Anyone else impatiently waiting for the Oblivion remake to drop?

@tokyo_0 Yeah, the language barrier makes things even more difficult. I can communicate enough to make friends only if they have the patience for my broken Japanese. 😂 I need to find some kind of club or something...

@tokyo_0 Yeah, that's very true. It's always been hard for me to maintain friendships, but now I don't even work with people to make coworker friends. There's like no other avenues for making adult friends. 😔 I'm grateful for my online friends, though.

I really miss having friends in my city. 😔

@Haikyoneko It was supposedly only a 1 here in Nagoya! I think it depends a lot on the exact location and building, cause it felt more like a 3 to me.

@Haikyoneko I did not like it either. Had that feeling at the beginning like it could get stronger but thankfully it didn't.

@chase Worth it, honestly.

I usually get this box for a slightly more reasonable price, but it's currently sold out. :(

@tokyo_0 Thanks! Thankfully I still have a few of them left.

@tokyo_0 Oh, I love those ones too! I always wear them when I have to wear over the ear masks, like at the hair salon. I hope they're not being discontinued.

@tokyo_0 I haven't noticed it, but that makes sense. It's unfortunate anyways.

If you're looking for a new mask, I recently started wear these and was shocked by how comfortable they are:

@tokyobybike @piepants I have the original Steam Deck, which is great, but prefer the Asus Ally. It's a little more expensive but runs windows and has higher performance.

Although it's the cheapest model and currently sold out on the official store.

@tokyobybike Yeeep. I get paid in yen. I'm not paying 7万. Especially not when I already have a handheld pc that can play almost anything from steam in any language available.
A steam deck is 1万 cheaper!!

The Switch 2 was going to be a day 1 purchase for me but not anymore with this bs region locking.
I get that they're doing it because of the exchange rate and scalping, but come on! Almost doubling the price for all the foreigners living in Japan who'd rather game in their native language is ridiculous.

@sheepchase Or Nagoya. It looks thick out there. :/

@KuramaSuben I had the same thoughts when I was playing every day 😂

@x5josh5x very nice! 👏

👏👏👏

@pippa I'm trying to reverse jinx it 🤞

So the year appears to be ending how it started.
Fiery plane crashes...Now where's our natural disaster?
