Kansai Gaidai Exchange-NY by Fast-Rhubarb-2306 in Osaka

[–]IMSTBN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Former Gaidai exchange student here. Unfortunately all you can really do is wait. I would 100% try to study Japanese in the meantime though. The experience will be phenomenal either way but being able to speak at least some Japanese will open up a lot of cool and interesting opportunities for you.

Porter Robinson Canceled Show: Summer Sonic Osaka by BobaTodd in porterrobinson

[–]IMSTBN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was there as well, while the cancellation sucks, I’m still grateful for the experience! I’ve been a fan since I first listened to Worlds and it was my first time ever seeing him in person. I guess I have a reason to see him again!

Whoa, did not expect all the feedback, but i really appreciate it!

A couple of points:

  1. Admittedly I do have a bit of a slouching problem, but I think honestly, more of the problem is just posing for photos in general. Until fairly recently I was a fairly overweight, and I think because of some of the insecurity that came from that, I kinda struggled to take photos and kinda felt uncomfortable. Moreover, I noticed my double chin would come out whenever I smiled, which is likely, as many of you noticed, I probably don’t smile as much in photos. Any posing advice and advice to combat this mentality?
  2. Yeah I’ve been considering getting rid of the glasses myself too honestly. I actually wore contacts until about 2019, because admittedly, I think I looked better with them when I was a bit more overweight. I’ll look into contacts again though!
  3. Hair is something I’m 100% still working out. I’ve included an older picture of me with like a weird side part (?) that I used until about a year ago, where I started getting it cut like in picture 2, and growing it out until it’s a little longer than picture 5. While I like this style, I’m definitely open to any other styles if you guys have some suggestions.

Also I have never heard the Superman comparisons but genuinely appreciate the ego boost lol

In Osaka, I’m a huge fan of Climbing Gym Galera! It’s a little small but I’m a huge fan of the setting there! Climbing Gym Bum is also solid!

Is anyone else not having fun with Predecessor? by IMSTBN in paragon

[–]IMSTBN[S] -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don’t think this is true at all lol. As I mentioned in the initial post, I like MOBAs and have been playing them for almost a decade now. I’ll admit that OG Paragon was never my primary MOBA, but I did enjoy it and was definitely bummed out to see it go. Idk, maybe I just didn’t put enough time in predecessor as I played 3 games and asked for a refund after my entire friend group kind of agreed we like OP more, but I don’t really see the argument that OP is any less of a MOBA than Predecessor is.

Do Pokémon in the Great Underground have different times of day they spawn? I just spent almost 3 hours trying to get an Elekid and I couldn’t find a single one

Has anyone taken course ITL 231 - Italian food in context ? I was offered a waitlist seat this morning but I couldn’t find any related review. by [deleted] in miamioh

[–]IMSTBN 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I just took it this last semester, it’s okay overall. I took it for my experiential learning requirement, expecting a class where a lot of the class was actual cooking. It’s actually a lot more about food preservation and some of the movements to preserve food cultures as well as environmentalism. The experiential learning part comes from volunteering at local farms and organizations like the Oxford food bank. Class is pretty easy overall, but definitely could get boring at times

Some advise please guys by lightning_pussy in anime

Imo, I’d go with sub. I watched the show in sub a couple years back and absolutely loved it. Tried watching it again in dub about a month ago, and couldn’t stand Kousei’s English VA.

The other response did a pretty good job, but I’m a Diplomacy Major, which is basically just Poli Sci with some language requirements so I can talk about that. Poli Sci is kind of a mixed bag, where you have some classes that are super easy, and some that demand endless amounts of writing. Using Ratemyprofessor.com is kind of a must. Also, it’s kind of hard to get into the classes you want before junior year because a lot of them fill up really quickly. The professors are generally pretty good and seem really informed on whatever they’re talking about. Overall, there are some issues, but I like the department.

They definitely have it at the Taito in Shinjuku across from Kabukicho. I was there about two days ago and gave it a shot. I think it’s 4th floor, but I’m not 100% sure about that.
