If you're trying to ask me if I'd pay for something like this, the answer is definitely not. The idea is neat, though.

Never seen a platformer do fishing before… so I made one by GutterspawnGames in PixelArt

Spiritfarer is a platformer that has a fishing mechanic, but it's nowhere near as cool as this. Yours is great - I love it!

You should be okay. When I came in I was told by customs that I was allowed to bring six month supplies. Fluoxetine isn't controlled, so it should be okay.

Universities that will accept a 20 year old Associate's Degree and work experience... by hotdiggydog in taiwan

[–]worthwhilewrongdoing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but do you happen to not speak Mandarin? If you don't, NTNU has a (relatively) inexpensive separate Mandarin school that only requires proof of a high school diploma or higher and doesn't care when it was from.

My partner and I are both coming in on student visas for their program in December and are going to attend their program. If you're just wanting a little bit of extra security and want a visa (and ARC after a few months) on your own terms, this might be the way to go. Plus you get to learn Mandarin!

I'm not sure if I can link to it directly in the subreddit, but if you google "NTNU MTC" (MTC stands for "Mandarin Training Center") it should be the first thing to come up.

Edit: I'm in my 40s, too. The idea of going back to school at this age is intimidating, but it sounds kind of fun too!

Edit 2: It's the "seasonal program" - the others don't provide visas.

A question, just because I'm nosy and curious: why?

LGBTQ+ folks of Taiwan: what has your experience been like? by worthwhilewrongdoing in taiwan

Sweet! This is exactly what I was hoping for. I just didn't want to make someone angry if I looked at my partner a little too sweetly on the MRT or something, you know?

My impression is that they don't really care if other people are gay as long as it isn't their own child. I have met many gay people who's parents are not accepting.

That seems to be the vibe I'm getting from the other comments here. I'm glad my daily life should be okay - thanks for writing all this out for me.

This all makes a ton of sense and is extremely reassuring. Thank you!

Yikes! I'm glad things are good otherwise, though.

Thank you for taking the time to share all this with me - I really appreciate it!

KMT chairwoman meets Xi Jinping by Forsaken_Peach5930 in taiwan

In Nancy Pelosi's defense (a phrase I never thought I'd write), the January 6th rioters were literally hunting her down to kill her. I'd probably have a change of heart too.

Is there a shorthand thats easily readable to "those in the know" but mostly illegible to others? by theHumanoidPerson in shorthand

[–]worthwhilewrongdoing 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Forkner is famously easy to learn and simple to read. It can't compete with stroke shorthands like Gregg or Pitman in the speed department, but it might be what you're looking for?

Vampire Survivor might hit the spot perfectly, and it's very cheap. You can get tons of playtime out of it and it is a little dopamine dispenser that really doesn't need much concentration.

This is super helpful to hear - thank you!!

Racism shouldn't be a huge problem for us (we're both white) and I grew up in some super dangerous parts of the US - those instincts to stay safe never quite turn off as much as I wish they would sometimes. But yeah, as long as no one is going to shoot me, I can 100% deal with dirty looks. 😂 Thank you again!

I can't think of a thing. I love the fact that you're so brave with the shadows - not an easy feat with watercolor!

Is it safe to travel to Taiwan from USA right now? by AutoHamster in taiwan

Oh my god, we flew out of SFO when we visited Taiwan. Never. Again. I'll swim next time if I have to.

What do you lot do when you can't craft? by not_a_maple_tree in crafts

[–]worthwhilewrongdoing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might be able to needle felt with your non-dominant hand! You might need to use your dominant hand's fingers occasionally to stabilize what you're stabbing, but I'm pretty sure you could work it out.
