A couple of weeks ago I said that I wanted to build a new desktop PC with a relative small form factor. Here it is. It's 15L so while SFF it is still at the limit I guess? But I really wanted that Tryx Panorama AIO with its curved screen I have so many ideas of stuff to put on it.

Just wanted to share the view from the office today. 🗼🌇🗻 #fujisan #tokyo #sunset

So I almost received all the parts for my new PC and I was looking at the official page of my motherboard to get some detailed specs. And I realized that I hate the "Gaming" marketing all those brands dig into. I mean look at that, "Enhanced PCB for Superior […] [Original post on shelter.moe]

It's been a while I wanted to look at UmaMusume but had trouble to go with the early S1. This morning I tried to go with the Cinderella Grey spin-off season and wow. Now this one I immediately got into it. It's much more like a Sports Shounen. And now I understand people who says UmaMusume can […]

After 18 years I am finally building a new desktop PC after a decade using laptops as a main driver. But I didn't want to go with a fat tower and just throw powerful components at it. I like constraints so I am building a Small Form Factor. It's fun to research and compare parts. It's less fun […]

Kurzgesagt made a really nice video about how AI slop is slowly killing internet. It's quite depressing. https://youtu.be/_zfN9wnPvU0?si=qtB0CtEyhpefSqFy

I realized I shot this picture back in May and it's a nice shot #mtfuji

I came back from my 2 weeks trip to France-Italy. How much I have missed the Japanese washlets. Every time I had to go to public toilets there I was feeling like a caveman.

I am visiting Rome and as someone who grew up loving the history classes about the Roman Empire, Astérix, Age of Empires and Gladiator being my favorite movie of all time. Seeing the Colosseum and the Roman Forum blew my mind.

Usually I take my Switch when I travel. But this time I just decided to go back to the PSVita. Seriously its size is perfect. And it fits in my Tech Pouch perfectly. Plenty of cool games on it I haven't started.

Je repasse en France le mois prochain et je souhaite me débarrasser de mon stock de Nendoroid à bas prix. Si c'est pour vos collec perso j'en file même gratis si vous me connaissez personnellement. Region Parisienne. Envoyez moi un PM si intéressés. Liste ici […] [Original post on shelter.moe]

You didn't know you needed to watch a super cute animated movie about Blahaj, the IKEA shark going to a Waffle House at 3am but now you know https://youtu.be/X1beEuBV7M0?si=2f5jf-pdX8oOKvJp

Saw this pic on reddit. Ironically, except Epic, they are all technically 1st party launchers and Steam not listed here is the biggest 3rd party launcher. It's definitely the "best" on a lot of aspects but #pcmr can be pretty dumb sometimes.

Since I bought a house there is one thing I could finally buy. A subwoofer for my TV setup. Not a big one but holly molly it feels great to finally have bass. In Japan, having a subwoofer in a non properly soundproof building is a no-no

Today's weather in Kanto? I just took this picture. We can even see Mount Fuji clearly! /s

Its not like it's cheating but I am sure the new guy in the Hashira's team with his red cape and his blue suit is a bit too overpowered #kimetsunoyaiba

After 10 years in Japan I finally visited Disney Sea for the first time. And ok I must admit, it's probably the most beautiful Amusement Park I have ever visited. The amount of details, the settings, the props. And it's everywhere. Not a single part of the park […] [Original post on shelter.moe]

Posters for police recruitment - Tokyo (left) "Let's protect Tokyo". - Osaka (right) "Let's go!!! A chance to show our strength". #japan #sasugakansai

Bon ben j'ai bien aimé Astérix Le Combat des Chefs sur Netflix. C'est un peu plus lisse que Mission Cléopâtre mais bon y a pas d'improvisation et ça garde quand même quelques éléments de l'humour qui faisait mouche.

A headhunter who contacted me on LinkedIn has a title that looks like "Japanese 🇯🇵-English 🇺🇸 expert recruiter". I saw the American flag next to "English". I insta binned his message... /s of course. But it still triggered me.

A gentle reminder that the first horror survival video game is not Resident Evil or Silent Hill. It's called Ecco the Dolphin https://youtube.com/shorts/ltPlpKrsE3c?si=BImjGra1sSd8U3hr

I have reached the end of Act 2 of Clair Obscur. Oh my ***** gosh. Those are the moments when I realize again that I despise people who say that video games are not real art. There is absolutely no way that you could feel the same in a movie or a book. It's the fact that YOU play that makes it […]

I have resumed the gym in the morning before work (from 7am to 8am) thanks to a gym that are opened 24h located 8 mins away by bicycle. That feels so good.

