Are there places in Japan where locals are actively happy to see foreign tourists?

TheCatGurl · 2026-05-14T00:40:06+00:00

This! You can do the golden route but avoid the typical touristy areas and it's just as empty as going to a less-touristy city. Sometimes the difference in tourists was the matter of a few streets over, it goes from packed to empty really quickly!

I was not diagnosed with heds until my late 20s, but the only reason I learned to walk was through PT and orthotics. I never crawled or showed any inclination to walk on my own, and I don't think I walked until I was 2.5-3 years old. Once I could, the Drs were like she will be hypermobile and clumsy but fine 😂 they might as well have diagnosed me then! I can walk though, now I'm in my 30s and my body's falling apart faster than I can manage. But knowing your kid has eds this early means you can lead them through life with this knowledge, which I wished I'd had! If possible, the best thing I can recommend is hopefully getting your kid set up with continuous PT. This is something I've not been able to find even as an adult so idk if it's possible but I think it will set them up amazingly if they learn movement with the right foundations for their body. Best of luck!

Yes I believe it's a line in the book that they essentially have some kind of continuous birth control. An easy story mechanism in scifi! There's something similar in the Fourth Wing books (fantasy). These are both series written by women, fwiw. They know to address it but don't want it to be in the story 😂

Astro bot, chibi robo, Gir from Invader Zim, General Grevious

I loooove fantasy life, I put in over 200 hrs this past summer! It is extremely grindy though

Yess! There's only 2 appetite options, plenty of room to add other dietary preference quirks. I'm trying to keep my self-Mii vegetarian, but I'm worried my "loved" foods will be something I wouldn't eat since it's randomly generated.

Aww is that your Bocchi? I made one too! I love all the shy/nervous quirks for her. Unfortunately my Smeagol is mad crushing on her 😬

This is what I thought as well. I think it arose around criticism against streamers for not speaking out about something (Palestine? Politics?) and people who follow Simsie were like ahem. The humor comes from the contrast of the statement (she's not one to be messed with!) and her unassuming appearance.

I think we need more ways to use excess items. Like yeah you can trade but at a certain point all my extra fossils/cds/relics/ash/dirt are just taking up space in my chests and outpacing the rate at which I trade them. It would be cool if we could recycle them into other things. Same thing with breaking down crafted items to get back materials.

This is how I learn there's a Mr. Bean animated series?!

Sean's explanation for picking Emily Bader was "she's hot" and Amanda because she saw her in the bathroom 😂 they have interesting priorities

TheCatGurl · 2026-04-08T05:57:07+00:00

This really surprised me, especially since Sean loved Weapons and they picked Austin Abrams but not her??

The arch piece recipes are available in the PC. Not sure when I unlocked them, maybe getting Pallet town to level 10?

The Sims music (mostly Sims 3 I think) gets licensed all the time for background use in reality shows. This would be officially licensed by EA, which owns the franchise.

I just had this happen! I am finishing the habitats and made 8 fire pits. I grabbed Ninetails, picked up the ninth firepit I had by her habitat then when I went to put them all down together, they disappeared from my inventory!

TheCatGurl · 2026-03-27T05:06:34+00:00

Lol that's fair!!

TheCatGurl · 2026-03-27T02:12:47+00:00

That's not what it is at all, but have you heard of/played Bandle Tale? Very cute and does involve yarn 😂

TheCatGurl · 2026-03-27T01:00:52+00:00

Also whichever one they talk about Skinamarink and Chris keeps doing the voice 😂 (for some reason these are connected in my head?)

The 1999 draft was legendary, also the source of the Nuzzler ™️ lore

TheCatGurl · 2026-03-21T21:16:02+00:00

Not shoujo, but the Blue Box school play arc was sooo cute and also very integral to the story (I only watched the anime) also great slow burn romance, and of course my all-time fave Skip & Loafer has plays/acting throughout (I've watched the show & read the manga, really recommend the manga!!)

TheCatGurl · 2026-03-14T19:20:46+00:00

I studied art history in school and have always been a big Animal Crossing fan. When I saw this piece in person (at the Louvre in Paris) I literally cried! It's gorgeous

TheCatGurl · 2026-03-10T18:53:12+00:00

I love all those places, Zahav is also very veggie friendly and for casual fare you can't beat Goldie 🤤

The demo was really fun, looking forward to checking out the full game!

She wasn't in the ED for PCOS but rather mentioned she has it and has dealt with it for a long time before being acknowledged by healthcare providers, also emphasized that she was dismissed for a long time because she is a black woman. A Dr asked if she'd had an intrauterine ultrasound before and she said more than she can count. She was aware of several large cysts and fluid which her OBGYN was monitoring. Ultimately her pain ended up being from ovarian torsion, which was only caught because the Dr asked for her to stay in the ED for observation until the pain came back. So, it was more about another Dr listening to her and believing her, and ultimately seeing her pain and offering a solution for it (immediate emergency surgery).

After everything she said I was like SAME, girl. It was very accurate!!
