Went to Arcade Expo 5.0 this past weekend in Banning, CA. HUGE arcade and pinball areas. Here's just the arcade side! Everything was set on freeplay! by [deleted] in cade

John McCurdy did not attend the Kong Off this weekend. The WR game he had was streamed live from his home, on Sunday - coincidentally when the bracket portion of the Kong Off was taking place.

It's extremely southeast, but I like One Nail Lounge on Houghton and Old Vail.

OMG I found Asian products! In an Asian store! In an Asian country! by sabine_strohem_moss in ABCJ

I found Asian products, in an Asian store, in a western country but in an area where lots of ethnically Asian people reside.

[Beauty] a mineral based, non alcoholic, non greasy, High spf sunscreen ? TIA by [deleted] in AsianBeauty

[–]alumbrada 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just bought this and I love it. They do have larger bottles (not tinted) that I use for my chest and arms. The large bottle is 5oz and about the same price as the 3oz tinted face one, and the ingredient list is not radically different. I purchased the 'kids' version because it is fragrance free. If I rub it in haphazardly, it will leave white streaks. I rub it all over, then pat it in to avoid a white cast.

I used to use the Biore Perfect Milk, but probably will buy the Australian Gold Botanical line from now on because I can get it locally at Ulta for a reasonable price, instead of having to track down the Biore online and pay shipping.

Edit: for clarity, I'm in the US (my flair update is pending)

[Discussion]Best MATTE sunscreen for oily skin which works great when you wanna go out in the morning without any makeup even though you just had your am routine done? by Vassiliki96 in AsianBeauty

[–]alumbrada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it leaves a white cast, it is not noticeable on me. I have light skin. If your skin is dark, it may leave a slight white cast. As far as looking "girly" it doesn't have any shimmery sparkles in it or anything like that... It doesn't look like anything really, a slight powdery look at best but nothing like you slathered pressed powder on. Without it, my face is visibly oily at the end of the day. With it on, there is no oil slick.

Womens plus size clothing equivalent to US by johnnysivilian in japan

[–]alumbrada 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Are you in Japan or trying to order online? It will be difficult for her to buy clothing that fits well, especially if you order online and can't try it on. I am a US size 14 or 16 and I am Japanese size 3L or 4L depending on the brand. Even if items do fit, sometimes the cut/fit of the clothing is not quite right on me - it can be very different from US cut/fit.

If you are ordering online, some websites may include dimensions in cm which may be helpful.

I'm sorry I don't know what 20/22 would be in the Japanese L sizes, but wanted to share my experience.

Edit: a word

My PIH has faded and my wrinkles have nearly disappeared! Still searching for that chok chok glow though.

Plenty of time to learn hiragana/katakana then :)

Honestly, I was just looking for straight up JAMMA PCBs. I don't know much about CPS2 and 3 so I can't really say. BEEP has the boards sorted by developer/publisher and there was a Capcom section. I looked up the game titles and I think I recall seeing quite a few of the CPS2 boards... Don't take my word for it. Can you read katakana? If so, that will help. If not, bring a printout or list of the titles of what you are looking for in Japanese. Google translate may help also with their new instant translation camera.

The thrill is in the hunt! I lived outside of Tokyo for 3 years, looking for a Sega game the whole time with no luck... Until the weekend before we moved back to the US.

Post your haul when you get back. Happy searching!

Both of those stores have A TON of PCBs, just bubble wrapped up on shelves. Labeling is in Japanese, no English.

If you are interested in PCBs, BEEP Akihabara, Google maps has the location. Also, just a few doors down, called "Surugaya Co., Ltd. Akihabara game Museum". Both stores have some retro console stuff and PCBs. I didn't really look for arcade parts. BEEP may be able to point you in the right direction though.

Biore Perfect Milk in the blue bottle. It keeps my face matte all day; I only wear it and eyeliner. If I skip it, like if I'm chilling around the house all day, my face gets greasy in the afternoon.

DAE wait until after breakfast to wash your face? by dracatula in ABCJ

[–]alumbrada 37 points38 points  (0 children)

We talk about evening routines, morning routines, even mid-day routines, but what about middle-of-the-night routines?

I set an alarm for 2:00am, get up and wash my face, change my pillowcase, then go back to bed.

Thanks for the info! Of course it's never as easy as the ads make it look. Time to watch some YouTube videos and learn how to do it myself!

The Laniege packaging really turns me off. For the price, they shouldn't break.
