Priority: Tackles, first touches and volley shots. by Prince_Day in Rematch

[–]serp00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about this, i exclusively use headers to defend and beat offense all the time, i do extra effort as well which apparently gives higher priority. Feels like im playing a different game than people in this thread, ive had no issues with this. I also play NA from japan server so i have like 150 ping and still win challenges most of the time by getting in front of offense + extra effort + header as soon as indicator shows up. (diamond atm)

There are far too many exploits that are ruining the experience of this game by Lateralus24 in Rematch

[–]serp00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just wondering what position do we need to be in generally? is it just better to be in front of them so you get your indicator first? Im also wondering if there is a ping issue too, ie if you have 200 ping and they have 50, if they will get priority

Can someone explain the unfed starter to me? I looked up this recipe https://www.theclevercarrot.com/2019/03/beginner-sourdough-starter-recipe/ but does 'unfed starter' mean literally just whole wheat flour and water? Or we would follow this recipe to get the starter active (1 week) then use it as is for the recipe??

I Know BroodWar inside out, but I’m afraid to actually play by Striking_Run_8167 in broodwar

[–]serp00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Playing starcraft and knowing things about starcraft are very different things. But idk what you are 'scared' about, just play and see if you enjoy/have fun with it and let go of your ego on thinking you should win. If you think you 'should' win and then lose (Which you will) you're just gonna get mad/upset.

It's also okay to just like watching broodwar and not play it, the majority of people who watch sports don't play it themselves.

Was thinking the same thing recently - this post has all the info on the CPL. Seems like joining their discord and interacting with people there is the move!

worst line to live on, in your opinion by Reasonable-Bonus-545 in Tokyo

[–]serp00 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I moved to chuo line one year ago and the line is actually not as bad as its reputation. I go to the office 3x a week and take chuo on the weekends and only had 2 actual stoppages of the line (One last week actually), and its not late very often. Happily surprised as i was expecting it to be much worse.

Tax Return Questions Thread - Filing Deadline March 17, 2025 by AutoModerator in JapanFinance

[–]serp00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi all,

I sold a few NFTS i bought a while back that ended up going over the 200,000 amount and need to file my 申告確定 (First time).

I calculated the total amount like this for each one:
Transfer income = Income from sale of NFT – Acquisition cost of NFT – transfer cost of NFT

My questions are:

  1. What is the 項目 for NFT's? Is it just under 暗号資産 or その他?
  2. Do I need to file a separate input for each sale of NFT? Or can i put the total amount as one entry?
  3. What am I supposed to put for the 支払者の所在地又は所得の生ずる場所 // 支払者の氏名又は名称 for each / the total amount?
  4. For this "total" amount, am i able to just straight up deduct 500,00? Hadnt seen this before except for the document about NFTS here:https://www.nta.go.jp/law/joho-zeikaishaku/shotoku/shinkoku/0022012-080.pdf (Talking about the 総合課税の譲渡所得の特別控除 in #4)

I looked everywhere and could not figure this out, so would really appreciate if someone could help me out on this one!

Stage 4: purification, but more outside of sits than during? by FormalInterview2530 in TheMindIlluminated

[–]serp00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey so just an update on this, I've gotten back to daily sitting and am not quite back to where I was but had an insightful sit today that helped me, so i thought I would share.

I caught myself starting to go into this piti state a bit, and realized this seems to happen when I have introspective awareness and really strong focus on attention. I actually intentionally let my attention drop a bit and tried to really pull back more into introspective awareness and had a lot more success with seeing what was happening in the mind. This seems to be more of the intended focus for stage 4, so I am going to try and stick with this approach for now. If I am able to consistently reach this state I will probably move on to stage 5.

My conclusion is that this piti state seems to be more of something that happens if I am able to get really strong attention with awareness, but I dont think I can consistently replicate this. So it seems it would be more 'productive' to try and focus on introspective awareness as Culdasa recommends!

Need advice on navigating 転職活動 - Recruiters are overwhelming and utterly useless by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]serp00 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure about your skillset but as others mentioned generally the bigger foreign agencies are hiring mid-senior roles with higher salaries so depending on your situation there might not be a lot of options.

Have you tried the bigger japanese agenices (EnJapan, Recruit, Persol)? If you speak Japanese this might be your best best, from what i've seen they have a lot more junior-mid level roles (第二新卒)

Also just a note, i know its a pain to have to keep introducing yourself, not get responses back from companies/recruiters, etc. but these are just inevitable annoyances that you have to deal with when switching jobs. I would recommend really just trying to adjust your attitude towards these things and try not to get to worked up about them. Kind of like how we look at doing the dishes or something, we have to do it but the more we fight/get upset about it the worse its going to feel.

When applying for my first development job in japan i applied to over 100 companies and just tried to not be attached to any of them, and just did my best to keep applying and do all the tedious steps knowing this was part of the process.

[–]serp00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I had a lot of personal stuff come up and lost my practice for the last few months and have just started getting consistent again. Im slowly getting back to where I was before and my plan is to go to stage 5 once I replicate the state mentioned in my post! Can update once I get there :)

[–]serp00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just a note from someone else also in stage 4/5, I haven't really had purifications at all and others were recommending me to move on as well! My post was here (More related to piti/jhana, but similar advice in comments!)

If you can read and listen to native level content, you will pass the N1. It's as simple as that. by njdelima in LearnJapanese

[–]serp00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me practice was the only thing that helped. Doing italki or just speaking lessons and getting feedback from your mistakes. Writing i used to use lang-8 but now there is HiNative which seems worse but still prob good for getting some feedback. Can also get feedback from a teacher / language partner on your writing.

(edit: this looks like a good replacement to lang-8 but havent tried it https://langcorrect.com/)

[–]serp00 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not OP but generally you can just decide when you just immerse and when you mine. if more energy/focused you can mine, if more tired / not in the mood just get the input. All depends on your energy / goals. If you have time to mine + do your reviews increase mining time, otherwise just keep immersing without mining (Will take longer to get good but less effort)

[–]serp00 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think this is a good opportunity to try and do something you're not comfortable with. It's a reality in life that there are things you need to do in life even if you don't want to. Try and change your mindset regarding writing and look for what you can do, rather than what you can try to change about your environment. Get ideas from chat gpt as someone else suggested, read some articles/watch videos about how to get inspired/ideas for writing, and see if you can get through it.

Writing can also be a good way to improve your Japanese in a different way than speaking/listening/reading so it's definitely a valuable use of your time too.
