September 2024

[tepid ocean]

the nice thing with a car is I can get to a lot of these small/random spots fairly easily

versus say if I was taking a bus/train, 15 minutes walking there, 15 minutes walk back, etc

[gray cradle]

ya ya

driving in japan does seem a bit slower though

so scari

[analog pilot]

Was the panoramic ropeway busy or nah? Thinking of visiting that

[gray cradle]

umm i went in the morning around 9 or 10am? and there was a lil bit of a line but it wasn't crazy. but by the time i left there was a long ass line so i would go early if u can

watch out for da weather too if u can to see if the clouds are gonna cover fuji san lol

luckily things worked out for me

yeah i got there at 9:30am

and left around 11am

[analog pilot]

are there any particular websites you checked for Fuji visibility ? October forecast isn't looking great at the moment

[sage sleet]

https://fuji-san.info/en/index.html

[little harness]

Poor visibility next few days, all days i was hoping to see it. Dang.

I went to an anime convention early in the year in canada, and saw the exact same figure, for the exact same price, in akihabara just yesterday

Mind you its kind of obvious such a place would largely be a scam, so i wasnt planning to buy anything, just looking around

[tepid ocean]

what I noticed on my last trip was that unless it was something relatively rare or hard to find, it was almost not worth purchasing it in japan and then having to bring it back home

since the price was almost the same as what you could find back home

[little harness]

Im hoping thats justa tokyo thing. I heard osaka prices are better

[tepid ocean]

it's sad because I had gone to japan for the first time right before covid and I saw so many good deals

I was waiting until I could make a trip back and be better prepared to buy stuff

then covid happened

I didn't have much success in osaka either

for example, some bearbrick figures were going for double or triple of what I could buy it in the US for

[little harness]

Well, that sucks lol

[tepid ocean]

definitely sucks big time

that's why I almost dont want to stay in tokyo anymore, in specific regards to finding good deals on misc things

[little harness]

I've heard second hand stores can still have decent deals, like https://maps.app.goo.gl/zYzPnouVup3V4LD17?g_st=ac . Sadly i was hit hard by jetlag yesterday, so i arrived both to early and to late to check it out lol

[tepid ocean]

I don't remember if I have been to that specific store, but I think my experience basically applies to all of the larger cities, like tokyo, osaka, etc

I am sure are still decent deals to be found

but it's just relative

[small palm]

have you tried nakano broadway? i heard there's better deals on anime figures there

[little harness]

Nope, but i have that place earmarked to check out towards the end of my trip since i heard the same

[sage sleet]

September chances are never great. Too humid = too many clouds

October is 50/50

Summer is the worst time and winter is the best time

[little harness]

Hmm, well better luck next time i guess. Maybe ill get a sick view of clouds froms the ropeway then lol

[shut lintel]

Winter and Fall are wonderful times for onsens due to the weather

Going outside into cold weather to sit in an onsen is peak comfort

[sage sleet]

I'm starving

The only I ate today was a piece of Black Forest cake and a sandwich with some tea

[zealous delta]

prob good not to eat a lot before a flight

i made that mistake lol

[bitter parrot]

Depends on what tbh

For me it's vegetables

They are horrible for me on a flight

[wide token]

What’s a good spot to eat at in shimokitazawa before going over to the live house?

Gonna start getting ready in a few and pretty hungry lol

[rugged dagger]

no into hotel, so maybe around 7 or 7:30 would be good

[tall pine]

Oh I see! Do you have any place in mind that you want to go?

[wicked elm]

I'm going to fly back to Germany today. It was really fun meeting you all! Enjoy the rest of your stay 🙏

[sage sleet]

[shut lintel]

Thanks

[tepid ocean]

Not in Nagoya till next week, but do you have any suggestions on things you've done in the area?

[shut lintel]

Toyota Museum

[tepid ocean]

Should I do the second one before the first one?

