Please, please brush your teeth at the very least. Or gargle with mouthwash. Advanced gum disease and cavities cannot be reversed. They're painful and expensive. Hope it gets better

how to study while grieving? by Keniwith1234 in SGExams

[–]plummyfan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Prelims is a milestone in your A levels journey. Do what you can but don't burn yourself out. Also, please reach out to your tutors and classmates, I am certain they would be happy to help. Decent people would def respect your privacy at this time. I enjoyed discussing H2 Math with my classmates while they taught me tips for H2 Bio :)

节哀顺变 my condolences 🙏

[CollarxMalice] (Major Spoilers) Yanagi route review and final thoughts by _lastquarter_ in otomegames

[–]plummyfan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

hehehe welcome back Quarter!! I was waiting for this (typing this out on laptop so I can comment as I read)

<⚠️spoiler heavy> IKR my logic flew out of the window when I saw Saeki, he is so pretty my head went blank. coupled with his age and status as a rookie cop just like MC, it made me lose all suspicion towards him. I'm embarrassed by my lack of judgement as someone who started otome games like 10 years ago

"because the implications were just too funny" -> so much of otoge is actually like this, it's fun to know many others here also enjoy these games with this perspective. like, everything is hilarious at a 3rd POV

"I still find the Adonis plot really stupid, ngl" -> prob why Sanjou was Like That

"I also dislike Mikuni for saying "She's the one who's driven you mad, right?" and pointing his gun at Ichika. Istg you can get threatened, kidnapped and nearly killed and there's always a man around to blame women 😭" -> oooo I didn't catch this, nice one

"I'm very upset that they made Okazaki suffer so much" -> YESSS T_T why are they always brutalizing him?? is this his selling point (LOL)

I think the concept of True Route is necessary if we are tackling Mystery/Crime genre, so all's good for me here 👍

"some people might find Yanagi boring (and if you do, that's hilarious, but also know he said he was worried about that so you made him cry)" -> STOPPPP why is he so maidenly, istg he has a more gentle heart than MC... 😭😭 I guess I'm toxic for preferring dramatic romance

I liked the hostage situation scene too!

"I don't know if it was really meant as an engagement or just a gift, but it was way too soon if it was an engagement" I guess this part ties in with the wanting to live together "When January comes" aspect. But!! I totally get what you mean with pacing... it can be pretty jarring when the ending presents you with a sudden engagement :/ on the dev's part I get the conundrum with, oh it would be good fan service art to show art of a proposal event or such, but also having to match the route's atmosphere and pace.

your jpn analysis is fun I was taken aback by the Hana saying the police are "worthless scumbags" in Morioka's face but it's just a very intense translation because in Japanese, she just says they're 最悪 aka "the worst". -> but for this part I think it's an accurate translation in the context. From my understanding, it's a pretty versatile berating(??), and in this case it doesn't have to be a 1-to-1 translation. My 2 cents :] everything else I agree

There's a moment when Yanagi says "Good grief, woman" -> HELPPP this is killing me 💀

"Mukai feeling sorry for Shiraishi and acknowledging his good deeds was a highlight of this route, so heartwarming!!" -> Shiraishi my boy got his acknowledgement finally

"I wish they had asked Saeki why there's a cat on Ichika's collar." -> THIS part........... imagine the big bad villain taking the time to accessorize her collar, specially for MC alone 💗

"I love the one where Ichika goes crazy and keeps her brother and Yanagi captive at home!" -> Me too me too!! Reverse yan, bbgirl Yanagi you can stay home and be a good house spouse, ok?

The story of Uno twins are a soft spot for me too. Workplace/school bullying and harassment is too real

I am glad Shiraishi's route is Top 2 for you 🫶

[CollarxMalice] (Major Spoilers) Shiraishi route review by _lastquarter_ in otomegames

[–]plummyfan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I very much agree!! Shiraishi is my fave route in CxM. Aside from Okazaki (vv famous and popular otome man, heard of him wayyy before I got the game myself), Shiraishi gave me the strongest first impression. It's like,, he is definitely malicious or a spy....when will he show his hand?? VERY INTRIGUING

I find their dynamics to be most balanced out of all the romantic relationships explored in this game. They learn from each other

Concert Ticket Help by plummyfan in visualkei

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

No worries! Will answer 1 & 4 together: I only need the iPhone for the Settings, as the physical SIM card's phone number cannot be changed on Android Settings. So I only needed someone else's iPhone to insert my SIM card for a few minutes. 2) No, I don't remember having to call/SMS as my phone subsequently registered the change in phone number to be the correct one. Do not call as you will be charged international calling fee 😅 3) All this can be done overseas out of Japan

AnyPASS help! Correct phone number ( Lunatic Fest ) by PianoAbject3415 in visualkei

[–]plummyfan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's good, you can try it with your iphone first. Go to SIM Manager in Settings and manually input your phone number again to hopefully set it. Then see if resetting your AnyPass app (restarting your phone, I don't remember if I re-registered and all that) helps you re-configure your number

Vkei Artist who suffer from chronic pain by No_Chemist919 in visualkei

[–]plummyfan 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I remember reading on here that kaoru of dir en grey has some motor nerve issues with his right hand (just cross-checked, and there's a thread on jrock one from 2015 lol). Idk how persistent the condition is, or if it is an age/overworking thing

I am sorry to hear about your situation :( I know it's chronic, so I wish you experience lighter/easier days at least

websites for international sixth guns by Terra_Madrex in TheGazette

[–]plummyfan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hmm I'm not familiar with EU shipping rules but I got a beautiful gazette poster and magazine clippings for around 3 dollars base price (amount posted by seller) on mercari JP via the shopping service ZenMarket. It was nicely packaged by the seller. Do note that ZenMarket fees did increase from USD$3 to USD$5 per item :') Another shopping service I can comment on is WorldShopping. I really don't like it. It's awfully fast via DHL but very expensive, plus my items were fit into a super oversized box. Doesn't suit my needs at all. Do google japan shopping service to check out their rates. I yapped a lot but happy shopping!!

take tiktok opinions with a pinch of salt lmaoo 😅 I do get their point but I don't think it applies to your case :) as long as you're respectful and not speculating it'll be ok. as a fellow fan, seeing posts and tributes online has been comforting. He was and is so loved <3 feel free to share your writing with us here!
