My friends who grew up outside Oz find it weird that to me “it ain’t Christmas unless it’s scorching hot”. To me the idea of having a cold Christmas is the odd one.

Fingers crossed the effects mentioned in the Chronos fight fixes an issue I had the other day - I was having a really good run with a strong build, but after the transition to phase 2 I was stuck in slow motion and stood no chance.

I’s often just carnal desire which results in the death of something to the tune of ~80 billion (with a “B”) animals every year that didn’t really need to be slaughtered.

I’m genuinely curious: what’s the vegans’ answer to the question of “what happens to the cattle and other livestock if everyone on the planet turned vegan tomorrow?”. It’s not like they can just be let loose…

Realistically the amount of livestock is not sustainable and they’d need to be culled in gargantuan numbers so that they don’t go from a “managed” ecological disaster to an “out of control” ecological disaster. And then you get the slaughter without the benefit of feeding billions of hungry people.

The “M” would be for mezzanine, which is usually either a floor that’s small or at an intermediate height between main floors.

Life before death, Radiant.

I have two moods for this:

One is a playlist composed of most of the library of songs by PVRIS. I don’t know why, but their music just really clicks with me; I can listen to that playlist all day with no problems (I usually hate listening to the same song more than once or twice a day).

The other is a playlist of non-combat music from The Elder Scrolls. Really good for gentle background music.

Yarp.

Consider the TV show another turning of the Wheel. Nothing in it prevents you from enjoying the Source.

Interesting choice. As much as I love the setting, I couldn’t see myself living in a place that has hurricanes on a weekly basis.

I’m guessing it’s the manager of the former manager.

Hi! I’d love Deserts of Kharak if that’s still available!

Be careful putting quest items in though. I had one of the nether stones in one, and an update glitched the mod causing the bag with the stone to disappear and soft locking my game (until I downloaded the cheat engine to flip the game state, but it was a very close thing).

As a teenager I ironically started saying “howdy” as a greeting. It’s now decades later and I still can’t break the habit.

I am in no way from the US, let alone parts of it that would say howdy on a regular basis.

People debate whether we landed on the moon - one of the wisest watched televised events ever. I would be surprised if a Livestream of him doing just that would be enough to avoid dozens of conspiracy theories.

I’m a locksmith, and, I’m a locksmith.

I remember playing the sequel when I was younger and remember having a blast. I don’t know of a good dragonriding / sword & sorcery game that’s come out in ages, so a remake of these games would be amazing.

Adios ASIO

I’m pretty sure I read an article a couple of weeks ago about that exact scenario happening.

Local transactions would be in Yen (also all vending machines such as train tickets - very important for getting around).

I would say you’d want to have at least a few hundred dollars worth of Yen when you arrive, and you could possibly get more when you get there, depending on how your bank works. Another option is to get a prepaid Visa card which you can then use to withdraw money in Yen from their ATMs.

Something I haven’t seen suggested in other comments is to rent a mobile wifi dongle and unlimited internet. This was fantastic when I travelled there since I could get directions and translation in real time through my phone without having to deal with the hassle of roaming charges.

The process to pick it up was super easy - either at the airport or main train station (can’t remember which), and returning it was as simple as putting it in the provided mail package and putting it in a mailbox.

Some other things - in my experience Tokyo at least is not super accessible for wheelchairs and the like. I recall that the first subway station I exited from had a two story stair climb with no alternative, and this was hardly a unique experience.

Also, Japan still very much runs on cash. I don’t know what it’s like for you, but where I am (outside US), we’ve basically transitioned to a cash-free economy for 90% of transactions so that was a big change for me.
