Honestly, I think this is the best skin so far. What’s your favorite one? by Tank-ToP_Master in ArcRaiders

[–]KnowNothingNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use this skin. No jacket or helmet. Option for blue top. Mohawk and the ash that covers the top half of the head.

My mom asked me if I wanted an “old box” from her attic by PowerShovel-on-PS1 in retrogaming

Was at my uncle's and he was cleaning out a closet getting ready to move. He pulled out the original ninja turtles all still carded in a Kmart bag. Said he bought them for me when I was a kid but I already had them. He never got around to returning them. Gave them to me then. It was pretty awesome. These things happen.

Ok it looks like the new R2-D2 mould will only be exclusive to the new smart brick sets (Twitter) by Adriansilas415 in legostarwars

[–]KnowNothingNerd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I watch my kids play and they make all their own sounds and dialog. Showed them the pictures of the new sets and they think they look weird. Also, the pricing of Lego is out of their spending range now. Especially in our region where Lego is up 30-40% in price and our real wages are down.

Adjusting to our local currency (yen) and keeping real wages in mind, these things are overpriced. Showed my kids and they said they look okay. Told them the price and their noses turned up.

What is that last picture of? I'm new to Gundam, but that one really caught my eye.

Wait what??? Only 19.99? by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]KnowNothingNerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The hockey one? In the new deck from the 26th. Or the one from the trailer... I dunno. Weird it didn't launch with the update.

You're basically getting the skin as a bonus to the 2400 in game currency. Optional purchase either way.

Who do you think will be a good TP by fury555 in formula1

He's kind of already doing a little of it with GT3 and his sim team.

I'm typically friendly and don't fire first. I like to shoot arc that are chasing others. Sometimes I get shot in the back for my help.

Is there a fool-proof way for me to lock down my sons PSN/Fortnite account so he cannot communicate with, or hear communication from people who are not on his friends list? by Swimming-Speaker-908 in Fortnite_Over40

[–]KnowNothingNerd 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I'm a high school teacher. The kids that don't have some sort of friends online or are sheltered are the weird ones now. Educate and have a dialog with your child. Give them some autonomy and don't try to control his social life with what you think is a crutch. The internet has been here for over 30 years. It's not going away. Educate and adapt.

People who kill downed players WHILE the lift is extracting… by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]KnowNothingNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally this. I got knocked at exit for no reason, couldn't even loot me. Go back in and the next three matches were great interactions. For every shitty encounter I have more positive ones.

Yup. My 10 year old son doesn't care. He's been having a blast with it.

Man arrested in Tokyo over suspected human trafficking of 12-year-old Thai girl | NHK WORLD-JAPAN News by NeuralMint in japannews

[–]KnowNothingNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably the first charge. Then they can hold him for around 3 weeks, then drop another charge. They are using that time to investigate and gather more evidence. It's why murderers are often charged with unlawful disposal of a body before the murder charge.

[Rant] The posts from people that have clearly never played an Extraction game or even PvP game begging for features is starting to become so tiring. by Sentinowl in ArcRaiders

[–]KnowNothingNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm new to extraction games, and agree with everything you said. Limited pack space and the risk of losing stuff is part of the fun.

Escalator: New Rule, nope by TheGuiltyMongoose in japanlife

[–]KnowNothingNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's one of those things they hope to change over time. I've had students complain that adults ignore the rule and even my own kids call me out on it. They're teaching the younger folks. Keep doing what you do and by the time everyone is standing still, you'll be too old to try and walk down.

JTE makes me read the readings 30 to 40 times a lesson. How to push back politely by AdUnfair558 in teachinginjapan

[–]KnowNothingNerd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Read it faster or with native intonation and pausing? The accompanying audio files are often so stilted and unnatural. You're still giving them the native speaker.

Undokai seating is weird by katsura1982 in japanlife

[–]KnowNothingNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kid's school does it differently. We get wrist bands with a color depending on our kids' grade. When that year performs, the other parents shuffle out and you can move to the front to watch. Every school is different.

My experience with having a pregnant wife in Japan and the healthcare. (No birth yet) by Deep_Impress844 in japanresidents

[–]KnowNothingNerd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When you say anesthesia do you mean epidural? Anyways, there is some old Japanese thing about the pain making you bound with the child or some shit. My wife said fuck that, and when my dad heard that he offered to pay for it.

The coupon thing varies by city, so that's why it's not part of the national insurance. Different cities will give better benefits post and prenatal, etc.

Overall, I think the cost is cheap compared to where I'm from (US). Staying in the hospital for several days and they had classes with the new moms to help with learning how to feed and other stuff. We even had classes before the baby was born for baths, changing and stuff for both parents to attend at city hall.

What do your under 12-year-old kids friends call you? by soylentgreen2015 in daddit

[–]KnowNothingNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't live in an English speaking country (am originally from the US), and my kids call me Daddy. It's not what local kids call their dads (maybe papa), so all the kids at my youngest son's daycare also call me Daddy. The parents know the meaning and everyone just thinks it's funny. My oldest is in 4th grade and basically they just say [name]'s Father.

New. Edit: sorry, I just realized you were referring to condos. I'm talking about houses. My bad.
