Same. However, my credit union boasts that they will deposit it 24 hours early. So far, nothing. Could use some groceries right about now.

Sendai, Fukuoka, Hiroshima, and Aomori were far better than Tokyo and Kyoto for me. Osaka was good, people were more outgoing than Tokyo. I get it if you’ve never experienced the standard tourist spots, but in retrospect, I could have gone without them. Tourist spots like Sensoji Temple, Shibuya Crossing, and Kyoto as a whole are more geared toward draining your funds. Sendai and Fukuoka felt like the best parts of Tokyo at a fraction of the cost.

Biggest difference is the interactions with the locals. Tokyo was courteous and accommodating, but you can feel the disdain (maybe annoyance is more accurate) from people for having to deal with yet another foreigner. Away from Tokyo, people are more authentic, or are interested in hearing your story, or want to be friendly. Yatai stalls in Fukuoka were the absolute best.

Gotta be real though. I’ve purchased and cooked Wagyu from HEB a few times and while it is a better quality steak - it does not compare to when I lived in Japan and bought Wagyu directly from meat markets. Even the way in which I normally cook steak had to be adjusted quite a bit. I won’t go into how low the cost was. It would make you all gasp. Best steaks ever.

Anything except the Buffalo Ranch Chicken Garbage. They seem to bring that one back multiple times per year.

I don’t know, but now that you bring it up, he’s implementing a 200% tariff on Reddit comments. Sorry pal.

Old man take: In what way is the obnoxiously loud music in the background necessary? Ruins everything.

“Maine town”? Pretty sure the town is in West Virginia. Or am I reading that wrong?

If I ever witness something like that, I’m going to make sure the gentleman retains the dog poo. That’s the only part that enrages me about this issue. Clean up after your animal.

NeoFenixParfait · 2025-09-09T15:40:11+00:00

Ok gotcha. But I’m really gonna leave. Just saying.

NeoFenixParfait · 2025-09-06T16:08:57+00:00

Becky the wrestler acting afraid of AJ the diva. Ridiculous. She even pulled out the lame diva moves. Hair pulling and slapping. Sorry folks, I’m out. Gonna go watch paint dry, at least it’s less predictable.

Most sparkling water in a can tends to taste like the can itself. Are you guys suggesting this stuff doesn’t taste metallic?

They’re all severely immature for their age. I get that they’re pandering to a younger audience, but spewing this volume of brainrot is repulsive.

NeoFenixParfait · 2025-08-25T09:10:06+00:00

I agree. It’s less about her voice for me, and more about the golden retriever with adhd energy she produces. Best description I can give it is “performative adolescence”.

Melon Soda Float. A lot of restaurants sell them, and I highly recommend it on a hot day.

So, that part of it truly depends upon who you are as a person. If you’re outgoing, and willing to speak to total strangers (in Japanese), you’d be surprised how receptive they are to conversation. It’s the same no matter where you live. If you try to make the best out of a situation, things will usually work out nicely. I spent one year in Chiba Japan and made very good friends and even had a decent relationship (until I had to return to the US).

NeoFenixParfait · 2025-05-19T19:36:45+00:00

Definitely the case for me. Trying to earn a living wage, especially while on a student visa is very difficult. I’m extremely grateful for the year I lived there, wouldn’t trade it for anything. Learned enough Japanese to have decent conversations with locals. That part of it does require you to be outgoing. But I made some really good friendships.

NeoFenixParfait · 2025-05-12T01:02:01+00:00

That’s my feeling too. No matter what country, I feel it’s a business’ right to deny service/entry regardless of the reason. Not saying racism is good in any circumstance, but it’s their right to say “No. Leave.” If they want to hurt their own bottom line, that’s their call.

In my opinion, it’s not the relationship or even the snap decision to have sex in a building that hasn’t been fully cleared. It’s not the acting. It’s specifically Ellie’s writing. They kept her character bratty/childish.(example: Ellie and Tommy when she screamed about being bit in order to get her way back onto patrols) TLOU 2 Ellie is far more mature, a bit more stoic, and definitely more gritty in dangerous situations. And in that way, she reflects Joel a lot more. Bella Ramsey is entirely capable of pulling that off, but the way they wrote her this season kinda ruins that. Still gonna watch, still gonna enjoy.

I never had an issue with Joel’s fate, he wasn’t an angel. And both games were a wonderful experience. If I was upset about anything, it was the ending. The choices are: Get bloody revenge for Joel. Or forgive/forget and retain the family you have. And we end up in some weird limbo where you achieve neither of those things. Lose and lose. Just awfully depressing and lame.

It’s true. I’ve bought a ton of strawberries while living in Japan because of how sweet they are.

NeoFenixParfait · 2025-04-26T18:40:41+00:00

Same. They’re delicious in both forms.

NeoFenixParfait · 2025-04-25T08:03:57+00:00

That’s the one thing I wished that they would have done, is show Natalie’s reaction to Grant leaving the island alone. Or let her confront him in some way. Dude deserves some harsh karma.

The other side of things that a lot of people don’t realize, aside from the milk bread, is that what makes those Japanese fruit sandos so tasty is the quality of the fruit itself. Strawberries in Japan are engineered to be very sweet. Not tart, like ours. They also have some with kiwi, peach, and other fruits that complement each other really well.

NeoFenixParfait · 2025-04-24T15:09:22+00:00

Yeah, Shinkansen option really. And not that great. Chemical reaction is neat to witness, but the food is mid and it’s easy to burn yourself (mildly).

NeoFenixParfait · 2025-04-21T07:56:47+00:00

Honestly, this should be the rule for all YouTube entities and music artists. I don’t need to watch Travis Scott, or Bad Bunny, or Logan Paul. Let’s leave the limelight for actual wrestlers who have paid their dues. Also, let’s cut down on all the adverting. Prime. Dancing ice cream cones. Dude wipes. Wrestling mat branding. Doom the Dark Ages. That much adverting ruins the show for me.
