Really who decided Old McDonald had a farm would be the perfect melody for JR Kyobashi station

Could swear the Keihan announcement voice just said Onakasuitekimashita instead of Omataseitashimashita

I'm so happy to get to perform music in Japan I still have like 8 dates lined up!!! Can you believe it! I can't

I was really tense building up to yesterday's concert but it went well and I got great feedback :') playing the drums also felt much more natural than I expected, even though I didn't have many chances to practice lately...

I was looking forward to the release of the limited time doteni style nabe at matsuya but it wasn't for me... It was really spicy actually??

I mostly pop up on here when I'm not doing too well but the other half of the time I'm doing my best! My 4th month in Japan is coming to an end and I've met so so many interesting, amazing and welcoming people. Still socially awkward but I'm getting better!

I'm so glad I can cook at my place now! Not much space but I adapted better than I thought and it's just such a nice relaxing brain off activity for me...

My room might get messier when my mental health goes south but at least I can whip up a bomb balanced teishoku from scratch even when I'm down so please someone wife me up :')

Got sucked back into using Instagram a lot to connect with the music scene so here's some random pictures of moments that just made me a bit happier lately

Thanks to whoever decided to put "gooning" in the German selection for youth slang of the year (came in second) I now got a text from my mother asking what it means

I still sometimes silently laugh at the translation "it's Mr. Tired" for お疲れ様です

The denpatou are an allusion to my current state of mind

Less than a week until Japan aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa internal and possibly external screaming

Still in the middle of it but damn Watanare is so hard to watch, I just hate how everyone acts (except for poor renako, she just wants friends and can't catch a break) As adaption-starved yuri fans you gotta eat up what's on the plate but it sure isn't tasty for me

Writing about personal/emotional problems online amidst everything happening nowadays feels like the biggest hypocrisy

Wow ending the day not full of mostly unfounded negative emotions for once would be real awesome World might be going to shit while my personal life couldn't be better and yet here I am absolutely beating myself up over packing a bit too slowly or owning too many things

Finally some good news!!!

I'm kinda tempted to enter the lottery for the hololive ReGloss concert happening while I'm in tokyo......hm........ it's a lot of money and I don't actually think they sing aaall that well live lol

Anyways here's a few snaps from my Nürnberg trip :)

I had a great time spending quality time with friends last weekend but somehow I've been having a terrible case of rebound social anxiety and tons of stupid, unreasonable self-hatred :( Can this please stop I just wanna be happy, productive and plan my long Japan trip

Hey Firefox users.

Having watched a lot of Star Trek as a kid, which features dynamically responding, voice operated computer systems and stuff like androids that are treated as crew members, I grew up with a really tech- and ai-positive mindset. Now some of it is suddenly real but I absolutely hate it, funny stuff

I really hate the term "sideloading". I preferred the original term, which was "installing software on a computer that you own"

yayyy so happy that this worked out!

Great timing to plug www.swisstransfer.com, which offers a much better service anyways...

Bnuy cloud :)

With con season starting I'm getting kind of sad I won't make it to any this year :') Next year!! Maybe it'll be time to try out dokomi for the first time...

Rare Luis selfie to show off my new phone case, slightly cheesy to have a Monet case but it makes me happy every time I see it so money well spent 😌 (+ bonus room sky snap) Wook bluesky aesthetic posting arc?

I feel like I unlocked some sort of dark magic by combining my two ways of making fancy cocoa™️ eheheh Foamable oat milk, one half gets forthed, the other mixed with cocoa / sugar and thickened with starch (like the Spanish stuff), then combining both. Blasphemously good

I love my current room so much!! Especially now that I get some sunlight again in the evenings

"None of the 35 methane gas turbines that help power xAI’s massive supercomputer is equipped with pollution controls typically required by federal rules." The ancient romans and greeks referred to asthma as "rehearsing death" Get off that bloody platform Right Now

Oh btw actually cool life update: After finishing my interim full time job I'll be doing working holiday in Japan for half a year, if everything goes right yippiee

I both hate and love that my online presence has essentially shrunken down from a diverse output of original music and posts about media to very occasional pictures of Mapo tofu, clouds and angry anti-ai reposts

I have to admit I did not see the new Pope coming in hard on AI on day 2 but I am glad to see it

Now this is some extremely cool news that other countries should be looking into for immediate implementation as well. Machine translation post-editing (MTPE) is a mark of shame that publishers should rightfully have to display as a warning to any potential customers.

Mapo Tofu & cloud update Have been sick for too long now but slowly getting better

I don't 'refuse to use' AI, I just don't use AI; in the same way that I don't shoplift, or plagiarise other people's books - it requires no effort of will, it's just not something I would think of doing

hear me out, Mono and Yuru Camp are actually world layers in anonymous code

The second Mono EP was so meta www I'm confused about the canon now, a manga exactly like yuru camp exists in-universe, yet the Yuru Camp girls also get cameos, wild stuff

So *only* the Japanese Switch 2 is region locked, and all other versions of the system can link with all accounts (including Japanese). They *really* do not want foreigners buying the cheaper Switch 2.

HM excited for the concept of a more powerful switch but the launch titles don't do much for me. Not sure what else I was hoping for... Guess a new animal crossing will once again be the deciding factor in getting a switch 2

Trying to figure out my future

its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further

Kann nicht empfehlen am Rosenmontag an einem neuen Arbeitsplatz anzufangen, absolut niemand da lol (+ essenzielle Leute krank) Hab weder Schlüssel zum (sonst heute unbesetzten) Büro wo ich hin soll, noch Personalkarte oder Diensthandy ausgehändigt bekommen, gr8 start

Pt.2! Wanted to make more but my sprained ankle told me to stop for today. Niku Miso / kinda sichuan mala-y Beef / glazed mushrooms! Esp the niku miso looks so gross, tastes pretty good though ww

Depending on the the emotion you want to evoke, lighting is the key to selling the vibes.

Starting full time work on Monday with no good food options so I'm trying to meal prep, let's see how it goes! Will make more tomorrow (as always too lazy to make it look nice)

Hit in the gut. I have folks from my uni who are on this program..... Hope they are fine