[shut lintel]

Toyota Museum takes a bit of time getting to

So I'd do that first and then do the others later since you can head back into the city for those

[twin cairn]

The Planetarium

[tepid ocean]

I meant should I do the second toyota museum or the first toyota museum first. I was just kidding though

I'll be driving, so getting to it actually shouldn't be too time consuming

[wintry basin]

Theres 3 of them btw

I recommend the technical one but its also most information dense lol

If im in Nagoya again ill probably go to the actual collection they have

[misty gazelle]

Anyone in Kyoto at all today

[gleaming lagoon]

Is anyone in Tokyo this weekend? I’m going to Roppongi tonight. And Shibuya on Saturday night. Does anyone have any bar or club recommendations

[sage sleet]

https://www.reddit.com/r/JapanTravel/comments/1e2u25w/a_music_lovers_guide_to_tokyo_nightclubs/

I need to add HVEN to this list

[gleaming lagoon]

Speaking of, does anyone in Osaka want to get food or drinks this evening? Around 9 or 10?

[hoary forge]

Ah, ye I will be going for a full day

[jolly drift]

Do you know if they take credit card at the door? Running low on cash and don’t really want to covert more money if I don’t have to

[vast stag]

you can actually buy a ticket online with a credit card in advance:

https://t.livepocket.jp/e/20240928wwwb

[jolly drift]

Looks like a mobile phone number verification is needed which is tough with a US number :/

[tawdry eagle]

I mean I can help you but it would probably be tied to my name

[sage sleet]

You can use a foreign number on Livepocket

[tawdry eagle]

This guy fucks ^

Why r u awake u crazy bastard

I’m sober but haven’t slept 😭

[quiet holly]

LMAO

some people just dont need sleep

[sage sleet]

I’m in a different time zone

I’ve been out of Japan for nearly 2 weeks

[narrow apex]

Heading to the airport now back to cozy Belgium had a great time! Thx to everyone who did a meetup w/me!

[round mortar]

And tokyo Game show ppl around? Wanna meet up there when it starts? Or like sometime over the course of the two days now

[narrow apex]

Also huge shoutout to @shut lintel , tried almost exclusively the food places from your list and never had a bad experience. ❤️

It's no exaggeration to say you made my trip 🙂

[fleet forum]

I'm on my way right now - main focus is getting the free Sonic x Shadow promo stuff. I'm dressing up as a Sim - should be (relatively) easy to find.

[shut lintel]

Best meal for you?

[tall pine]

Anyone in Osaka who wanna hang out tonight? 🙂

[narrow apex]

As a dish has to be the Noodles wrapped in an omelet for me. The sauce was peak. Im also gna try making Miso soup at home 😄 I always loved that

[shut lintel]

Ooh nice. Semd a picture if you got it.

[narrow apex]

Don't have a picture of it cuz i started a bit late with taking pictures of my food 😆 it was a similar sauce as in this picture:

Has so many good meals tbh, hard to pick one 😆

[tall pine]

It looks so good!!

@shut lintel do you know any places in Osaka to for food and drinks? 😭

[narrow apex]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/Ahq7MjePmHsVPRT47

[shut lintel]

Food yes, drinks no. You can use my list that Lucas just posted.

I am not a good person to ask about drinking spots as I don't drink alcohol.

Tea spots! I'm your man

[tall pine]

Omg 500 I’m gonna go broke soon 😭

[shut lintel]

Its actually like 970, but it just says 500

[tall pine]

Good thing I’ll be here for a while then ☠️

[shut lintel]

If you hit up any spots on my list, tell me. I always like to get feedback.

[tall pine]

Okay! I’ll see if I can go to one tonight, I’ll let you know

[shut lintel]

I'm glad you got your foodie on

[jolly drift]

I went to torikara kitanoya in Osaka and it was some of the best fried chicken ever

[little harness]

Out in hakone and it seems like a barren wasteland for good food value tbh. It usually tastes good or at least decent, but man these prices

Feels like the place became a tourist trap

Also 0 breakfast places for some reason lol

[narrow apex]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/FtCsgPGF7gcuAdGi8

I tried this place in Hakone

I liked it

Prices were good too afaik

[little harness]

Damn, i was right by there yesterday while doing the sightseeing route

Ah well, today is full relax and hot spring (at least 20 minutes walk from main station) day

[shut lintel]

Nice!

[vivid briar]

I’ve been cross-referencing off of this list my entire trip. I think pretty much all of the ones I went to were hits

[midnight matrix]

I'm down to get some food in Osaka tonight!

