So, one night I was watching a sci-fi show (Travelers, 2016 is great btw) then after leaving the PC idle for a brief moment, the screen suddenly went blank and the PC became non-responsive. I had to do a force shutdown by holding the power button. After that, I tried powering on the PC again, thinking it might have just been a software...
Had a flip through the Pocket Visual Guide to Yokai I bought while in Japan. Really nice little guide to 333 different demons and spirits you find in Japanese folklore. Apparently this is the 15th print since 2018. Only came across it in the pop-up shop, not the tea house. First section was dedicated to all the popular Yokai you'll find in...
This is my third Nendoroid after Miku and Saber, Nendoroid 1678 Pecorine. Actually didn't know anything about the mobile game series when this figure was announced but there was an Anime show at the time so this made me watch it. Quite a fun comedy. I tried the game afterwards but couldn't get into that unfortunately. These days when I...
Import Japanese goods are pretty much everywhere in Hong Kong. Japan's only a 4.5 hour flight away after all unlike UK which can be 14 - 19 hours so it only makes sense for the city to import from there. This includes mainstream Japanese pop culture/otaku Anime store merchandise localised in Traditional Chinese such as One Piece...
As a developer, I know that code takes time to mature and stabilise so I'd been putting off Windows 11 for some time. Not to mention I don't have as much time to tinker with hardware as I did during my student days. Windows 10 was working great, everything was stable. If something went wrong I'd have to spend a lot of time fixing the machine....
Today was the last day I was staying in London before returning home the next morning. With business out the way I had a full day to explore. First thing in the morning was Kensington Palace which I've never been to. I'd been to Buckingham Palace when I was little but not this place I think. Again, it looked like an interesting place to...
So I had a meeting down in London and the last time I been there was over 10 years ago when Shinkai was there for a live interview. Since I was down there any way I thought I'd visit some of the places; mainly museums. Then it occurred to me the K-ON Movie was also set there so I thought why not visit those too if they're nearby? It's actually...
Out of boredom I decided to give VR a try since anyone can give it a go with their smartphone. You might have heard about Google "Cardboard" where you can create a container for your phone and enjoy VR or 360 video but, it's actually not as simple as cutting holes in a box. You have to buy two lenses to help curve the video being projected by...
I didn't really resort to any guides or hints until I started gettiing the same Angel which was Israfel but, it was fun seeing what I ended up with initially without a guide. I recommend you try playing without this guide too first or if you're here, you've probably done that already. Unfortunately there is no official guide as to how to...
I was quite excited when I learned Bandai was going to release an Evangelion themed Tamagotchi, "All Purpose Oval Weapon, Evatchi (エヴァっち)" early in the year June 13th. I wasn't too keen on the idea of raising an Angel but being an Eva fan it was going to be a fun collectible. So I was quite disappointed when I found all the stores online...
