Software engineer and farmer living in rural Japan
Heh, I honestly can’t remember the last ad for a game I saw. Maybe on japanese TV since I don’t get ads on YouTube where I spend most of my watching time. I’ll keep an eye out for it, though; that does make sense.
/ As I type this, I realize I’ve seen several war thunder sponsored segments in videos, but I just ignore or mute.
I enjoy watching some people play games. I cannot watch them play RPGs or similar with choices nor puzzles. Even if their puzzle solution is right in the end and mine is not, I still just get frustrated by the experience.
Japan set the allowed alcohol limit to basically zero sometime in the '90s so drinking anything and driving here can see you lose your license and spend time in Jail… as it should be IMO.
Maintenance is done at night and, when that’s not happening, they run freight trains. In Tokyo, last train used to be like 1:30ish on some lines and started up again a bit before 5am. Now it’s more like a bit after midnight and starting again closer to 5am. JR is a private company (a group of them, actually) and they keep squeezing things further, presumably for more profit.
They did start a bus line between nightlife areas a few years ago, but it never got popular and was closed (and also just took drunk people around from one party area to the next and not home).
Bars here in Japan are often open until first train in the big cities (~5am) with some going later. I don’t necessarily see anything wrong with that in itself (especially for late shift folks who want to enjoy the same after-work experiences as day shift folks).
That said, fuck this guy for many other reasons.
Prepositions still causing havok 70ish years later (and I’m struggling in the opposite direction learning Norwegian now)
Japanese can only end in ‘a’, ‘i’, ‘u’, ‘e’, ‘o’, or ‘n’. Rhyming in Japanese is boring because it has so few possible endings that tons of stuff rhymes. Haiku, tanka, and other forms exist with syllable*, rhythm, and even thematic rules instead.
IIRC, Anglo-Saxon poetry before the Norman conquest also wasn’t into rhyming.
* it’s technically not syllables but close enough for this usage.

It only bothered me because I saw that it was a school assignment and I thought it would be to a higher standard. In casual speech, I don’t really care unless the meaning is unclear.
Shouldn’t it be ‘after having been together’?
What is ‘at the same time’ referring to in that sentence? They wanted to break up at the same time (as in both had the idea)? They wanted to break up at the same time on the clock to continue the theme of things being same-y?
The boy is due north of what? The place? The girl? Also, the girl should be wondering about her decision, I think.
(I don’t even speak English every day anymore, so I could be wrong).
I used to walk by that building quite a bit. Place creeps me out (not for any supernatural reasons).
Who steals a porch? Seriously, the nerve!
Worse is a comparative and worst is the superlative. So, without something to compare to, using the comparative is a bit odd (though, at least for this phrase, I think anyone would understand what was meant).
I got into D&D in the late '80s. My super-christian grandma even tried to play. My dad’s church thought I was going straight to hell, though.
