i figured that they would have sold the fuck out w/ the neko atsume series and that they would be on like the 40th neko atsume game by now. kinda cool that like ten years later theyre like "heres the second neko atsume game"

there's a night mode on jstpst already? it should be in your user settings in the top right dropdown. you'll have to disable custom stylesheets to ensure that it wont get overridden by forum stylesheets though

yeah this is crazy to me, too b/c we have intermittent timber shortages here in new zealand. to be like "well we have all these trees, but it's cheaper to import them from elsewhere rather than knock em down" doesn't seem right to me. the labour of chopping a tree down and processing it is the same in japan as in china, or canada, or wherever. i want to attribute it to differences in regulations and labour costs, but canada is the #1 exporter of wood, and i can't imagine that their lumber industry has fewer regulations and labour costs than japan's b/c they're both first-world countries... maybe it's just a matter of existing infrastructure supporting industry logistics like how in china its easy to manufacture things because all the factories who make your materials are in the same city or region as you are rather than across the ocean

e: also i like the genre of youtube video thats like "watch these japanese men, the only people in the universe who still make stuff The Traditional Way instead of being made in lots of 50000 in a factory, where they sort of mill around and relaxedly make their shit by hand and it turns out amazing and beautiful
