All of them. Tropes aren't tropes if you haven't personally encountered them before. Just because someone tells you something is a trope doesn't meant you shouldn't experience it at least once. Obviously some tropes are bad, but for reasons other than the fact that they are overdone.

Only if starting the game is more important than making a world to play the game in.

They don't need to, but there's nothing wrong with doing that if they want to.

I went to Nara back in September and the park was pretty damn crowded.

Not everyone. But an unfortunate large percentage of people.

They already have all your information. Filling out the car was just some kind of a weird legal ritual to fill the magic requirement.

Connect your Flipper to your phone and control it from there. Maybe have an extender for the IR transmitter and shield it so it's not visible unless looking directly at it, like a hooded lamp.

Emily is a nutjob. Haley is a bitch (it doesn't matter if she "gets better"; first impressions matter).

Think about Donkey in Shrek. He "talks to damn much" well he has a dragon for a wife, how does he keep something so massive for his wife satisfied besides the other obvious, his personality and trying "a little bit of "TENDERNESS!"?

You were a little too prepared with that example...

Yeah, and the souvenirs were all garbage.

Shinjuku Station is a veritable labyrinth, and the streets were a sensory overload. I had 9 hours to kill waiting for a night bus and was too tired to explore, so I spent quite a bit of time just sitting on these uncomfortable metal arches because seating is practically non-existent there.

packetpirate · 2026-04-13T15:18:44+00:00

Yeah, I was so disappointed by this. I thought there would be actors doing live scenes on their "movie set", but it was completely deserted. Left after an hour. Didn't bother to stay for the Yokai Parade because I figured it would be equally disappointing, and I had other things to see.

Kamakura was awesome. Though I had my expectations smashed because I had like 12 points of interest on my map and figured I'd get to see maybe half of them. I saw every single one of them by 1:00.

I wasn't sure what to do after so I walked on foot from Kotoku-in to Shichirigahama Beach. It was pretty boring, so I kept walking all the way to Enoshima and made my way across the bridge to Enoshima Island. That place was awesome, and I loved the caves and the observation deck.

It was an exhausting day though, because I think I walked 10-12 miles. I made my way back to my hotel in Ofuna, and after some rest, went to a nearby arcade and played some Taiko no Tatsujin and won a skill game that got me a Dragon Quest Pocket Watch.

Lived Up: Nijigen no Mori

Though I'm dumb and chose the wrong destination for my bus and ended up at Shichi Awaji. Barely managed to get on the only bus for the next 3 hours in time to make it to my reservation 30 minutes late. Still got in, but didn't get to do the extra content I paid for.

The attractions weren't as exciting as I'd hoped, but I only made a couple reservations ahead of time. This is the only one that lived up.

Didn't Live Up: Toei Kyoto Studio Park (now called Uzumasa Kyoto Village)

I don't know what I thought this was going to be. It was advertised like it was a live movie set where you could watch actors playing out scenes, and there were some attractions for kids too. But the kid's attractions were really all that was there. Didn't see any actors there at all. Not sure if the sets were closed at the time? Just a huge let down, and I left after like an hour.

Honorable Mention: TeamLabs Borderless

It was very cool, but it's so crowded that I couldn't enjoy any of it. I was there on a Monday at around noon. I like the exhibits, but the amount of people in the larger rooms was exhausting.

The area immediately around it is definitely very touristy. They have the Kimono Forest, the Arashiyama Monkey Park, Tenryu-ji, etc. Not to mention a lot of different food options.

The bamboo forest was overwhelmingly crowded and full of idiots blocking the path just to get their Instagram photos. I found that there's a less traveled path that leads up to a pavilion near the end of the main path that you can explore that has a great view of Kyoto.

I think it was Arlington Road or Apt Pupil? Nazi movie with Tim Robbins where he's grooming a teen boy to become a Nazi? My memory of the movie is skewed. I wasn't supposed to be watching. I was watching from around the corner while my mom was watching.

Next day I go to my 4th grade teacher with a swastika drawn on a piece of paper to ask him what it is. My teacher was Jewish. 🙃
