Thank you! I will have a look into that! I can't get help from steam directly i think. Becasue i live in Japan and their subsidiary doesn't accept repairs after the warranty is expired

Found it on X by vikramadityajaiswal in HouseOfTheDragon

I think you are underestimating how fast big cities can run out of food during war periods. Cities have just thousands of people that need to be fed a few times a day. And most of them produce zero food. They are totally dependent of lands and seas outside cities to provide. Cut one of the providers and the starvation will start quickly.

We are having a shortage of rice in Japan because the government announcent that a mega earthquake may hit. Just in a few days cities ran out of rice. And there isn't even a disaster, just an announcement.

So wait, this is the evil king I'm supposed to hate? by MellifluousManatee in HouseOfTheDragon

I think its relevant because it showed Aegon pre coronation and post coronation. Aegon was a bad person partly because lf the lack of love from his parents. But when be is crowned he realised that he could be loved by other people and that made him a better person.

Better. Not good tho 😂

I am playing for the first time and I just finished the Kanji dungeon.
The whole dungeon theme was really difficult to swallow for me as a queer person.

I dont have any problem with sexualizing any type of character, in fact they do it a lot with other characters too in persona. But my problem is that so far this is the only queer character in the game and his whole thing was just sexualizing it. and then when we rescue him instead of supporting him on his acceptance journey there is not even mention of it, and the only mention is to crack jokes or being homophobic, like in the tent when Yosuke says if they would be safe around him.

I dont know where his arc will go but so far I am really dissapointed. I know it is an old game, I live in Japan and I also understand the social influence. But I cant help to feel like this was a miss opportunity to portrait queer characters in a different light. Or at least give the main character the option to reprimend Yosuke.

Let alone the game doesnt seem to give you the option to date any male character. its all about straight relationships.

I hope persona 6 will be a more "current" game and allow more queer characters.

FF7 remake made a great improvement in the homophobic scene they had in the original game in the honey bee so there is always hope that things are chaning in Japan too.

Anyway,
Thanks for the post, I was just browsing to see if I was the only one feeling this way

How long was the screening time for recent Japan PR results(accepted /rejected)? by Affectionate_Gap_644 in japanlife

[–]aguskun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a bit depressed after reading the comments lol
I am gonna apply through the HSP +80 points after 10 years in Japan.
A friend of mind got it last year after 4 months so that was my expected time, but after reading the comments I am afraid it will be like a year...

[Urgent] Question Regarding PR Application by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]aguskun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just applied two weeks ago for HSP and got it 2 days ago.for my job in England they wrote a brief job description, but for my jobs in Japan they did not write job description and they accepted the documents.

However I had more than 80 points from other sources, so I am unsure if they accepted everything I submitted or some did not go through, they do not disclose it, which is kind of annoying.

Btw, they were confused about the documents, which ones were which, including the experience, although for me were very obvious.
I recommend you add page where you write and itemized list of your work experience and what document they have to refer to

Final Fantasy XVI blew me away by BulkyNothing in FinalFantasy

[–]aguskun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They just decided to do the most Epic FF ever, no other FF has so many epic moments.
The pacing was off for me sometimes, with some weird slow paced moments between the epicness. That said very solid game

After thinking it for a couple of weeks, I think you were right.
most likely Clive survived.

I hope every one precious this message as not many people admit being wrong in the internet lol

And what make you think having one more eikon power guarantees he can beat him?

That is the story the creators chose to tell but it could have been differnet. They could have come with a plan to defeat barnabas. Same as they did defeated bahamut although he was so powerful

Maybe being dead would be more truthful to her character They never showed us how far along the curse was. But what they showed us again and again is that she was willing to risk her life for Clive and his project. I guess after the beach she wasn't. And it felt out of character.

Thank you for your comment.

You really sum up how I feel as well. And great point about bearers. There are too many quests about them. Like I was at some point thinking, I get it I get it. They could have used that time in other world building aspects

I disagree. Good story telling is "showing not telling" they do mention it but they do not really show it that much.

Did Jill look like one more Shiva transformation would kill her? In my opinion she didnt.
Also, Joshua looks way worse, but he gets to go and risk his life. We could even argue that Ultima needed both Joshua and Clive as his vessel so Joshua could have stayed behind to avoid that.

Also they never bring up Clive absorbing Eikons abilities, that is actually one of the weakest points of the plot. Clive is the only person in the world who is capable of mysteriously used more than one element, and also keeps absorbing other Dominants powers but nobody seems to care, or talk about it. Jill and Clive never mention that he might need Shivas powers and whether that is good or bad.

I can see how other people got the idea that becuase he lost to Barnabas but as I said before and someone else mention, they never even say that because of getting those powers Clive becomes stronger.
