Final fantasy. The controls and camera on oot we’e so annoying I quit after about 30 minutes. That’s not to say ff doesn’t have its own issues with camera and such.

WHAT IS THE BEST TYPE OF HUMAN TO DIP IN THIs “KETCHUP” AND WHY IS IT A SINGLE FEMALE HUMAAN LAWER!

Native English, conversational japanese, survival German (I was conversational at one point, but it’s mostly gone), a tiny bit of french (same as German), very basic Spanish, and a tiny bit of Hebrew (I wanted to learn something in the semitic family and it seemed less intimidating than Arabic to start with)

I grew up in a very small Ohio town. I moved to Houston, Texas and met one person from the same town and later one from a town over at a bar.

I quit Facebook/etc. not long after moving to Tokyo. I ran into a guy from Columbus, Ohio that I knew from when I lived there.

I’ve also run into friends of friends randomly in Tokyo.

Now, I love away from Tokyo in the countryside, so I’ll be super surprised if I meet anyone again, but who knows.

Edit: for context, on a business day, there are more than 30 million people plus tourists in the Tokyo metro

I’m supposed to avoid gluten these days, but a banh mi is frequently on my mind

The US and it’s people are often super loud. I say this as one who traveled and now lives in Japan. I didn’t notice right away and had to work hard to lower my normal volume

I used them for word processing stuff in school and it was fine. I was mostly working on Amiga at home at the time, moreso than DOS/Windows.

I’m in my 40s and basically have two jobs on top of housework. If I do play a retro game, I want things like save states since I’m probably playing more for a nostalgia kick than anything else and want to be able to put it down and pick it up (as well as not have to re-do things in games with save points few and far between).

I threw up in one once. I actually don’t recall anything any worse than what it usually was. I actually went further into the evangelical baptist rabbit hole as my family drifted a bit from it, but that would reverse and end with me being an atheist-leaning agnostic.

I do remember Sunday school teachers being angry that I was allowed to have D&D books and games. In a different church when I was in middle or high school, I quoted the movie name “Oh God you Devil” and my buddy whose family took me to church slapped me. That was a good time. /s

Nice! I hadn’t really thought of fennel.

Cucumbers and okra have been our two most successful things so far. Most of my herbs are doing OK as well, I suppose. We’ve hit 35 a couple times this year. The forecast has us mostly in the upper 20s and low 30s for the next few weeks. I just got second planting potatoes in, so we’ll see how that goes. I planted a bunch of daikon radish, it came up nicely, then died a couple of days later. I’m not sure if it’s the intense sun and heat or if I needed to get water to them again sooner. I’ve still got more seeds, so I might try planting them again later in the season.

I live in a rural area in northern Japan.

We just started a few months ago (we were supposed to get the house last year but, due to various factors, we couldn’t take possession and get moved in until just before April). We’re definitely learning a lot about farming and what works for our land and environment but, because of the time we got the house, we’ve been super rushed. I think we’ll do better next year.

My goal is to position myself to deal with a lot of products foreigners living in Japan want and have trouble getting. That’s a lot of peppers, different types of beans, etc.

well, for one, sunscreen! Sunburnt heads suck. Hats as well.

It took some getting used to (I’ve gone through phases of shaving my head and having long hair. Recently, since I work outside in the heat, I hit it with the clippers every few days leaving just < 1mm. You’ll probably just get used to your new style which will help the confidence which helps everything else.

It’s what is collected at the end of some Super Mario World levels.

I’m from the US and moved to Japan in my 30s. I lived in Tokyo up until a few months ago, but now live in rural northern Japan.

… What happens if I want to abolish the death penalty?

Honestly, it’d just go to stuff I need for the house. There’s a lot of canning stuff I want but I need to import it from the US (pressure canning isn’t a thing here in Japan and even water-bath canning is super rare so supplies are sparse and expensive). I’d also get a chainsaw and wood chipper. I would pay someone to do a full tune-up on my tractor and maybe get a mower attachment. Anything else, I’d basically put in the account that I use to pay my mortgage and for any home expenses.

I basically do farming at the level of a second job, so I suppose it would be that even though I don’t do it commercially (yet).

If your equipment is being squished, your surface may not have enough give.

I have a pixel watch I bought around its launch (IIRC) and it’s still going fine today. The only issue I’ve had is, since starting farming, the little dial can gum up a bit, but it can be cleaned.

I’ve been using logitech for years and they’ve all been holding up well for me. The only issue I had was an older trackball mouse design. I owned two and one had some issues but the other lasted almost a decade.
