    Yeah it’s very bizarre how so much is still physical over there. CDs and DVDs everywhere. Payphones that actually work. Everything’s cash too. Every time I come back from Japan I have a sack of coins.

    There’s also a lot of advertising there about eating healthy or recycling. Not as any specific product, but just odd public awareness campaigns done by cities or interest groups. That feels really 90s

    I’m sure you can agree though, the most 90s thing Japan does is how everyone smokes everywhere.

      This needs to come back, especially because the ruling class has proven over and over again how much they like to make things you pay for disappear on a whim.

      I am angry how freeze-gamer PC’s so quickly ran away from disc drives. I wanna nerd out with old games or relish some obscure CD’s. (But like, on a budget.)
