“Already 27°C…”

Buckle up, buttercup.

I’ve complained about heat quite a lot over the last year. Somewhat prepared by buying a new array of lighter clothes. Envious of the old guys I see comfortably wearing sharp three piece suits, as I’m in a t shirt looking like I stepped out of a sauna.

An aside. Rare times I’m around either Mikado arcade, I like to see what new stuff they added. One of them added Silent Scope Bone Eater. I had a vague recollection of reading about it ten years ago. It’s by tri ace of all developers. Kind of strange. More cinematic and rail shooter than the older Silent Scopes. The main screen is so zoomed out you can’t no scope. And I kept wanting to because the cabinet is so low to the ground you have to hunch over to aim. The other Silent Scopes and Golgo 13 are playable standing. Still, silent scope is really fun.

For better or worse I’m going to be in Tokyo for a couple years. Thankfully a quiet area, to the confusion of everybody I’ve talked to. On occasion I need to go to Shibuya for work stuff during the week, which to be blunt, makes me want to die. Otherwise a nice setup. Peaceful.

Really need to focus in on learning the language properly. Had a moment where I wanted to buy carrots and didn’t know the word. Then I remembered the Ninjin Loves You Yeah jingle from Macross Frontier and felt deep shame. But I enjoyed the shockingly large carrots they sell here.

Don't have anything to add other than this has been my go to online dictionary for 20 years:

I skimmed the reviews and I don't get the audience for these things. Sleep mode not working and crappy emulation for anything beyond like PS1 (PSP and N64 seems terrible). Just doesn't seem interesting to me when there are handheld emulators that can run all this stuff great.

Usually third party software comes along to fix some problems. Garlic/Onion and another one that clones the Analogue Pocket UI. And the hardware is sometimes around $60.

This.  The GBA SP knock-off is like $58 and a custom os developer already has a working sleep function.



The form factor makes this super pocketable/portable which is also why a lot of people are interested.