I've only eaten at universal studios and a 24h chain so far😭

[hybrid bobcat]

On the subject of food if y’all ever make it down to Nagasaki you gotta try a bowl of champon https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champon

I went to this place called Lao Lee and it was bomb https://beliapp.co/gBAu1oYrfNb?&sh=B1Hmj8sIrDb. Top meal of this trip

[heavy zinc]

We are a couple of people meeting up tonight for karaoke in Shibuya at around 9:30 -10:00 and still have room for 2-3 more people if anyone wants to join in :)

[tall pine]

We will be there soon! Are you near the H&M store?

[midnight matrix]

I'm at the station, I'll walk around for a bit

[vast stag]

That was the big fault. The lemon one is delicious. Tastes sorta like sprite (no taste of booze) and with the 9% it’s broken

[fleet forum]

I might have to sit this one out. 😭

[tawdry eagle]

Cmon man it’s shit

We aren’t drinking it for taste

It’s for efficiency

[fleet forum]

I used to be able to slam strong zeroes like they were nothing, now I’m old and the last one I got made me gag. I physically can’t drink them anymore.

[pulsar lion]

I'm almost at H&M!

[tawdry eagle]

They are shit lol but I still keep a 6 in the fridge

[vast stag]

That’s fair to both lol.

[vivid briar]

Competitive-level drinker

[gleaming lagoon]

I’m arriving now, grabbing dinner with another Discord first. Then going drinking

[gleaming lagoon]

[shrewd monolith]

Where's everyone at tonight?

[fleet forum]

Dotonbori people, keep in mind Donki has two sides open to people. You might want to specify river side or other,

Two sides = two entrances

[vast stag]

I might tag along in a bit if yall are still chilling. I’ll be heading over from Shinjuku in a couple minutes

[fleet forum]

Not at all - I’ve been peer pressuring my body to get out of the hotel for the past two hours, but I’m still stuck 😩

[pulsar lion]

Yeah that might help lmfao
I'm in front of the river side entrance of donki rn

[midnight matrix]

Pink shirt should be easy to find lol

[pulsar lion]

I don't see a pink shirt tho lol

[severe gorge]

Red shirt?

Somehow ended up at the wrong hub, but I'll be at that one in 5

[rustic raft]

@topaz cosmos yall got room for 1 more?

[fleet forum]

The seats are full (I'm standing), BUT I think we'll be migrating from here once everybody who said they were coming comes (I THINK)

[heavy zinc]

We are a group of ~10 people going for karaoke in Shibuya at 10:00. still have 3 seats available if anyone wants to join in dm me

[topaz cosmos]

Uhhh sure

Actually lucky we just got another table

[jolly drift]

How much time before the indicated start do people go to live houses? Asking for the wwwb/yuzuha one tonight

[fleet forum]

Could you share the flyer? If the flyer doesn't show doors, I BELIEVE doors will be the posted time - if there are DJs listed, they'll start the show off

[jolly drift]

https://www.ddinstagram.com/p/DADnOJcyzQL/

[fleet forum]

Ah man this one looked good. I believe show starts right at 23:30 with DJs

[jolly drift]

Thanks!

[tough monolith]

You going?

[fleet forum]

Negative, too late for me 😭. But there's a group of us in Shibuya pregaming right now

One of us is half naked soon it's easy to spot

[gleaming lagoon]

Haha

[vivid briar]

Walking over. I’ll be there in 5

[mortal fox]

If any one happens to be walking around in Shibuya, could one of you do me a favor? I forgot to take a picture of this snoopy shoulder bag, it’s on the 2nd floor of an Arcade - I’d just like a picture of it to see the design again (I believe this one https://maps.app.goo.gl/xkprkQxGQuG2Gf6F9?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy) much appreciated if anyone has the time
never mind 😦 I can’t recall which arcade it was

[bitter parrot]

That's at/in Dotonbori, right?

[fleet forum]

Yup, that's the Glico sign!

