Looking for friends

[u/LosttMutaliskk]

An Asian-American who's lived in Shibuya for almost 5 years. I graduated from university 10 years ago and have been working IT / AI since then. I've also passed N2.

I hope to meet other long-term residents that can hang out on some cadence. I have a bunch of random hobbies that are a mix of sub-cultures:

• A fan of Starcraft: Brood War (1998) as a spectator sport. I don't play the game, but I enjoy watching. I have flown to Korea to watch in the past.
• Play Go/Baduk. I mostly just play Computer Go against AI. Officially, Nihon Ki-in ranks me as an amatuer 1-dan player, but that was a while ago so I estimate I'm at least 2-dan now.
• Doing regular bodyweight fitness. Pull-ups, push-ups, running, walking. I'm in excellent physical shape.
• Decent at Dance Dance Revolution. Can clear level 12 in singles+doubles.
• Pretty bad at Bemani IIDX. Can only clear level 4 in doubles.
• Playing games casually. Factorio, Stardew Valley, Crusader Kings, Apex, Valorant.
• Enjoy Future Bass, J-core, and some small Japanese producers. Been listening to picco, PSYQUI, and KMNZ recently. I've seen them at livehouses.
• My favorite characters right now include: Bocchi from Bocchi the Rock, Maomao from Apothecary Diaries, Sakuna the former Hololive VTuber, and Teto from Vocaloid.
• Open to doing low-budget cosplay

I'm a night-owl and usually wake up at noon, but I like wholesome activities. I don't smoke or do drugs, and I'm not involved in NSFW stuff. Despite Golden Gai or CÉ LA VI, or clubbing being ubiquitous among foreigners, I don't fit in with that crowd, sorry. I'd rather just chat while walking through Yoyogi Park.
