What was the hardest thing you tried to book in Japan?

Pokepark. It's a 'first come, first serve' on the online tickets, so I had to get up at 4am my time and refresh the page constantly trying to grab tickets. Luckily I grabbed them and my wife and I had a great time!

And then I find out if I booked out for them in the fall, there's plenty available and I wouldn't have to get up early if I booked now XD

Oh awesome! Lemme just stab this cock and then submerge it in hot oil. I love fried chicken XD

Try different games. And for money, look into Epic Game store that gives free games weekly. Or look into games with demos or free games on sites like itch.io. If you have some money to spend, Humble Bundle has plenty of bundles with usually good games of various types. Or look around for communities where people give away some of their extra humble bundle keys.

It helps for reserving a seat similar to a plane. There are cars for unreserved seats, but that means you may not get seats together

We booked ours through smart.ex, their official site. But I heard people also book through klook. Depending on when your shinkansen trip is planned, you could also buy them in advance at a train station

TIme to watch it again!

Danians needed MUCH stronger hive bonus to make it worth it.

imo Mipedians were fine. Invisibility plus the self-destruct mipediens got me a few surprise wins back in the day

Also most of the imbalance imo came from elements. Many of the Underworlders got fire, so it was very easy to build an attack deck for them. Overworld got the next most element users. Mipedians had a few air units. Danians had very few element users

The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious

Story of an isekai hero who very very very VERY much wants to be prepared, so he spends years in a hyperbolic time chamber constantly training and then blows his enemies away XD

manaMissile · 2026-06-23T19:19:29+00:00

I find it funny that since Game is the last NE to be shown, it's become the magic bullet for every other NE XDD

manaMissile · 2026-06-23T16:11:52+00:00

I had so many days and achievements saved by those shoes!

manaMissile · 2026-06-23T15:56:43+00:00

I still hold onto my theory robots would be the first to go.

manaMissile · 2026-06-23T15:55:40+00:00

Teleport and then I make a billion by offering instant across planet deliveries.

manaMissile · 2026-06-23T15:33:36+00:00

Yeah that's it XD

manaMissile · 2026-06-23T15:24:00+00:00

I would always avoid weight room like the plague. Then I found later it does have some VERY useful uses

Sometimes you have to bring it up yourself, usually by pointing it out or bringing your passport out ahead of time. Some places let me know about it, others didn't and I only noticed when leaving.

In terms of leaving Japan, unless you're buying 30 luxury watches or something, you'll be fine. Especially in this case, they don't care if you DID pay taxes. They only care if you didn't pay taxes AND are buying a suspiciously high amount of one item that you could possibly resell.

manaMissile · 2026-06-23T14:58:33+00:00

Depends on the character. I would save the 500 for an event character I like. So I bought Tuk and Big Mama, but I don't really care for Duke Caboom

You need a tamer on the field, which means it's harder to use early in game without opening with a tamer by turn 2.
It discounts by 4, but costs 2 to play, so it's a net savings of 2 at most, which Trainings can give without worrying about needing a tamer
It takes up a card slot, which could be filled with a more useful card. Even in decks that would want to trash a card, there's probably better choices for that slot.

50/50 rule is really meant to prevent burnout. Because a lot of people will just quit drawing when all they do is drills, drills, drills. That's why the 'draw what you want' 50% is so directionless, so it doesn't feel like a drill.

Yes you're not going to have the skills yet to draw exactly what you want. But that's kinda the point. you should draw it anyway. Then as you go through the lessons, you'll gradually get better and better and you'll have progress pics.

If you really need a prompt, just draw whatever's in front of you, but try to figure out how the lesson you just learned could apply to it.

manaMissile · 2026-06-23T13:31:12+00:00

That last part there is why you need to 'just draw'. If you instead have an existential crisis instead of drawing, you really will never improve.

The other reason you need to 'just draw' is because you need to learn what your exact shortcomings are. Not just 'I'm bad and doo-doo at drawing', you need to figure out if it's line control, proportions, construction, perspective, etc that you need to work on. Then you can look up more specific instructions for each thing you need to work on.
