People believe so because there is a Unification Church branch close-by to Yamato-Saidaiji Station where Abe was attacked. Some fringe political candidates have previously accused the church of ‘foreign meddling’ in Japan’s politics. Others call it a cult. #安倍晋三 #統一教会

Still stunned at the news from Seoul. How can govt. ministers say this disaster could not have been prevented? Countless historic incidents and the crowd control manuals created in their wake say otherwise. This was a result of lax policing and nonexistent forethought.

I also tried Meta Quest 2 and played Dyschronia + Altair Breaker. The headset quality is great, doesn’t give me motion sickness like PSVR does. The games are still pretty basic though—nothing I’d desperately want to pick up. Though Among Us could be fun when it launches.

Japan's House of Councillors election has ended with the ruling coalition, LDP and Komeito, winning enough seats to retain its two-thirds majority. This gives the parties enough power to push on with their plans for revising the country's constitution.

Funnily enough, Meta Quest is super popular + has one of the longest lines here at TGS, reaching about 3hrs at its peak. Though one of the PRs said the only way people will know they want a VR headset is to actually try it, which is true. Videos and words do no justice.
