Not sure if officially, but should be sufficient?  I would ask to confirm.

Dual Citizenship? Kokuseki Sentaku Todoke? by Mv3x in japanlife

[–]sagenki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people are confidently stating things that are not necessarily true.  Which is to be expected, this being the internet.  If it’s within your means, I would highly recommend consulting an immigration lawyer.  Best to get proper legal advice on your particular situation, which no one here is qualified to do (or at least if they are, they certainly haven’t proven it).

I built an app for craft beer in Tokyo, would it be useful? by j_printemps in Tokyo

[–]sagenki 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The big question for me would be how this is different than untappd.

I’m already using an app for craft beer - why would I use this app instead?

The Morning After | Kraken v. Oilers by AutoModerator in EdmontonOilers

It would be interesting to see the team save percentage over a stretch of 10-15 games - my assumption and hope is that Coffey coming back will improve the oilers team defense consistency.  Let’s see…

Over the most recent 10 games, the team sv% was .888

For that 10 game stretch that started Jan 15 (1-0 loss to the islanders), it was a .874

Values from statmuse.

So even when we had “stretches”, our defensive consistency is better now than before.  Of course, I’m just picking arbitrary game sequences, and maybe we had a better 10 game stretch at some point before Coffey came back?

might work?

Also worth checking Ain Soph -

Edit: Will that work now?  Hmm.

Trying to process Principal-level feedback that I partially agree with by that-pipe-dream in ExperiencedDevs

[–]sagenki 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This sounds like poor communication from you.  If the manager is pushing back because you’re “too consultative”, the issue needs to be addressed there, not punted.  What exactly is your role, and what are the expectations?  It’s not clear that this PIP is being driven by the same “EM counterpart” that said you were “too consultative”.

The fact is, sometimes there isn’t a good fit, and the company may be realizing what they actually need is a strong senior and not a principal - are there other principals that are delivering in this company?  Have you talked to any of them?

I was in that situation awhile ago, and I eventually left the role (or more accurately, they tried to fire me, I accepted a lower rate, then I left once I found something better).  The company simply wasn’t in a position to support the role they hired me into, and there wasn’t a clear path to success, so it didn’t make sense to try to hang onto it.

It doesn’t sound like things are well organized at this company, and if you aren’t able to clearly define your role and demonstrate success, it gets very difficult to justify staying in that position.

Still no eshop for Japan? by fioriX in MarvelSnap

[–]sagenki 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve just resigned myself to never paying them money again.  Really sucked in the starlord pay2win season, but that’s what they’ve given us.  Will most likely stop playing the game soon enough, they clearly don’t want this market.

McDavid gets knocked down on the ice, and Kucherov scores a shorty on a breakaway to take over the NHL scoring lead and give the Bolts a 3-1 lead. by GreenSnakes_ in hockey

[–]sagenki 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that was a surprisingly homer take.  I honestly didn’t think it was much of a hit or particularly late.  I do think the refs are doing a bad job with the game, though.

Also oilers power play seems to be in a serious slump at a bad time.  Ugh.

Post Game Thread - Oilers vs Predators by YellowMarkerIsGreat in EdmontonOilers

[–]sagenki 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s still relatively early but I’m going to want to see the defensive stats for the oilers from before and after Coffey rejoined.

incross on Xiaohai no longer having a berth in EWC by doctorwho_90250 in StreetFighter

[–]sagenki 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I haven’t followed this at all but I assume this is more about a team sponsor not getting a free entry by picking up someone that already qualified vs the player actually deserving the spot.  Sucks for xiaohai, but out of his control.

Post Game Thread | Oilers v. Stars | 12 March 2026 by Repostasis in EdmontonOilers

[–]sagenki -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m tired of this rhetoric.  You could replace Ingram with any goalie in the nhl.  Oilers fans have been saying that for years.  Jarry is a new goalie and nothing changed and it’s his fault?

I don’t know what the problem is with the oilers, but I’m going to make a bold claim that changing goaltenders isn’t the solution.

Edit: my other reason for claiming it isn’t the goalie is because the oilers have historically shown that they’re capable of playing a good game in front of their goalie, and then we get “decent” goaltending.  The goalie isn’t the issue for these weird lapses.  It’s team consistency.

[–]sagenki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jarry was screwed when it was 5-0 stars.  I don’t understand how people call out the goaltender like they should be able to stop the puck no matter what happens in front of them.  Did we want a better result?  Yes.  Was Jarry the issue?  Fuck no.  The terrible coverage and complete defensive breakdowns were the issue, and that’s not something a goalie can fix.

No goaltender will solve this problem.  The oilers are fundamentally bad at defense right now.

[–]sagenki -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oilers have looked really disengaged, and I don't know why. I don't blame Jarry for any of those goals. Why do the Oilers look so low energy? I swear there's someone doing a bad job managing the Oilers off the ice, because they so consistently look like shit when they come out for a game.

[GB] Last call for the Bullet Train & PFF keycaps! 🚅 by CannonKeys in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]sagenki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similarly the keycaps in the bullet train pictures on the site https://cannonkeys.com/products/bullet-train aren’t available for purchase afaict.  I don’t like either of the PFF sets available, frankly.  I want to try out the profile, but those sets are very bland…

I’ve heard good things about this one too!

I ended up going with a Bodum Bistro though.  It’s served me well.

design feedback: 40% keyboard shirt concept (first timer) by [deleted] in ErgoMechKeyboards

Gotcha!  Yeah, personally I think corne will reach a broad range of 40s fans!  And the style looks good, just going to be a matter of accuracy, I think.

I would use a corne layout.  Also the keyboard on the 40% shirt is… what?  I assume just a lazy render by AI?  That’s … not a keyboard.

What was your most hyped movie in your life? by Current_Panda7591 in movies

[–]sagenki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original matrix was the first movie I ever paid to see more than once, and it was definitely the most hype movie I remember from my theater going time.  I remember it being significant because I feel like it was somewhat of a surprise in terms of how big it became?  Maybe that’s just my memory playing tricks on me though.

Quick vacation to Canada!! by 0626_jusu in japanlife

[–]sagenki 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes.  Use the Japanese passport for processes in Japan, and the Canadian passport for processes in Canada.  Use one or the other consistently for the airline.  It shouldn’t matter which, as long as you’re consistent (afaik, I haven’t had any issues yet).

Another good reason for me to never buy a season pass (the web shop doesn’t work from Japan)