[white pebble]

To the shibuya group. It was nice serving with you today. Hope Andrew makes it back

Rest in Beats 💪

[bitter parrot]

Oh nice
I only recognised Dotonbori because of the Sign😅

[sage sleet]

One of my absolute absolute fave indie bands Puff is playing at Shimokitazawa Basement Bar (my fave venue) today
https://www.ddinstagram.com/p/C-zV1oES9AF/

Starts at midday

Go check it out. Tickets are cheap too https://t.livepocket.jp/e/chfai-wasakirecords

[fleet forum]

Had a fun night, Shibuya crowd. Hope everybody gets back safely… and can sleep well. 😩

[hot pewter]

I also had great night and got home well :)

[peak tangle]

Yesssss I loved it

[tepid ocean]

Trying to decide if I want to day drink, but all of the cheap gives me headaches 3-6 hours later every time haha

[slender quartz]

Wow, good luck peeps going to TGS as visitors. The queue is already around the corner of the second building 🙃

[winged dome]

Once inside, my recommendation is that if you are going to like, get the stuff the give you (paper, clear files, and marketing stuff), rush to any of the major booths and grab one of the bags the give 😛 dont be like me and do that after 2 hours inside with a lot of paper in hand haha

The Square Enix booth, were giving these ones (I guess they will today too), shoe for scale (9.5US) and the quality is pretty nice

[slender quartz]

Nice haul 😄

I'm there with my team exhibiting in the indie area, so no problems getting in for me 😅. Just saw it from above.

[drowsy iron]

I am doing a day trip to Nikko tomorrow! Let me know if anyone would like to join!

[round mortar]

It went pretty smooth though. I was in by 9:45 today. I arrived 9:00.
They were dealing with the amount of Ppl really good

Which is your Booth? Which hall?

[slender quartz]

End of Hall 9, we're in the SwissGames booth. Ours is called "Henry Halfhead". 09-W11, I think.

[median flax]

Anyone know of any rock/punk shows tonight in OSAKA?

[white pebble]

I'll pay you a visit Henry

[white pebble]

@vivid briar you still alive, was Andrew in safe hands ?

[fleet forum]

He caught an Uber around 4:45.

A bunch of us pulled an all-nighter and waited for first trains

[white pebble]

So today we repeat?

[fleet forum]

Absolutely

[trim orchid]

Can I join in on this?

[fleet forum]

Please do! For the most part, we had a great time just loitering and meeting new people.

We befriended an irl streamer and hung out with him for a little bit

[misty gazelle]

Anyone in Kyoto wanna grab food drink or sumthing, feel free to hmu

[white pebble]

Looking for some specific booth in TGS is like looking for your future ex wife in shibuya

[fleet forum]

Hahahahahahahhahahahahaha

[white pebble]

Give me another tip

Maybe saying that the flag is a big plus isn't a good tip

I found it

[twin cairn]

@misty gazelle gonna shoot ya a msg

[white pebble]

Found the flag

[uneven holly]

@sage sleet any shows in Hiroshima today or the next two days you can suggest

[twin cairn]

Bro why the acomms in Hiroshima are somexpensive? 🥲

[little harness]

When you open the menu section of a micro pig cafe and the photos are just of the pigs 💀

[shut lintel]

LOL what an analogy

[white pebble]

We missed you last night MrT

[uneven holly]

I got mine pretty cheap , like $40-50 usd a day in a hotel

[weak solstice]

The music in warp yesterday was mostly good.
Only some people were a bit annoying because here in Japan the door is not sorting at all

[tawdry eagle]

The door is not sorting?

[solemn canopy]

Yall going for drinks in kyoto later?

[twin cairn]

Yeah, gonna meet up for dinner, prob drinks 🤷🏽‍♂️ you are welcome to join, we just need to decide where

[solemn canopy]

Hmmmm

Okonomiyaki is a good option perhaps

If u guysblike that

Otherwise i'll join after for drinks if you guys are still out 'n about!

[quiet holly]

Whats the plans for drinks tn

[twin cairn]

Any suggestions where we can get both? I mean, which neighborhood? Gion perhaps?

[solemn canopy]

I think so, im clueless when it comes to drinking spots here 😆

But im sure gion would have both

Mightbbe crazy crowded tho thats the only downside

[twin cairn]

Yeah, I think we could meet there then ✌🏽

I'm going to Fushimi Inari to see the rest of the tourists, I'll let u know when I'm omw

[hot pewter]

don't eat don't sleep just do it on repeat

[white pebble]

The party doesn't stop until someone is pregnant

[weak solstice]

Yes they let everyone in but its every club here. In Germany its often difficult to get into the club with a 4 man group for example

[hot pewter]

the party doesn't stop even if someone is pregnant

[tawdry eagle]

Lol I was just confused on your English

[solemn canopy]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/PsZimcX2eS9bxhRx8

@twin cairn

Juice recommended this bar

It looks nice

Jazzy vibes

Its in gion area

[fleet forum]

Pontocho Alley is where a ton of bars are lined up in Kyoto

[little harness]

As someone currently in gion yep, crazy crowded

[solemn canopy]

Yeah D:

[little harness]

Still, i imagine most of them will be gone by the night

[solemn canopy]

Theres an izakaya across the street from my hotel 0 people walking hre 🤣

[tepid ocean]

Anyone been to the hidden family mart bar in tokyo. I think it's in shibuya?

