What if RDR2 were an Italian Western from the 60s?

First building is the Okinawa Prefectural Museum and walking around there feels like a different world. I love brutalism done right.

Been a while since I've done some fanart, but time for Viktor Tsoi of Kino again.

@diamonbazar @BrianMcDonaldIE Hilarious to be honest

@violentgeometry @BrianMcDonaldIE I was waiting for someone to confuse Phu Quoc and Fukuoka

SHOT reports that Russian tourists returning home after an Azur Air engine failure are stuck at Fukuoka airport in Japan, sparking a small protest. Passengers say a replacement aircraft has not yet arrived. Some spent the night sleeping on benches and baggage belts, while others were sent to hotels. They reported smells of burning and loud bangs during takeoff, but praised the pilots for safely landing the plane. After landing, passengers say they saw heavily damaged landing gear, likely from emergency braking.

@DairyTribe @Lyn_orv @CSMelissa @lebrazill This map’s been debunked many, many times. But if you wanna talk science: low IQ and low cognitive ability has a correlation with higher incidence of conservatism and racism. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22222219/

@Lyn_orv @CSMelissa @lebrazill It all makes sense now. You guys are literally a nation of retards. 😆

Do you know how insane and racist you gotta be to run a whole campaign telling people to avoid a country just because racism is a crime there?

@etnologiaart Ano passado eu visitei o local em que o acidente dele ocorreu na Letônia (também visitei vários lugares relacionados em São Petersburgo). 35 anos depois da morte dele, e estava assim, cheio de flores.

❁ Considerado um dos marcos mais icônicos de Moscou, o “Muro de Tsoi” está localizado no cruzamento da Rua Arbat (nº 37) com o Beco Krivoarbatsky. O local atrai legiões de fãs que mantêm a tradição de deixar cigarros — acesos ou apagados — em um cinzeiro especial junto ao muro.

@toshiromifupain @SynthPotato Yasuda’s concept art btw

Red Dead being originally a Capcom game always blows my mind. Red Dead as a franchise exists BECAUSE of RESIDENT EVIL 2 N64 port inspiring Capcom to work closer with Angel Studios and make a new IP, which was eventually sold to Rockstar and Angel became Rockstar San Diego!

@toshiromifupain @SynthPotato Akira Yasuda, who was the character designer for Street Fighter and some Gundam animes. It's mindblowing.

@gabrielfuh_ Uma vez recebi um reembolso por um atraso da Great Western Railway da Escócia que veio em cheque por carta pro JAPÃO e era de 12.75 libras. Também fiquei pensando que tinha custado mais mandar a carta. Precisava de conta no UK pra receber, nunca saquei o dinheiro.

Das burocracias alemãs bizarras. Os trens aqui estão quase sempre atrasados e, no caso do ICE, eles te reembolsam 50% do valor da passagem, caso atrase mais de uma hora pra chegar no destino e 25% se atrasar até uma hora. A Deutsche Bahn tem site e app. Você compra tudo no app com seu login. A passagem, a viagem, os horários, tudo fica salvo lá. Quando o atraso acontece, o crédito poderia ser automático e direto na sua conta do app. Mas não, tem que preencher um formulário, dizer que horas chegou no destino, se teve gastos extras, se usou a passagem - tá essa parte é correta, faz sentido. E pasmem, eles mandam o reembolso em um código por CARTA! Inclusive, em vez de me mandarem um e-mail com o voucher ou só creditarem na minha conta no site, eles mandaram uma carta pro Brasil, com um crédito de 15 euros. Cara, deve ter custado mais caro mandar essa carta pra minha casa no Brasil, do que o reembolso em si.

@oceanbluewolf @UnseenJapanSite Again, how does discussing about limiting who can take a Japanese language proficiency test that is MADE for FOREIGNERS show that foreigners have more rights? The test IS for foreigners.

@UnseenJapanSite The way you react to this news shows me youre a spoiled person who thinks you have more rights as a foreigner. Please look it at the other way if youre a local and you have many immigrants coming to your country. You will understand this makes alot of sense.

In today's episode of "let's beat up on foreigners for no reason," The Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) announced that tourists will no longer be able to take the test inside Japan - only residents. No indication of exactly what problem this new rule is trying to solve.

@oceanbluewolf @UnseenJapanSite How exactly does preventing tourists from taking a language proficiency test lead to “lessening the possibility of illegal immigrants”?

@UnseenJapanSite People forget that other non-english nations are even more strict. This prevents people from abusing the system and also lessens the possibility of illegal immigrants. Japan has been too lenient for too long and now they are waking up coz of the huge spike of influx.

@walsh_packard @luminaa_moon @Jubi_689 @Ezial357836 @yuriologian The concept largely depends on the country to be honest. Some English-speaking countries do divide America the same way some Asian countries divide Asia. Same happens to Australia/Oceania.

@violentgeometry @luminaa_moon @Jubi_689 @Ezial357836 @yuriologian Five continents? There are seven. Maybe you AND the Olympic committee need a refresher.

@walsh_packard @luminaa_moon @Jubi_689 @Ezial357836 @yuriologian How many rings are in the Olympic flag and what do they represent?

@luminaa_moon @Jubi_689 @Ezial357836 @yuriologian "It's a whole continent." There's no continent called "America." North and South America are two different continents. Just "America" is shorthand for "United States of America."

Then there’s me, the most awkward person in social situations in Brazil, and in Japan everyone says I’m a natural speaker and extrovert 😭

@jesuisunhananas And then you’re like a 30 min walk away from each other 😭

@jesuisunhananas Japan doesn’t have shopping centres really, they have… Train stations. Most impressive shopping centre for me though was in Bangkok 👀
