@ThanosReXXX I genuinely wonder how some of them make it safely driving through construction zones, yes.

@ThanosReXXX No video proof, but the TV still exists and is whole, therefore, it's sufficient evidence things did not go terribly wrong, otherwise it would be in pieces.

Has anyone tried to make a Japanese account on their switch like the article on NL wrote earlier today?

Same, I made one to play the Famicom app and the Katamari demo (before retail release). Removed the account after a day because of the newsfeed. I actually use my newsfeed and that drove me nuts.

I appreciate not having to go through extra steps every time I open an app/game. So, no.

LOL but the newsfeed is awesome.....they actually have more useful content on the Japanese feed than the PR tripe of the US feed.

One can say "but what good does it do if you can't read Japanese"....but then....why do you need a Japanese account to begin with?

@ReaderRagfish https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/04/guide_how_to_buy_nin...

When you buy something do you get charged an extra percentage or anything if you're bank is in the US? Stupid question, when using that account is everything in Japanese? Or can you change it to English? I have a ton of questions really but i don't wana throw a ton at you. Just seems like it might not be as worthwhile as it sounds so i wanted to see what people who have done it, think of it. Nintendo doesn't frown upon doing it this way do they?

Are there even that many great exclusive Japanese games on the eshop ? The one I'm most interested in is mana collection but I dont think you can get text in English which blows. In that case I might just get the physical copy off amazon

@ThanosReXXX Hmm...Mirroring. I might try that. Thanks! The really extroverted/excited peeps will be challenging though. XD I'm not one to normally really raise my voice unless I'm A. likewise excited or B. Getting to the breaking point. B very rarely happens in public, but someone walking by my open window when I'm playing some games or having mechanical troubles with something will think I live with a sailor.

@AlohaPizzaJack I start out most days loving humanity and more often than not end them with wishing the rest of humanity would go on mute. I like/generally get along with most of my coworkers, but they get annoying/loud sometimes in the open space we're in. Thankfully I don't deal with customers anymore, but I sometimes joke that our support team needs their own beer therapy cabinet.

@ReaderRagfish cool thanks. Like i said, I want mana collection but it's physical anyway so Amazon is always an option. Probabaly not worth my time to create an account

@Tyranexx I hear ya. There’s a running joke among some of us managers that if we ever need it, Room 12 on the Crisis Stabilization Unit is open for us with a shot of Haldol.

I’m downloading the Starlink update, but I forgot I’m cooking tonight. So between cooking and watching Night of the Living Dead 1990, it’s uncertain if I’ll enter Atlas tonight.

@AlohaPizzaJack renting night of the living dead or is it on Amazon or Netflix?

Side note: I watched the howling 2 yesterday and forgot it was basically a werewolf orgy fest

@AlohaPizzaJack I actually had to look that up. Not because I didn't know who this fictional Star Wars figure is, but because of the reference in regards to Stan Lee. Well, Marvel has more than enough money to make an eternally living, digital copy of him, but perhaps we shouldn't. Otherwise, what would his legacy be worth, if we keep dragging him back in, even in a virtual way? Let the man have his peace. His family might like it, for the money, or perhaps not, I don't know, but even though I'll miss the cameos, we'll always have the existing ones.

And perhaps they'll find some other older Marvel geezers willing and able to do the next wave of cameos...

@Tyranexx Aha, so you're no stranger to swearing, huh? I think we'd get along just fine. I'm actually a bit of a barbecue fan myself...

As for the mirroring trick vs your issue with extroverted/excited people: although I should perhaps have elaborated, I did mention that whether in business or private situations, conversations should always be organic, as in: not rehearsed, not summed up like reading from an auto-cue, but natural, and that also means that it must be appropriate/fitting for you as a person. If you're not an extrovert, don't force yourself to act like one. Well, at least not into extremes that are too far removed from you and who you are, because that'll come across as decidedly fake.

Mirroring isn't 1:1, it is YOUR version of what the other person is, not an exact copy. So, be soft-spoken if the other party is, but not too soft-spoken if that is not something that you'd normally do. Just leveled off enough for you, to make the other party feel like an equal in the conversation.

Most people want, look for and appreciate like minds (in a conversation), so it makes them feel more relaxed, and because it's you doing the mirroring, that means you get to be in control, which in turn creates confidence, which in its turn makes communicating with whomever more comfortable, relaxing aaaannnndddd.....

More organic! And hey, presto! We've come full circle. Enjoy your conversational exercises, and have fun building confidence with mirroring.