[solemn canopy]

Oof thats really far for me

[little harness]

Is gion the normal meetup spot for kyoto then?

[solemn canopy]

I think so yeah

[fleet forum]

Details??? That might be fun to check out tonight

[solemn canopy]

@misty gazelle you me and cfilho will go to Gion then later? Or did you have a different place in mind?

[fleet forum]

A few of us are semi-planning to pull an all-nighter in Shibuya or Shinjuku tonight, so this could be a fun stop along the way

[fleet forum]

If you guys are meeting in Gion, Pontocho alley is only a ~10 min walk west. I have a gut feeling you guys will end up over there haha

[solemn canopy]

If that little jazzy bars packed we might lmao xD

[tepid ocean]

I saw it on instagram. I have to try and find it again. I was hoping somebody on here would know more details on it, haha.

What time did you guys meet up at roughly last night?

[fleet forum]

Around 8-ish. Tonight, a few of us are gonna get dinner, then probably make our way to Shibuya or stay in Shinjuku, not 100% sure

[twin cairn]

A jazzy bar is a very compelling idea!

[shut lintel]

lol I'm not even on your island!

[white pebble]

We know. That's why we missed you

[misty gazelle]

Yes , is between 7-8 okay

[solemn canopy]

Yeah that works for me, i think i will have dinner alone though in my nearby area because im getting hungry already so maybe we can meet 8 for drinks then? If you guys want to eat some first around that time thats fine too i will just ckme a little later

[drowsy iron]

What’s the dinner place? Do they have vegetarian?

[tough monolith]

I am so damn swagged out, I have no idea how I'm getting home with all of this stuff... Lmao

[drowsy iron]

I am interested in staying for dinner but then will head back. Yesterday was fun!

[tough monolith]

I can vouch for this guy. Haha. What's everyone up to tonight in Tokyo?

[tough monolith]

Didnt even know you were going today! Would have said hey.
But there's way too much going on all the time to check the phone while in there. Lol

[tough monolith]

Gion is definitely a spot. Basically anything north of the JR line but go too north and it is deeeeeeaaaadddd. When to this unreal okonomiyaki spot in north Kyoto and he makes betayaki in front of you. There's like no one in there except one of his friends. You walk back to your hotel and the streets are straight barren.

Long story short, yeah, Gion is a nice meeting spot

Big question to anyone. I have way more stuff than I was expecting. Anyone know a spot to buy a cheap ass duffel bag/luggage? Aside from Ginza Karen?

[fleet forum]

Donki

[tough monolith]

Is it kind of a cream and tan color combo?

[mortal fox]

I believe so!!

Also I got reminded which location it was and the initial message has the correct arcade

[tough monolith]

It just might be the same one I got out of a claw machine but it went back home with someone. Lol. I'll be home in a couple days and I can grab a picture

[mortal fox]

I was planning on going back tonight. The gambler in me desires it

[tough monolith]

Ahhhhhh, haha. I see! Don't spend too much. Also! If it's the same one, it's very much a knock off. Look for the front "patch" and see if is spelled "Charley Brown"
Not a clue if that's another Japanese spelling but it smells kind of fishy. Awesome looking bag still though

[mortal fox]

:< I couldn’t seem to find it online but I also forgot to take a picture

[tough monolith]

This. 100%. Back when I won it, I couldn't find it anywhere either

[mortal fox]

T_T I’m not sure whether or not to be disappointed lol

I thought it was a super cute bag

[mortal fox]

Also how did you win it 👀 I may have given it too many tries and failed

[tough monolith]

It's def not official, let's put it that way. Knockoff, bootleg, call it the nicest word possible but if you like it then go for it! Had I not seen the misspelling on mine, I wouldn't have regretted it at all. But I still don't. I really love the bag.
And if your one is the same, it's kind of like a food bag, something you would bring on a picnic. Could double as a cold bag as well I imagine.

