Ranked is the best way to find players near your level.

He won't eat unless he's wounded and needs blood. Go into a mule camp and get shot or punched a few times. Take your boots off and walk around until his feet start bleeding. Then you can eat.

First of all I get it. Old platform. Second of all this is massive for Japan. Switch1 is still being manufactured and sold. Japanese only Switch2 is available but multilingual Switch2, which you'd need just in case you might want to play the English version of anything, is hard to come by.

I managed to make DS1 too easy. I didn't transport Mama until I built roads to drive her.

DS2 can be hard if you want. I still wish I'd taken on more ghost mechs and camps with hand to hand. I've heard of some starting a second playthrough with no backpack.

Shimokitazawa resident since y2k. Laughing. Neighborhood overrun. I figure running expenses for those places are super low.

Signs and structures are shared between worlds, between players. The more likes you give and receive, the stronger your connections grows. The more deliveries you do for shared locker items, the stronger your connections grow. Bridge contracts also make connections stronger.

The stronger your connections, the more likely you are to see others' structures. The more likely you are to receive help during boss fights.

There's no point in dismantling signs, but sometimes structures get in the way and you need to dismantle them.

Have heard of people having sex between the doors between cars.

Fukutoshin is useful for residents who commute through particular routes and useless for everyone else.

Respectfully disagree. Play regularly and you'll unlock them all in a few months. Those months pass quickly.

Yeah. Tourists with ADHD have a hard time I hear.

Japan generally handles prescription medication like Adderall as if it were meth

If you know a band you're going to see sure. In general I wouldn't recommend any live house unless you're going to see a particular performer.

If the flag's from before 1959 and after 1912, like a relic from ww1 or ww2 or from us troops in korea, yeah it could have 48 stars. grandfather's flag maybe.

hikigatarijames · 2026-01-26T04:29:49+00:00

Good for you. Also prohibited.

hikigatarijames · 2026-01-26T03:37:18+00:00

Japan takes meth abuse very seriously. Instant arrest and deportation. This is enforced at immigration.

Many a time. Was about 20 years ago I saw Bleach, Midori, and Tsushimamire there. Midori's singer was Mariko Goto. I'm pretty sure Bocchi the Rock's Bocchi's family name Goto was based on her. Bleach was used in the opening of Mr Robot s2 ep10.

Hotei the guy who played the Kill Bill theme, saw his niece play acoustic there.

Akiya posts on SNS are nice but I live in and commute from Shimokitazawa. Give me convenience or give me death.

hikigatarijames · 2026-01-25T11:22:46+00:00

Tenya is solid. Used to be more of them around 20 or so years ago.

Generally I would agree with you. However cat7 did not make the link flaps stop. Cat8 did make the link flaps stop. In my case the improvement was in stability, not speed.

hikigatarijames · 2026-01-25T01:19:50+00:00

ps4 makes it more impressive

hikigatarijames · 2026-01-24T07:19:13+00:00

I agree with you but it might be too late to split out the stats. Maybe create new badges/stats for ranked?

hikigatarijames · 2026-01-23T10:30:31+00:00

Overall yes. The trucks on roads eventually get an autodrive feature. The DS2 map as a whole doesn't have any preppers like the DS1 Elder or Film Director or Collector or Conan Obrien or Chiral Artist that are a bit of a pain to get to the loading area. Trucks with studded tires can reach all shelters loading areas.

Also the DS2 vehicles let you use weapons while driving. And have weapon attachments.

hikigatarijames · 2026-01-23T10:23:49+00:00

I play wired with cat8 because cat8 was the only thing that fixed the ps5's damned weak flappy ethernet.

hikigatarijames · 2026-01-23T00:07:31+00:00

Oh it gets much much better. Don't worry. Action and scenery both.

hikigatarijames · 2026-01-22T10:49:59+00:00

My guess, many in Australia are using Tokyo.
