    Japan's Lottery System

    Hopefully I can get my hands on one soon..then I'll post a very informal review here. I've been a Sony stan since I was in elementary school so I can definitely assess how the PS5 stacks up. If you're torn between the PS5 and Xbox Series X, I'd recommend the PS5 because Sony typically has...

    Japan's Lottery System

    So I know this was an issue with the switch because some component in it was difficult to come by and was only being manufactured by a few factories. But what's the deal with the ps5? I know its about 15 times bigger than a smart phone, but surely the parts used to make the newest phone are...

    Japan's Lottery System

    Like many people, I didn't get a spot for a PS5 in Amazon's first round of raffles. I'm still waiting to hear back from Yamada, Nojima and all the rest but I'm not optimistic. I'll probably be able to get my hands on one during the holidays once they bulk up stock. But I gotta ask...why Japan...

    Even After X amount of years in Japan I'll never get used to____

    Yeah, it's very odd that most Japanese fashion is quite conservative compared to western countries, but the second you go just a liiiiitle bit alternative it's like wearing nothing but plastic bags over your tits

    PM Abe

    I was perusing a list of his potential successors...most of them seem pretty identical. Which bland, 60+ y/o nationalist will take his place I wonder

    Quarantine Hobbies?

    Ah it's a shame covid ruined all international travel; would've loved to meet a man of keeb culture. I haven't ever tried a filco myself but I've heard very good things about them. Also, excellent choice with the cherry blues. I was using a logicool gaming keyboard with the same switches before...

    Quarantine Hobbies?

    For work do you use clears or browns? And yeah I tried out the ergodash mini and fell in love. If all goes well with that I'll try the lily58 next because I love OLEDs. And to echo what you said as to why: my WPM on a mech is faster as well. The springs in my switches aren't very strong so it...

    Quarantine Hobbies?

    Yeah I binged games for the first 2 weeks then got bored and decided I wanted to create something. Also I love Borderlands; gotta play the new one.

    Quarantine Hobbies?

    How much building do you enjoy? If you just want one you can use right off the bat I'd recommend taking a look at Ducky and Varmillo; their mech keebs are nice and come with great keycap sets. However if you like building I would suggest getting a kit off of KBDFans or KPRepublic. If you're not...

    Quarantine Hobbies?

    Mechanical keyboards! I just finished my first build a few days ago. Not quite end game yet though; I'm going to build a custom coiled cable for it and the keycaps are placeholders for a set I ordered through a group buy. Switches are nice and clicky though

    Quarantine Hobbies?

    Title is pretty self explanatory. I'm curious what sort of activities everyone picked up in lieu of being able to go outside and do more sordid things ;) I know that the state of emergency in Japan has now been lifted and that things are gradually returning to "normal" (as the government...

    The Rising Wasabi Article Pitches

    "Japanese government cancels truth" so true. I enjoy this change of tone though; I'm mad at the lack of what is being done and I think a satirical platform is a good way to highlight the incompetency. I know a lot of gaijin who are burying their heads in the sand, refusing to keep up with the...

    Even After X amount of years in Japan I'll never get used to____

    I have a theory about Japan and its relationship to inconvenient bureaucracy. I think that thousands of years ago the emperor signed a deal with a very powerful god. In exchange for a future filled with orderly train lines and smart toilets, Japan was bound to uphold the most infuriating, time...

    The Rising Wasabi Article Pitches

    A bit related to my post about "things I'll never get used to in Japan." I'm sure all of you have heard of rising wasabi (the onion of Japan), with such famous articles as: https://www.therisingwasabi.com/emperor-naruhito-launches-twitter-account/...

    Safe to visit?

    Not sure if someone already pointed this out already but the school closing is optional. Parents can still send their kids to school and teachers still have to go. I think there are actually way more cases in Japan than has been reported because clinics aren't testing people as much as they...
