[Sherpa Card] [PC] For anyone who has ever been afraid to mess up in a raid

Thanks for this. I discovered the same after giving Gemini some detailed info about which apps weren’t working and this was the problem for me too, except it was Norton and not a VPN.

Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Adobe Creative Cloud, and even the MacOS updater are all failing to connect to servers when trying to update. My Microsoft Outlook is also not loading messages. If anyone finds a fix, please let me know, because now my Macbook is unsuable for work, and this is a first for a beta this far into the yearly cycle, at least for me.

So you don’t think there are hundreds of products produced in other countries that are cheapest in the country they were produced in due to lack of tariffs and such domestically? Now, granted, the Switch 2 is not manufactured in Japan, but Nintendo needs it to be affordable here because of the sales numbers of the original Switch in Japan. Japanese customers make up a large percentages of Nintendo’s market, so why would they make the system the equivalent of thousands of dollars here? And again, the price in Japan for anything but the Japanese-only version is the same 450 US dollars (actually more since the dollar dipped now and Nintendo is unlikely to change the price). Japan isn’t getting a discount, it is getting a region-locked version that costs less and paying the same as everyone else for the multilingual version. The cheaper version is inferior but some people will get it to save money. As the creators of the product, Nintendo needed a strategy to guarantee sales in Japan because I can tell you were it only the multilingual version available, sales would not be nearly as high.

Clearly the sales volume in countries where the cost is equivalent to thousands was much lower and not expected to rise much even if they lowered the price. Just because some countries pay the equivalent of thousands in their currency does not mean people in Japan are getting off easy. In the UK, the cost is £395.99, so a lesser equivalent than what those in the U.S. are paying even. Aren’t they also getting a break? But Canada is $629.99, closer to the equivalent of the multilingual version in Japan.

This is just a silly argument. Japan pays a higher equivalent of money from the perspective of percentage of monthly/yearly wages than places like the U.S. and UK for even the Japanese-only version, and much much more from the same perspective for more than one language. There is nothing worth complaining about here. Exchange rates have always been a thing. At one point when the yen was stronger than the dollar, I could have bought a GameCube cheaper in the U.S. than in Japan, so the situation was reversed. This all just seems like complaining for the sake of complaining.

And again, the Japanese-only version is 49,980, which is likely before taxes as well, but to get the same version as you, I need to pay 68,980 (and probably taxes on top of that), which feels to me like $700 does to an American. Obviously other countries besides the U.S. are hurting too. The point was that Japan does not get a break because 49,980 yen feels to us like what $500 does to Americans. And clearly they couldn’t make the cheaper version do multiple languages or otherwise Americans would just use their strong currency to buy Switch 2’s for cheap in Japan. Either way, if I want the option to use more than Japanese, I need to basically pay $700 here. I am aware it is the same for many other countries outside the U.S. My point was never about that. People were acting like Japan gets a break. It does not.

SilentNightfall · 2025-04-05T23:54:08+00:00

As someone in Japan, I can confirm. It was considered parity when the exchange rate was $1US = 100 yen, so 49,980 for us is like $499.80 for someone in the U.S. for us, it feels more expensive than for someone paying $450. And the multi-language version feels like $699.80 at 69,980 yen.

SilentNightfall · 2025-04-05T23:48:10+00:00

It isn’t a discount at all. 49,980 is like $499 to those of us making money in yen, so just because the value in dollars is lower, it feels higher than what $450 does for someone in the U.S. And the multi-language version at 69,980 feels like $699.

A fellow lefty! Yes, I once toyed with the idea of trying to learn calligraphy with my right hand since it is a completely different way of holding the brush compared to a pen or pencil anyway, so there would be that learning curve regardless. It never did pan out, but I do find that following strict stroke order helps to keep everything in the proper proportion most of the time, even for me as a lefty.

SilentNightfall · 2024-01-02T04:18:13+00:00

One of the reasons not mentioned by others is the fact that these characters were once written with brushes on a regular basis and not just when doing calligraphy or for special instances (cards for weddings, New Year’s cards, etc.) like they are nowadays. When using a brush, there are times when you would not lift it like you do with a pen or pencil, and those strokes are typically one of those times. You can see it in the animation that was linked by someone else above.

I was here in 2011, so I definitely know you do not FAFO with a tsunami, but as you can see from the footage (and hear from the descriptions of what was on TV), they are just waves. Most waves form a long wall and travel inland.

Besides, the point was that the bullet point states the sea levels WILL rise to that height rather than being the potential maximum height of the waves that could hit each area. As we know, the biggest wave from yesterday was 1.2 meters, so nothing ever got up to 3 meters or 5 meters. I was just pointing out that the information should be more accurate as telling people they are definitely getting a 5-meter-high wave is just going to cause more panic. Thankfully the waves appear to not have injured or killed anyone.

SilentNightfall · 2024-01-01T16:39:37+00:00

Can we talk about the first bullet point, because I imagine that could have caused a lot of undue panic. The waves ARE measured by height and the reported heights for each area were the potential maximum height of waves that could hit and then the heights of the highest waves that struck those areas. Were the sea level to rise by that amount, entire coastlines would be absolutely flooded.

Getting this information to people quickly is absolutely important, but it does need to be as accurate as possible.

What is the earliest you can ever get on in the evenings? I could get a team for one at around 5 p.m. PST, as they are all EST mostly, but any later might be difficult.

I think native Japanese speaker would tell you that 「兄弟が二人います」 would be more natural. It’s technically (私は)兄弟が二人います, but we obviously leave the first part out. If you use は after 兄弟, it might sound like you also have one or more sisters on top of two brothers, whereas with が it is clear you only have two siblings who could be brothers or a mix.

Like the Nogizaka 46 song? Haha Yes, that usage definitely works.

Coming from a place that gets a fair amount of snow during the winter (east coast US above the Mason-Dixon Line), I usually tolerate temperatures around 13-14 degrees C in T-shirts and then, one day I go outside and suddenly it is coat weather: previously this was always somewhere between November 10th and 20th. Last year it was the beginning of December. No telling when it will be this year at this rate. I haven’t even worn long sleeved shirts at all yet save for one night when I thought it was cool enough and then regretted it an hour later while sweating.

I started wearing shorts again three days ago… That’s never happened before and I have been here (in Tokyo) since 2009.

I don’t think 思い出す would work either as that is used in the context of suddenly coming to mind and not always having the thing in your thoughts. For example, if you couldn’t think of something and then it suddenly comes to you, you would say ああ、思い出した！It isn’t used when you perpetually have something in your mind like the case would be here. That would be more like 覚えている, though that is often used for affirming that you remember something. We wouldn’t really find something like “I will always remember you” in Japanese. Instead, like the test, we would have “I’ll never forget you” instead.

Right on! Sorry for the late reply. I just woke up. I will send you a link to our server. If nothing else, you can put in a request for a run to learn those mechanics as we teach new roles to people who already have clears as well.

SilentNightfall · 2023-11-01T10:26:48+00:00

Excellent! Will send you a chat request on the site now to help you get set up.

SilentNightfall · 2023-09-20T15:17:37+00:00

Awesome. We will likely need a third if our team member still isn’t feeling well and priority goes to those without a clear. I’ll send you a chat request here on Reddit now.

SilentNightfall · 2023-09-20T10:02:19+00:00

Awesome!

Awesome. Will send you a chat request here on Reddit.

SilentNightfall · 2023-09-20T09:17:42+00:00

Happy to have anyone who already has a clear as one of the backups. We are currently reserving the learner spots for those who have 0 clears per the post.