So, on the Discord server I am the most active, we used to mainly have channels about games, food, travels. We created a new one dedicated to house maintenance recently and it's super popular. This just shows how we age 🤣 we are exchanging tips about vacuum cleaners, fire and smoke detectors, AC […]

While the world desperately tried to get a Switch 2. I still think those are my favorites Nintendo handheld. And yes I bought dedicated stands for them.

There are Switch 2 resold at higher prices on Mercari. All offers have comments of people tired of scalpers describing what they ate today instead of being genuine comments in order to spam sellers. That's hilarious 🤣

Been really busy recently. I bought a house! I started to explore the neighborhood and there are a lot of Cafes and restaurants. I can finally settle for a while. I guess that also marked my 10th year in Japan. I don't regret taking that Working Holiday visa after resigning from the startup I […]

Started selling or giving away some small appliances and tableware as my moving is soon. I swear Facebook Marketplace is full of people with astonishing communication/understanding/reading issues.

I just finished #andors2 Best Star Wars media ever (if we exclude the original trilogy because.) and also a masterclass of Television full stop. I like when shows writing don't assume I am dumb and must be spoonfed.

Je suis tombé sur cette vidéo qui parle du projet de réseau de pistes cyclables en Ile de France que je ne connaissais pas. Ça sera génial quand ça sera fini ! https://youtu.be/z5E9YRP-NjY?si=cMC5xDGQNfRVLo89

People living in #japan. We can all agree that among all Cafe chains. Saint Marc has the best snack in the form of the Chococro?

Andor S2 Episode 8 was a masterpiece... An absolute masterpiece...

I found a nice spot to take a nap 🗻🏞️

I am at the 10 hours mark on Clair Obscur and this game is just phenomenal. I didn't expect to have such fun with the combat system. I am playing at the middle difficulty because I like the turn by turn and don't want to transform my experience into a pure From Software game but still having a […]

Allez on supporte nos Frenchies amoureux de JRPG qui ont apparemment pondu une pépite avec leur équipe réduite.

And Andor S2 has started with an arc of 3 episodes dropping every week. While there were some quirks, Andor is still what I think is peak serie in general that happen to be in the Star Wars Universe making it de facto one of the best Star Wars thing ever done […] [Original post on shelter.moe]

Today I went to a Star Wars Live orchestra. This weekend they had 2 sessions for A New Hope, 1 for Empire Strikes Back and 1 for Return of the Jedi. It seems the session I went to was the least popular. Amateurs.... Everyone knows that only Empire Strikes Back […] [Original post on shelter.moe]

Yaaay I finally got my stainless steel pan! Brought by my parents. Time to learn how to properly use it. Went for a proper Made in France one.

Some other pictures of the spring 🌱🌼🌸

You would like some #sakura pictures? 🌸 #spring

This is fabulous https://www.tokyoweekender.com/entertainment/middle-aged-man-trading-cards-go-viral-in-japan/

My parents and my gf's parents are in Japan right now. I juggle constantly with 3 languages and my brain is definitely not used to that. I sometimes use the wrong language and I am sometimes stun locked and need a few seconds to switch context. Not easy 😅

Holly molly, I never saw Kurzgesagt be that pessimistic and I didn't know Korea was in such a bad situation https://youtu.be/Ufmu1WD2TSk?si=fagRR_psYNGAH6Fp

The story of the guy who went to the City Hall to register its seal but forgot to bring that same seal *boke". Also I forgot, it's moving season, the city hall is crazy packed with people moving-in/out

I wanted to share my opinion about Monster Hunter Wilds. I am quite a noob with MH, my first was World and only 60 hours on it. And I feel like Wilds tried to put a lot of useless stuff that not only downgrade the experience but also robs new players from some of the brillance of MH. The story […]

For the people who may be interested. Disney+ just uploaded the full 3 episodes of Andor S1 on YouTube for free. I highly recommend it if you want to see how a more "mature" Star Wars look like. It also talks about space fascism and how rebellions are born. Ep1 […]

I am wondering if the Japanese government is internally discussing about what's happening with the USA lead by Trump. Seeing how the US is currently backstabbing most of its allies must make most of the other allies to think about the reliability of such partner.

For the people who knew me when I was on the old Bluebird site, you know that I was a megafan of Andor and I think it gives an incredible lens on the Star Wars Universe but for adults. Grim, wonderfully written and do not dumb things down. Season 2 is coming in April and yup. That's peak Star […]

By curiosity I went to a relaxed chess club in Yokohama in a cozy cafe with Jazzy music. They have wooden pieces and boards compared to the usual plastic pieces and rolls. I really felt my 40yo hobby www

Last month I shared how I watched and learned a lot from 3Blue1Brown videos about AI especially Neural Networks and Transformers. I am now following up with his series about Linear Algebra because it's still super relevant in Computer Science […]
