now I know why Yamato are allergic to genericized trademarks. See: their insistent usage of ２次元コード(nijigen code) instead of "QR code" in their Japanese materials

In general, it's shenanigans with the display of VAT. In Yamato's case, they make paying cashless a tiny bit cheaper because handling cash is a time sink for their couriers

That color is common in incandescent green traffic lights around the world, not only in Japan. The idea was to use a blue-green lens to make a mostly green light when paired with a yellow lightbulb

Can you tell me the location of an actual blue traffic light in Japan?

It helped that they did major releases only every 2-4 years. I think a new major release every year is too much, especially when the changes are things like "we rearranged the system preferences menu" or "new emoji"

In RA1-2, they are good as fodder to soak up Tesla Coil hits and tank rounds so your armor can break through, especially agianst a human player. A good amount of fodder will force a human player micro against that attack, and distract them

I'm guessing the author is refereing to emoticons from MSN Messenger. I don't think the term "emoji" gained popularity in the west until the iPhone came out, and made emoji wildly popular because of the one secret trick
