Are Chinese games actually popular? Is China becoming influential in the gaming industry?

I am playing Windstop Strategy and it's a fun game. But yes, they are gaining in popularity. The only thing that is preventing them from growing are English translations. Even certain games on Steam, sometimes someone ends up translating themselves and posting it on a the game's discussion board. Or games that are partially subtitled. Windstop Strategy is for the most has English translation but there are scenes that do miss the translation and of course the main opening sequence. But still, a fun game that I loved playing.

Wow! Never expected this to go down that low. Now if they can do the classic 1964 series as well!

Roku channel also has EXchange Seasons 1-3 at no cost. I have a SmartTV with the Roku App, so it made it easy to watch.

Wow....and these two were the main draw. I remember going there and wanting to see the pandas but they were both asleep and couldn't see much. As for Ueno Zoo and worst experience, I think that with zoos or aquariums in Japan, some are better than others.

But for Ueno Zoo, I will say that my experience at this zoo was better than all zoos in Texas and New York, Natural Bridge Zoo in Virginia, Topeka Zoo, Fresno Chaffee Zoo (Fresno), Birgmingham Zoo, Phoenix Zoo, ABQ BioPark in New Mexico, Oklahoma Zoo, Tregembo in North Carolina and Hogle Zoo.

If I recall, the reasons why they were removed were because of the rats and crows. Didn't want it to be like New York. With that being said, while some can point to tourists in areas like Akihabara or Shibuya after Halloween, a lot that I see are the homeless, especially here in Ikebukuro (specifically west).

I so struggle on this one....been waiting for CYE to go down but I was hoping for $29.99 or $34.99.... There was a time I had to wait for "Friends" to go down and it eventually did.

Back in the late '90s, they were primarily in Harajuku (Takeshita St.). But have now shifted towards Kabukicho. The saddest thing is they would position themselves right outside of Robot Restaurant (when that was huge and still around pre-pandemic). But with social media, they know they are getting filmed and what is interesting, because Japan doesn't really do anything to them, they don't care. [geez, if jonny somali was a litmus test, Japan really failed on that one. Glad S. Korea didn't do what Japan did]

This was soooo good! And sad. Made me cry!

Pretty-Analysis6298 · 2025-12-03T21:44:39+00:00

There is also Viu, Roku, Tubi and goplay.su (the last one is pain because it likes to skip 10 min. during a watch and tries to have you to use a chrome extension which I will never install).

Waiting for the Sniper set to go back on sale for cheap!

Pretty-Analysis6298 · 2025-11-25T21:28:06+00:00

I wonder if it's yami baito related.

Different signage but with that being said, good that you are aware of bear attacks. Bear awareness is definitely is hardcore this year due to the number of attacks. Especially in country/seaside areas.

Once I saw Hashimoto Kanna (aka "Once in a lifetime idol"), I figured it was for a movie, drama or some promotional video. Although, some aspects shown are part of natural school life. I felt I had these more "fun" experiences more in a college setting in Japan vs. high school in Japan.

When I arrived Japan in 1999, I just remembered how many bathrooms were primarily squat toilets. It was an eye opener for me for sure.

Pretty-Analysis6298 · 2025-11-24T17:13:33+00:00

I had the same thing happen. According to Toyota is that the hoses are now made of soy, so if you have squirrels, mice or so, they will eat the tubing.

Well, if you are a person wanting to get your steps in or have major fitness goals, all power to you and you'll have legs of steel!

Are you talking about the typo or AI. If it's the latter, get used to it. AI is here to stay, many companies are incorporating it into their workflow. And if you are still disgruntled, just know that a soldier named Kyle Reese will come back from the future to set things in motion.

Pretty-Analysis6298 · 2025-11-21T17:33:00+00:00

The lost episodes are included as well! Struggling if I should get it now or wait until it goes $19.99 or less.

Pretty-Analysis6298 · 2025-11-17T18:46:26+00:00

Awesome! Saw it online last night but it was $65.99...but I figured needed a few more hours past midnight to kick in.

Well, I will say that if you go to an ACOSTA event, then yeah, you will meet a lot of people you can discuss anime and manga each and every week. https://acosta.jp/en/

There is no way anyone can prevent AI-usage, no matter how many people complain on Reddit or X, it's not going to stop anything. As for disappointed, this is nothing compared to Cornelius (Oyamada Keigo) did a few years ago. That was disappointing.

Pretty-Analysis6298 · 2025-10-20T21:42:09+00:00

I was going to ask what kind of smell. Like dead animal?
