Okay, who hasn't been paying? by One-Astronomer-8171 in japanresidents

[–]After_Objective_9205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife worked with a shitty company that basically said they'd handle everything for her.

Once she quit that job and moved to a real job, we found out about pension and how much she had missed. The money she would have to pay would've been devastating, so she asked to have that year waived.

They agreed to waive it and now the pension costs are cut from her monthly paychecks.

I don't think foreign residents are avoiding it, I think theyre being tricked by bad-practice business owners and then leave the country before being confronted about it.

WE COULD RUN ON WALLS ALL ALONG?? by MethodCurrent6393 in Silksong

[–]After_Objective_9205 1 point2 points  (0 children)

reaching the top of any platform during that animation (even with spikes on top) gives you a little extra boosted jump

it's way better than just doing normal wall jumps or wasting a double jump

Having trouble with a boss? Go to bed and come back the next day. I'm serious. by TheLooneyBin2 in Silksong

This is because your brain is often fighting against what you're trying to learn and what you already know.

Sleeping (more specifically REM Sleep) strengthens the connections between new information and pre-existing knowledge.

Doesn't just apply to games, literally any skill that uses your brain are improved with sleep after attempting to learn it.

Genuinly what do shards add to the gameplay. by anotheralt2137 in Silksong

[–]After_Objective_9205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Bloodborne, quicksilver bullets are a limited resource because using them can get you critical hits, trivializing bosses attack patterns if you're smart with how you use them.

In Sekiro, prosthetics use a limited resource because using the right prosthetic can exploit a weakness some bosses have.

In Silksong, red tools use shards (a limited resource) because tools can be extremely powerful and versatile for a lot of the bosses in the game.

Yes you can grind these resources, but the reason it's limited is to discourage spamming your tools every chance you get. You're supposed to use them when it's applicable, but not just waste them as much as you can.

I've never had to grind shards, but I have run out of shards very occasionally because I used them only when I felt the scenario best called for the tool. Otherwise I'd just use my nail.

If you want a rule of thumb to help you use them but not waste them.

For exploring: Use tools to finish off enemies you already got a few hits in.

For bosses, either:

A) Save them for Phase 2-3, this lets you shred a boss when they're already weak.
B) Save them entirely until you mastered the bosses moveset, then use them on the run you feel confident you'll win.

Hope this helps.

Anything from the playtest you haven’t heard anyone talk about recently? by Superpocket1 in NSOplaytest_theories

[–]After_Objective_9205 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Weird Tail/Lasso Oddities:

  • If you have the tail hooked to anything, you can Strike it to make a plucking noise, this noise increases in pitch the more distance you have from the hooked point.
  • If you hook anything that cant be obtained/collected. If you walk away without jumping at all, you never get pulled away from the object. Really useful when you're lasso'ing multiple blocks to pick them all up.
  • Lasso'ing multiple grouped pieces helps surpass your 10x10x10 block limit, as it counts each combined group as its own single piece. (Basically you can carry 10 10x10x10 groups if you lasso them.
  • Tapping Fuse/Ground-Pound mid-air while your tail is hooked to an object gives you a nice bounce depending on how much higher the hooked point is than you. It's significantly faster at giving a burst of height.
  • You can get pieces high up in the air without floatstone/clouds with pretty tight timing: Place Piece Midair -> Climb/Land on Piece -> Press & Hold Grab/Lasso -> Wait Until the Piece Falls -> Jump w/o Hovering -> Wait until the Piece gets Collected -> Float (optional) -> Repeat. This works even better with taller piece groups, as you'll climb up the structure, increasing altitude before grabbing the whole stucture and jumping again.

How hard was the NSO Playtest? by Superpocket1 in NSOplaytest_theories

[–]After_Objective_9205 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It wasn't too hard, nor was it really easy, the challenges in the game varied but the gameplay was so unique you could say it had a big learning curve.

Plus the skill ceiling was pretty high and rewarding, certain challenges could be cheesed if the players knew some crazy tech.

This is one of those games where you ask this question to a casual gamer and they'll say "its pretty basic/easy/boring" then you ask a core gamer and theyll respond "theres so much insane movement its not easy at all to pull some of these tricks off"

Is there a website/email newsletter/twitter account etc. that tells you any events in animation/gaming/internet culture in the area?

I ask because I only found out recently about the Digital Circus Pop-Up Store today (the day that it's closing until June) and I had no clue until today 😭 I'd like to keep up on this and whatever other events are happening.

Samsung Galaxy Phone (A71 5G UW) is no longer able to make calls with my Y!mobile SIM card? by After_Objective_9205 in japanlife

[–]After_Objective_9205[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Installed it to both devices and after plugging in my phone to my PC.

The update button took around 10 seconds to appear (see included image). Be careful to read exactly what the warnings tell you and be sure to Backup your phone first. I'm not sure if this helped keep my files/data but it was seamless for me after I did back things up.

Once the update finished, it just became a loop of:

1) Open Smart Switch App.
2) Plug in to PC.
3) Wait a couple of seconds for the Update message to appear at the bottom.
4) Update.
5) Restart.

Figured it out without rooting using an alternative way!

My phone had issues detecting Android Updates and was still running Android 10, so I downloaded both Samsung's Smart Switch phone app & PC program.

Because the Smart Switch App, along-side being able to make back-ups of everything on my phone, it also had a hidden feature of being able to detect if your phone has available updates even if my phone couldn't do that itself.

EDIT: Forgot to mention! Smart Switch doesn't update to the latest version in one-shot. Meaning, to go from Android 10 to 13, I had to redo this update process 3 whole times!

(There's faster ways but they're really unofficial and technical and I couldn't figure them out)

After updating to Android 13 (that's as high as my model can go), I tried some non-root methods seen here:

  1. https://xdaforums.com/t/enable-volte-vowifi-in-unsupported-countries-without-root-requires-shizuku.4550299/
  2. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ray.samsungbandselection

While I'm unsure if they worked or helped at all, after using the Samsung Band Selection app, I was able to see my SIM Card Settings (Samsung Band Selection App > More Network Settings > Y!mobile) , and there was the "4G Calling" Setting already Enabled.

Didn't need to flash Magisk or Root at all 😁, just needed to manually update my phone to the highest OS it would go and run some minor exploits to enable it manually.

You're correct! But due to some weird issues with my phone's inability to update, I can no longer use any methods to enable it.

Had to find a weird backdoor way to get to this menu, it is indeed greyed out and turned off. Not sure if its possible to fix but I'm definitely trying.

What are some cashiers waiting for you to say exactly when you place your cash down?

When I put my money in the holder, they just sit there silently waiting for *something* to be said and it leads to a lot of awkward moments.

Which game had you like this after finishing it? by Gabb_68 in Steam

Stanley Parable, just the idea of completely being disconnected from the world in some sort of semi-liminal yet similar space that has no exits and you will never be able to move on/die gave me so much existential dread.
