You step out to society.

What's the first thing you'd notice differently?

Here in Japan?

Probably people being even more reluctant to make conversation with strangers/new people than before.

Oh, and probably the palpable aura of depression emanating from everyone that's amplified from the time jump.

But what if somebody showed you a steam deck?

Also random question how easy it is to pick up Japanese chicks? When I was In China just being semi white made me a celebrity. Is it like that in Japan?

Welcome back.

America lost the war. American media regards sex appeal as the worst. thing. ever. Sony is the leading proponent of censorship in gaming. Disney purchased Star Wars and killed off everyone you like. Harley Quinn is more popular than Batman. The Simpsons is still going and still hasn't been funny since the early 2000s. We had a politicized pandemic which turned people into antivaxxers and now polio is back. Donald Trump was president and may be again. And white supremacy is at an all-time high in the US.

I would not be pleased. <_<

I don't know wtf that is.

I'm not a foreigner, but it's much harder nowadays apparently, so much so that some foreigners liken the shift to people here being as picky as in Western countries.

We're such a hotspot for tourism as far as East Asia is concerned that almost everyone's used to the foreigner look at this point.

You're about 20-30 years too late if that's what you're hoping for. Especially in the bigger cities.

Couple that with our culture essentially mandating collectivism over individuality, and keeping to oneself, and it's even less likely you'll get the celebrity approach you'd find in, say, Taiwan or China.

That sounds like a drag. How does one meet people in Japan? Are their dating apps? Do you just have to know them through friend of a friend?

I think that's even more impressive since foreign men hit on you a few times.

Must be your hair :x

It's the greatest portable gaming device ever created! You can do everything with it! Not sure if it's sold in Japan yet though...but I'm sure it's just a Matter of time

I think I would be very surprised about how bigotry is more accepted today than it was then. I'd be surprised that US politics has literally devolved into 4chan posts.
