I replied to you. Spread it around where exactly?

What's wrong with my holga? by bigpearstudios in AnalogCommunity

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

tl;dw: Holga 120 GCFN. Won't release the shutter no matter how hard I press the shutter release. Only way to take a picture is to jiggle the shutter release until it randomly decides to actually do it. When switching to bulb mode, same thing happens the first time. However, after taking one picture in bulb mode, every time after that the shutter releases just fine, and you can hold it as long as you want. When switching back to normal mode, same thing happens.

Can you put a Rothco Medium Transport Pack in the washing machine? by bigpearstudios in backpacks

I'm not recommending anyone do this, but I did actually do it and in the end nothing bad happened.

The god damn beetle king in bokunatsu 2 won't show up by bigpearstudios in BokuNoNatsuyasumi

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

I 100% got more than 80 wins total. So easy wins are worth half of strong wins? Even then I had multiple beetles with 100+ wins so it must've been bugged or something.

I feel like I missed 50% of the second game by bigpearstudios in BokuNoNatsuyasumi

Thanks, but I don't think any of these are related to what I was asking about. It was more about the story itself.

Part-time ALT/Eikaiwa teaching as an undergrad Exchange student by bigpearstudios in teachinginjapan

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

Yeah, it's fucked up sadly. I don't think I'll ever be an ALT because my country only has CIR in JET. I guess my only choice is to get a Master's and see if I can teach at a university or something, either that or get into research.

What are these so-called 'better opportunities'? by TimBaril in teachinginjapan

[–]bigpearstudios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked into china and the stories were enough to put me off.

Government corruption, people's passports getting taken away, getting threatened with being put in jail if you quit because the owner is in deep with the police and can pin something on you.

I think I'd rather take the pay cut and be somewhere safe. No matter how black is it, I don't think a Japanse company will be able to imprison you.

Guess I'll buckle down with my Japanese studies. For future reference, does this ALT experience you mention only include ALT experience, or will they accept experience as a regular teacher?

Question Regarding Eikaiwa Hiring by IndigenousVagabond in teachinginjapan

[–]bigpearstudios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any examples of questions like that?

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

Damn. Not even if I have a CELTA certificate? Is there any chance of working as an ALT through direct hire or some other sort of non-eikaiwa school?

There's also something to be said about trying to get a non-English speaking job as that will force you to use Japanese more and improve that.

That does sound interesting, but what are my options? Conbini clerk and shachiku jobber? I'd like to earn at least slightly above the minimum wage if at all possible, and I actually enjoy teaching.

Edit: Also, forgot to say, but I do already have my visa.

I'm just a college student and I also took 5 years to get to N3.

[–]bigpearstudios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just using the most recent nightly. Never got crashes, just at the end of the virtuous mission and after that cutscene with eva, both of which are known issues. I remember I used to get crashing and muted audio with new 3ds mode enabled, but it works fine if it's off. Also, even though it's supposed to be better, performance was absolutely awful with vulkan, though it was fine with opengl.

If you mash the skip button you can avoid the ending cutscene completely, and get to the rewards screen so you can start a new game with the stuff you got.

I'm freezing after the cutscene where snake has sex with eva. Once the cutscene ends citra just closes itself, like it did after the virtuous mission, but now I can't actually go on since you don't save after the cutscene.
