shame crane games are rigged (tho i've sucked even with the ones that had 'timing' or a suction cup/always needed multiple tries) tho at least the JP ones seems to have cuter prizes (apparently you can ask the staff to help move/make it easier but after a certain point i'd rather buy it directly)
"might even be her pet" reminds me of a chines tiktok? where this guy apparently 'trained' a fly/brought it around with him in public
The struggle of overthinking encouragments coz most of them are actually a bit dumb when you take a few steps back and really think about them is all too real.
But then, managing to express it so poorly the encouraged thinks you don't want any part of that show requires some real talent. Amazing job Haida-san !
