  • I have greatly reduced my consumption, particularly of new products. I’ve blocked most major socials by DNS in hosts of my PC (lots of japanese businesses still use some as their only way of stating business hours and info and same with updated disaster info, so I don’t block on my phone but don’t use unless I must). I don’t buy from companies who have a record of human rights positions and environmental policies that I disagree with whoever possible.



  • I played the original one in '98 or '99, but never beat it. Went back to it later in my late 20s or early 30s and was even more frustrated by the camera and controls as well as some other things. I basically never played the non-MMO titles that followed due to a combination of being poor/busy and just not liking 7. Getting into MMOs and having loved the first handful of FF games was the only reason I was convinced to try those. There’s zero chance I’m buying the 7 remake.



    1. almost never. Even when I lived and worked in Tokyo, conbini or supermarket was cheaper. It was basically a last resort
    2. I think you accidentally a word? I would typically use the vending machine nearest my office or at the train station. Maybe in front of my apartment when really hung over back in the day.
    3. coke zero or an energy drink
    4. kobini/super. Price.
    5. quick, easy, not necessary to deal with a human, variety, etc.

    I am a guy from the US living in Japan for a decade.
