It's a coming and going I feel. People switch away from Apple but also the other way around. The thing is, the religious kind stays with Apple, doesn't matter what happens or what crappy product they release. Absolutely. I definitely prefer the PC-98 style over what we get these days. I also feel like that the general VN has lost a lot of its charm. Back then, there were a decent amount that had cool references all over the place (some poster, book etc in a room or something). Nowadays, we rarely get that and if we do, it looks kinda off (well, it's always a thing of aesthetics as well). But since the same thing happened to anime, it shouldn't be too surprising, I guess. Still, kinda funny how it mirrors over two relatively different media.

Well yeah, with the push in society towards both working and the lack of money these days, the West wasn't prepared at all. The East was prepared but we didn't have enough children, so a lot of Kindergartens etc closed down. Now we need more again but lack the necessary people. We have Chinese here too (since I live in a university city now) and yeah, they tend to stick together. Same with Turks but the Chinese are usually more well-mannered. Vietnamese integrated well but they also had small little shops everywhere where they likely laundered money (at least that was the guess of some people, considering they had them on busy streets and didn't sell that much to pay the rents). Though, apart from the Turks, there are all the immigrants from recent years who obviously don't just come from Syria and who are really terrible at integrating. They litter everywhere and if you are a women...you better try to avoid them, especially if you are alone. The main issue is, 95% of what came here was young and male. Basically no families which is a shame and I'm pretty sure there would have been less problems with those.

There are a decent amount that like that BMW car but I don't see it getting any pushes from the media. Without that, it will be difficult, unless basically all car makers have decent EV lines. We will see. Tesla is some kinda ticking bomb anyway, I feel, with Musk saying and doing stupid things all the time.

Understandable. Though, I think the standard CC costs like 2.50€ per months which is definitely fine. And since there are no fees on your purchases, it's not too bad. Well, still will need to change from my "golden" CC to a standard one, now that it's not free anymore. Probably. I know it doesn't affect me, so it's fine. Still not a friend of negative interest rate though...or well, it depends on how high the amount has to be. Like 100k saved and for that negative rates? Hm, tough to say. I would have to look more into prices of a lot of things.

Looks like my package isn't moving. It was picked up by the carrier in Japan and never moved beyond that. Considering it's been over 24h already....meh, bad signs.

Ohh, thank you for those Mercari links (I saw the song list etc already on VGMdb). Either I searched badly or Google didn't pick them up. How come the price is so low? Is the game itself not included (seller says: "This is an anime / book / music / game product...")? VNDB doesn't list separate releases but it's also very incomplete. Only you seems to have a tear in the shrinkwrap (or it's the angle + lighting) and Yoru ga Kuru! is unfortunately sold.
