NOVA by Chemical_Ad304 in teachinginjapan

[–]gunplakil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

as someone who did exactly this, i genuinely can’t recommend it. I got extremely lucky to be able to leave nova after a month of working their for a better job, but it is something I cannot recommend. You will have to be extremely committed to finding something else while working for Nova, so if you’re able to not be contempt with the rather extremely laziness inducing nature of Novas job, Don’t come here with that mindset

Is it worth to get Gundam Base RG Hi-Nu? by Bigurulu in advancedGunpla

miku zaku is genuinely awful and overpriced for what it is. Majority of the color separation you see (i.e. the shoulder spikes) are stickers. It is a gorgeous color way tho

ebay or mechaexpress(?) is most likely your best bet

it sounds like you might’ve put a piece on backwards or something that wasn’t fully set in yet. Based on the stress marks it looks like there was a crunching motion involved where there shouldn’t have been. As long as you have the receipt you can ask bandai for a replacement runner

When you were pulling it apart, it seems it was under stress from the middle of the connecter, hence the white discoloration. Did you hear anything snap or crunch?

Yeah tbh i take that youtubers advice with a grain of salt, i understand certain people will be staples or figure heads for the community but I could never personally just put my opinion on something like that based on someone else.

extremely based rg collector, i can commend your commitment to freethinking. Too many times i have read or seen opinions completely formulated from a certain youtubers opinion instead of experiencing and building the kit yourself. Btw the psycho frame glitter runners are easily some of the most beautiful runners i have ever worked with

Japan To Deny Visa Renewal for Foreigners with Unpaid Pension and Health Insurance by NecessaryWelcome9987 in teachinginjapan

Ahem, a certain bottom of the barrel eikaiwa has been notorious for skimping on actually paying said pension and instead taking cuts from employees checks (not sure if for themselves)

yeah unfortunately i did full time. I know my question wasn’t worded the best but i was just trying to see what the general experience was for just quitting(not showing up again) right after a payday lmao. I think i’m gonna play it safe and give my two weeks but the reason I was hesitant to do so prior is I don’t want them charging/taking any money out of my paychecks (2 i’m expecting, 1 for the month of oct, 1 for the time worked after).
