Possibly. Could definitely be a mixture of several things. Though, personally, I'm all for taxing tobacco to the moon and back. I can smell the smoke 20m against the wind and it's pretty awful. Since I grew up in the countryside, no idea. But gambling machines, just like arcade machines, funnily enough, were limited to establishments where entry was 18+ which is why arcades never really took off. So at best, you could go there with your parents. Hehe, there is a lot of dangerous stuff inside as well, especially if it's to save money. Poop was one such ingredient, pesticides another. Lack of regulation is definitely hurting and personally, I dislike vaping as well. There is a lot more smoke coming from it, to ridiculous amounts even and the smell is often not that bad but still bad. https://www.sbs.com.au/news/poo-and-pesticides-found-in-e-cigarettes Haha, don't think I ever got those but well, as I said, I only visited a cheat (and tips) website and then regular ones. After all, basically all of my four hours per week were spent on playing games directly. And yeah, when I got my PC and we got DSL in early 2005, I installed Adblock Plus immediately (and also used Firefox). As such, I've been ad-free for such a long time now, whenever I see a "normal" website, I go like: oO Too bad more and more people started using Adblock, so that they eventually went against it which is pretty annoying. The question would be if they could force it on every single PC vendor while also preventing people from actively removing it. I doubt it. It could be a thing, it could help a little but it would be too bothersome, even for China, at least in my opinion.

Yeah, 2500 Yen would be pretty ridiculous for Amazon.jp standards...maybe if you buy three games but for just one, it would be too much. The CD I checked the other day would cost 1200 Yen in shipping but ideally, you wouldn't buy just one item in that case. Teleportation would solve a lot of issues but would also create some serious ones. I know I was able to return goods that were damaged in some way that were labeled as good (but I'm also a power buyer there basically). For non-new products....that would be real tough. I've obviously seen people complain via ratings but I'm not sure I've ever read that they returned the product. There are a lot of professional scammers on Ebay though, so prices don't even have to be too low. I know I bought a game before that was actually re-shrinked at a price that was around fair. The seller initially denied it but I pointed out the obvious things and then he admitted it. Didn't bother using the time to return it but was annoyed nonetheless. And then there is stuff where they send you damaged goods and then claim that they were fine when they brought it to the post office. It's just too much of a hassle to deal with those. Positive sellers can fake positive feedback or some people are just oblivious. And as for Amazon.jp, some sellers just delete the feedback, so there it's pointless as well. Too much abuse going on... Yeah, 2 months can't be uncommon. I know the Belgian guy sometimes waits even longer...but sometimes also less. It's pretty weird but he usually gets it in the end. Still, buying from there would be nothing for me, especially since they don't stock the things I want anyway (old games).

Never really been a fan of doujin stuff to be honest. Exception is games if they are good but when it comes to music...meh. I guess, technically, "mooks" are somewhat related to doujins and I have bought some since they are somewhat cheap and can include a lot of good information...but there can be mistakes as well. So it's less professional, as expected. If it comes to Touhou, that fandom is pretty vast and hardcore, when it comes to catalogizing releases. I remember there were floating some screenshots about the bad translation around and there were a lot of complaints. But since I'm not interested in the current stuff, I luckily didn't have to care too much, hehehe. Hmmm, tough to say. Personally, I'm not a fan of ports on Windows like that. Patches should be enough to make something work on a newer OS if it doesn't before. Separate releases can split the fanbase, I know it did for the AoE2 one because I played that game on Voobly some years ago and some were playing the shitty Steam HD release and others were playing the original release. Nowadays, it's basically only the lastest release though which is sad. So publishers want you to play their latest releases and neuter old ones in some way then.

Absolutely, I got lucky in that one. Though, I have seen 2-3 other games that I have bought for double or even more on Amazon.jp previously. Too bad I didn't have access to adult YA before. I'm not familiar with Humble Bundle at all unfortunately. It is "pay your own price", right? I know I read somewhere that it is getting more expensive though. And when it comes to choosing the price, I would likely pay as little as possible as well. That's why I like to have a set price from the publisher instead. Or they lower the prices and sell more goodies for me to buy, hehe. That's the unfortunate part. We see how the large companies have gone full microtransactions and other terrible practices. Alicesoft can slip into that as well where important story parts etc can be exclusive to those smartphone/social games. Not to mention that it draws resources away from releasing regular games. And depending on what earns more money, they will invest even more in it and also raise the quality while the other kind (which is usually the standard releases) get neglected.

Oh? You have checked that お急ぎ便対応 ☆年中無休・土日祝も毎日発送 現在11/18発送→19-20到着予定☆全支払い対応 store? What's funny about this one, the store's name changes automatically. Pretty interesting how that is a thing. Regarding the prices...I haven't checked the storefront but maybe he just hates Alicesoft fans and want to see them suffer or pay way too much for a game? I know he has gone down for 妻みぐい 2 because he is competing against another seller but it's still 5980 even though it's a 2800 Yen game.
