Hello everyone, and it's been a LONG time! I wanted to update everyone on where I've been the last few months, and what's up now. So, as it turns out, work was stressing me to the point where I could no longer even enjoy playing Destiny, and so I faded off for a while. And then I hated my job enough that I quit (surprisingly hard to do when you work for yourself, although it was fun calling my boss a dick and rage-quitting without having to leave the shower), applied for a job teaching English in Japan and ended up moving here.

Yes, I currently live in Japan, specifically, Matsue in Shimane Prefecture.

It's taken them about six weeks to connect my internet, but now I've got it, and even more importantly, I can play Destiny once again! My PS4 is auto-connecting to the US servers and I don't even need a VPN to force it. I'm playing some serious catch-up right now (I've only had access for a little under two days, and have been at work for a good part of that), but just so everyone knows, I'm back in business, and so long as you don't mind my having to play at extremely odd hours (as of writing this, it's just past 11am Tuesday here, but it's 10pm MONDAY on the US East Coast) or not knowing what the hell I'm doing right off the bat (haven't run a Crota yet, and I'm still at 29 Light... for now).

Looking forward to playing with you all again; see you starside.

TL;DR: I got fed up, quit my job, moved to Japan, and now I can play Destiny again. Also, sushi is dirt-cheap here, but pizza is expensive.

Timezone might be an issue :-p

CruelLegacy time is like, 1:30 in the afternoon in Japan! If you're on, we'll catch you up. I can do weird hours… as soon as I finish this movie.

You're awesome :D I usually work until about 4pm local, so that makes things especially fun. The glorious life of an English teacher!

Dude, you've done the thing I've fantasized about for years now. Not necessarily Japan, but decided you were done and moved on to something else. So major props to you, man. As for gaming, I would have loved to play but I'm on the One.

In any case, welcome back to the fold, I'm glad you made it!

First Australia, now Japan? You're quite the traveler.

I'm guessing this means I won't randomly bump into you at PAX this year. :P

Welcome back. And good luck with the new yob!

Cool - Japaneese culture is so different from the US. Should be a really fun experience!

MMmm, yummy sushi... Stop making me hungry!

Work is taking us to Tucanos (https://www.tucanos.com/, all you can eat meat) in an hour, and I haven't had breakfast. I can wait, I hope. Sushi sounds soo good at the moment. Must wait for meat gluttony followed (much later) by some Destiny gluttony.

Anyway, hopefully I'll see you online sometime, I find myself playing "early cruel" time.

Yeah, I'll be there in spirit, but the rest of me will be eating sushi off a conveyer belt.

I went out for sushi last night after posting that, actually... 20 pieces at one of my local favorites costs me about $9 USD, so it's hard to complain about anything other than it gets crowded on weekends :D

Sweet! I know that on weekends some of those times will line up... I think...

I couldn't quickly find the actual video, but this will do.
