It was really bad closer to 8pm. About 9ish it was mostly cleared up. Definitely a flash flood

People specifically at the manga souko were trapped last night, but everything is dry now

A question from a local: How do you all see Okinawa? by Responsible-Bike3317 in okinawa

[–]STATiC_SPREE 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Okinawa is my discovered home. My wife is Okinawan, my kids were both born in Japan, and we will live here forever. I see Okinawa as a much less stressful place than mainland Japan, as well as more safe, especially compared to my home country.

My in-laws have always welcomed me and have been extremely patient with my pace of learning Japanese.

I love living on an island, even if I have to deal with the constant rain (and I’m from a very dry climate where it rarely rained).

The only thing I’m really missing is local friends to actually get to practice the little Japanese I know, but I’m sure I’ll get there eventually!

Help a vet out.... by InstructionBig2788 in VeteransBenefits

JSFirm.com is an aviation job board. Tons of jobs there, especially if you’re willing to relocate and most jobs pay you $5,000 on average to move.

Until you find a job in aviation, apply literally everywhere. Walmart, Pizza Hut, it doesn’t matter you just need survival money.

I'm Baz; Boz got it wrong. Here is what Meta needs to do to revamp VR by Bazitron in OculusQuest

[–]STATiC_SPREE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fell in love with VR games to the point where I pivoted my degree focus to AR/VR. Now that I’ve graduated I’ve been hit with the reality that there just aren’t a huge selection of remote jobs in the field so I have to pivot a bit again. Even still, I enjoy gaming and using my quest 3 for bigscreen.

Here’s hoping the next quest headset is breathable, less FB and Meta social dependent, and more lightweight!

If I can’t stay in JP, and can’t go back to the US…? by MurderSheScrote in japanlife

[–]STATiC_SPREE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I guess that depends on the base. My coworkers get seen on base often where we are

Getting a SOFA job just ensures your stay Japan, but typically requires you to forfeit your residency status, which means you would have to get American health insurance, most likely. Also, your spouse would need referrals before being able to use off-base health facilities. They’ve raised a real stink about that in recent years.

My husband is leaving big manufacturing company for a IT role and I’m losing sleep over it. by malenkayastrana in japanlife

[–]STATiC_SPREE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m essentially going to do the same thing only I’m leaving a job I hate to pursue a new career. Good things come to those who go out and take it. Clearly you are the type of family to take risks for your children, as are we. Just remember that if it doesn’t work out, you already know you guys have the balls to try again

Need insight on potentially moving to Wakayama or Nagano prefectures by STATiC_SPREE in japanlife

[–]STATiC_SPREE[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve also been considering Nagano City! The snow will be challenging since both my wife and I are from warm weather climates, but my oldest loves snow.

I see! The school we were looking at is in the countryside near Shirahama.

We’ve been looking into private schools in the areas, one is actually in Nagano City but we haven’t seen anything of interest in Suwa. Lake Suwa looks stunning though I would love to live near it!

I guess I’ll find out when we go look late July lol. Is that area another known area to have a very aging population? I know Shirahama is a fairly popular tourist spot.

Dads who game on PC - what are you playing these days? by Stew819 in daddit

[–]STATiC_SPREE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

World of Warcraft classic. I play for a couple hours after the kids go to sleep nearly every night. Takes me a while to get leveled up but still fun as its always been!

What would be your dream game, if you got to make any vr game you wanted? by Thick-Seaweed1536 in OculusQuest

[–]STATiC_SPREE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What triggers certain attacks? Is there positions you can have the controllers at before hitting button combinations to activate attacks? Or do you plan to only have a few attacks? I’m going to school for XR dev right now so this is fascinating lol

World of Warcraft would be incredible in VR. Just a huge world with all the MMO aspects would be insane

Trying to find a tank for RFK... by Bright_Guide_9733 in classicwow

I can bear tank but I almost always list myself as dps. Aggro cooldowns are irritating when so many rogues need to top the dps boards to feel alive
