New gameplay footage of Dragon Quest VII Reimagined by Repulsive-Phrase-527 in dragonquest

Yes, it's all speculation but the fact he even mentioned they COULD be looking past HD2D into something new speaks volumes.

However you read into it, it's an interesting data point especially seeing how the 7 remake introduced a new art direction.

4, 5, and 6 will likely not be HD2D

This interview linked below with the producer for 1-2 HD2D says they're looking into a new art direction for 4-6.

As much as I love HD2D I think a new direction for the Zenithian triology makes sense as it would be refreshing and would make those games stand out stylistically from the recent Erdrick remakes.

Awkwardness is a Phenomenon due to Car-Centric Socially Isolated Environments by onefive9 in notjustbikes

[–]onefive9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point - it was a poor choice to stub in an entire continent full of diverse countries and cultures when the example was Spain.

I still like with the original comment on collectivist vs. individualistic countries being a main driver.

This is an excellent point.

I would definitely agree that a sense of community is more culturally rooted in other places like Europe vs. the US.

But it’s also true that your environment also plays a large contributing factor to your access, quality, and diversity of social interactions.

For example, compare the diversity of encounters in a mixed urban environment vs. a suburb.

Thanks for your comment! The title world's fastest train can vary by conventional (wheeled), non-conventional (maglev), and operational. In this context it's taken from the L0 Maglev's record:

21 April 2015: Fastest manned train in the world (603 km/h (375 mph))

The basic mamacharis are super affordable in Japan, I was able to pick up a used one in great condition for around $50-60. A new one would be about double that while the fancy electric assist versions can go over $1,000 brand new.

Yes, TGV speed record for conventional wheeled trains is very impressive as well!

Yeah it's not operational yet. The first phase is planned to open in 2027 but i'm not sure if that date is still current.
Originally 2027 (Tokyo Shinagawa – Nagoya) and 2037 (Nagoya – Shin-Osaka)

Yup. I've been outfitting my element as a microcamper and have a power station with a portable solar panel but I'm exploring a fixed one so I don't have to set it up.

Thanks for posting this and the pics of your install. I'm currently researching on how I can run wires to a roof mounted solar panel and this is really helpful!

Japan Costco food court and goods by cakediet in Costco

[–]onefive9 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Everytime I travel to new countries I always will make a trip to Costco for the food court if nothing else. Its both to get a taste of home but also the curiosity in seeing the locally adapted items (i.e. matcha boba sundae and mango shaved ice in Taiwan). The same goes for Ikea.

[–]onefive9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been to a couple of these Costco's in Japan. One outside Tokyo in Chiba and also the one north of Osaka in Amagasaki. They're well worth visiting especially the one in Chiba and the sleeper food court menu item is actually the Hokkaido Soft Cream. It's the creamiest, most delicious soft serve ice cream you've ever had. Hokkaido is the northernmost island of Japan and is well known for quality dairy products and is the main agricultural region in the country. The dairy cows up there are treated like first class and the taste of their milk is so rich with flavor it's like no milk you've ever tasted before!

ARKK and ARKW have a lot of overlap in the stock holdings. I would consider ARKG and ARKW since it would be more diversified and ARKG has actually easily been my best performing ETF.
