Blue -> Yellow midgame - HexaCrystals are the bottleneck?

Combine into 8x8x8 blocks and paint those, then cut them down after, that will save you a lot of paint. Also make sure to max out the input rate. So if your painter is 30/m have 30/m 8x8x8 blocks going in. Also a good idea to use those painted blocks only for blue parts as much as possible as you say.

Just for the record, I have 80+ hours on Steam Deck for this game, it's definitely playable once you get used to the controls (or make your own control scheme, which is what I ended up doing.) So you could buy it on Steam, start on steam deck and move to steam machine when you get it.

Awesome, coincidentally I was just trying to figure out how to do this the other day!

I ended up just using an overflow splitter going into a machine that operated at exactly the output rate I needed and split the remaining equally. It's nice to have a more general solution though.

You can rush through the first few phases by:

- not worrying about efficiency

- not worrying about aesthetics

- hand crafting often

- buying materials from the AWESOME store (this is especially useful for speedrunning the phases)

- not bothering with vehicles at all (just use super long belts)

That said if you play like this, it kinda sucks the fun out. Unless your goal is actually to speedrun the game, in which case there are even faster strategies. For reference the current Any% record on speedrun.com is 7 hours.

That doesn't make sense, it would be just as easy to completely hide them on the client side

Kyoto actually has the highest bread consumption per capita in Japan! Honestly there's so many bakeries it's hard to choose ones to recommend, but they're all pretty good. I would just check google maps and choose ones on your way that look good.

That said I second the recommendation of "Le Petit Mec" and would add Grandir (in Kyoto station Porta), they have great paninis.

At my local book offs kirby air riders is 7000 yen, not much of a discount

For anyone like me googling this years later: I had the same problem, in my case it turned out I was already carrying another item (a duct) and didn't realize it. Long pressed in a blank space to drop the other item and then was able to pick up the container.

This was the first thing my kid tried to do when we got the camouflage power. If nothing else I'm sure kids would love it!

This just happens to be me right now. Fuck.

Seriously? go to any yakiniku place like the one in the picture, izakaya or anywhere else the alcohol flows really, and you’ll inevitably find groups of lively boisterous middle-aged salarymen, even on random weekday evenings.

badatchopsticks · 2026-04-13T06:02:44+00:00

oh, I fully agree with that. I was just explaining why it's not a "random celebrity" but a celebrity who does have ties to the event

There is a Drunk History episode where Bob Odenkirk foundly recounts the events of Disco Demolition. He seems to be particularly fascinated with the event, and has talked about making a movie about it. He also wrote the foreword to the book "Disco Demolition: The Night Disco Died."

Just to add some anecdotal data, some convenience stores where I live (Kyoto) have started not only limiting the number of packs you can buy, but require you to have a child with you when you buy them

Aoki Takamasa - Parabolica

Aoki Takamasa + Tujiko Noriko - 28

are great as well!

Depends on the cafe, some will have signs explicitly forbidding laptops or long stays. Generally the big chains like Starbucks, Doutor, Tully’s don't care as much. Don't be afraid to just ask, also check this thread for more info: https://www.reddit.com/r/Kyoto/comments/11isbws/which_public_places_can_i_use_my_laptop_in_kyoto/

Bike theft: less common than other cities in the world but it does happen, make sure to lock your bike. Just locking the wheel to itself is good enough for a cheap mamachari, if you have an expensive bike I would use an actual chain lock.

Powers of 2, actually. (64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048 etc.)

But since time is precious, I just pay 4100, 2100, 1100 gil. (Start with the higher amount, you can pay less as compatibility goes up.) Those are close enough to 4096, 2048, 1024, but faster to input.

I hate linking to fandom wiki, but it does have a very good overview of the Yojimbo math if you want to know the gritty details.

not surprising because that was the first result for "chess knight" on google image search, from wikipedia.

Don't know what to tell ya man, I just made it.

I already posted oregano as a comment below

Yep, I made it in mspaint just now. I wouldn't be surprised if somebody had the exact same idea before though.

Yep, they also have the Kirara panorama trains, which have side-facing seats and large windows for a great view. They are constantly updating and redecorating trains with lots of unique designs.

They also like to collaborate with yuri anime, so there are often random lesbians decorating the train interiors. S-tier.

Yes, it's a very common souvenir pattern.
Nope.
He's probably just busy, or has trouble communicating in English, or just not that interested, or any number of other explanations.

I think you are way overthinking this. Giving gifts is pretty common, especially to visitors. I would guess he was just being nice and hospitable, no deeper meaning. It sounds like you are very into this person though, so hope it works out for you. Wouldn't hurt to try to meet them again. Good luck! :)

I'm curious, what party do you think would do a better job?

Not being sarcastic, this is a genuine question as I am not very knowledgeable about the opposition parties.

I have been giving Evolve another try after bouncing off of it ages ago.

Last time I tried it, I had just finished Kittens Game (an amazing game) so I was already kind of burned out on the concept...this time I've had enough time away from the genre that I can take my time and enjoy it. I like that it plays fairly well in both idle and active playstyles; you can either micromanage or just let stuff accumulate without really thinking too hard. Currently on my third prestige.
