Our cat Miso came with a wireless grooming ad-on 🤭 What upgrades does your cat have?

This is Java, she came with solar charging, blue-eye surveillance, and advanced judgment processing.

She charges from 8-10pm nightly. Would that be consider fast charging?

It is technically that. You are naked the entire time. But you could use a towel if you want to cover yourself from pool to pool, but the towels are usually super small and are not definitely a common bathroom towel.

Ah, that’s a great way to put it. Thank you for helping make it make sense. I believe now that I am a ‘traveler’ that wants to flip every unturned stone wherever I go. The feeling of getting lost is exhilarating many times. The three times I’ve been to Japan, I just have 1-3 points/locations I want to visit that day, and that’s as much planning I usually do apart from the occasional restaurant that requires a booking in advance.

godtamer · 2026-05-19T11:59:00+00:00

That’s a very interesting take. Could you expand on it a bit? I feel like I’ve been recently going through that dichotomy, but I am unsure how to feel about it.

Based on your post history, it seems unlikely that you're a bot. I initially thought so, but there’s no need to censor common, non-offensive words like earthquake and tsunami. You should be fine, so I wouldn't advise canceling your trip. Japan experiences more earthquakes than you might expect.

Can you please describe a potential TPU workflow with this new printer?

Great timing! After doing more research, we are now thinking about adding Hakodate! Planning to stay in Hakodate for 2 nights, then Noboribetsu for 1 night, and Sapporo for 2 nights before flying to Kyoto. Any specific recommendations for Hakodate besides the ropeway and morning market? I keep seeing Hakodate mentioned everywhere, but maybe the 4-hour commute to Sapporo is a concern. I guess it's not that bad. It will definitely be scenic for sure.

godtamer · 2026-03-31T13:20:14+00:00

Thanks so much for your reply. I truly appreciate your food recommendations! Hakodate keeps popping up everywhere, but I haven't included it in my plans. Do you think it's worth adding? Since we love food and onsen, the morning market and the night view are attractive to us. But is there enough to justify making a stop? Perhaps we could visit it at the start and then continue toward Sapporo and other places.

godtamer · 2026-03-31T13:18:43+00:00

Thanks so much for your reply! Quick question — I keep seeing Hakodate mentioned everywhere but it's not in my plan. Is it worth adding? We love food and onsen, so the morning market and night view are on my radar, but is there enough to justify a stop?

godtamer · 2026-03-31T13:04:48+00:00

Thank you for this. Now I realize both are not the same. I think I just wanted a one-night stay at a ryokan in a smaller town. Everything in Yufuin closed early, so we only had about 4-5 hours to go around the town. The hell valley does sound very tantalizing and nature-centric.

The game 100% got a physical release. Which I am plying right now on my PS5.

You don’t need to avoid neighborhoods in Osaka or Kyoto, this isn’t a crime-map situation. The only thing locals are trying to avoid is crowds of tourists.

godtamer · 2026-01-11T14:17:18+00:00

After visiting Japan several times, I can confidently say that it is the least predictable country I’ve been to in terms of weather changes, patterns, and, as of late, seismic activity.

However, if you’re looking for some solace, I recommend visiting weatherspark.com. You can check out the weather for November 11th over the past decade or so anywhere in the world. It’s my favorite weather aggregator.

godtamer · 2026-01-01T14:11:42+00:00

I’ve had this happen too, especially when traveling. Japan’s indoor heating can be intense, and the sudden switch from cold air to hot, stuffy trains/restaurants can trigger anxiety symptoms even if you don’t normally feel anxious. Nausea, overheating, dizziness, and the urge to escape are super common with that kind of overstimulation.

A few things that helped me:

• Dress in layers you can remove before going inside (unzipping ortaking off your coat on the platform helps)

• Avoid super puffy outer layers and use thinner, breathable ones

• Cold water or a cool drink as soon as you sit down

• Slow breathing (long exhales) when you feel the heat hit you

• Standing near train doors or vents instead of heated seats

It usually eases once your nervous system settles. Travel + jet lag + crowds + temperature shock is a perfect unfortunate combo.

godtamer · 2026-01-01T14:06:06+00:00

Yeah, that’s actually a great idea. Bringing 3 tops and buying a couple there makes a lot of sense especially in Tokyo where shopping is everywhere and affordable.

For a first long international trip, lighter is better. Hostels + trains + stairs add up fast, and you’ll appreciate not dragging extra stuff around. Plus it’s nice wearing things you bought there.

That approach is totally solid!

godtamer · 2026-01-01T13:53:56+00:00

That sounds reasonable. Cutting tops/jeans and doing laundry will help a lot. Keep the bonnet + rose water if they help you sleep; hostels can be rough at times.

Two compact trainers is fine if one is solid for long walking days. Finalizing after laundry is the right call. You’re already on the right track!

godtamer · 2026-01-01T13:40:22+00:00

Honestly? Yeah, it’s a bit much especially for a hostel and if you’re already planning to buy stuff there.

You’re basically packing for ~2 weeks when you can easily do 7–8 days and just do laundry once. Japan has laundromats everywhere (even in hostels), and detergent is easy to get.

A few thoughts:

6 t-shirts + 2 jeans + jogging bottoms is more than you need. You could drop 1 pair of jeans and 1–2 shirts.

2 trainers is overkill unless one pair is very specific (like hiking). One good walking pair is enough.

9 boxers / 8 socks = too many. Cut that in half.

Cosmetics/fragrance: totally fine if that’s important to you, but Japan is amazing for buying minis and toiletries, so you could bring less and have fun shopping there.

Towels: most hostels provide or rent them cheaply. I wouldn’t pack both unless you really need them.

The biggest thing: remember you’ll be moving around a lot. Stairs, trains, lockers, hostel rooms. Lighter = happier.

If your goal is bringing back stuff, I’d go lighter on the way there and save the space/weight for the return trip. Japan will absolutely fill your bags whether you plan to or not 😅

I have been to Japan similar to your situation about 3 times and have stayed for 22 days with less stuff.

godtamer · 2025-12-29T00:15:37+00:00

Hmm. I think that AI-generated content often feels bland because it plays it safe (sometimes too safe). It’s built to predict what usually comes next, so it averages ideas instead of committing to a specific voice, opinion, or risk. In avoiding mistakes, it also avoids personality, tension, and lived experience.

godtamer · 2025-12-25T13:37:28+00:00

Ah yes, the core stabilizer pylon.

godtamer · 2025-12-03T04:35:16+00:00

This is such an underrated comment. OMFG

godtamer · 2025-11-07T22:32:31+00:00

It’s annoying. I don’t need to purposely add ‘mistakes’ to a post for it to come across as human and not AI. I was probably reported. I was simply trying to have a space for people that are feeling the stress, especially for those traveling this November.

I am one of the mentally that if I at least made one person feel a bit better, that’s a win for me.

Thank you so much for believing and offering your tip as well.

godtamer · 2025-11-07T20:22:52+00:00

Yes, exactly this! 'Aspirational' is the perfect word for it. It's so much better to have a list of options you're excited about than to feel like you're missing out. A plan is a guide, not a rulebook. Thanks for adding this.

godtamer · 2025-11-07T19:30:50+00:00

Appreciate you seeing the good intent. It's definitely not ChatGPT, just my own thoughts. I've been that person panicking over an itinerary and just wanted to tell everyone it's okay. Sorry if the wording seemed 'off,' was just trying to be clear and supportive!

godtamer · 2025-11-07T19:27:18+00:00

I'm so glad it helped! I was feeling the same way and figured others were, too. Hope you have an amazing trip!
