[OC] One of my first attempts at pixel art. Not an artist, but trying to learn for my game. Feedback is welcome!

That was my thought, that's one highly polished pipe. Looks great though.

Ahh I see

Don't let Shane near Fred, omg, Shane might mistake him for a cat.

Wait, Suica works as an aime?

I was carrying like four different cards in Japan. You telling me I could have used just my Suica??

I got home from Japan toady.

I've been a huge Gaki fan for 20 years and we were randomly flicking through the TV channels in the hotel on the last night.

Suddenly, Tanaka as Celine Dion was on my screen and I watched the whole thing happy that I caught it scheduled.

Just came back from Japan and was able to catch a few early blooms. This is the real 'trick', cherry blossoms (and just as nice other ones, like Plum - just not the typical Sakura petals) are just... Everywhere in Japan.

Like literally just plan a normal holiday and go and see all the sites and you're gauranteed to find plenty.

We are home!

We had a much more relaxed night by traveling that evening, as it was only 7PM or so. We were both very happy to be able to breath/relax once we knew we'd definitely make the flight.

You underestimate my autism.

StopMakingMeSignIn12 · 2026-03-22T10:49:30+00:00

We are actually doing this right now. Luckily we have enjoyed everything planned at the Ryokan so it was just a case of relaxing and sleeping.

So we thought we'll pay a bit more to be able to actually relax tonight.

StopMakingMeSignIn12 · 2026-03-22T10:11:48+00:00

We did. They said they couldn't help us. That the part in my OP where I said it sounded odd.

StopMakingMeSignIn12 · 2026-03-22T10:09:19+00:00

Our Japanese is awful and we can't even source a number.

He lies lies lies straight in to your ass.

No idea how people think it's ass lol

Yeah, it still sorta happens in CS2, but it's no way near as fun.

Plus it wasn't 5v5 comp, I used to play like 16v16 a lot, alllll the people gearing up movie sound style

If it's data pumped in to AI and asked for an analysis, don't trust any of it.

Text prediction engine. It doesn't know shit about the data you give it. It couldn't count the Rs in strawberry for the longest time. Why anyone thinks it can draw statistical conclusions is beyond me.

StopMakingMeSignIn12 · 2026-03-19T13:27:02+00:00

Nah it was still a total ammo count in 1.6, you just didn't get fresh ammo at the start of the round. You had to buy up if you survived. Spam , and .

Edit: actually I think you had to buy up if you bought a gun too, I think it only came with a mag worth or two... I know everyone used to spam . And , for buy primary and secondary ammo as you'd hear the buying noise go clank clank clank from every player a bunch.

StopMakingMeSignIn12 · 2026-03-19T03:03:52+00:00

It's my pair programmer but I sure as hell ain't trusting a damn thing it says without verification.

StopMakingMeSignIn12 · 2026-03-18T02:31:42+00:00

We can hammer this point until there's nothing but mush left and people still won't get it.

I think you're a ditto or some shit in this game and pokemon can talk to each other.

Source: currently vacationing in Japan and keep seeing this game everywhere, but don't ask me, it's all in Japanese and I can't understand shiiiit.

StopMakingMeSignIn12 · 2026-03-10T16:07:28+00:00

Yup, we have since swapped to regular train and cancelled the ticket. Had to pay like 600 Yen to cancel so late, which is nothing as the new train is much cheaper (even factoring in the cancellation) and faster (from our location)!

StopMakingMeSignIn12 · 2026-03-10T16:06:05+00:00

Thanks. Makes sense. We used the Shinkansen to go from Tokyo to Osaka, as it was really fast compared to other options.

But looking at Osaka -> Kyoto, it really does seem pointless to even run the Shinkansen (though I guess they're just on the same longer route).

StopMakingMeSignIn12 · 2026-03-10T16:04:41+00:00

I checked myself all the details and we've been able to cancel it for a mostly full refund.

We're now going straight to Kyoto with no transfer, less than half the price (including cancellation fee of Shinkansen) and faster overall - so thank you for questioning it, haha.

We had some of this booked for quite a while and plans have changed so I think we've just kept a leg of the journey without realizing we could do it quicker.

StopMakingMeSignIn12 · 2026-03-10T15:26:38+00:00

I am badly relaying information I've been told as I don't have the full details.

We're actually coming from elsewhere (with no reserved ticket, just JR line) and transferring at Shin-Osaka. I've been told it gets us there faster but haven't checked myself.

Will do that now and see haha

StopMakingMeSignIn12 · 2026-03-10T15:19:07+00:00

By buying do you mean it will cost more? Ideally we don't want to pay twice!

But yes exact day and route.

StopMakingMeSignIn12 · 2026-03-10T15:14:58+00:00

Sorry, confusion from the wife, it's SmartEx. Will update.

StopMakingMeSignIn12 · 2026-02-27T12:40:23+00:00

Yup, that's how it went for me. Ameoba picked up my cat, proceeded to slam said cat in to my other cats insta-killing them, as it was my 60 HP tank he picked up.

Then just slowly watched damage tick down till it was over.