[tough monolith]

They are designed with maximum weakness. I believe I asked for the attendants help

[mortal fox]

Damn I was thinking I would have to. I wish I did it yesterday so they could’ve witnessed my desperation lol. My friend had to take me away

He said we both have a problem and we gotta stop (he tried to help but failed)

[trim orchid]

There's a cash out limit depending on how much money you put in so the claw strength increases gradually

I usually wait until someone has burned through all their cash on a machine and then take it off their hands

[mortal fox]

I don’t think we put enough in. Maybeee 1500?

[trim orchid]

It's 1,500 for the smaller prizes from my experience

The bigger ones are at least 3,000

So worth more than the product at that point

[mortal fox]

Ah okay good to know

I got lucky yesterday and got the baby hamster cuz it hit the cash limit

[solemn canopy]

There's a huge freakin line for the restaurant I just walked 30 minutes to ☠️☠️ so idk how long it'll take but i might have to dip the plans if this takes forever @misty gazelle @twin cairn

[winged dome]

I got some stuff, and bought a shirt and a coin purse since the mugs where sold out , but just in marketing stuff you could go back to the hotel with almost a kilo of it haha

[tough monolith]

I'm so sad it ends so easily. Lmao. I could have been in there for another 5 hours at least. It just kept going and going and going. That venue is damn impressive.

Early*

[winged dome]

yeah, to me it was very little time, I went into the venue at 12. so 5 hours feels so little to really enjoy everything

I did try 2 demos, Titan Quest II and Hunter x Hunter fighting game, but after that the lines were like 60+ minutes, so no effing way im wasting that if the game really does not interest me or the demos are out already in steam

[tough monolith]

Oooof, before I even came here, I looked at reviews of places and it was a constant thing they talked about, if the attendants help you if you are barreling in the 100 yen coins and come out empty handed. If they don't, they review horribly.

Take a good look at your locations Google maps review and see what they say. If they like the attendants, don't hesitate to ask for help. (But, your previous attempt the other day is reset in good will now, you'll have to put in a bunch more before help arrives 😂)

[mortal fox]

:[ thank you but also ihy for giving me a reality check

Lol

[tough monolith]

Was there still a gargantuan lineup at that time?
I should have been earlier but I didn't want to get my ass out of the bed (plus it was over an hour travel time)
But I got in around 10:20, so not too bad. It was hilarious, after I waited in line, and we had to snake around several buildings, when I first got inside, I was in awe of the whole thing. I totally didn't expect it yet, like I had a few more corners I had to take.

[fleet forum]

I got an RC Mario Kart in Dotonbori. The attendant saw me play a few times and made it stupid easy for me to get it. I got it cheaper than what it costs in the stores

[winged dome]

yes it was the same, i got almost the same time as you, but went into the venue at 12... at least I got a beforehand experience with more scorching heat at comiket 😛

[tough monolith]

You said you were a gambler, so I'm here with a liter of ice water to toss on you if you need help, lmao. Just know your limits. They know how to set these up so that it looks like you are just onnnnnneee coin away from winning. It's like the gamblers saying goes (and I'm likely going to absolutely brutalize this), "You're only one more bet away from becoming a millionaire".. This is usually said after you've lost everything already. Lmao

[twin cairn]

We also went to a restaurant with a line and left to get some beers at 711 and pick another one 🤷🏽‍♂️

[fleet forum]

There’s a food hall in the huge Edion if you’re finding long waits at the restaurant.

[tough monolith]

Damn, did you even have to ask for help, or did they just set it up on their own?

[fleet forum]

She did it for me - I don’t even like Mario 😩

[solemn canopy]

I have to try this food tho its on my list

🤣

[fleet forum]

It’s more of a toy for my cat tbh

[solemn canopy]

Its important to me hahaha im sorry

[fleet forum]

Ooo which restaurant is it?

