It’s nice to sometimes get the good parts of cyberpunk. (At Blink in Cincinnati) The most cyberpunk moment was when a Duke Energy logo came up on the side of the Music Hall and the whole crowd booed.

First you draw a circle... And then you launch the devouring swarm of one at high speed in a pinball table. One of the GB games that really benefits from getting the SGB treatment. 'tis a bit hard to see the ball in motion on the DMG screen. 📺: Kirby's Pinball Land, HAL Laboratory, 1993

this however is beautiful, we all love Vibri

Depending on the size of the boxes, comic book boxes are great for packing or moving games/movies. They pack neatly, they’re designed to hold weight, and they’re built for stacking. I like short boxes because they are easy to pile into a car or van and the size also limits the weight for carrying.

That’s a great point. The one screenshot doesn’t show the CCs that precede this. There might be several different CCs communicating those important details. The subs don’t provide any of that context. Thanks so much for sharing things like this. I always learn a lot from your detailed explanations.

I’m curious if there are situations where it’s OK to break style guide / standards if the closed captions could hinder or impede the viewer’s experience. Or is the answer here that someone who depends on closed captioning should turn it off to see the text behind it, and turn it back on afterwards?

Dumb question. Would it be appropriate to omit the CC in this instance and fall back to the subs that have the Japanese lyrics and English translation? Does the use of italics in the subs telegraph enough context that someone who depends on closed captioning can know this is singing a song?

They’d tell us exactly which trains to take and what stop to get off. By the time we’d go to say thank you they’d be 20 feet away and walking as if they had never stopped. This happened several times. I think the people there are nice. They’re busy and direct in a way that’s often misunderstood.

I had a similar impression before my first trip to NYC. My friends and I went to see Puffy AmiYumi there in 2002. None of us had been before so we weren’t familiar with the subway lines. We never looked at a subway map for long before someone would stop to ask us where we were going.

today's hardware designers could never conceive of what Kazuo Kawasaki was doing in 1996

ok leaving this up on the conference room whiteboard

Thanks so much for taking the time to take and share these pictures of the shops you’ve been visiting. I’ve gotten a ton of joy seeing all the neat things you’re finding.

Looking at a lot of the comments across different threads, it seems like there’s lots of nonsense around which titles people are choosing and a bunch of people being using that to be butts for no reason.

This seems hard with a generational divide. Back in the 90’s, there were often huge delays between when a show was airing in Japan and when it got localized, so fandoms formed around the Japanese title. Now that shows commonly release around the same time, it’s easier to use the localized title.

I set a goal for getting a Safe Cracker magic token from here today. The last game I played was the closest I got. 4 or 5 trips to the vault and I couldn’t make it to the safe. I can’t believe how many 1s I rolled. Maybe next time I’ll be able to pull it off at least once.
