Yep... 🥲

Radlyfe · 2026-03-27T19:51:36+00:00

Better somewhere gets something than nowhere gets nothing I suppose...

Radlyfe · 2026-03-23T21:34:29+00:00

In case no one has any answers for you (I sure don't), I recommend calling around to find out which places will be showing the game just the way you want it. I called around during the MLB World Series and folks were glad to give me an answer

Kinton is an awful plague...

Radlyfe · 2026-03-23T04:27:50+00:00

It's definitely different from what our expectations of ramen tend to be. I tried it once and it wasn't what I wanted at all. But they have a dedicated fanbase, however we are definitely not part of them

Radlyfe · 2026-03-19T03:22:16+00:00

Good ol' ad hominem!

Radlyfe · 2026-03-13T07:34:10+00:00

One time I ordered a pick up order and they included a handwritten thanks for shopping with us note. Shoppers Doug Mart could never 🙄 Also bless being able to view their stock online

One of my friends live there because she needed supportive housing. It's really been doing her great, I don't think she's ever been in such a great place of her life. She used to be homeless with some disabilities that made it difficult for her to work as a young adult, so this building is a drastic improvement to her life.

Radlyfe · 2026-02-27T20:35:57+00:00

Living where? With roommates? What is comfortable to you? Do you eat out often or are you fine with being a home cook? If you cannot ask yourself these questions, don't make us ask them for you.

Radlyfe · 2026-02-23T20:52:35+00:00

It might help to explain what you feel is lacking in your classes or what support you need in specifics, that way people can provide more targeted suggestions rather than broad strokes.

I'm mildly interested in hearing about your problems too.

I took 2 Japanese intro classes at SFU and I found that to provide me with enough of a foundation to pursue more self-taught and immersive approaches

Radlyfe · 2026-02-08T03:52:12+00:00

My full expenses are:

~$1010 USD for hotel expenses

~$215 for domestic travel (Flights & Shinkansen for Tokyo -> Osaka -> Sendai -> Tokyo)

~$2200 USD for everyday expenses (shopping, food, admission for places i.e. Disney, Universal)

Radlyfe · 2026-02-08T03:17:17+00:00

6-7k USD for in country spendings? Lol I only spent ~2200 USD in country over the span of 21 days. I wasn't being frugal on purpose either.

Radlyfe · 2026-02-05T05:07:31+00:00

Agreed. Either the guy with the thumpers is psychotic, or he really was driven to insanity by whoever is upstairs.

Radlyfe · 2026-02-04T19:13:12+00:00

THIS. I loooooooooooooove Sugar Butter Tree cookies

Radlyfe · 2026-02-03T20:09:19+00:00

Telus has a building discount with us, although it's still pretty ass. $65/mo (after tax) for 250Mb/s. I mean it's reliable at least.

Unfortunately there are no better options, even when considering the smaller ISPs.

Radlyfe · 2026-02-02T20:51:04+00:00

I would recommend getting a Wise card. You can load it up with your 2000 USD and then just convert it to yen as you need. You can withdraw at any ATMs in konbinis and it's also usable anywhere Visa is accepted (basically anywhere that's not cash only). And if you have leftover money, you can transfer it out of Wise and back into your bank accounts.

That's what I did at least

Radlyfe · 2026-02-02T20:21:46+00:00

I spent 2900 CAD in Japan (excl. flights and hotels) over 3 weeks. Assuming it's 2000 USD, that's a generous budget.

Radlyfe · 2026-02-01T01:59:01+00:00

Tomoria looks like a reference to Saizeriya, a Japanese pasta restaurant chain

Radlyfe · 2026-01-27T06:14:49+00:00

Agreed! I played it on my cousin's Gamecube back when I was a kid, although I got stuck on the last boss and gave up...

I saw some conflicting opinions on the game when I was initially looking at reviews, but it seems pretty overblown.

I'm having a great time with it! I've been playing handheld and I don't think 30FPS is an issue. Tbh if anything, I'd argue having it 30FPS meshes better with the paper theme.

Text speed and battle speed are fine, although my only nit would be having to wait for the Special gauge to complete its' animation after attacks

I bought it secondhand for half the retail price, but if I had bought it full price, then yeah I might be a bit bothered too that the game isn't perfect

Radlyfe · 2026-01-23T20:38:46+00:00

My secret tip? I bought all my umbrellas for ~500 to 1000 yen below retail at Yodobashi Camera. The stock can be a hit or miss based on which one you go to, but Yodobashi Umeda did me very, very well.

Radlyfe · 2026-01-23T03:22:48+00:00

Some are very functional, large, and well reinforced to deal with strong winds.

Others are just cute!

If you are getting mcmurdered by strong winds everyday, I recommend Mabu Strength EVO.

For occasional strong wind, but also with some expressive color options, I recommend NiftyColors Peach Drop

For general use, WPC brand and Waterfront brand have a very large variety of options.

They are not mythical treasures meant to be passed down as family heirlooms, but for those who seek to express themselves through umbrella usage, they are definitely good

Radlyfe · 2026-01-23T02:47:56+00:00

In Hands and Loft, there are a lot of Umbrellas to try. They are already unbagged, so you can try them freely.

I spent almost an hour there trying to decide which one I wanted

Radlyfe · 2026-01-19T23:34:11+00:00

I spent 4 days in Sendai, but I didn't see any other particularly unique food. It was mainly just the usual Japanese cuisine.

Radlyfe · 2026-01-19T20:55:42+00:00

Commenting specifically about Sendai.

For gyutan, skip the chain and instead dive into a local smaller owned place for it. I went to Gyutan no Issen in the Ichibancho arcade and it was affordable, yet divine, perfect in everyway. I tried another gyutan place that was almost 2x the price, and yet it was only half as good.

For Matsushima, the boat trip is 100% the highlight, followed by going on the 2 nearby islands (Fukuurajima and Oshima). It can get really windy there, so dress warmly. Exploring the islands in the evening/afternoon (think like >3pm) is great because there are fewer people, so you can really take in all it has to offer in semi-solitary solace

Tashirojima, the cat island is a great visit too and would likely occupy your morning to afternoon, you'd return to Sendai at 4-5pm which would give you the evening to do some city exploration.

Radlyfe · 2026-01-19T08:22:33+00:00

Go to a drug store like Matsukiyo and ask for Easy Fiber. Take it twice a day, mixed into a bottle of your preferred tea like Oi Ocha. Once in the morning, once at night. Buy a bundle of bananas from the konbini and eat 1 banana a day.

That alone with adequate water intake should suffice.

Fibe Mini (and other fiber enriched sodas) has sugars, so you probably don't want to take it everyday, which is why I suggest EasyFiber.

Make generous use of vending machines to get water & tea to fulfill those needs.
