| ssjevot 11/17/22 1:37:40 AM #81 | Research professor (as in I don't teach). ryudo500 posted... any of you have jobs where you can afk or watch netflix and such for half the time? So much of my time is spent waiting on things that yes I can largely do this, but my hours are also highly irregular (basically any time could be work time to the point where I have no real schedule). --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

But then he should have used since it means the same thing (pregnant) and would end in . --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |
| Topic | Are these house prices in Japan real??? |
| ssjevot 11/13/22 1:23:19 AM #63 | coolguyjimmy posted... IIRC, most Japanese don't like 2nd hand houses and like to knock down and start again. Therefore the market will adapt to this mindset: Yes. This is absolutely correct. That said I am more than happy with my house. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

Nope. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |
| Topic | Are these house prices in Japan real??? |
| ssjevot 11/11/22 12:07:55 PM #54 | indica posted... Good to know. When I was in Japan, the community-based investment groups going through houses expressed that there were extra steps for foreigners that made the process more difficult and expensive and was just really a way of keeping them out of the market. It can be harder to get a loan with a good interest rate if you don't have permanent residency. I can't imagine anything else. We put an offer in right before a Japanese couple did and they took ours because it was first. indica posted... What Visa did you go with and how long does it allow you to stay in the country before having to reapply? I had one in Korea for business and education that would allow me to stay for six months and then I'd go to Vietnam for a week and reapply my visa for the next six months. I had a student visa in Japan but that's not really helpful for this. I have a professional visa (professor). My wife has the same (but for engineer). They go for five years but we can reapply without leaving the country. My wife's mother has a stricter visa that only lasts 3 years and her dad has one that only lets him stay in Japan half of the year (he works remote in China, so it doesn't matter where he is really). --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

| ssjevot 11/10/22 6:47:51 PM #51 | indica posted... Are they Japanese? Because you can't just buy property as a foreigner and move there. Otherwise, I think a lot of us would be flocking to these places... Absolutely you can just buy property as a foreigner. I did exactly that. Visa is also not hard to get. (Also worth noting I do live in the middle of nowhere but it isn't as bad as you would think. There is more here than the reservation I grew up on in the US.) --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

They aren't really jokes, he basically just does a political rant about trans people and it's clearly not a joke because he actually believes those things. That said he still has, or at least had, a lot of good bits in his standup and show. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |
| Topic | weebs, how do you know japanese VA is better than english? |
| ssjevot 11/02/22 10:59:35 AM #59 | Not sure if I count since I live in Japan and use Japanese in my daily life at home and work (I only use English online and when talking to family back in America), but the average quality of voice acting in Japan is better. Mainly because the actors are paid a lot more, directors are present, they're practicing lines before the take, the other actors are also in the room, it's a much bigger deal, and big name voice actors are celebrities on TV shows and with popular YouTube channels. It's similar to how Hollywood actors are so good because the industry attracts the best talent, pays them well, and has amazing support staff that direct them. A lot of English voice actors are working for barely any money and can't be bothered to do much more than read lines in a booth because that's all they expect them to do anyway. That said there are some talented English voice actors who are really giving it their best despite the poor shape of the industry. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

| Topic | 2 hours in, Persona 5 Royal is really boring. |
| ssjevot 10/23/22 9:22:38 PM #16 | There is a tutorial but most of the game will be talking. Shin Megami Tensei, their other series, is basically the opposite. It also has better gameplay in general. So if you're looking for gameplay get SMT game. There will be very little story and a very deep and rewarding battle system. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

I don't agree with her, but ad hominem attacks are not relevant to whether or not her grievance is legitimate (I personally think we lack enough evidence to say one way or the other if she was wronged). --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |
| Topic | Why do Japanese & English versions of hurricane kick sound so different? |
| ssjevot 10/20/22 12:44:14 AM #7 | St0rmFury posted... Yes, but the spelling does not reflect the way it's spoken. The final u of syllables is often shortened to the point of sounding like it isn't said. This is heard with words like desu, often sounding like des or sukoshi (origin of the Hawaiian slang word skosh). But it definitely sounds like proper Japanese there outside the obvious low audio quality. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |
