Report Rythme's Profile

thank you panchan :3

Better than no chocolate!

Yeah pretty much climax of the episode scenes. Luckily I have been doing pretty good being up to date as my gaming has died down.. until FF7: Rebirth comes out anyway!

Ohhh so you are a top dog bright student who gets scholarships and good grades without trying eh? *spit* must be nice.

Still worth getting that I reckon while still keep an eye out for openings elsewhere, guess you are not currently stuck as a corporate slave just yet!

I'll be the judge of that whether you can lol.

Yeah it's one of those things you either have it or you don't.. and shamefully I am in the latter camp.

Pretty sure most people are introverts like myself so they will leave me alone lol.

Happy belated birthday since oh but happy valentines hope you spent a good time with your waifu.

I am signed up for Crunchyroll so get things on the day but they release clips on their Youtube channel of scenes of the aired episodes annoyingly!

Which Uni's were they?

I used to be a contracted employee so I kinda get that, you never get the same benefits either. In our employment law though we can only be contractors for two years max before the workplace has to consider making us regular employees or not renew our contracts. Do you reckon you would get promoted at some point?

But... but you won't get the accent... and the street language! That is what will set you apart from the mortal English speakers! Nah jokes you don't have to come all the way here for that

Yeah but there is no link between Asian language and English unlike Latin for some European languages. I got by 12 years with sub anime I don't think I have that incentive anymore lol, it takes a lot of effort for sure and I don't have the skillset.

Fiancé is proposed but not married yet.. I'll just call them normies

Hopefully can see this for myself soon!

You're Very Welcome, hope you had a great day~!^^

Happy Birthday, Rythme ~!^^

hehe, we are birds of a feather xD

Happy birthday panchan!! hope you have a lovely day with your loved ones ^^

あけましておめでとう :3

I'm not sure, I just heard there was some potentially weird stuff happening with the romance in oshi no ko, but I guess I'll read it myself and find out xD or will I, that's what I said last time after all... =w=

right, I heard about the earthquake... and the plane crash the next day... it's hard to feel positive about 2024 with all that's happening ; -; based on your words I guess you're doing just fine, but stay frosty ^^
you and me both hehe =w=

I've been doing good. not much going on lately but I'm getting laser eye surgery in a couple of weeks, very excited for that ^^

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2515070/AQUARIUM/

That's a ton of luck! Tho it means we're both gonna be on 50-50 for the upcoming banners. I plan to just empty all my rolls on the banners as they come.

I wish there was a plush version of that. I'd buy it in a flash. Apparently we're gonna have more HSR events in my country too so maybe I'll drop by as well.
I'd reply to your long comment now but I'm actually going to the biggest local anime convention tomorrow so I'll just do it after with my haul~

I'm not caught up on the manga (iirc I stopped around where the anime left off) but I really need to. are you liking the developments? ^^
I've been reading Saki lately, and well, I knew it'd be ecchi, but man =w=

that makes sense. I don't like open world games either. I'm nervous for the future of the zelda franchise if they keep this direction of big worlds with little depth instead of fewer but more memorable locations and characters with the charm and personality the series has been known for >-<

sorry for the almost three month delay. I've been training in the mountains =w=
what's new with you? ^^

Yeah so probably best not to even look at it really.

Good lol just don't get the curiosity get the better of you.

Asia you mainly have one top Uni like Tokyo U or Kyoto Uni which just have big reps and Japanese are all about reps...

Ahh so it a contract but on a rolling auto-renwal on perm basis? Can't they just make you perm? Damn well you can always get better by accessing sites like MAL but I think reading good literature is always a good start. You can come visit here maybe that's probably the best way lol.

Problem if you are an English native is there is no incentive to learn another language, that's why most locals here do not speak another language at all.

Yeah exactly and they didn't have the capacity and resources to chase them down before they got the island fully ingrained. They do now but it will be tough to get it

Come to the dark side, a lot of my friends are having 30 birthdays recently this year and next. Just came back from my friends fiance's 30th party this weekend interesting enough lol

Well I guess that suits the lifestyle there lol

Guess that works out at least you don't have to commute.

Okay, this video came up on my feed so I have to reply to you now:
This combination of people is just a match made in heaven...

That's the good part with Aka's stories, he never really prolongs stories unnecessarily (or maybe because of the fact that he always was a seinen author).

So what you're saying is I can virtually not be able to read/write Japanese, but be able to speak in Japanese? Then again, not being able to read at the very least will definitely come with a lot of complications, haha.
I'm curious btw, did you also get work in Japan, or are you still at your local company and working remotely in Japan?
I'm honestly very interested in pursuing studies in Japan as well atm. Someone I know from my country who got to study in Japan for some years told me that you really just have to have enough years of education beforehand (no matter what level you reached) and you'll be accepted?

