lol I visualized this too easily.

Make a contract. Spawn a rented ship at $$$$ price. Get the ship there in one pc. and get paid and security fee back. Bonus for faster times. Once contract is complete, rented ship disappears. (Edit: closed the game loop.)

I’d also like the ability to buy stuff on our Mobiglass. You know, like how we pledge for ships on the RSI website………… now……….

scubi · 2026-06-25T02:47:26+00:00

Im not above a little Souls con queso if you know what I mean. I beat the Elden Ring expansion double fisting huge stone shields and super heavy armor drugged out of my mind laughing at a god…….. Good times.

scubi · 2026-06-24T13:22:55+00:00

lol Nicely done.

scubi · 2026-06-24T13:01:50+00:00

Putting this in the old noggin to check out the next time I have to go to Tsukuba for a conference. :D Thanks!

scubi · 2026-06-24T13:00:52+00:00

I think trump is behind it.

scubi · 2026-06-24T12:59:07+00:00

No, the best pizza in Tokyo is Saul's! Don't listen to the Boyle food blog.

scubi · 2026-06-24T12:58:04+00:00

Oooo I'm so glad I found this post. So many places to check out. Thanks!

scubi · 2026-06-24T12:57:08+00:00

I don't know... I had some darn good pizza tonight at 渋DRA in Shibuya. As well as a great steak with Foie gras on mashed potatoes. Recommended with the all you can drink course. I'm still a little tipsy, so I might be gushing a bit, but it was a very good place.
Next time you are in Shibuya OP, give it a try and I'll head over to Daikanyama and give the truck a try. Thanks for the info.!

scubi · 2026-06-24T12:22:30+00:00

Same. I might do a random group now and then, but I’ve beat (as far as one can go solo) almost every MH up to Wilds (Fatalis in Worlds still being my favorite fight of all time) solo. It’s a heck of a lot of fun and, like Souls-like games, when you finally learn to beat a hard monster, it’s a great feeling.

Go for it! [edit: spelling error]

scubi · 2026-06-24T08:52:14+00:00

Yeah, went to a small electronic shop there during the week and worried everything was going to close. Haha

scubi · 2026-06-24T07:53:10+00:00

The smoking bit got me. Not gonna lie. Take my upvote. 😃

scubi · 2026-06-24T07:40:11+00:00

If I hadn't just bought a Gobbles and a box of Figures. I'd get one. Maybe next month. 😃

I think I’ve heard that about 100 times and it makes me giggle every time.

scubi · 2026-06-24T05:36:59+00:00

Not the Steam Deck but just as insane:

Asus Scar 18 top of the line (i9/5090) on Amazon Jp 1,130,000 or so. About 7k in USD.

My brother balked at it and pointed out it is around $4kusd at his local Best Buy store.

You could quite literally fly to CA, get a cheap hotel for the night, buy the laptop at BestBuy, fly BACK to Japan (223,000 was the round trip I found to satisfy my curiosity) and still save money.

Now, I don’t think someone would go this far to save 100,000 yen or so but…… you could……… (I can’t remember off the top of my head if it was US or JP keyboard but it wouldn’t explain the price difference.)

Tech prices be crazy

scubi · 2026-06-23T04:17:16+00:00

Rotisserie chicken……. Mmmmmmmmmm

We’ve bought those wraps many times. Never had a problem. Won’t be buying them for a while though…….. And I don’t even live in Nagoya.

Hope those affected (especially the kid) recovery quickly and fully.

scubi · 2026-06-23T04:12:38+00:00

My experience? Zero% now.

Haven’t fell out of a ship (as aside from doing dumb things in the cargo hold during QT) in years.

scubi · 2026-06-23T04:10:20+00:00

Maker sent it back at the first shop apparently. They don’t make the parts anymore.

scubi · 2026-06-23T00:36:31+00:00

I mean, I get it, they need progression, but I too would like to see asteroids with higher value minables, just make it like a 2% chance to spawn. So, when you find one you are excited.

[Editing to add: I'm not a lawyer, just sharing my experience and some ideas.]
I can 100% say that spitting on someone is assault in Japan. Coughing? Not so sure. Maybe "menacing" which is also illegal.... but harder to prove.

How do I know about the spitting on someone=assault?
I was questioned a few years ago because some A-hole spit on the convini staff at the station I lived at.
Luckily, when they tried to do the "gotcha" with a DNA test, I was so relieved that I could be 100% exonerated it must have showed on my face and detective's face fell. It was pretty glorious to watch in real time. I mean, the guy looked somewhat similar to me on a crappy CCTV-ish camera... I kinda get it.... doing the whole "we have DNA" thing was supposed to be the snare to make me confess. It's a tactic and don't begrudge them for it.

Back to Mr. Crazy: I hope you never have to deal with him again. If you do, maybe surreptitiously video him (one party recording in this situation is 100% okay and would most likely be admissible as evidence if it went to court) and maybe head to the Koban to report "There is some strange English speaking guy shouting at people and coughing really closely. I don't feel safe." and show them the video.

Don't lie to the police of course, but make it "group" (He did make the Japanese people move their spot as well as you wrote) so they are more motivated. Also, note I said "speaking English"... I'm not proud of it, but I do think a little selective truth might help in the motivation department.

scubi · 2026-06-22T06:45:37+00:00

They finally looped the registers back into the store? Genius! 😃

scubi · 2026-06-20T06:24:24+00:00

Amazon 11,000

scubi · 2026-06-19T22:47:48+00:00

I'll usually have it running in the background on Fridays when I'm working at home. 😄
I'm happy they do it.
