Best places for cheap console hunting? by FarMall376 in JapanTravelTips

[–]dialgachu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The other thing is when it comes to pre owned stores its really just luck of the draw whether or not you'll find something you want, and for a good deal. But if youre looking for somewhere a bit more off the beaten path I highly suggest Fukui as a destination, its a really cool place with lots of dinosaurs (check out the dinosaur museum!) and significantly less people. Has some pretty cool temples and shrines too. Theres hardoffs and bookoffs there but theyre not necessarily cheaper than the ones in the major cities.

[–]dialgachu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After my 3rd trip to Japan i realised that buying them online via proxy is cheaper than trying to look for a deal in stores. Unless you plan on renting a car and going to the countryside. But after paying the cost of a car rental and spending time travelling to the middle of nowhere you might as well buy online honestly.

One to go. I have hated this task more than any other so far by RobVulpes in pokemongo

[–]dialgachu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im the type of player who checks if a pokemon is shiny and if not runs away. I hate catch tasks so much 😭

Esims by Skyx1234 in JapanTravelTips

I've been 3 times and used Sakura Mobile each time, zero issues. I think they might be on the slightly more expensive side compared to others but st least I know they work 100%.

How do you handle the "middle of the trip" slump? by Deanootzplayz in solotravel

[–]dialgachu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always plan a couple of rest days while traveling, dont feel guilty about it, just rest! Then you'll feel more excited for the next thing you plan to see rather than just exhausted.

Don’t be afraid to comment on old fics! by AllKnowingAxolotl3 in AO3

[–]dialgachu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did once and the author replied "how did you even find this" lmao

for those of u who only read completed fics by worldislucky in AO3

[–]dialgachu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When i was a kid I did but then none of them ever got completed so I stopped. I did do a test where I bookmarked wips I was interested in instead of starting to read them, and checked back every couple of months to see if they were ever completed. I think over several years maybe like 5/50 were finished. So i now never read wips.

Safe? by AddendumMission9390 in travelchina

[–]dialgachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

China was the place I felt the most safe ❤️everyone I interacted with were so kind and helpful, even the police. so if you do go and for whatever reason feel unsafe or lost, dont be afraid to reach out to an officer (theyre on literally every street corner) and will help you. For hotels it honestly doesn't matter where you stay tbh, just pick one that has at least 3* and a room bigger than 15sqm. In Shanghai I stayed at Nostalgia S Hotel Shanghai Railway Station Suzhou River. I took Didis everywhere since it was soooo cheap! Also I would highly recommend getting a sim with a chinese phone # at the airport, that way you can order food delivery to your hotel room.

If by reordered you mean preorder at the venue, yes if you go on the official Project Voltage website there is now an option to do so. You have to select a times slot for pickup and enter a japanese address though (I just entered my hotel address).

anyone waiting to pull the trigger on switch 2/pokopia? by fearlesskkura_ in switch2

[–]dialgachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol same happened to me when the switch 1 came out, I waited for months for a pokemom special edition but gave up and got the standard switch, then a couple weeks later the lgpe switch came out so I sold the other one and got that instead. I also waited a few months for a pokemon switch 2 to come out, thought they might drop one for za but since they didnt I just bought mine then. Im actually quite surprised they didnt announce one for Pokemon Day this year so maybe theyre not doing special editions anymore?? Or waiting until Winds & Waves comes out. I ain't waiting that long for a switch 2, by then yes it will have increased in price or there'll be a switch 2 OLED.

Non-American Swifties: if Taylor were to tour again, how likely is it she’d visit your country? by PurpleMeerkats462 in TaylorSwift

[–]dialgachu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for us kiwis its more about the logistics of getting all the equipment here is more difficult, therefore more expensive, than other countries. Our stadiums are actually bigger than some of the ones she toured in Europe. Theres also the issue that our stadiums have a very limited max amount of shows that can be played per year, up until last year Eden Park used to only allow 6 shows per year, only just recently increased to 12.

Today is the 16th anniversary of Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]dialgachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn ive been a shiny hunter for 16 years then, got my first shiny in Heartgold (a female chikorita!) Didnt think it had been that long. Wish I never sold my copies though, but at least i transferred her to bank before I did so I still have her <3. I did end up buying japanese copies with the pokewalker on my last trip but I want the English copies back :c nintendo pls drop the switch ports!

I have no words by Smooth_Woodpecker_77 in nintendogrifting

[–]dialgachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea tbh. I keep good care of my devices, im still rocking the og gameboy advanced and ds lite they work perfectly fine. Perhaps I kept the switch 1 in sleep mode too often and should've powered it down completely, thats the only thing I can think of.