Oh, a lot of them definitely are mistranslated or translated in a way that isn't polite.
That's the big limitation for non-manual translations, haha, although translations using ChatGPT are getting increasingly accurate nowadays.
That reminds me that 中 was the bane of my existence too...
Yeah, I'm surprised a country in SEA would be strict with that especially with how SEA is often a target market for soft launches for games.
Wait but didn't Priconne have an exclusive Thai version?
It's less kind but more of there's little workload for now.

Surprised it's still high demand for you guys at that point. I went a week after it started and it was pretty much deserted (then again, I came to the shop when it just opened...)
Speaking of Fontaine, I reinstalled Genhin yesterday so that I can try out Fontaine too! And also experience inorin's voice acting
Long wait for the waifus, though. How was the exhibition?

That's fair. The laptop I was using ran slightly better than a Steam Deck but the handheld factor is what really appeals to me more, so I guess you'd have to be into handheld gaming to be interested in one after all, haha. Plus it's way easier to play VNs this way~
I do the same thing now, dailies on my phone and events/story on my Deck.
Apparently Marie is really barebones on the story so it probably might not be for people who are into stories more (like me). I'm trying to get into the first Blue Reflection game instead for now (I've tried multiple times before but I always get distracted).
Yeah, a lot of people were disappointed the announcement ended up being a gacha. Personally okay with it, but I get that people were expecting a full-on new series to get slapped with that.
Oh right, that Fate/Remnant thing. There's SO MANY games I'd like to play coming out in the span of just 2 weeks to one month, it's too overwhelming. An additional gacha game would definitely kill my free time now...
A heavily censored Global version though ;____;

That's a very cute avatar. I just noticed he made an entirely new channel for it too, hahaha

I'm scared too. 3 banners in a row I want to roll on!

I was immediately hooked for both Kaguya and Oshi no Ko. Although I actually still haven't finished Kaguya even up to now And typing about Oshi no Ko, I bet you've seen the reactions to the latest chapters, hahaha

That's surprising. I was always under the notion that JLPT is everything when it comes to foreigners wanting to work in Japan that isn't an English-related thing. And that makes total sense, especially since I know a lot of JP readers who have a Chinese background, haha.

Well actually, we receive them in Japanese but we compose our replies in English and use translator tools to send them back. I'll probably fare better reading untranslated VNs, I also know a couple of people learning their JP that way. Also, my sister actually bought me a volume of Oshi no Ko from Japan, and I tried reading it on my own and it's amazing that I can pretty much understand ~70% of the text. (I wish it had furigana)
Was it Thailand or Vietnam who had their own set of rules regarding mobile games that often led to global releases not reaching them, so they had to wait to release their own localized versions?
I either read light novels or manga in the downtime. or sleep

Yeah, that actually makes more sense. It's the same as in the local conventions in my country wherein they only feature what's currently trending. I guess it's better to check their respective online stores, like how Yostar has their own for their games. Speaking of real-life events, I remember I still have to go buy some milk tea to get some (low quality) HSR merch and a measly 15 jades...

Maybe you should've bought a Steam Deck as the kinda in-between console/PC. like I just did
That's the greatest stigma of getting work I'd say, getting the ability to buy the games we want but no time to play them... Probably why gacha is still my main thing since we can just play and set it down anytime.
Apparently Atelier Marie is reaaaaally short, though. I was interested in it too but my Atelier Ryza and Sophie icons on my desktop are glaring at me...
Having seven then just means I slacked the whole pandemic
Yeah, and they banned a lot of VPN-using players which is the only way to play it for now outside of Japan :<

Wow, that's actually surprising. Didn't know he had such a pedigree now

No, your wallet is no longer safe (once Furina releases). I'm honestly thinking of quitting HSR but I want Fu Xuan so I'll probably play till her release.

That looks so good. I honestly don't actively follow ANY vtubers anymore but it's good to see that they're doing well to output that kind of content.

Yeah social media is powerful these days and it is unavoidable if you follow anime channels people tend to keep up to date with things very very quickly especially with airing series. Even a day or two delay can cause issues! I don't tend to watch things straight away and usually give a few days depending on my schedule.

I totally forgot until you mention about it now, lets scrap this topic!

Depends on your course as well really I would say, there is a lot of difference in law for example in Oxford and Cambridge say compared to Media and films in London City Uni..

How did you end up getting this job? I am quite interested to know. If it's Project work is it full time temporary contracts or is it still permanent roles? Smartphone game industry is pretty big in Japan and to be able to translate between the two really will help in your learning. Funny enough you are using a language talking to me here in English as well so you are definitely using a mix.

Yeah HK does have a lot of leavers lately, nothing they can do about the China situation, they are connected by land unlike Taiwan.

Oh well you still have an odd-two years soon and I'll get you over the dark side.

I am quite interested the way of life you have over there, I would say we should exchange our day in the life videos of each others lives!

So are you fully remote working/hybrid working or full office work? You definitely need to attend these social events, especially if the boss is going! It's the Japanese life!