[mortal fox]

I’m not actually 😛 I know I was getting teased by the machine with fake movements but damn I thought the bag is really cute

[tough monolith]

I lucked out both days on Mt Fuji (no rain) and today we all here lucked out again at TGS , there was a nice overcast today and it wasn't hot at all out. It was beautiful

[solemn canopy]

Yamamoto Mambo! To try out kyoto style okonomiyaki, run by a little family

I want to try as many different versioms of it, one of my fav food

[tough monolith]

Did anyone go to the 9-11 hall at TGS? I didn't even know how to get there and still had way too much to do in the main hall. My FOMO demands some answers (sugarcoat it for me though, Plz, if it was super awesome in there)

[vivid briar]

I was hoping you’d say ichiran 😆

[solemn canopy]

Fuck no xD

🤣🤣🤣 thatd be evil of me

[fleet forum]

Yeah, that’s where the main merch booths are for the various companies

[winged dome]

All the Indies were there, pretty cool stuff, didnt test any. Mostly were mini stands with games of each country that were participating each one had a laptop for the game and thats it.
In the 10-11 I think it was mostly the merchandising stands for the companies that were in the 1-8 halls. I must say that even IKEA was there with the gaming setups haha

[tough monolith]

You HAVE to go to Chitose in Kyoto if you want a great suggestion

I did it when I reached the North end of the philosophers path, it's not a terrible distance away

Tiny little place, looks like it's run by an older husband and wife team. Betayaki, unreal, so good.

[tough monolith]

Ahh, okay. Was there lots of good stuff? Anything that stood out?

[fleet forum]

Hell yeah, the Sonic coaster I was telling you about, Squenix had a ton of shit (but it’s all available online), Kojima had a booth I completely missed

My main focus was Sonic tbh

[tough monolith]

Man, I played a game where you are in... I believe it was the Korean war and the whole basis of the game is you just stepped a on a live field mine and have to defuse it. It was fucking unreal. Hold down "S" on the keyboard AND a foot pedal and don't release either, this is while you have to go through step by step defusing it and pressing multiple keys to use like 8 different tools. You have to bandage your bleeding, use a flashlight to do any of the defusing actions (first digging out the ground around the mine, cutting springs, pushing a pen into a slot). You can't have the flashlight in long or wild boars will come and kill you though. It was unreal. Just insane. So cool and so much thought put into it for an indie like game

[solemn canopy]

Oooh nice! I will def check it out another day to compare them 🙏🤩

[tough monolith]

Yeah, sorry man, on my first pass, I completely missed the Sega booth and as I went back, they had a live show, pirate stuff or something, and I couldn't find the coasters.

[fleet forum]

It’s fine, the coaster was in their merch booth in Hall 10 anyways

afaik, all of the merch being sold was in 10-11 except for the official TGS stuff

[tough monolith]

@fleet forum @vivid briar @white pebble what we all up to tonight, boys? It's the final night for me

[fleet forum]

I have dinner plans

[tough monolith]

Sweet. I'm having dinner right now as well. Anything for after on? Hitting the Hub? Haha

[fleet forum]

I dunno, maybe if you copped that coaster, I might have had an idea

😏😏😏

[white pebble]

I'm just helping a friend in asakusa

So I'll be a bit later

I'll meet you at the hub

[fleet forum]

But fr, tbd on what’s going on tonight. I think we’re staying in shinjuku

[vivid briar]

Omoiode Yokocho is always a good time

But I dunno if it holds a candle to Shibuya FamilyMart

[tough monolith]

Ahhhhhh, I see the type of relationship we have. 😂 Brutal!

[hot pewter]

rough competition

[tough monolith]

I'm down for where ever. Just hoping that these aren't smoking venues, lol. That was like insta-headache last night

@trim orchid you coming out tonight, bud?

[trim orchid]

Yep

Just in Akihabara rn looking at cameras

I'll be in Shinjuku in a bit

[tough monolith]

Bic Camera?

[trim orchid]

2nd Base

Looking at used cameras

[vivid briar]

If the plan is still Coco, the Omoiode Yokocho location works for me. Not just because there are more bars per square foot than people there

[tough monolith]

I had one for you last week, amiright? 😂

[tough monolith]

Okay. We all planning on staying til the morning train?

Damn, my hotel is only a 1h walk to Akasaka from Shinjuku. That really isn't terrible tbh.

[tough monolith]

If we want to migrate to golden Gai later on or earlier, I'd love that as well. I didn't see either in the very short time I was in Shinjuku

[fleet forum]

Check IG

[mortal fox]

Could I join you guys later if you’re out?

