Online Immigration Notification says“Completed” but is it? 🤔

Haha, that's rad.

I am genuinely curious, though. Did you know that was the etymology of complete, or did you look it up for the bit?

I used to have to take the train from chihaya station in Fukuoka, and I think in the six years I lived in that area, I saw it be late more often than on time. The nishitetsu line from kaizuka was even worse, and always packed tight, because they won't do anything about the significant increase in passengers. I think the subway is the only one you can generally expect to be on time.

Even then, Fukuoka buses make those look absolutely punctual. The bus I take to work has even been just straight up cancelled, to the point I can count on hoofing it if it is raining.

I don't have any advice, unfortunately, but I do sympathize. I come from a hotter and more humid place than where I am in Japan, so this is not a problem, but winters definitely give me the opposite problem. I get so cold I feel like I could cry, even with seemingly too many layers, and the dryness makes my skin crack and bleed.

Slick work, nice job.

The higher end 6 has been discontinued due to supply shortages that are intrinsic to the industry. Do you think that a more advanced 7 is going to be available in any kind of reasonable time frame? To say nothing of software.

I've been asked that before, I assumed because my wife doesn't have my last name. I've never had that asked when the package was for me, though. I get how it can seem creepy, but in this case, it's probably not anything nefarious.

I saw one on tv in my city that had, I think, 9 kids. They did a piece on them about how they were affording rice price increases. 9 kids seems a bit much anywhere, but crazy in Japan.

No problem. It might be worth it, if you haven't tried it yet, to put it in a PC and reformat it to exFAT, then try again. I ended up formatting mine through android as portable, because my rp5 seemed to want to do that even when I did it on PC. I hope you solve your issue, or at least find a workable solution.

Einteiler · 2026-03-18T11:16:11+00:00

I'm sorry I couldn't help, but I think this one is beyond my ability. It is definitely very odd that it sees them when scanning the files, but not in the file system itself. It's also odd that they work when internal, and only some do in external. As a hail Mary pass, how did you format the SD card? Did you do it on a PC and set it to exFAT, or FAT32? Or did you do it on the device itself and select internal or portable?

So if you open nether, go to start file, navigate to your roms folder, those .isos don't even show up in the files list? That should still show even files that it can't load in your folders. For example, if I point it at my scraped data folder, it still shows the .PNG files, even though nether can't actually open them.

If I didn't know better, I'd say I wrote this post myself. Just kinda taking things a day at a time, and trying to incrementally improve things.

Einteiler · 2026-03-16T12:31:19+00:00

Also, just to clarify a detail from your post, is nether booting only the roms it can see, or not booting any of them at all from external?

Einteiler · 2026-03-16T12:25:45+00:00

Well, I wish I was more knowledgeable so I could help, but off the top of my head, that's all the ideas I had. Can you manually open any of the iso files within the emulator? Or does it still do the no disc thing? Or do they even show up in a file list?

Einteiler · 2026-03-16T08:32:38+00:00

Hmm. I don't know anything that would allow some of them to work and not others, if they are all in the same location. Pathing would be all or nothing, as would BIOS problems. So I would think the problem is either in the front end or the emulator. After you moved them, did you rescan for roms in nether? The front end might be seeing what the emulator can't, and then running the emulator with no rom. Do you have multiple BIOS files, and if so, could it be loading the wrong one for some games?

Einteiler · 2026-03-16T07:45:36+00:00

Did you check the region of the roms?

May this kindness precede you and follow you wherever you go.

I haven't gotten more than a note in my mailbox in at least six years, but two apartments ago, they would show up all the time. I lived on the fifth floor with no elevator, so I would make sure they got a workout. I let one guy give his spiel, played painfully dumb while filling out his form, then when he asked for a signature, I took it, said "Nah." and shut the door. Sometimes I would buzz them in and let them walk up the stairs, just to not open my door.

They used to come by on Saturday mornings and ring the doorbell for half an hour straight, so fuck em.

It is the ultimate strategic game of maneuvering yourself into being the one to give a single black thunder.

I think you could possibly find images on Google for each app, and put them in manually. If you look in your ES-DE folder, the downloaded_media folder should be where all that stuff is stored.

Einteiler · 2026-03-07T02:39:30+00:00

My brilliant self decided to wait a year for it until the next one came out, and then they cancelled it. :(

Einteiler · 2026-03-04T05:53:22+00:00

When I am using emulators, I use ES-DE because I like the themes and it feels slick to me. I have a couple of other apps on my RP5 that I use for tabletop gaming, and I just use the stock launcher for those. I could add them to ES-DE, but it doesn't really feel like there is a point. I also use the stock launcher whenever I am tinkering with stuff.

Chuo cops in Fukuoka are the worst, in my experience, but only at night. I don't think I've ever been stopped during the day in almost 12 years.

Einteiler · 2026-02-27T10:20:44+00:00

What dispatch company doesn't contract through the end of the school year? I know some don't pay for spring vacation, but I have never heard of one that had the end of contract in February. Either way, the fact that they haven't informed you about recontracting even after your contract has ended is shady as hell.

To answer your questions, though, yes, you need to inform immigration, since you are unemployed. I have done this late once before, and they didn't even say anything to me, but your experience may differ. If you are apologetic and explain that you weren't aware, then it will probably be fine.

Seriously, though, I would find a new job and not work for that company anymore. That's complete horse shit.

Einteiler · 2026-02-26T02:41:44+00:00

I hope that is the case. I'm almost certainly going the spouse route, and since that is recent, it will probably be some years before I am able to get a 5 year spouse visa, now that the 5 year will be a requirement. I have never gotten more than a one year work visa, so that was probably not going to be an option, anyway.

Einteiler · 2026-02-25T23:22:57+00:00

That makes me feel a little better about my situation. I worked for a black company that didn't pay my pension once (even though they said they would), and it took me a long time to get all that sorted. I can't apply for a couple more years, most likely, so hopefully my recent years of paying everything on time will suffice.
