  • That’s actually a common misconception.

    It’s not because Japanese ninjas are bad at being ninjas, it’s just that other countries ninjas are completely invisible to the naked eye.

    Obviously we all know we can see our own country’s ninjas, but other countries are invisible.

    Thanks to years of cultural import/export, most humans can naturally see Japanese ninjas.

    So congrats, if you can see a Japanese ninja, you’re actually just close to being a weeb.

    From my understanding, he has solar/wind powered well pumps, and a septic system he can “shovel out” himself. He had a covered box for deliveries next to his mailbox, and anything that needs to be dropped close to the house can drive straight in, I assume he plans those out ahead of time.

    I just checked street view maps and since the last time I was over there he actually has a driveway now! With a gate across it.

    Last time I spoke to him regularly enough that house questions wouldnt be weird, he was already working on solar power and already had a “battery wall” from 18650 cells cobbled together from surplus and garage sale battery packs. Had a whole table set up with testing and monitoring stuff for it. Apparently when the power went out, he could keep his fridge and freezer going for “almost a week”

    I’m sure by now he’s gotten some of the trees cleared so he can have a garden, as that was also on the list of things he wanted to do to the place.

    So he’s probably living as off grid as possible by now, while still using satellite or cellular internet.

    It would be weird for me to just out of the blue start talking to him to ask more about it, we were never really “friends” friends, more “he’s friends with my friend so by extension we hang out” which makes it weirder. Not sure why, we just didn’t seem to interact outside of hangouts and group chats. Although if I’m being honest it’s probably because his family is rich so any time he went on about the stuff he’s “built” and “earned” it just rubbed me the wrong way.

    But It’s a nice setup for sure.


  • I’ll be honest, they fucked this game over hard in my opinion.

    It really does feel like they separated everyone into teams, and none of the teams spoke to each other once. They all just delivered their chunk of the game without connecting pieces together.

    Base building was a nightmare, and that’s the primary reason I downloaded it in the first place.

    Then I finished the main quest and spoilers ahead for anyone who cares

    spoiler

    The concept of “well now you’re out of the universe so let’s go to a new one right at the start of the game again but this time a few things might be slightly different” was fun until all my hard work figuring things out with the bases got erased by “and by the way literally everything except your experience and abilities has been reset and you can either choose continuing the ability tree and maybe solve some mysteries of who built everything or you can care about the current universe but you can’t do both”

    Kind of killed literally every desire I had to play the game. Especially when they patched the easily accessed chests that at least gave me a shortcut to some things.
