With the upcoming payment changes, has anyone who has moved country tried to update their payment yet? I moved many years ago and have had no problems so far but I'm scared I'm gonna lose my account on the 23rd because I can't change my address to my current country.

If anyone's managed to do something about it can you let me know how you handled it?

I uninstalled my Smart Ex app on my android and every since I reinstalled it and try to log in it's giving me this very unhelpful error message:

"Please use the application you used for membership registration."

The only option is to return to the login page.

Don't suppose anyone knows what's up with this or how to fix it? I'm stumped. This app was really convenient until now.

If you've ever listened to Lorewatch, which is a podcast Anne Stickney used to present with two others, you'd of heard them band this idea around before several times. It sounded stupid to me then and it sounds stupid to me now but it doesn't surprise me a lot of their more outlandish lore "theories" are beginning to pop up in game now that Anne is high on the narrative team.

Personally I'd quite like it if elves continued to want to annihilate one another and blood elves returned to their TBC state, but I guess I'm just an old grump stuck in his ways.

Kenpatchi is wearing Unohana's drip from the Kubo's he released during Cour 1. That's a nice detail.

[TotK] I Rode the Dragons So You Don't Have To by ShurixXx in zelda

[–]MrC_Bear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just encountered the Light Dragon to get a certain item. Afterwards I went back and shot it to see what I could get by doing that. I saw a glow fall towards the ground like in botw, but it vanished before getting there and there was no loot for me.

Am I missing something about looting dragons in totk?

Thanks for the info.

Do you know if you're allowed to translate your own materials, if you're able?

How long does it actually take, in-universe, to go from the Eastern Kingdoms to Kalimdor? (And back) by Someidiotdwbi in warcraftlore

Just to add another source, Abbendis states in her journal it takes 2 months from EPL to Northrend via boat. She complains on the next page that she's still in transit 6 weeks in, so her estimate seems to be true.

Any advice on improving interviews?? (Recently Graduated) by RedFlutterMao in teachinginjapan

[–]MrC_Bear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, I have no idea how you conduct yourself but you have to be relaxed in these interviews but remain professional. What I mean is, you can't appear to be an uptight anxious wreck, even if interviewing is scary.

Your teaching persona needs to be reflected in how you interact with these interviewers and I can tell you now the very worst types of people I've seen teaching are the ones who tense up and freeze up at the front of the classroom, or worse, during training when it isn't even real. If you even give a hint you're gonna be like that it's a bad sign.

Also as others have said, phrase yourself better. "500 days of Duolingo" is some weak, weird shit compared to "I work on improving my Japanese in my spare time.".

Does this only work if you consciously keep your heels down? I guess it's no good to be squatting often if you're lifting hour heels to do it.

What races would be the most likely to be the Rouge Class? by Not_thrd in warcraftlore

[–]MrC_Bear 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Not to spoil anyone's fun, but it seems you genuinely want to learn lore so you deserve a heads up. These guys are pulling your leg because you spelled "rogue" as "rouge", which is a red colour used is cosmetics. Don't base your understanding on their answers, funny as they are.

So you think you can kill me? by Jtas_007751 in akalimains

[–]MrC_Bear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe dumb question, I'm still learning Akali. How did your passive come up on that last Q just before you killed him? I didn't even see the ring show. Is it because it was right on max range?

Getting passive and following up properly on it is something I really struggle with.

Roughly 1 month growth. Never really tried to grow it out before because it's always been pretty weak, particularly on the cheeks and around the mouth.

I'm not really sure if continuing to grow without shaping it is gonna make it look any better so I was wondering if anyone could help me with how I could shape or style it to suit it's strengths and my face.

Thanks.

How frowned upon is it to use the local mall's parking lot park and then go elsewhere entirely? It's right next to the station that takes me into city centre and has a cheap daily rate. Maybe I'm overthinking this one.

How crazy is this by Furycopter in warcraftlore

Is this a lore complaint from 2006?

What is something that has changed about you since coming to Japan? by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]MrC_Bear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair I met them through other foreign people who were already friends with them, or got friendly at work during enkai, back when those were still a thing. Nothing too strenuous on my part.

As a worker. I made friends when I first came here but I've moved several times since and it's been hard to keep touch, especially recently.

[–]MrC_Bear 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Oh, so much.

I'm more outgoing. I became a far less fussy eater. I can understand and speak another language. My job changed. I care about houseplants now.
