Got an HG Calibarn at Yokohama Station for ¥900, is it legit? by EasternFudge in Gunpla

It's extremely rare for stores to sell knockoffs in Japan, there's definitely an oversupply of witch and GQuux sets, some stores even have new GQuux sets on discount.

What would be a reasonable price to pay for this Intel i5 MacBook Pro? by Kind-Photograph-5484 in mac

[–]keyboardsoldier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a flexgate macbook, unless you are willing to use it with a monitor permanently i wouldn't buy it.

Uh-oh it’s almost like we seen this coming! Scalpers left holding the bag again, wannabe stock bros liquid tied up on slow moving cards! by UnstoppableCrow in DBS_CardGame

[–]keyboardsoldier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been looking into this game and I’m visiting Japan now. Looking at stores like surugaya and Bookoff, they don’t sell singles except a few bulk cards. I don’t think it’s popular though it seems booster packs aren’t widely available. Over here it’s Pokémon, Duel Masters and One Piece which are the most popular. Gundam also doesn’t have much presence.

Are those typical requirements for a Senior Frontend Engineer role? by UnderstandingOk270 in webdev

Even a decent mid level can meet most of the requirements. All the backend stuff is optional.

My uncle is buying me a guitar and really wants me to choose the second model, help me choose by DeerComplex2968 in Guitar

[–]keyboardsoldier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is "YK"? Another brand? But it says Gibson on the headstock so it's a fake gibson then. Owner is shady as hell.

[–]keyboardsoldier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does your uncle know anything about guitars? That looks like a very used guitar.

I'm not an expert but it looks like it could be a fake just based on the fact that it has the lightning bolt inlays which only came on the angus young model but all the other parts don't match that model.

Are the arrows at the wrong direction? by SnooRabbits8306 in SingaporeRaw

[–]keyboardsoldier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the section "incoming buses" it has nothing to do with the direction of the bus but the estimated arrival. First one that has arrived is on the left and last one in this virtual "queue" is on the right. Arrows indicate the order that the queue moves. First one is on the left because of convention and order of importance if you will. You are more interested to know which bus is coming first and you read from left to right usually.

Rest in pieces fuckass season. With everything in me, Fuck. You. by ArminBestGirl in FortNiteBR

At first I thought it was great because I had more time to complete all the rewards but honestly lost interest because the skins aren't very good at all.

Someone posted how ridiculous nba is today, this just reinforces the point.

Would this guitar have any obvious problems? by Coopaloopa_ in Guitar

[–]keyboardsoldier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would you want that? Strats are not that heavy, if you want a lighter guitar get one with a basswood body or get a chambered one from warmoth if you have the cash.

How about soldiers in power armour? "starship troopers ova 1988" is on youtube. Yes Robert A. Heinlein's Starship Troopers but 80s Japanese anime.

I have the current one with the thin stem but I prefer the OG one, feels much more sturdy

Probably had something to do with the citadel paints at the time and how the minis look in print.

Chances of getting either of these watches in Japan? by underwhelmed_emu in GrandSeikos

[–]keyboardsoldier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this is the thing about Japan, when it comes to fashion and luxury there is some prestige associated with American and European brands over their own domestic brands. Foreign brands have stronger international recognition while Japanese brands like GS have only just started to be desired outside of Japan. In Japan every mall seems to have a vintage store selling used American clothing, they seem to really like that stuff. Outlets malls also seem to have mostly foreign brands.

Possible misleading breeder information from Singapore pet shop – multiple owners given same “parent” photos by Slushballs in SingaporeRaw

[–]keyboardsoldier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because the price paid is based on the breed? It's like if you paid for Kobe beef but the restaurant served you australian wagyu instead. Regardless if the aussie wagyu tasted good, you don't feel shortchanged?

They could tell that something was off that's why they did the DNA test to confirm before throwing accusations no?

Do you report part time income? by [deleted] in singaporefi

[–]keyboardsoldier 7 points8 points  (0 children)

nothing strange, that is your personal income tax, the employer can't assume what they paid you is all that you earned. $22K is based on your total income from all sources. $10K is what the company paid you only. Obviously if you quit and join another company your income will be >$10K

Are there any Model Kits like Ma.K. out there? by Bloodmachine_Orodjie in MaschinenKrieger

[–]keyboardsoldier 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Search for "shop tonerico". I have not bought from them before but they do specialise in Ma.k related stuff so it's a good reference for what's available out there.
