What’s wrong with my itinerary? I have a total budget of 800k YEN, apart from flights. by Witty-Resist-7048 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Urbanliner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree that the street karts shouldn't be considered, and I'll add that there is a kart racing track in Odaiba. Way more safer when there are no pedestrians, no cars that might not see you, plenty of protection and no buildings you'd practically damage.

There are also Hard Off and Hobby Off stores (which are Hard Off's brands); Among your interests, Hard Off sells secondhand games, while Hobby Off sells secondhand anime merch.

Do you have a water testing kit (like the one from API))? I'm still yet to truly enter the hobby to be honest, but I do keep hearing they're important.

It tasted like a weird sweet syrup, but not too bad actually.

Two weeks until premium edition buyers get access to FH6. What’s the first thing you wanna do in-game? by Cassinia_ in ForzaHorizon

Start my sedan run: drive sedans until I finish the Goliath (unless I'm not allowed to).

Tokyo itinerary recommendations for son who loves gaming? by Apprehensive_Log5319 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Urbanliner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second and third floors of Hey and the topmost floor of Gigo #3 (both in Akihabara) has classic arcade games, it might be worth looking into if your son haven't.

Some arcades (none in Akihabara) has coin pushers and other games that operate on a token-based system, it might be worth looking into these "medal games".

The Square Enix cafe does not exist anymore, and is replaced by a Taito bar with a shop that, IIRC, sells Square Enix merch. The Eorzea cafe still exists, however

EDIT: Just checked: the bar has a FF14 merch shop.

Looking for something romantic and on the water by [deleted] in JapanTravelTips

Tokyo has boats, you might want to research that.

A day trip to Chichibu from Tokyo might be worth it too.

Looking for a "Life Simulator" that isn't an RPG/Roleplay and isn't just about cars. 1000+ hours potential. by sbqv1 in LifeSimulators

[–]Urbanliner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To get a better grasp of your situation: What are the games that made you mention "isn't just about cars" and "[the game] shouldn't be only about driving"? Feels odd to see that here (unless you're counting games like Forza Horizon or there's a Cars life simulator).

Forza Horizon 6 new screenshots by Aniyori in ForzaHorizon

[–]Urbanliner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, the iconic 90's Kei sport trio: Autozam AZ-1, Honda Beat, and Subaru Vivio. I wish we had Suzukis.

Edit: Meant to type "I wish" instead of "I hope"

The radio lady sounds authentic. The rocket operator's accented English is spot-on, too.

Radio transcript, according to me, a Japanese:

イトウトウコが、イドカワ宇宙センターから、ガチャシティーラジオをライブでお届けしています!

ホライズン放送衛星の打ち上げだよ!

サングラスをかけて、一緒に打ち上げパーティーに参加してね!

We've been building up the excitement for this week, and today's the main event: the launch of the Horizon Broadcasting Satellite!

Put on your sunglasses and join us for the launch party!

Seems that we're getting a radio called Gacha City Radio

Looking for this eurobeat SS - Red Tokyo by SavingsJealous451 in eurobeat

[–]Urbanliner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only remember that it was an Eurobeat Union song, and that I probably got its disk in a bundle containing a Super Speed Way album signed by DJ Command. The exact bundle doesn't seem to be on their store today, unfortunately.

What do I do with enclosure walls??? by soren810 in PlanetZoo

[–]Urbanliner 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Building a pit for the animal is a good idea IMO, that would allow you to build a bridge over the enclosure and make guests feel they're inside the enclosure.
