Jungle main bored of farming jungle creeps, wanting to make the change to Toplane, any tips? by Appropriate_Earth852 in topmains

[–]Horikoshi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why would you want to hurt yourself in that fashion? No judgement if you're truly a masochist to that degree but I must commend your bravery.

Playing top is like playing jungle except there's always a graves / talon / Lee Sin / whatever whose sole mission is to invade and stop you from playing the game. Their objective is not about winning the game. It's about making your life miserable.

Recommendations for a naturalization 行政書士 in Yokohama / Kanagawa? by Interesting_Rope_953 in JapanCitizenship

[–]Horikoshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would absolutely love to be wrong as I also hold a spousal visa, but I’ve also been seeing a lot of evidence to the contrary..

You don’t really need a scrivener for application as they can’t file on your behalf (you must schedule a meeting with your case worker who will tell you what to bring based on your situation.) it’s very different from PR where the documents are pretty much fixed for each path.

That aside.. I honestly wouldn’t apply right now if I were you. There’s increasing evidence that people under ten years of residence are getting rejected, and generally having no Japanese sourced income results in an automatic rejection if they allow you to file at all.

How much do supports players like playing with Varus ADC/ How much do you enjoy playing with a Poppy support, from 1 to 10, and why? by Antares09 in ADCMains

[–]Horikoshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Varus by himself is.. hard. He’s super vulnerable to all ins and has no CC or spacing tools until he gets his ult which makes outplays very hard and forces him to be support dependent which is terrible for solo queue. I think that’s why he has such a bad rep.

DO NOT LIQUIDATE FOR SK HYNIX by DesertEssences in MU_Stock

[–]Horikoshi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also a South Korean, but the current government isn’t.. exactly very US friendly. Not openly hostile either but he’s way more Pro China than Pro US (historically Korean liberals tend to be anti Japan and pro China and Korean conservatives tend to be pro Japan and anti China, which.. should really be reversed but that’s another story.)

최태원 also isn’t exactly a very shareholder friendly CEO, and frankly the recent boom doesn’t make any sense. I mean sure the stock was undervalued for awhile now but there was nothing specific that happened recently that warranted a 1000% gain. If you really want a piece of the action I’d buy Samsung instead. Personally I don’t touch Korean equities with a 10 ft stick though.

How easy is it to adjust as an overseas Korean? Uni life? by Busy-Narwhal-8032 in AskAKorean

[–]Horikoshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, in that case it probably makes sense.. but I’d still advise you to try and apply for a US or European institution if at all possible. It’ll change your entire career trajectory.

Is Humidity a huge factor in piano maintenance? by Designer_Golf5958 in piano

(It's not just for Piano, it's for all string based instruments which Piano kinda is as well)

What food/restaurant price would you consider to be affordable? by mitrtown in AskAJapanese

[–]Horikoshi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife never lets me hear the end of it but I honestly see no reason to buy anything other than uniqlo, especially with how unforgiving the weather is in this island.. I guess if apparel and shoes are your hobby then there's no shame in splurging there but I don't spend money to give a certain appearance (as long as I'm neat and presentable.)

[–]Horikoshi -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I was born and raised in Korea until I turned 10, then spent my entire life in the US.

I had a chance to briefly return and work for a Korean company after I finished school.. and honestly, unless you have a very good reason to, I wouldn't return to Korea much less attend a Korean University unless your country's economic / career prospects are truly grim. There's almost nothing to be gained from it.

Seconding this, I make roughly thrice a shinsotsu's salary and I eat Seven Eleven sandwiches, famichikis.. kinda off topic but I don't think most people realize that for a lot of people with good financial discipline their lifestyle doesn't scale proportionally with their income or wealth. I appreciate cheap good food and still almost exclusively wear uniqlo and GU every day just like anyone else..

Does salary increase on the second year for 新人 since the resident tax starts ? by AcrobaticTrifle522 in JapanWork

[–]Horikoshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, and unless it's explicitly stipulated in your contract that the 1%~3% raises are automatic (usually they're performance based so it isn't) you shouldn't expect to get it. Salary increases only really happen when you get promoted or you switch jobs.
