🌟 Hello Everyone! It's massangoto! 🙋♂️✨ (Sunday, 1:30 AM)
It's Sunday deep into the night, 1:30 AM here. I'm massangoto! 🧑💻
My X (Twitter) follower count, for the weekly check-in which is currently on hiatus, has reached 4,330! Thank you to all my followers! I'm so happy! m(_ _)m
💳 The Saga of Mobile ICOCA on Android
A friend in Osaka wanted to add their ICOCA card to an app. After doing some extensive research, I found that while it can be added to an Apple iPhone, it's apparently impossible on Android. This realization took a frustrating amount of time to confirm, like an infinite loop.
If I'm wrong, please forgive me, but it seems there is no way to import a physical ICOCA card into the Android version of Mobile ICOCA.
The only solution appears to be using up the remaining balance on the physical card, returning the card, and then creating a new Mobile ICOCA account from scratch.
👨👩👧👦 Tech Support for Mom & Work Hopes
My mother also asked me how to create a LINE group. I showed her the steps, and she even wrote them down in a notebook! I think she should be able to create one by herself now.
Since I've been using the internet and PCs since the 90s, I often get relied upon for tech help—it feels like running a personal customer service center. I sometimes wish this could be my job, but working while experiencing severe, loud auditory hallucinations (which makes any environment feel hostile) is very tough. However, I still hope to start working again someday, so I am praying for the development of medicine that can eliminate these hallucinations.
📰 Leaflets and Creative Break
A religious leaflet was in my mailbox. I worry that the same groups might be involved in stalking, so I hate to even look at or touch it and have just left it there.
I've also canceled my subscription for the AI composition service, so I won't be able to create new songs every Friday anymore. However, for the 160 people who have subscribed to my channel and left comments, I always subscribe back and visit their channels. Let's keep in touch and interact!
😂 A Hallucination's Bad Joke
Finally, the auditory hallucinations have recently started telling some truly terrible jokes. They came up with this one:
"I'm 100 times more energetic, Hawaiian Man!" "Hawaiian Man, a new coconut for you!"
It completely fell flat (a mega-slide!), but a friend thought it was slightly funny, which made the hallucination a little cocky.
That’s all for today, everyone! Thank you for your time! Let’s meet again next Sunday!
I wish you all a week of safety, free of accidents and violations, peace at home, and success in business.
