Oh, that one's a doozy...
So, ngl, I was getting to write this up for like a month, maybe even more depending on how you count things... Anywho let's get to the point:
As some astute viewers might have noticed I've been a little less active lately you can have some fun with definition of 'lately' here. Now, I've felt somewhat compelled to explain that issue to all you lovely folk who don't give a slightest โ–ฏ about it. And to punctuate that with a lovely month-long Train ending today. Alas, the life has it's own plans, hence delay and I'm lazy af but we can omit that deatail Regardless, Question is - why am I here? I think it's mostly legacy compatibility issue. I was gonna make that post in one form or another and it has to be done or else it'll bother me. Problems discussed henceforth have less meaning right now. It was supposed to be a form of vent, self-help or maybe a coping mechanism, now it's juast a wall of text partially to satisy my and partially to obfuscate the train. But lest get back to the topic at hand - why was I gone.
A while back coming on to a year now it seems I've met a girl. And oh boy, was she something! And don't throw the words around easy, but she was closer to perfect than I'd ever dream about. Yeah, I fell head over heels for her. And the best part is she was into me as well. So one thing led to another and as it happens we end up together as a couple. And I basically end up the happiest guy on the planet. Oh, and my trip to Japan (a life long dream) happens around that time as well totally amazing, got to visit all my favourite spots from Yakuza IRL, wonderfull place. So yeah, I was quite absorbed with life and didn't have much time to hang here. Long story short, here comes January and she says she doesn't feel it and breaks up with me. I was davastated. Crashed right from the top to like the lowest point in my life ever. Now, I had a plenty of time to hang around here then but I didn't really want to be around. Here, or anywhere for that matter. Yes, what you might think of came to me. In hindsight I don't know if it really mattered, but I was under some form of professional care, so if I did came to use you as a shoulder to cry on you wouldn't bare it all on your own... Anyway I struggled a lot right to somewhere around April. April came and I was like a new man! All the problems gone and I'm feeling good! That's where we get that aforementioned monthly timeline. Was gonna write up a long post like that one and tell y'all to hop on a train that end on my bday! But life had different plans again and I've fallen on some bad health do people do it? do you fall on bad health? whatver, I guess I did. Nothing too too serious, just some lifelong ailments acting up WAY more than usual. But that was enough to throw me off-kilter for a while. But I got some meds, I've got a hospital visit for treatment planned soonโ„ข, and overall I'm better. Now my bday came and well, I'm kinda down again. I'm getting older and while I'm seemingly doing well life kinda sucks. But why do I write this? You can't really help me nor am I looking for pity. I know ppl have it way worse then I do yet here I am crying about my First World Problems. So I'll just close it with a little Simpsons meme I might be overusing, but that resonates with me well. find attached below
For the train - it's mostly bundled, non-reg locked, non-free crap exceptions apply lvl 2/3 (sorry, mixed) and runs from my bday till the end of the week. I ran out of slots on this one lol it should be fine but some eagle eyed individual might run a sanity check if all's linked correctly (all my private GAs should be in this one) making trains is a โ–ฏ Oh, and there's a little something for my ๐Ÿ’™ as well ;)

Happy belated birthday! I was stuck for a while in the same loop you seem to be going through. My brother helped me realize I needed a change of mindset. It's not easy to do, maybe not possible to do without (external) help. But once you stop focusing on things are not going well (which are always present in some form or another) and start focusing on things that are good, even the small day-to-day stuff we usually take for granted, life quickly gets a lot better.

I hope you are able to make a similar journey and that you will feel better when your next birthday rolls by.

Oh, and thanks for the giveaways, it was a very nice train!

Man, Don Quijote is GOAT! Say what you want about conbinis and sure, you couldn't live in Japan without them :D but you haven't shopped in Japan if you didn't visit Don Quijote!
And yes, they blast their theme song from the speakers throught the store all the time!

Considering the original source of that yakuza game, this must be the world around here....
There are still a lot of yakuza offices in that area.

Happy Birthday. Sorry to hear about your relationship woes, but at least it sounds like you had a great time in Japan. I would love to visit there someday, just soaking in the sights.

Have a great weekend!

When this is all said and done could you post the link?

I've been working on it for over 3 days now and I'm pooped!

I just want to know what the code is that I'm missing xD

I'm surprised at the number of people who claim difficulties with solving it as it's really the most basic obfuscation that anyone familiar with puzzling should figure right away! But sure, I'll post the solution :)

This post gave me the motivation to take one last stab at it after staring at it for hours over the last few days, I think I might be blind.
Happy belated birthday!! I hope things start going well for you!

I've had fun trying it out and I'm sure I'll be kicking myself once the solution is apparent.

Just for peace of mind and sanity is why I'd like to know.

Again, I've had a lot of fun trying to solve it - so thanks for that :)
