    My boyfrirrnd got a copy yesterday too but he’s already trading it in for Dragon Ball FighterZ so it looks like I’m going to be playing MHW alone. 😭

    I played for about three hours last night (I took a long time making my character and feline friend) and played three missions until I could FINALLY play co-op with him. So you would likely be playing alone for a bit before you can actually jump in a game with your bf. Are you on XBone, PC or PS4?

    Does anyone happen to know if Android mp3-players exist? Similar to the later iPods, on which you could download apps as well. 

    Samsung made a Galaxy player a long time ago, but I don't think they exist anymore. Tablets and phones have (unfortunately) replaced the market for stand-alone music players.

    I'm currently in a LDR, with me in the UK and her in Japan. We've been together for about a year and a half now. We got engaged NYE 2016. Technically we've only met four times; the delights of the Japanese working schedule mean that she can only manage five-day visits to the UK, but I'm freelance and can work anywhere, so I've been able to  spend some four-week periods with her in Hiroshima. We're getting married in May (the whole traditional Japanese process), and then I will be applying for long-stay visa to remain in Japan with my soon-to-be wife. I am definitely very very happy, but I wouldn't say the whole process has been easy. Time difference and work schedule make it very difficult for find time for some serious conversation, especially if there's something important that needs to be said. You end up grading everything into one of three categories: 1)  it can be said in a text/Line/Skype message etc; 2) it needs to be said in a video chat; or 3) it definitely needs face-to-face communication time. The important thing is to be make sure you set aside regular time for video chats or the like. It doesn't need to be every day, but checking in and keeping the connection going does really help. For anyone just getting involvedin one, give it your best shot, because it can definitely be worth it. 

    My girlfriend also lives in Japan and her short visits to the States are similar, where she can only really manage a five-day stay. Of course with travel, that really breaks down to about four depending on the timing of her flights. I'm glad your story is continuing into marriage! I wish I could say the same for ours, but I recently was rejected from the JET program AND the company I worked for went out of business in the same week. So I'm essentially without an option to move in-country to be with her. We've been together for a little over a year and I met her when I was in Osaka, so we spent three months together before I had to move back home. Communication is so damn hard though, with a 14-hour time difference and we try to give it our best. Recently our conversations have not been very easy as I've hit a very rough patch in my life and depression is weighing on me and she feels that she can't be a good girlfriend since she isn't with me to help shoulder this depression and stress. I wish I could just fuck off and fly to Japan and get married, but she still lives with her parents and doesn't really have a high-paid job.

     

    Long story short: I feel you and it sucks and I'm happy that you've made it work and are tying the knot.

    This might sound dumb, but trust me when I say: have more than one option.

    Make your chocolates and cookies, and then have a backup set ordered at a shop where she is, that is, if you can manage to find a place nearby where she currently resides. It will help in the event that your gift doesn't make it on time, or at all lol. Having too many gifts is better than none at all right?

    Shipping will kill us no shit, but I think its a small price to pay as we don't have that many options to begin with hehe.

    Unless you are broke then nvm lol

    I am super broke as I just lost my job recently AND she lives in a country where I don't speak the language, so I'm just going to cross my fingers and hope it all arrives fine because I think I'd royally screw up ordering anything and shipping it to her from her native country.

    This. I think it's smarter to try to order something from a shop close to her place and have it delivered.

    Also, if you are shipping food abroad, research first and make sure customs will let it go through.

    She sent me a giant box full of goodies from her country before christmas and it arrived fine, but none of it was home-made (not that it should matter?) So I think I might be in the clear, but I honestly have no clue.

    Deviloof did an inteview with Shattered Tranquility. Much like their live-report, it's pretty void of anything interesting, but it's still worth reading.

     

    http://shattered-tranquility.net/index.php/01/21/interview-the-devils-proof-in-deviloof/

     

    Highlights: Keisuke said he wants to work with Morning Musume and is influenced by DIR EN GREY, Kagerou, and MUCC;  Daiki notices there's a lot of fans in Germany and Brazil; they plan to release some singles and maybe a DVD in 2018; Hiroto finishes the interview off with a fantastic saying: "if you listen to music like ours, you'll lose your friends. Be careful."

    I have to deal with us living half a country apart temporarily, but I'm currently working on having flowers/cupcakes delivered.

    Such a romantic they say lol.

    I just hope the delivery service doesn't screw me over since I have no way of verifying until the day of.

    I'm in a similar (yet much bigger) boat, where my girlfriend lives on the other side of the world. So now I have to figure out what's shippable to another country and won't get destroyed. I think I'm going to make my own chocolates and I've got a batch of pumpkin cookies with her name on them (not literally ... I'm not that talented and who wants to eat their own name?).
