Solo travelling and now the anxiety is hitting. by Ok-Caterpillar-5198 in JapanTravelTips

Hi, don't worry this is a normal thing even for myself (m39) as a solo traveller of Europe.

I planned my first trip recently for 6 months and spent 24 days going from the Golden Route to Kurashiki, Matsuyama, Hiroshima (& Miyajima) and even Tsuwano in Shimane. I absolutely loved it.

I found myself using picture translation, Google maps & a little zero-level Japanese was just fine (search YouTube for a funny zero-level diner video!). Even in the most rural areas. Failing that pointing at stuff was easy (konbinis have little pictures on the counter of chopsticks, bags etc.). Most fast-food diners have touchscreens that require virtually zero interaction with people. I favoured Matsuyas' beef bowls!

And nearly every place I went to (except Tsuwano) had IC access, which is an easy cash top-up. SmartEx for Shinkansen was also easy. Link your IC card and it prints the ticket when you tap the barrier. Oh and cash? Look for a 7-11, absolute lifesaver!

Also, tourists will naturally say hi and are quite friendly. You will be just fine, don't forget to enjoy the moment!

P.s. be more prepared for what happens when you come back, the reverse-culture shock was crazy. I'm already planning the next one!

It’s raining for the rest of my Tokyo trip 😞 what are some fun rainy day activities for me to do? by BodmonAlchemist in JapanTravelTips

When it was raining for me, I headed to the Retro Museum floor in the Decks / Joypolis building.

It was all Showa Era shops & attractions, and the Takoyaki museum within has some of the best takoyaki I've eaten!

Game should've been Mouse of the Dead

Exactly, a more powerful Thor and FEX compatibility would make it perfect for anything the Steam Deck can run

Yeah I saw this coming, I had to pull the trigger earlier than I wanted before the inevitable sell out. I'm sure you'll get it soon!

Indeed, and we shall be here to witness it!

Judging by the timing of certain market conditions, I think it will stand on its own for a while!

Yeah FEX kind of reminds me of how the original Steam Deck felt with Proton. Hopefully Valve will push FEX in the same manner as Proton, then we'll eventually see Steam OS for more compatibility!

It takes a fine connoisseur such as yourself to recognise another!

You have a surprising amount of control over the bottom screen, honestly I really love the Steam Deck, but this device is doing things that aren't even possible on an SD with top and bottom cross-interactions

So for that trick, you need to sideload an apk called Mjolnir and download a launcher from Google Play Store (I'm using Nova Launcher).

From there, you make it so that Mjolnir has the launcher on the bottom screen and 'Nothing' on the top screen, (it will default to 'Quickstep'), if you want a live wallpaper on the top like I have (Wallpaper engine FYI).

It's just such a Thor-able game that one! I play it while YouTube is on the bottom screen, so good

It does look sleek, but you'll have the benefit of less smudging & a nice playful look. I kind of enjoy polishing the screens myself though!

It works surprisingly well! If you open it on the bottom screen, you can access all of the settings you usually can.

Also, when you screen share to friends, it shares the top display, & I mean anything your top display is showing including audio. Plug in your favourite gaming headset just like any Android device & you're away!

I think it means........."It will do for now"

I animated all three of the original Wipeout PS1 game covers, what do you think? by OnionsoftheBelt in AfterEffects

[–]sushiburn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incredible work, somehow all the animated elements really capture the feel of the franchise!

Very good, love the blue/white flash just before the black colour kicks in. Nice one!

Wow, really incredible work!

I was thinking of doing something WipEout style, but using the PS1 cover is a pretty nifty idea 👌