[tough monolith]

Absolutely.

[misty gazelle]

Didnt even notice till after i had gotten back

[mortal fox]

@tough monolith he swapped out the item for me (was curious George) and I got it on 100 yen!

Totally worth coming back haha

[burnt ferry]

Is someone going kyoto tomorrow morning?

[tough monolith]

That's the one! Look at the patch in the bottom tho! Haha

[mortal fox]

I know I saw haha but it was worth it for me, I like the design

[solemn canopy]

Yeah i hope theyre gone when im in tokyo around november

But its probs still gonna be hot by that time lol

[mortal fox]

Will prob stop by in like 45ish

[twin cairn]

I'll still be here. Going to the bamboo forest in the morning

[tough monolith]

Nice! Gimme heads up when you're coming by. I'm going to dip to the donki quick and come back

[hoary forge]

Anyone in Shibuya tonight?

[fleet forum]

Four of us are down to clown in Shinjuku. We're just walking around right meow

Definitely down to get into some trouble

[tough monolith]

You guys want company or..?

Absolutely - we're just getting a quick drink in Golden Gai, but then we'll be exploring. No set plans

[burnt ferry]

[white pebble]

[alpine zinc]

Alxndr where are you? I'm near shinjuku

[white pebble]

im thinking of heading towards wherever @fleet forum and maybe others are..

we had some funky vibes yesterday, so feel free to join, just need to know whats the spot

[alpine zinc]

Heading to golden Gia?

[white pebble]

im 10 min away from there, let me just see if anyone else replies about a definite spot

getting lost in golden gai is easy

[fleet forum]

Definitely. We're at a bar called Blue Dragon in golden Gai, but we're probably gonna leave here to find somewhere else probably closer to Kabukicho tower

[white pebble]

ok

any good spot as reference

kabukicho tower has many ins and outs

@alpine zinc you heard that?

[fleet forum]

Most likely the square itself in front of the tower (near Warp entrance).

[alpine zinc]

Heading there just hopping on train

[alpine zinc]

Anyone near square?

[fleet forum]

Yes we are - group of 5

Where you at? We're headed to the Torikizoku near the square

[white pebble]

Where are you @alpine zinc

Torikozoku. 6th floor

[misty gazelle]

@surreal dirge We left now

[surreal dirge]

[vocal crest]

Anyone still in shinjuku?

[fleet forum]

Six of us are at Torikizoku, but our table/area is full. If we move from here, we can let you know

[vocal crest]

Till the first train?

[fleet forum]

That's the general plan, but a couple of us have hotels nearby, so we might dip in a couple hours

Basically, we don't have set plans right now

[vocal crest]

I’m in Shibuya so deciding between hotel or Shinjuku

@fleet forum

[fleet forum]

We are going to check out Warp in Shinjuku

[misty gazelle]

@solemn canopy dang it

[vocal crest]

I took the train to the wrong side so I might or might not get there lol

[white pebble]

@fleet forum mate you still around

We are at the hip hop stage with the guy who's giving a tribute to Diddy

[fleet forum]

[drowsy iron]

Got it! Let me know if you are heading out with the group again!

[white pebble]

some of the group has taken a flight back after last night

i mean, some had to get out of the country after stealing that guinea pig

[twin cairn]

After 4pm it's less packed and if you guys go all the way to the top, there are less tourists

If you have sensitive skin take a mosquito repellent

[twin cairn]

I bought a joint in one of these and it was so bad, so fucking artificial I had 2 puffs and couldnt smoke any longer 🤢

[mint urchin]

Yea I tried a vape here before and it wasn’t great, not looked since, if they had actual buds that tasted ok I might check!

[narrow tartan]

Thanks yall! CCJ had thcH last year and as a med patient in my country i was surprised at how well it worked for me. I bought a vape and it was great! Just having trouble getting my stomach to be easy this time so im kinda feinin for somethin. I was reading about getting something called (CRG) and that its pretty decent, so i may still try it or whatever strong cbd they have🤷🏽‍♀️

[narrow tartan]

Me— okeyy but like howw artificial 🤣? Desperate times call for pushing your luck.

[twin cairn]

Hahaha I'm stoner and I just couldn't finish it
