I was planning on a trip to Tokyo in November, but now I’m tempted to bump it up a bit…

These shows are once every five years, and despite going to the 15th anniversary at Messe with sky-high expectations after the 10th anniversary in Budokan, I was still blown away.

Also it's probably just DNS-level filtering if it's anything like how Australian ISPs do it, you can just change to like..google DNS or OpenDNS to get around it in the future

Nope, it's filtering on an ip level. ISPs got real serious about this for some reason and they never reversed it. iirc the ISPs said it had something to do with some service provider that covered for Russian botnets or something. In any case, I still can't access nyaa using my isp Verizon, I have to use the opera browser and it's free europe or Asia vpn

The Makuhari Messe 15th anniversary special still hasn't been subbed and I've been holding out for it, but since it looks like it's never gonna happen, I probably should just take a look at the raw version, if it's still available.

I'd love if a day had a few extra hours to do it, especially the blu-ray version with the live Famicom Millionaire segment.
That said, it took a 9.0 earthquake to shorten a day by a mictosecond, I'd rather not figure out how to get a few extra hours.

I've thought about it and I think it would make sense for a huge milestone. I can organize it again. I'd use the same florist I've used in the past as they state they deliver to the Saitama Super Arena, and again draw up a card that has all the countries represented with flags.

Will make a mental note of it for late September/early October. I might also be attending the show!

So this episode seems very... unique. I mean, they have done some "lewb" stuff before, but this one seems more direct from anything translated before. Unless this is a preference in translation of SAGCCX versus LocationScouts?

Either way, hilarious. I also love a "throwback". All of that old music!

Semi related, are the Genesis Sonic games really that difficult for newcomers or is this just one of those Arino blind spots? I have no concept of their difficulty since I’ve been playing them so long.

Sonic 1 is pretty tough in places, 2 and 3K are generally much smoother with some exceptions (Death Egg Robot, the endless loops in Marble Garden and Ice Cap Zones)

Arino is surprisingly bad at platformers when it comes to reaction time, so Sonic is definitely not his forte, but I agree the first had a lot rougher edges than the others when it came to difficulty spikes.

I have a friend who loves Sonic but has only seen the Sonic 1 episode of GCCX, and I asked her to guess where Arino got initially stuck in Sonic 2. Her response was "Chemical Plant, especially the section where the purple rises and you have to jump on the moving platforms to make it out".

So while Arino is certainly bad at games requiring reaction time, I'd say the Sonic games definitely have some rough spots that are difficult for newcomers.

Oh yeah, those platforms are extremely punishing. I think the only other part that sticks out to me is the stupid launcher in Wing Fortress where you’ll just fall to your death if you’re pressing forward.
