It looks like the AWS outage is pretty widespread, it hit parts of Tokyo, too.

I know that it’s technically illegal, but I wish I had a spare copy of the Circle of Magic series by Debra Doyle and James D. Macdonald, so I could scan them in for posterity.

It’s a series that I love to this day, and hate the idea that they’re no longer really available for purchase anywhere.

Heading off to prep our booth at Tokyo Game Show!

If you’re going to be there, I hope that you can stop by! (Hall 11, E02, the indies area)

Hope to see you there!

Hi folks!

Tomorrow's stream will be at 10AM JST (9PM EDT/6PM PDT)!

I'll be continuing my playthrough of Hollow Knight: Silksong, and this time, the Pocky Pain Wheel will be active for $5US a spin!

I hope that you'll come by and watch!

I HOPE THEY ARE NOT LYING/WRONG ABOUT THIS.

I would swear I bought stuff before this, but for the life of me, I can't remember. XD

Do you know which Hololive EN members these are?

Thank you~

I was off, it’s 800 yen for this one (Monster Hunter), but I’ve heard of others.

So I finally got to try Pot Noodle (UK instant noodle), thanks to a friend visiting from Europe.

It’s okay. The flavor (this was “Beef & Tomato”) was kind of bland, but I also tend to like really strong flavors/spice.

I have one more to try (“Bombay Bad Boy”), but so far, I think it’s not bad.

A great big thank you to @zuramaru.net for a wonderful reminder of home. ^^

So, I looked up the game/software to see if anyone else had it... and Surugaya has it for a different price, for the same listing. o.o

Tae Kwon V looks similar to Mazinger Z, to be sure.

TKV has never seen an English translation, what little clips I've seen were neat.

I haven’t really drawn anything in a long, long time. But this is for you. ^^

Hey @sam-animeherald.bsky.social , have you seen these before?

Just spotted them in Akihabara, they seem to be a collection of old articles and interviews.

I don't know if the Multi-Language System will be available in physical stores in Japan or not, but the website says that it can ONLY be ordered on the My Nintendo store.

Super Robot Wars fans, one thing to note that wasn't in the JP trailer but should be in the EN trailer:

This should mean an actual US and Canada release, unlike all of the previous games.
