TJPW was great. Not much to say. Here's Harajuku Pomu pretending to be the corner.

Actually got to experience a proper VRC オフ会

Great food. Even better people. Between this and my first time seeing wrestling livenwith that great TJPW show, today was the best day of the trip so far.

I got a paper streamer to throw for like, every match on the card

My seat is so close to the ring I can almost touch it from without standing up.

I was today years old when I realized Kourakuen Hall and Tokyo Dome are right next to each other.

Also this guy plays into side content that I think he 3DS version hugely took away from. It related to he giant monsters on the world map.

3DS made all encounters normally visible on the map, so the big monters aren't really a special sight anymore.

3DS version kinda just sucks in general.

I think the JP version had no voice acting. BGM was lower quality too.

How's the journey so far?

Aboveup @aboveup.bsky.social · 1d

I've spent hours in trains here and not heard a single phone noise of any kind. Bliss.

Haven't seen it once in Japan. Making it the first escape from this horrifically selfish behavior since the pandemic ended.

Back home, it's a constant background noise at this point.

Is your bookstore really complete if it doesn't have a dedicated One Piece/Kingdom section?

OH MY GOD

I think this is also why especially younger people get annoyed when they ask me study advice like I'll have some deep secret shortcut hack like a short video. There is none. I did the hard work, ignoring shortsighted influencer advice and tricks.

Aboveup @aboveup.bsky.social · 2d

It feels like advice, but they're really just stripping you clean of your sense of value and ability. Horrid kind of content.

Touristy stuff is doable so long as you arrive by 9am. Any later and the absolute lowest class of tourists in human history will make you regret going.

I hope the yen skyrockets in value so they leave forever.

Saw the Unicorn Gundam. It's wild to actually see how big thry are in person.

They're so clearly trying to create dependancy from the audience while destroying any potential growth that might have been possible.

Genuinely toxic behavior on there.

It's like this with all topics, but I get language learning content where the creators try to show how complex and impossible the language is. And they're so nice for explaining how it works. In negative wording of course. "NEVER, EVER SAY THIS!" "DON'T USE THIS WORD!"

And it's all wrong info.
