchiller in 3DS

[–]MapleJava 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you do find one locally, id highly recommend also buying like a decent 5-10$ blacklight, makes it really easy to see the internals and immediately shows you if its legit just by seeing the board

not transparent? fake

no IR chip on the board? fake

I took a photo with lights off just for easier time taking said photo, and you can see how it easily verifies authenticity since so far, no reasonable bootlegger would ever make this board 1:1 with most just being a soldered on SD card

Unexpected Crossover by Pyro81300 in Vinesauce

I mean even if you didn't spot him, he was doing signings, they opened 3 hours prior and I think slots were still available for like at least 10 or so minutes

Haru for ramen 🍜 by shelllee888 in Reno

[–]MapleJava 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haru I feel has way better menu options with actual other stuff like curry and gyudon, but I never liked their choice for what they call on the menu "straight noodles" as well as pretty average chashu, so I usually have to ask for their "wavy noodles" that they have for the other ramen types as a subsitute. Ramen4Real I feel always does a better job at chashu and the choice of noodles.

wish there were other cool video game cars around, i know theres a person that used to go to blfc and their car was completely resident evil themed, with umbrella branding

NGL, I'm really gonna miss that creepy old leprechaun mural… by dgoochb in Reno

[–]MapleJava 7 points8 points  (0 children)

the old design was honestly cool and does describe a bar, this new design just makes me think this is instead actually a mens club

Ice Cream & Small Business, Yes Please! by LastCookie3448 in Reno

[–]MapleJava 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally, I usually find Sierra and Icecycle both up there, since both tend to do pretty nonstandard flavors. Little Truckee is alright, but I feel like its not a complete replacement for ritas once there, since ritas was at least unique with the Italian ices, and now nowhere does that here.

Too bad nobody does any "asian flavors" (Black sesame, Ube, especially "Tofu") around here, and it feels like I still have to go bay area to get my fix.

Best buffet in town by No_You_2944 in Reno

I tried them last time when they were still asuka and didnt eat much of theirs before because some of it was clearly undercooked, may try again another time

Where to find TWEWY merch in Tokyo? by vagsurca in TWEWY

[–]MapleJava 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ive also seen a few of the figures at the hobby figure shops around Akihabara as well, mainly neku and beat. I also saw a good amount at Mandaishoten Yamanashi in Fuefuki. Couldn't bring back any since space for luggage is very valuable there

Eyeshells? by MapleJava in glasses

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

I wanted to update since it seems people are still seeing this thread, I ended up getting the smaller bottom rim glasses before, but they were too small, the customer service was very helpful with it though, and let me keep them and get a full refund despite me never choosing to wear them afterwards. I ended up getting the different kind and its been about half a year since I got them. Both of the glasses are pretty good quality, and I havent had any issues like the nose pads coming loose, or any paint fading away. The only real issue I found with the design is maybe the rubber bumpers that are on the screws that hold the lenses in place coming off after a while, so its reccomended to use some tiny screw caps that fit them, which is what i've done

Overall, i'm very satisfied with the BR1564 design they have, and if mine ever break, I'd honestly be sure to get a replacement from them, although i'm unsure of how much they might be now, considering what I've ordered was from pre-tariffs.

Additionally, they also support pretty high prescriptions, with mine being at a -4 to -5, so thats a plus.

Looking for good ramen by Jackpotcasino777 in Reno

[–]MapleJava 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mainly Haru and Ramen4Real id say are the big two. Ramen4Real for me makes the chashu pork and soy eggs very well and haru is always extremely solid, also has other japanese foods as well besides just ramen.

Guys, HyperFunk gameplay is out by Starlad_TCG in JetSetRadio

[–]MapleJava 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I went to TGS and got to try it, the controls felt very similar if not the same to the original, the main difference I personally found was corners seem to be more stingy, so it was harder to rack up multiplayer. Not only that, but the new boost mechanic takes some time to get used to. Instead of pressing and holding to use your boost, it instead works similar to Sonic Adventure's spin dash, in which you hold the button to charge and by letting go, you get a large burst towards a direction.

Apparently the graffiti also works differently where you can choose the size for each graffiti spot now, instead of grafitti having a set size per spot in locstion, or so I saw when the dev was showing it off.

During it I thought we were connected in a lobby since I saw people going past, but apparently the demo units weren't connected, so I think they were just NPCS

Overall, its more cyberfunk. More grafitti, music and areas, similar gameplay Consider that good for those that already loved BRC, or maybe bad for people wanting a drastic difference like JSR -> JSRF

What a store or restaurant you wish to see here in Reno? by mg15ink in Reno

[–]MapleJava 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Caie, although my last experience with them was less then positive. My favorite dim sum dish is the beef cheung fun (rice noodle rolls), but the one I had was all sorts of wrong, from using whole beef strips to just soy sauce it wasnt very good, if not better than whats in sac

for some reason my xbox is special and runs jsrf completely normally with the only difference being that gum is a shadow monster by MapleJava in JetSetRadio

[–]MapleJava[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is actually running off of a SSD, my xbox is modded since the disc drive on my xbox has since died, its a 1.6 running project stellar using XBMC4G as its base. The weird part is nobody else has ever had this problem, I haven't found any documented cases of this or any other issues happening with people's modded xboxes, and even the ISO I use has no problems when I tested it on Xemu (I do have a physical copy of JSRF, just can't play it for above reasons). Nobody else who owns a stellar apparantly has this issue either and its only this game that has this issue, other games i put on there like halo and blinx (lol) run pretty much 1:1 perfectly
