There is something so charming about the N64/PS1 era. They were so unique in their own right and you could tell at a passing glance which system was displaying on the screen even i…

It's incredible how much it does, how quickly it does it, and how it just works every time. Whether I'm trying to deal with gigs of 4k video, embedding multiple subtitles into an m…

Well I think the key point is that caffeine has a half life of 6 or 7 hours in adults. So 4 coffees before 10am is worse than one coffee at 2pm. That's how I look at it anyway. Reg…

Great write up, thank you. Actually I've been messing around with ARM assembly lately so have been keeping my eyes open for a cheap used GBA. There are a lot of them here, but most…

Very cool. I live in Japan and see NES carts in all the second hand stores that are everywhere here. Very tempting but in the end I know I wouldn't play it. Whenever I go down a "w…

Fukuoka here (about 100km from Kumamoto) and definitely felt it, so it must have been a real big one in Kumamoto itself. My friend was driving home from work closer to Miyazaki and…

these "secret police"-- did they only operate recently?

hah tribes just randomly popped into my head yesterday. it was the only fps that ever really had me hooked for long periods. such a great game

My wife and I live in Japan, and her job is in a very, very rural area, while I am able to work remote. Before I moved into her house, we checked her local internet, it was 11mbps …

yeah it's nothing like it used to be. back in the old days it was like the wild west. nothing was off the table unless it was illegal or grossly against the forum rules. now it's j…

That little bit of personality is what made forums so much fun. The early 2000s somethingawful forums were such a goldmine. I've never laughed so hard in my life at the antics betw…

Japan too. never thought I'd see it here but a taxi driver took the long way after a work drinking party. I guess he thought we were too drunk to notice. Well my boss sure did and …

I bumped mine from 5g daily to 15 and noticed way less anxiety. It's a must have for me now. Besides that is the regular benefit of being able to squeeze out a few more reps during…

I'll never forget my first week working housing demolition in the Japanese countryside a few years ago. We were outside tearing down an old house, when I saw what I thought were ba…

Wonderful breakdown. I love reading this kind of thing. thank you

Since we're a bunch of nerds here, just wanted to throw this out there: cheesemaking is really, really fun. I highly recommend it. I lived five minutes from a dairy farmer in Japan…

You can see many of them go to the middle and eastern side of kyushu. I just lived in Aso for a few years and can't recommend it enough. The takachiho/gokase/beppu areas are jaw-dr…

Reminds me of soda. Why the hell liquid poison is allowed to exist turns my stomach. You could fill libraries with data linking it to a myriad illnesses and causes of death. Yet th…

The climate change alarms have been sounding for decades and yet vehicles keep getting bigger. Even in formerly "doing it right" countries like Japan. Turns out humans will always …

Kettlebells are the perfect middle ground for me. Dynamic movements, easy to incorporate strength gains, very little floor space required and one kettlebell is enough to get starte…

I see. Thank you for the explanation

Huh? I'm running kde plasma on wayland and flameshot runs like a dream come true. I hit the flameshot icon in the tray, it automatically selects the whole screen to save, or if I c…

Wouldn't that be nice. mine are too busy watching pawn stars reruns for the hundredth time

likewise. they are staggeringly beautiful when your mind is in "the zone". It's like a kind of focused meditation with images just flooding the mind
