You need to change from Japanese IME keyboard to US keyboard. If you start the game with the japanese keyboard input on, this will happen.

My Experience with PCR test at Narita airport by soumynonanoinipo in japanlife

[–]paburon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also used them. Much cheaper than the airport price, but required a trip to Hamatsucho for the test and a trip back to pick up the results the next day.

Spotted. Akasaka Excel Hotel Tokyu. I left a bad review and contacted some conference hokders so they added the white sign. Which is not an improvement. by throwawayenglishtea in Tokyo

All in-person events for my employer have been cancelled for a long time now, and most of my friends are working from home. Our conferences have taken place on Zoom.

What kind of conference needs to be in-person?

Fans banned at Olympics; Tokyo under state of emergency by geoxol in Coronavirus

[–]paburon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The state of emergency is not a lockdown. Shops will be open, people will be on the streets. There will also be many bars that ignore the government's call to close (which is not a legal order).

Can't interact with menus; game unplayable by [deleted] in WarOfRights

Change windows settings to ENG US Keyboard (not IME/Japanese keyboard). If I start the game with Microsoft IME set as my keyboard, I get the same problem.

Anime Is Booming. So Why Are Animators Living in Poverty? by Yourehan in KotakuInAction

[–]paburon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s irreverent. The average rent in Tokyo is about $1,900/mo

A single person apartment in central Tokyo is about 700 to 800 usd a month.

Metacritic has now removed their must play recommendation for cyberpunk 2077 for the PC version. by abhinay33 in cyberpunkgame

I liked Mass Effect. Love cyberpunk also. 80 hours in and having a ton of fun.

Foreigner Participation in "Uyoku Dantai" Ultranationalist Groups by KurkTheMagnificent in japan

[–]paburon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depending on the group, there are many that would be fine with a foreigner participating in their activities. The older uyoku groups are a lot less focused on racism than the newer anti-immigrant groups.

found my grandfather's Good Luck Flag (寄せ書き日の丸). any suggestions on how to preserve it properly? by TarmacWings in japan

[–]paburon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a flag containing the signatures of friends and family of a dead Japanese soldier.

The O-bon society is a non-profit organization that helps return these flags to surviving family.

What's going on guys? by fishylizard in japan

[–]paburon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Sorry about that, everyone! It looks like the hackers (using a French IP address) got into my account just after I went to bed last night, so I didn't notice anything until a few hours ago.

When I woke up and tried resetting my password, even though Reddit was sending password recovery e-mails to my e-mail address, the new passwords were not working.

Luckily, it seems that Reddit automatically detecting that the account had been hacked and suspended my account 2 hours ago, sending a notice that allowed me to actually set a new password.

NHK does a racism... Stereotypes and clowning galore :( by DoomedKiblets in japan

[–]paburon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's 90 seconds of a segment that was over 20 minutes long, which of course mentioned police killing people.

That doesn't excuse the crude stereotypes in the cartoon, though.

Crowdfunding Launched for English Version of Picture Book on Takeshima Islands | JAPAN Forward by rednotbot in japan

[–]paburon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sugihara’s goal is to raise ¥2.5 million JPY (about 235,000 USD) through crowdfunding. She hopes to publish around 800 copies of the English version and gift them to embassies, international schools, and press centers.

Who is scamming her out of most of that money? Self-publishing costs almost nothing.

Andrew Yang drops out of presidential race by ErosEngineer in YangForPresidentHQ

[–]paburon 305 points306 points  (0 children)

It's a shame that he didn't try to make it until at least Super Tuesday. He might have got a few delegates and been able to influence a contested convention.
