The plane hit a Japan Coast Guard plane on landing. Five of the six crew members of the JCG plane are missing.

Edit: now the news is saying two are dead, and the captain is in critical condition.

2024 is not here to play, ffs.

stopthatgirl7 OP , 6 months ago to news in Tsunami warning in Japan after strong earthquake

There was literally a Jp magnitude 5 aftershock not 5 minutes ago, and the news is still blasting “evacuate” messages on the screen, so…

I’m lucky, I’m far enough away that it was only about a Jp 4 here, but over 30,000 homes are without power in winter and at least one major cellular phone company is reporting they’re down in Ishikawa. It’s not fine at all.

The news (I’m watching TV now) is still warning people to evacuate, showing it in big letters and with exclamation points, and in English along with Japanese, so the threat isn’t over yet.

If the picture doesn’t show up, it’s also here.

My family’s all in the US, so they’re all fine, but worried about me over here.

I’m watching the TV now just feeling gutted at some of the images.

I live in western Japan, and felt this earthquake even here - it lasted as long as the 311 Tohoku quake, and an NHK news announcer was screaming for people in the Noto area to flee to higher ground because of the tsunami.

MARTA is so inconvenient. I’m lucky; my family only lives twenty minutes from the airport so I just have to call them when I get in. And even though they’re so close, there’s no public transportation option to even get close to where my family is.

And God help you if you want to take the bus; those MARTA buses come when the mood hits them.

Ok, MARTA really is kind of shit.

stopthatgirl7 OP , 7 months ago to games in If Gamers Want More Powerful Women Then Stop Being Afraid Of Them

the one-dimensional specist asshole with absolutely no other character trait.

I used to think that about Ashley until I did what I nicknamed my Asshole Run. I was an Adept, so I usually had Ashley and Tali around me. I ended up listening to their elevator conversations, and Ashley treated Tali a lot differently than she did Wrex or Garrus (the ones she saw as a military threat) - she warmed up to her and treated Tali like a little sister. So when Tali died in that run on 3, Ashley was gutted and was crying when you go talk to her afterwards. Seeing her actually have a character arc made me like her a lot more.

Define “gamers,” because the metacritic user scores would argue your point.
