@NintendoByNature Man, updating in and of itself is busywork, but I also don't look forward to the time of buying and selling as I'm sure I'll also have to do the two both at once. Or at least selling and looking for a place to temporarily rent, depending on future circumstances. Hope the rest of the family of Chateau NBN is doing well!

Things have been pretty good on my end overall, I've more or less moved back into my normal routine after the past month after being furloughed for part of June. A couple of health scares with some of my family, but nothing too critical thankfully.

@Heavyarms55 Thanks for the update! Glad that you made it overseas safely and that everything seems to be going well in regards to your travels.

@ThanosReXXX Weird how that works. The simultaneous desire of wanting all the free time in the world, yet also wanting to do something productive. It's some kind of crazy paradox of adulthood. Where's the next train station? I wanna get off this crazy train....~

Hey guys, I have successfully reached my destination. For the short to mid-range future, I've moved in with my aunt, uncle, mother and second cousin in a fairly huge house that we now share. My next steps involve lots adjusting to my new environment. For all intents and purposes, I feel like I am still just as much, if not more so, a foreigner. Yes, this is American and I'm an American, but this part of Arizona couldn't be much more different than Michigan and still believably part of the same continent. And I've been gone for 5 years. I was smacked in the face with "reverse" culture shock as soon as I stepped off the plane. This place is even more rural than my last home. Only instead of steamy, humid, Japan, it's hot, dry desert. Very little plant life, very little moisture at all. Dusty, dry and how. It's almost 9PM and I believe it's still about 40C. It was 43 earlier in the day.

@Tyranexx Thanks, I'm here. Yes, it was weird. The airports at Seattle, LA, Orange County and Phoenix AZ were all a bit more busy than Tokyo, still, they looked like what I would see as a slow day at an airport before the world went nuts.

@Mariolover92 Thanks!

@DenDen I've still been having much of the insomnia problems that plagued me before leaving. I've only successfully slept 3.5 hours since I arrived back in north America. And that was only because I took some... perfectly legal... plants. Without them, I'd have gotten nothing.

@NintendoByNature thanks!

@Eel Thank you sir. I'm here now and sort of settling in. Not 4 months, 4 months early, so 5 months. Still very early but I heard from the mother today that the kid is doing well for now. Sometime in the next few days they are gonna do some kind of brain scan to see what sort of damage, if any, he might have. But everything "looks" okay for now. But throwing another curve ball into the mix, said child's great grandfather, on the other side of the family, passed away a day later. Now, I understand that this person was apparently loathed but it's just another layer of stress on my aunt, uncle and cousin. More things to deal with. And stress I can't remotely help with. So I just made sure they knew they could ask me to do whatever if they need another set of hands.

@ThanosREXXX Oh I don't mean 5 hours a night. I mean 5 hours total, over 4 days. In snoozes of 10-20 minutes at a time.

@NotTelevision I didn't get much rest. But I'm finally here at my final destination (at least for the next 6 months to a year - longer if the economy remains boned) and I think tonight I might get a proper night sleep. Maybe.

And yes, both of Tokyo's international airports are ordinarily massively busy. Haneda for example is equipped with enough booths in one of its 3 terminals to have people boarding for 8 airlines, and enough desks to be dealing with a dozen customers at once, for each company. I could imagine thousands of people going through each terminal every hour. And when I was checking in? I think there might have been 36 other travelers in sight.

@Tyranexx sounds like everything is good then, at least. Glad your family is doing well. Any type of illness nowadays is certainly a cause for concern, so im happy it wasn't anything too serious for you guys.

@Heavyarms55 ooh five months increases his chances considerably, depending on the weeks, glad to hear everything looks ok, here's hoping it continues that way.

Oh you're currently in Arizona? That's like, my "home" state in the US. Most of my US relatives live there.

I hope you end up liking it.

@Blooper987 nice! I actually wanted a small phone but struggled to find a 4 inch one with good enough specs, at least I can somewhat comfortably play picross on my 5 inch phone!

See ya!

@Heavyarms55 tnx for the response my friend,
I hope you feel settled down very soon, and I really hope you will get the best of yourself again soon.

Just saw a Animal Crossing NH Bulgarian commercial on the TV.

I mean in my almost 32 years of ... life I have NEVER seen a Nintendo (ANYTHING) advertised on our TV channels.

@Eel I like it as much as anywhere else in the US. lol

Yes, it is cold and it even snows. Mt. Lemmon is particularly nice in winter.

I've only ever been there on winter, so I can't really comment on the summers, but from what I hear it gets just as hot then as it gets cold in winter.

Interesting. Saw this on phys.org. A program developed to prevent facial recognition on social media from detecting your face. Once applied, it corrupts the learning database from being able to detect your face in the future.

@Eel I reckon that it being well insulated only makes the smell more overpowering once you open a drawer or a door, so I don't really know if that's a plus in regards to a malfunctioning fridge...

@ogo79 I'm beginning to suspect that you were that kid in school whom everybody saw as a bit weird and slightly scary at the same time...

I'd respond with a GIF of my own, but mine wouldn't pass the admin/censorship bar...

@Tyranexx Yeah... I think it's pretty safe to say that we have established that people are weird...

Or maybe it's the mind that rules us that's weird, but who of us will be able to tell the difference between the two?

@Heavyarms55 Oh, I got that you didn't mean five hours a day, which is also the reason why I said you've definitely won, because I at least got around 4 hours of sleep in per day, last week, so you definitely beat me. Not that it was necessarily a good thing in this particular scenario...

Glad you arrived in one piece. You've successfully tackled the first hurdle, now on to the next thing. Good luck.

@Zuljaras Ha! So, you've finally found out that NO ONE can escape Animal Crossing New Horizons...

@Eel Ah, okay. Misinterpreted that part, then. I thought it was about "containing the fishy aromas"...

@WoomyNNYes I am not minding the heat honestly. I don't hate or love this place. I do finding it surprising that people chose to build a city here though. It seems so empty. Dry, dusty land, with few obvious resources. But it's here so... why not?

@ThanosReXXX The next thing, getting a functional computer out of my... mistakes.

For the record, Japan uses 100v the US using 120. I'll let your imagination to finish what happened there...
