A response to recent reporting in Germany, in service of clarity and accountability: First, it’s important to be precise when it comes to critical infrastructure like Signal. Signal was not “hacked” — in that our encryption, infrastructure, & the integrity of the app’s code was not compromised. 1/

Today marks our last full day in Tokyo! Our suitcases are mostly packed and we’ll be visiting Kichijoji today. I’ve loved every day here over the past three weeks but I’m also really looking forward to getting home and having some more days off to acclimate and of course: BREAD! 🍞

Standing at 6” (1,83m) I rarely feel small but today I definitely did.

Ohne ADHSler wäre die Unterhaltungs- und Medienbranche quasi nicht existent.

Ohne ADHS würden definitiv weniger Games entwickelt werden.

A couple people are asking if they need to play BG3 first, and the problem here is that if you play BG3, this book is “wow, it’s the tragic backstory!” If you don’t play it, the book is “wtf, why did Kingfisher write a book about this vampire being tormented that has such a downer ending?!?”

Today we’re visiting the PokéPark Kanto and I’ve already assembled the team. ❤️

As a Fan of Persona 5 this place in Shibuya always warms my heart 🖤

Our last day in Kyoto we started with vegan matcha crepes (ofc with strawberries and whipped cream) and for the rest of the day we will explore places we skipped or missed 1.5 years ago

Befriended some deer in Nara and had another great bowl of vegan ramen! 🍜 I really have to reduce my sodium intake after this vacation drastically 😅 (Alt: various impressions of wild deer in Nara, Japan)

EU: The European Union will require sale of mobile phones with “user-replaceable and longer-lasting batteries” starting in 2027. The regulation demands “availability of spare parts and manuals for 10 years to curb planned obsolescence”.

On our way to Nara 🦌

It’s absolutely incredible that one of the largest Japanese-run Go servers, which has been running since 1992, is still accessed entirely via Telnet. And while most players use GUI clients that use Telnet under the hood, you can still connect manually and get ASCII graphics streamed to you

Okay, this is crazy #tomodachilife

We’ve also visited Nijo-jo Castle today and therefore visited a place of great cultural and historical significance. I’m always in awe when I visit places like this.

I thanked by saying “gochisousama deshita” after we had the best vegan Okonomiyaki in Kyoto and the server’s eyes just lit up with the biggest smile! 🥹 I can definitely say my heart and stomach are full now ❤️

Hakone was wonderful! Now we continue our journey to Kyoto 🚄

I wish I could have this everyday 😌

We’ll spend the night in a traditional ryokan right by a rushing river. Our room has a private outdoor pool with water from a hot spring. 🥰

On our way to Hakone~ 🚊

Words to live by

Got a copy of the new #TomodachiLife this morning at Yodobashi Akiba. I’ve never played the 3DS game but had a ton of fun with the demo of the current instalment!

The range of non-alcoholic Japanese beers has indeed increased since our last visit a year and a half ago! (I like the taste of beer but I don’t drink any alcohol)

“We’re at a real crossroads. The worst people on earth control the means of communication.”

David Duchovny played a transgender woman, Denise, on Twin Peaks in 1990 and when greeting Cooper, the show's protagonist, she says, "I prefer Denise, if you don't mind" and Cooper responds with "OK" and her identity is settled within a couple seconds and was a non-issue, 36 years ago.

Hier wird gefälligst geschmatzt!

Currently debating whether I want to play Pragmata at home on our PS5 or if I get this for Switch 2 so I can play it before we get home next month 🤔

Jetzt habe ich alles gesehen!

Yesterday we spent our day exploring Akihabara further and naturally did some merch shopping 😁🛍️ Staying just five minutes from the main station made it incredibly convenient and a great way to recharge for the days ahead 😌

France is switching from Microsoft to Linux "We must become less reliant on American tools and regain control of our digital destiny. We can no longer accept that our data, our infrastructure, our strategic decisions depend on solutions whose rules, pricing, evolution, and risks we do not control."

Oh well, Shibuya on a Saturday really is … something 🫨

☔️

Saw this realistic looking #Persona3 Evoker replica in the SEGA Store at PARCO

Rainy day in Shibuya ☔️

I’m proud of the fact that I’m mostly able to navigate Akihabara and Shibuya and Akihabara without Google Maps 🥹

I wish I could have this view every morning

I've been fed up with phone photography for a while now, so I decided to buy a dedicated video camera for our upcoming trip to Japan, since the Sony camera is not ideal for filming on the go due to missing proper image stabilisation.

from software’s games always begin with some people fucking up the dragons. just leave the dragons alone man.
