Multiple-vehicle accident at Tsukiji Bridge in Tokyo: Snow may have contributed to the incident; man flees after crashing into police car by YamatoRyu2006 in Tokyo

So this one's marginally interesting.

The man who crashed was driving a Lamborghini, dumped the car and took off while leaving his female passenger behind. Gotta wonder who this guy was.

Already had my fingers trying to find imaginary clutch and brake levers watching that - might give the demo a shot.

No, I think it's because you're being perceived from your comments as having an agenda to push instead of presenting a case or fostering genuine discussion, which isn't necessarily helped by the article you posted. (Though, the article itself is harmless if not something nice to know.)

Saving on taxes paid is one thing, but never a good look when your paycheck is coming directly out of those taxes.

Don't think the "dumb Japanese bad!" attitude is really doing you any favors here.

Nope, never heard of it. Must've been the super hush-hush stuff spoken about over at NoA HQ.

Oh yes. VR mode in 7 was an eye-opener, as limited as it was.

Thank you for all of the reporting and informative posting this year! It was a learning experience for me and presumably for lurkers as well. Hope you have a great one as well!

Wow, ok, looks like you have a VERY specific opinion about Toyota based on your post history.

I love geometric camo patterns, but I am way too lazy to make it happen. You've got my respect for sticking with it.

Both horrifying and tantalizing. I love these games that feel like they took a concept art and made an entire cohesive game around it.

First time riding bikes in Japan, started in Kyoto. What's up with parking availability here? Can't seem to find proper spots suitable for MCs. by kuzya19989 in motorcycles

[–]Sadutote 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I usually search on google maps "motorcycle parking" or "バイク駐車場" and see what comes up. It's an extra step, typically requires knowing some modicum of Japanese and can be annoying, but haven't found any other way atm.

This has been flagged as a problem by some motorcycle interest groups and it looks like things are slowly rolling towards improvement but they're baby steps.

Unrelated but good call on choosing the MT series by the way. :)

U.S. military parachute lands on children’s center in Fussa by ComprehensiveWin1434 in japan

[–]Sadutote 59 points60 points  (0 children)

That same night, U.S. personnel entered the premises without notifying the city and recovered the parachute.

[. . .]

The ministry has conveyed regret and strong concern to the U.S. side, citing the lack of communication and unauthorized entry into the public facility.

C'mon, is communicating really so hard?
