In today's discussion, we discuss about Japan. Because I’m back on my Japan arc, but also because there’s a lot of chatter lately about over-tourism, and Japan being fed with foreigners doing dumbass things. Also, we talk about what is most likely my next addiction: Wuthering Waves.

So yea, all in all a newsletter about addiction.

In this fantastic and long thread, Mulboyne tells us the story of KFC’s opening in Japan and the story of Loy Weston, the first CEO of KFC Japan.

It’s a nice trip down memory lane and a good look into how unhinged Loy Weston was. He probably would have been canceled 200 times nowadays, but also wound up in jail like good old Carlos Ghosn.

Honkai Star Rail was my most played game last year after World of Warcraft. Now, a new game called “Wuthering Waves” is coming out today, and it is very similar to Genshin Impact (open-world, anime, waifus, gacha, grind, etc.). Since I missed the Genshin train, I decided to embark on this one.

So far, what I have seen is excellent and ticks a lot of boxes for my interests as a gamer/weeb. Take a look at the launch trailer to see what I mean.
