Small things

I have a lot of small things or topics in my mind. I thought I just put them all together since twitter is too short for them and they are too short for 1 full blog piece themselves.

1. Finished rewatching the whole mythbuster series. I finally remembered what it is like to watch good TV.

2. Netflix is tempting because Casltevania anime is coming out but I prefer binge watching a series.

3. Went to Tsuta ramen (which technically is Soba). It is good for its own merits. It feels like eating some local fishball noodles with good soup. Though as Ramen I prefer something which is heavier in taste.

4. Walking in Japan almost killed my knees, ankles and sole of feet for my last trip. I really wonder how long I can do this. Also went to Bit summit. That was fun.

5. In terms of playing videos games, I went back to playing games mostly from JP developers. I don't really enjoy a lot of western triple A develop games. I still enjoy playing western indie games.

6. Hitting 37 this year. I am almost always the oldest person in a new group.

7. Also I am notice my memories are slipping. I really need to excerise my mental facility. There might be a need to go back to playing fighting games. Funny that has became a need rather than something of leisure.

8. To be honest I have given myself some thoughts about moving to Japan but I do not have a Bachelor Degree so I do not how that is going to work. Not to mention I don't speak Japanese and I am nearly 40.

9. I notice I am perfectly content staying home all day. This is probably why my social life is failing.

10. I'm also the last few people in groups to still be single. Can't say I am not bothered by it though I am more happy to be by myself. I like the space.

11. Not many people will know that my music collection is 95% Video game OST. Also I did not attend any of the video game concerts this year. Yes I skipped Distance worlds and the upcoming Zelda one. I mean I got a happy and signature from Nobuo Uematsu (https://twitter.com/kilvear/status/695612732175831041), I am pretty satisfied with it.

12. I have some thoughts of developing games but I am so undisciplined I don't think anything will come out of it.

13. The current state of the world isn't in a good place. Some people lack purpose. Some people's purpose is centered around greed. I believe hunmanity will eventually come around. Humanity is not as weak and feeble as most people think.

14. Did I mention Lunar New Year gatherings is starting to really grate on me?

15. I don't usually talk about my work life but there will be a lot happening for me at work. I worry I might stress myself work. Also get sick from over working.

This is getting long and I still have stuff but I will leave it to next time.

The anime cosplay game scene thing?

So I saw this post https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10155068273715568&id=629330567 and I thought I just write something about it.

I consider myself an outsider in the scenes of this scene as I am more centered around games. Yes I do watch anime but on a less regular basis. I read a lot more manga as it's easier to do so.

In regards to the scene, a lot of people cite the earlier times in the scene is more homely. I see it more because the scene is really small. You are talking about less than 30 people getting together. So know everyone's faces, their quirks and what bugs them the most.

Once the scene grew bigger, that is no longer possible. Though to me I always preferred smaller scenes as I know the people personally.

For a outsider, I see the scene is generally doing fine. Bad eggs are more in numbers just by pure ratio. I am going to be real and say that even back then we also had bad eggs just the number is like 2-3.

As for history, I am a nobody. There isn't much to talk about. I wore a costume a few times and that's it. I don't really considered myself to be pioneers or anything. I like to think that I just happen to be there when things started.

P. S. Me in costumes? Yeah the photos are somewhere online. If you can even find them.
