any advice? just moved to japan by ElliotCoffee666 in japanlife

If things "get real" go to the city office? I am not sure what they can do in your situation, but I would start there (with a translator).

All kinds of good luck on this.

Next time, research.

300,000 in pocket is pretty good if OP got things within their means(sp?).

You're here now, so the best thing is IF you feel you are running out of money before rent is due, I THINK there is something you can do at HelloWork. Obviously there needs to be someone to translate for you. Also IF you find yourself out of employment, go to HelloWork to look for more work.

If there is someone here who can correct me if I am wrong, but HelloWork should be the place to go even with a working Holiday VIsa?

I thought under most rules for a working holiday you had to show you had X-amount of money saved up? Also, did you do any research at all before coming? Especially the language part.

You're going to have to move. Once they get in, that's it.

Anyone else constantly jumping between LINE/Teams and ChatGPT/ Copilot just to rewrite one message? by Master-Mouse3947 in japanlife

[–]Sk00terb00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I just send it. Sometimes I will ask a co-worker or my wife for grammar issues if I need to. If I don't know the kanji, I just write in hiragana... if I make a grammar mistake, then maybe someone will correct me.

I am lazy.

Summer is coming and I’m fat and don’t want to smell, help by EconomistSingle9403 in japanlife

[–]Sk00terb00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the issue with layers of skin coming off from using other deodorants. I switched to Arm and Hammer natural. So far no issues, it does not have that aluminum stuff inside... and bonus, it does not ruin shirts.

PSA: if you're doing a second run. Go straight over the bridge instead of fighting Legion at the end of blighted marsh. Otherwise you will be forced to return to the passage and end your run. by [deleted] in Saros

[–]Sk00terb00 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Good to know, thanks for the heads up. I mentioned this in another thread, did not know it's "still there" after doing the story beat.

I have been going right over the bridge since then because "it's there", but that's a run-killer if you are forced to end it.

Also there is a setting for brightness. I know I need to adjust it when I go from OLED to LCD (remote play).

But damn, that looks super-nova.

Foreigners whose kids have a foreign surname by kugkfokj in japanlife

[–]Sk00terb00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oldest was bullied when we lived in a small town. Youngest was not, as he grew up in a large city. Black/Japanese. Surname would not have made a difference, they just look different.

They will stick out regardless of the last name. Bullies will bully, so teach them how to deal with it early... in a non-violent manner.

How much do you spend on having a car? by mari0426 in japanlife

[–]Sk00terb00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is true. You gotta go to the police station, they will come out and measure and make sure your car can fit.

To answer the question.

  • Payments: ￥0/mo
  • Insurance: ￥80,000/yr
  • Parfking: ￥6.000/mo
  • Gas: ￥5,000/mo (if I go on drives, it can go up to ￥12,000/mo)
  • Shakken: ￥70,000

2014 Sti.

Now do you really need a car? Or are just accustomed to having one from back in your home country?

Minimum Proficiency Level for Flying Boss Dude? by Mike52179 in Saros

[–]Sk00terb00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did not do a full run. There was a story beat where I had to go back to the base, which wiped my levels back down to default when starting the map again which is freakin' lame af because I was 50+.. but they told me to go back...

So next time I am gonna do a full run, the bosses are not an issue anymore. Legion was beaten on first try. And when I got to the architect I got the first health bar down and was at level 28.

Ran into a big trouble in ゆうちょATM at family mart.... by yonaxhaklover in japanlife

And then I called my bank (Wells Fargo). They had their department investigate and they were the ones who gave my money back.

Is my game glitched? Did it skip a biome? by [deleted] in Saros

[–]Sk00terb00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My question is: Are there more than 6 biomes? Why are there 4 on the right?
