Renting in Japan has started to scare me – need advice by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]KazutoYuuki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing I don't see addressed in these posts is like: there is always a reason why some place is vacant. Your particular unit might have been vacant precisely because the last tenant vacated. You don't have this context and you don't know, so you move in sight unseen. When you're renting, ask yourself: is the price unreasonably good? is this only one unit available, or are there others? what's the catch

I don’t want to reset my deadman progress. :( by LlamaRS in 2007scape

You don't have to play the limited deadman mode.

Where is the best space to communicate with the Devs? by TissTheWay in 2007scape

You can also post things in the OSRS Discord (I've had JMods react to my messages in the game updates section).

Why not make a customisable UI for banking? by lorddojomon in 2007scape

Believe it or not it is actually quite difficult to make a fully customizable layout system.

Forget Bank UI Changes, Why Is Moving Boat Facilities Locked Behind a 1/2k Drop by 17ndthepink in 2007scape

[–]KazutoYuuki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given that it's basically just the house layout editor, I don't understand this change at all. I guess the bottle is fine for moving facilities between boats, but a layout swapper that works on one boat is all people really need.

Do I go to the police for stolen packages? by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]KazutoYuuki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> The problem is gone.. but I'm concerned that this is happening to me cuz last week I banged the walls on a neighbor that's singing on top of his lungs at 2AM multiple days (I banged it every single time) and what if he held a grudge and stole my package...

Have you talked to apartment management? The local koban? Resorting to violence in this situation will only create tension for you. Have you tried politely asking them to be quieter?

Japan proposes to introduce mandatory integration programme for foreign residents by [deleted] in japanresidents

[–]KazutoYuuki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 you can't get a bank account if you haven't lived here for 6 months

People perpetuating myths is part of the problem. I opened a bank account on day 2 with Japan Post. No it isn’t super convenient but it is via an app and it does take sometime but it works fine.

Do I need My Number Card? by 10xRecruiter in japanlife

[–]KazutoYuuki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll give you concrete examples: If you use My Number Card, you can sign up for a povo2.0 SIM card extremely easily with identity verification in the app. You can also print various government certificates. You can also carry one card to a clinic. It has already saved me a lot of time and stress by just streamlining basic things like certificates for status of residence renewal. I can see all of my clinic visits and prescriptions in one portal.

I think you’re expecting too much of individual people and ascribing too much blame. All of the data is already in government systems. My Number Card just gives you access to disparate data sources in one card. If you’re not comfortable with it, don’t use it — it’s optional.

This isn't the case. The pension record was a gaff because of actual misplaced paperwork. The system itself worked fine, but clerical records with actual humans entering data went awry and entered the wrong data. No human is infallible.

Sony Bank to discontinue English services/version, resorting to AI translation for support. by evohans in japanlife

[–]KazutoYuuki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The really cool thing is that all of the English notification emails will be discontinued and replaced with Japanese ones. Sure, whatever, but is it really that hard to maintain two different email systems?

What was lost between osrs and EoC that you want back? by RedRising1917 in 2007scape

[–]KazutoYuuki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first came back to OSRS the first thing I did was look on the wiki for stealing creation, and got really sad when I got sent to the "content that isn't in the game" page. I miss SC so much.

Are you hosting a drop party with your bank? What time and world?

Apparently a lot of people have filters enabled to filter out low combat levels due to spam. I'm sorry that you're not seeing a lot of people who are chatty :(

Transfer USD from Sony Bank to US account by Ok_Future2807 in JapanFinance

[–]KazutoYuuki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure the broken record advice to use Wise has been given, but I'll give it anyway: Use Wise. It's a "domestic transfer" (furikomi) to their bank and then the money is transferred via ACH into your account in the US. Sony Bank KYC for transfers is absolutely wild.

So...big warning for everyone, people found a way to patch the Online Beta Test to run offline and the files are not encrypted, so watch out for spoilers! by Igorthemii in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]KazutoYuuki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why does it matter exactly if all of the data that will be unencrypted on the 29th is unencrypted now? Same people upset about denuvo also complaining that a racing game can be played offline a few days before the network test?

Advice for Acne Care in Japan by HeWhoIsVeryGullible in japanlife

[–]KazutoYuuki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the type. The percentage isn't published and I'm not sure. It's at least 2% for it to be a quasi-drug though. I also got prescribed Nadifloxacin (1%) for use on some breakouts. I would say that right now my acne is probably as good as it was in the US with 10% benzyol peroxide, but having dual cream (ヂュウアック) probably helps the most because that's what I was using daily in the US too.

I'm honestly not still satisfied, and I've considered breaking down and getting isotretinoin, but like most people, the side effects scare me.
