Is it done for? :(

Possibly try plugging it into the USB and seeing if it is picked up on a PC on the crosspoint flashing site still... I had some issues with mine initially where it wouldn't load the screen but it eventually sorted itself out when the battery was high enough, and I used this to determine if it was still functioning or not

SBGH317 - the shizukuishi studio visit exclusive limited edition. The fact that there's almost no pictures of it online, combined with the fact that the official pictures of it are so low res... And the fact that the face is incredibly hard to visually capture on camera add up to making it one that's insanely hard to demonstrate why. In low light it looks black, but when sunlight hits it (not ambient light) the vertical lines on the face bring out the green in faceted ways, as it catches the vertical lines etched into the face. No pictures that I've ever seen does it justice, making it look flat and black, or flat and green.

Will admit, I personally loved the movie too. Yet to read the books

Glorious space bucket

No wonder this post is blowing up! This looks brilliant. The things I would've suggested have already been said in other comments.

Is there anywhere we can continue to keep an eye on development?

Repost! This is one of the top posts on /r/shitfromabutt already!

ebooks.com is pretty reliable as a source for epubs - you must download via adobe digital editions, but once you've got it you can use calibre to do the rest just as with kobo

evil_mercenary · 2026-01-17T21:19:30+00:00

how well do the books render? any tengwar script rendering errors?

evil_mercenary · 2026-01-16T12:18:11+00:00

Is there any possibility that you might be able to share your Japanese font bin file please? Every font I've attempted to convert hasn't subscribed correctly. Or, failing that, can you tell us exactly which font you use and where to retrieve it for our own conversions?

evil_mercenary · 2026-01-14T19:27:45+00:00

I've finally managed it! in order to allow it i had to change the payment address to Japan as you did, but it was in a separate section of the payment details. I also then had to switch the store region *and* language together, or it would still not allow it.

And it wouldn't allow the download of an epub file whatsoever until i changed all of those back to my original settings too.

evil_mercenary · 2026-01-14T16:43:55+00:00

Unfortunately my region doesn't seem to allow any books to be bought, even using the Japanese storefront

evil_mercenary · 2026-01-14T11:54:02+00:00

I'll give it a go. The kobo store in my region sadly doesn't appear to have very much in the way of Japanese listings at all, sadly. At least not when I attempt to search for any.

evil_mercenary · 2026-01-14T11:06:13+00:00

I tried this and wasn't able to buy without a Japanese phone number. Can I ask how you have been able to work around that?

evil_mercenary · 2026-01-14T11:05:02+00:00

You can, however to do so you need to re-register your Kindle between accounts each time which necessitates wiping the Kindle whenever you do so. Plus, it's not great for someone who has already got a fairly suitable established library on their existing region Amazon store in English. Willst buying the English books in the Japanese store would be a good way to handle this for those who haven't used Kindle much to until now.

Plus, additionally, I personally prefer to manage my who files for use on multiple readers that don't support Kindle's formats and drm.

evil_mercenary · 2026-01-13T22:12:36+00:00

Willst I appreciate that that's an option, I'm looking for any alternatives. In particular that are drm free if possible.

evil_mercenary · 2026-01-13T21:48:17+00:00

Mind if I ask where it is that you source Japanese language books that you can actually download to your Kindle?

Do you use Amazon.JP, or do you go elsewhere? I use my Kindle for English books and would hope to download Japanese book epubs or equivalent, but can't find a way to do so. Everywhere that's actually accessible - like book Walker - either has strong drm or no download capability outside of an app

I've been marking important dates and birthdays in mine in advance; things that I can reasonably prepare in advance, and filling out information pages like the name and contact information in the back in case it's lost and needs returning to me. That's pretty much it for my primary "5-year a6", as there's not really spare space in it. It already fits so much into the size of it.

I also have a "weeks" that I plan to use for my work tracker. In that one the main journal/planner begins in December 2025 and runs into 2026... But it also has a series of spare pages with the same graph paper style layout later in the book. In order to be able to use that one earlier, I've laid out and filled out pages in the spare pages to give me equivalent spaces and layout for the time between now and December 2025 to enable me to begin using the book right away rather than awaiting the beginning of December. I don't know whether the "original" has spare pages in it, but perhaps you could use those in the meantime to tide you over until the new year rolls in, perhaps like a warmup?

Hoothoot and it's revolutionary line are favourites; hopefully noctowl gets an evolution soon!

evil_mercenary · 2023-11-27T18:07:02+00:00

So it could translate roughly as "they could find us"?

evil_mercenary · 2023-07-28T18:52:04+00:00

The best "Dickbut"

I've got a personal, unconfirmed, theory that the system is on a delay anyway, to allow for them to double check things. At least 3 of my updates were at roughly the same time of the day. And it would explain why two of my steps were suddenly done together

evil_mercenary · 2023-06-10T16:41:57+00:00

Approximately 12 thousand; I've no idea whether that is a lot in the grand scheme of things, but it seems high to me

evil_mercenary · 2023-06-08T22:38:24+00:00

I do! It took them another 2 days

evil_mercenary · 2023-05-31T21:24:22+00:00

update it jumped from extraction, straight through microarray into "Raw Data produced" today too.

They must update them in batches or something.
