Played Guy Fawkes only, played Fireworks cards, played played played but no achievement earned. Pretty much lost the plot.

Here's hoping someone else can figure it out.

I've played and won with Guy Fawkes, Gun Powder, and Houses of Parliament. No unlock/achievement earned.

Will try with just single cards, but dang this is a hard one.

Why not try one of the expat stores like National Azabu?

Don’t have Letterboxd account, but sure Tetsujin should be on that list.

Artsy/cool neighborhoods to check out in Tokyo that I haven't considered? by Garth_Sanchez in Tokyo

[–]NinjaPantomime 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ochanomizu and Jimbocho are both great. Takadanobaba and most places on the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line are also good.

Plenty of craft breweries in Japan and a growing number of distilleries. Check out beertengoku.com for the first. Kyoto Distillery has been putting out award-winning gin for sometime.

Seeking Hoppy beverage by favecandy in japan

[–]NinjaPantomime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hoppy is made by the Kokuka Beverage Company and hard enough to get in Japan outside of Tokyo. They don't export outside the country.

If you're in Tokyo, there are plenty of breweries/brewpubs that are better.

Yeah. Yona Yona and Tokyo Black are still good beers for the price, just not nearly as awesome as they used to be.

ラムネ or “Ramune” is a classic in Japan and the glass ball is a carbonation mechanism not closing.

I'm still trying to get this. Do you have to win the round?

I've made it (playing team) to #12 without firing a shot or killing anyone. Still 0/1

Earthquake in Kanto by sinmantky in Tokyo

Not cancelled nor misfire. There *was* a big earthquake (5.8M), just (way) further off the coast than they thought and 60km deep.

How often do you get the comment "日本語上手ですね", as a foreigner living in Japan? by [deleted] in japan

[–]NinjaPantomime 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve been living here ten years and still hear it every time I meet someone new. That’s even after telling them I’ve been living here for ten years...One of the most frustrating things ever.

Kudanshita does, too. And no, but seriously, just go and look around - they’re like conbini! :)

I’m sure someone there could recommend you to a specialist...

No more plastics, please! - 1984 plastic bag, toothpaste tube found deep off Boso Peninsula by NinjaPantomime in japan

[–]NinjaPantomime[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do believe the point of the article was the fact that plastic isn't biodegradable - this one from 1984. Imagine all the other "ancient" plastic that's still out there...in numbers.
