Hmmm those photos may be getting cropped horizontally by Mastodon and ruining the intended effect unless you click on them

Truchet tiles spotted

They did this cool thing where there was one area of the walkway tiles with the chaotic/aperiodic Truchet tiles, and another area tiled with one repeating tile that formed a complete unbroken picture with the Truchet tiles but were themselves totally regular, so it was like this rough border with order on one side and chaos on the other

This is still in the park around the Tower of the Sun. Every individual little part of this place had so much care and thought put in it

Pictures of World

I am moved to tears by the size of this thing

My goals for this trip:

- Locate and buy a used 1981 "Epoch Cassette Vision"

- Do not sink time into following developments in, or writing social media threads about, the United States election (I am not saying this is inherently a bad thing but it is simply not what I should be doing right now)

If I do this right expect this account to consist of pretty much photos for the next month

I am in Japan

Went to a Japanese arcade and was expecting to come out complaining about how everything's rhythm games now but instead I'm walking out just super impressed with the high production values on these incredibly polished rhythm games with compelling mechanical concepts

Also: all the games feature music by Toby Fox. Good for him!

Okay I asked and apparently Mastodon wants to see what the Japanese Laserdisc cover for "Barbarella" looks like. (In my opinion: This is a very good piece of packaging.)

PS what is this second movie

I told Grandma, I hate Grandma's stupid pies. I didn't want that.

I got a "Danger: Object Class Keter" shirt with a little SCP Foundation logo at the bottom in an intentionally overlarge size to wear as a sleep shirt. Sleepy Keter girl

Wait wait WAIT what is this and why does it have a light pen :O

There is also a "Bomberman Girls" now which is a mildly MOBA ish capture the flag Bomberman but everyone is a sexy anime girl. The basic game design concept rules but every part of the execution fails (horrible analog stick that hurts your hands, shockingly low framerate given the simple graphics, map design that bunches everyone up on one square) and the cheesecake is creepy where it should be hot (especially given some of the characters look very young but get the same sexy poses/"gaze" D:)

Extremely incredibly good: Waking up with the sun

IMO not so good: the sun in Osaka, Japan at the end of October raises at 6 AM and sets at like 4:30 or something

Japan doesn't have daylight savings time, but of course daylight savings time would make this problem literally worse. Sometimes I actually kinda wish the world had daylight savings time in reverse

EDIT: Wait. DST is in the *summer*. Is what I really want for DST to be year-round?

Oh by the way also at the arcade there was an AMAZING ddr successor called "Dancerush Stardom". Instead of the nine plates there's just basically a giant touchscreen, it has depth because it's clear with an array of flashy lights underneath, it richly combines elements from multiple rhythm game concepts (not clear from the video but it often has you drop your foot and slide it left or right), some tracks assume two people on the plate dancing around each other(!)
