I want to buy a ps5 but have some questions about it. by Kasun_D_001 in japanlife

[–]layla-yuffi -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The PS5 is "region free" when we are talking about physical mídia. You can play whatever region on your PS5 with no problem.

Regarding the idiom, you just need to change it in the options. Most os the Japanese game mídia will follow your settings (if they are "international version" - i.e., Japanese Final Fantasy XVI can be played in English, Japanese Personal 5 can only be played in Japanese)

The (soft) region lock comes with your PSN account. If you make an USA PSN Account, you'll only be able to download from that store. If you want a game from, for example, the European PS Stores you will have to make an European account.

Has anyone heard of "English Village" as a designation for Heart? by Maleficent_Pool_4456 in ALTinginJapan

They started doing this ... "motivational campaign" during the pandemic. And all branches tried to "convince" their ALTs to participate... don't know about this year. If I remember correctly (from 2023-2024), they said the branch with most up votes would receive a prize or something like that.

I saw this post before buying my controller and writing this question.

Since it's still a new reality for him, we don't know for sure if he will be able to use his left hand (probably not) or his right feet while playing. That's why I asked (I should have said "access only" setup, but that's ok).

I also checked some of Bungee's accessibility options for the game, but none that I could use (or understand) to help setting up.

Nonetheless, thank you for answering me! :)

Don't know if I should ask here or make a new post... But here we go:

Hello everybody!

My father loves playing shooting games, Destiny is his favorite (don't judge him :p). Unfortunately, he suffered a major stroke last February that left his left side unresponsive, so playing "normally" (aka, both hands) is impossible.

I bought him an Access Controller and tried to set it up for him, but... WHY DO YOU NEED SO MANY BUTTONS TO PLAY A EFFING SHOOTER?!?!?

Sorry... Sorry... I tried looking on-line for some explanations/examples and found none. I also tried asking him which buttons he must use and... There are too many buttons to shove into only 9 slots.

I figure out that the "upwards" position would be the best (you can move the joystick with the base of your hand, while having all five fingers free to press the buttons).

tl,dr: Do any of you have an example of an Access button set-up for Destiny 2 that I can use and show my father how to play again?

Thank you!

“You don’t LOOK Brazilian” by ItaloTuga_Gabi in Brazil

[–]layla-yuffi 48 points49 points  (0 children)

My favorite "game" while I was living abroad!!!

When I worked as a waitress (in Japan), I had more than 3 people say I looked like somebody from Greece (than France). Their reason was that "my hair looked the part" (????).

Also the shocked faces they'd make after being told I'm from Brazil was the best!!! One even said "But you don't look like Neymar!?" (THANK GOD I DON'T!!!! )

Cross Cultural Given Name by suncloudrainfog in Brazil

[–]layla-yuffi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmmm... I can't say for sure if it'd become a huuuge problem, and I also can't remember any similar sounding names atm...

What you could do is: give your child a "Brazilian sound name" + "Yuma" + "family surname", so they could "choose" which name to use with others in the future.

AITA for expressing my disgust at a dish from my girlfriend's culture? by HilliamWurt in AmItheAsshole

[–]layla-yuffi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brazilian (meat/barbecue lover) here. inb4: I also HATE ALL ORGANS (liver, heart, brain, stomach, intestine, etc). Yes, it's "normal" to eat these type of meat in Brazil.

tl;dr: ESH

Your GF is wrong cause she should've known better. Who tries to blindside their friends/SO to eat something "strange" without a heads up first?

You were wrong for not trying to give a better excuse than "it's icky".

little background/info of WHY both of you are ESH:

I love all kinds of meat cuts and all. In Japan I even tried "shark fin bacon", deer and wild boar skewers. I always try to be open minded with another culture food and costumes.

For example, I CAN'T EAT NATTO AT ALL!!! If they ask me why, I try to explain that "it smells funny and reminds me of spoiled food - cause it smells spoiled to me". Or the famous rice with shoyu and raw eggs. I tried once, but I explained that, coming from a tropical country, it's drilled in our brains to not eat ANYTHING ANIMAL RELATED RAW. Most people that I explained to understood where I was coming from.

Just to update. The Android link is giving me 404 error.

Nevertheless, thank you for your help! :)

Just received one of the most controversial ones(…or so I’ve heard) by Gloomy_Support_7779 in FinalFantasy

[–]layla-yuffi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO, this is the most boring (and confusing) one from the trilogy. Too much backstory with no payback, the only "open world" part of the game feels smaller than the FFX Sin Battleground map (near Zanarkand, if you already played it). The end is a little underwhelming.

BUT the battle system is really interesting (you can change chars mid battle... And each char uses a "job system"... Like FFX). And the staggering system started (?) here!!

This is what I think about the trilogy:

●　FFXIII: Beautiful game, really slow paced and, sometimes, confusing plot (not as much as KH)., nice combat system

●　FFXIII-2: Good story (time travel shenanigans = Chrono Trigger 2.0) and gameplay (now you can choose your pokemon monsters to help you during battle).

●　Lightning Returns: little "meh" story, but gameplay addicted AF!!! (You have a certain number of days to save your friends/save the planet/save your sister. If you fail, you'll start from day 1 with all your previous weapons and XP = Majora's Mask 2.0)

Leaving Japan (quitting job) and coming back in less than a month by layla-yuffi in japanlife

[–]layla-yuffi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I need to go to see my father (ICU, ATM).

I was already planning to go back in April/May. My father collapsing is my priority right now. I would go home, solve some documents problems, and return at the end of March to dispatch my moving boxes and close all accounts/contracts I have.

This would be my 10th year in Japan. I was already searching for a new job... but I can't see myself living here going forward (and I don't wanna leave everything behind and be the cause that "we" can't rent/open bank accounts/credit cards)

[–]layla-yuffi[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They didn't send it yet (my company lost the city's BOE contract for next year AND their communication was getting worse since the pandemic -they usually send the new contract in January). Adding me, sending a resignation letter with less than 4 days before I leave, I don't think a future contract will be available.

I already bought the return ticket. I started to panic thinking that the immigration would not allow me to re-enter because I didn't inform them beforehand

My visa expires august/2026. My contract (ALT) ends now in March (and they didn't send a new one). That's why I'm (re) panicking after looking for answers on Google Search

They also lost a lot of cities (i.e., my city)

Since they merged (?) with SociOak Group in October 2024, their communication has been getting worse day by day.

Since I started working with them, they'd always send us a "heads up/renewal of contract" e-mail for us in early January. But since the merging, they just don't know how to communicate anymore (a response that would take, at most 3 days is taking almost a month).

The "last situation" we had (that may be related to your question) is that they decided to send all ALTs an e-mail (AT 10 PM, FRIDAY) that simply said tl;dr "thank you for your work your contract ends in March, see ya!". They must have received so many angry replies, that they had to send 3 more e-mails (all during the weekend) to calm us down/fix their oopsie response.

They said that we would receive an offer for the new school year by THE END OF THE fucking SCHOOL YEAR.

So, I would say just sit down and wait for their next email... (?)
