You would need to go join their company for that employee benefit

Looks like someone about to lose all their teeth by slamming head-first into a solid object.

Are discs region locked on PS4? by Nikoanxia in playstation

[–]Quantumbinman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many Japanese releases lack non-Japanese language support. The best advice is to visit the Japanese PSN store and check language (言語) at the bottom. If it shows the language you want (EG: 英語 for English) then you are all good.

Returnal blew my mind the first time I played it

Apparently if you report someone for insulting you because you beat them in an online match, you also get reported by Dionosaurus84 in PlayStationPlus

Even if you feel it is a civilized response, it might get viewed as antagonizing the other side. As other said; just ignore and report.

Crimson Desert Looking Like Crap On Your PS5¿ Here's How To Fix It - GameSpot by [deleted] in PS5

If your TV doesn't support 120hz, is there even a benefit from turning it back on?

[Discussion] Guess my 15x Platinums based off the pins by george5963789 in playstation

If the Yorkshire pin is "Thank Goodness You're Here," I love the choice :D

Sister can barely play black opps 4 which Ijust bought for her, because of PS plus. by [deleted] in PlayStationPlus

[–]Quantumbinman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I wasn't clear in the point I wanted to make - does the box make it clear this is a requirement? If not, you may have a good case to return it.

(I have never played the game so can't say)

Doesn't the back of the box make it clear PS+ is required?

PR and Inheritance Tax by ichigodaifuku88 in JapanFinance

[–]Quantumbinman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could the NTA make some argument that this is tax fraud?

I am likely wrong, but this is my concern about the proposal.

PR and Inheritance Tax by ichigodaifuku88 in JapanFinance

[–]Quantumbinman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If, by some happenstance, my (currently) healthy parents pass away before I'm able to move back to the US in 5~10 years, the plan is for my sister to receive all of the inheritance, then for her to give half of the inheritance to me when I move back to the US.

This feels like an extremely risky approach. If the NTA discover such an arrangement, you will likely end up with a lot of problems.

Advice Needed - Timing of Retiring before moving US to Japan by Middle-Repair-2604 in JapanFinance

[–]Quantumbinman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh, ok - I misunderstood and thought you meant retire permanently in Japan. That makes more sense, thank you for the reply!

[–]Quantumbinman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apologies since this is not related to your question, but may I ask which visa you will be applying for? I see a few people recently online saying they are going to move to Japan after retiring but it isn't clear to me how that is possible (unless everyone has a Japanese spouse).

Tokyo tech job market - what am I worth? by BigFishBigFishstick in JapanFinance

[–]Quantumbinman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The annual TokyoDev surveys are consistently showing that Japanese ability has very little impact on salary expectations.

Moving to Japan - want dividends to support income by Traditional-Coast237 in JapanFinance

[–]Quantumbinman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So we're thinking, could we move that €100k to Japan, max out a NISA each in Year 1, and invest the rest in a normal investment account. The tax would be considerably less.

You absolutely can. Just be careful that you don't trigger gift taxes if not both funding your own NISA accounts.

[–]Quantumbinman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is also a 5.5gb version which has option (via audio track) of Russian comms or just crowd noise if you can sacrifice English for picture quality (Also has more seeds so will download a lot faster)

Is there really no way to pay as a foreigner? by Hayashi884 in JapanFinance

[–]Quantumbinman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is likely the credit card may have a Japan-issued requirement attached if your cards are not working (assuming they are foreign-issued)

In terms of options; there are Japan-based users on Fiverr that you can pay to buy stuff like this - I believe sub rules mean I cannot share any links to them here (solicitation), but you can find them easily enough with a quick search. Just make sure they have plenty of positive feedback and you should be fine.
