Hi. As the title says, I resolved the following error. What I tried There were two. When you try these, you will need to take full responsibility for your action. Backup is important. The first one is a GPU driver update. Valkan will be installed along with the driver update, so I tried this method first. However, changing the driver sometimes causes instability, so I recommend checking the current version from the device manager. The second one is installing the latest version of Valkan Runtime. I referred to this nice Japanese article. https://emulog.net/ps3-emulator-rpcs3-cant-run-missing-vulkan-1-dll/ In my environment, the problem was resolved.  However, my GPU was too old to play :(  I hope these information helps you. Bye.

Hi. There are various discoveries when you grow plants by yourself. Today I took a picture of the molting (maybe there is a formal name...) of the new shoot of an apple tree in the second year of seedlings. The above picture is hard to look the "molting", so I expanded. If you look closely, you'll find a skin that is transparent and can be peeled off easily. When I first raised an apple tree, I thought it was an illness, but it is growing without dying. So now, I'm thinking it's one of the physiological phenomena. By the way, "Secondary growth" is another phenomenon. The trunk becomes thicker with vertical cracks as shown in the image below. At the beginning, I was worried about various things. For example, I thought my apple tree got sick by seeing the white hair (trichome) of the buds (I didn't know the buds has it). But after a year, I get used to raising apple trees. In how many years will apple trees grown from seeds bear fruit? I can't wait

Hi. Good morning / afternoon / evening.  I’m ponpokorin ( @ponpokorin_24 ). Recently, there are various things that are simple and convenient. Of these, I was particularly impressed with this part of Otafuku Sauce bottle (see the photo below). It's a valve that makes it harder to drip. Note : Otafuku sauce is a common okonomiyaki sauce in Japan There are other containers that are difficult to drip, but this was the most moving for me. Good work, Otafuku Sauce! Maybe some people say "I already know that because it was used before other companies' products", but I saw it for the first time with a bottle of Otafuku Sauce. It was a waste to throw it away after using up, so this time I refilled the olive oil. Costco's huge olive oil is difficult to use as it is. BIG SIZE (3 times the general amount in Japan) Here are the steps. I don't think there is a problem, but please do it at your own risk. Refill procedure 1

Hi. Good morning / afternoon / evening. I’m ponpokorin ( @ponpokorin_24 ). Today, I recommend “Yakiimo(焼き芋, やきいも).” In Japanese, generally, “yaki( 焼き )” means “baked” and “imo( 芋 )” means "potato". But in this case, “imo” means "sweet potato (Satsumaimo)". So, “Yakiimo” is eaten as snack in Japanese people in daily life. Yakiimo is delicious! If you visit Japan, you should try it! What is Yakiimo? Simply speaking, when we bake Satsumaimo, it gets sweet. It is Yakiimo. Please look at these photos.  they  were very tasty! By the way,  why Satsumaimo gets sweet? There is complicated theory. If you are interested in complicated theory, it’s here (You can skip). --- complicated theory start --- Used sweet potato (Satsumaimo) has β-amylase and contains a lot of starch.
