![[OC] I made this for Inktober. Hope it's cool with you guys.](https://preview.redd.it/mzprgem56fuh1.png?auto=webp&s=cc27936fe5c4c5c7be96673a2a7fa0c65901db77)
First time posting here, but I've been listening to Rammstein since 2008. I'm doing Inktober, and today's topic was "ram", so I thought I'd make this.
(If this is not allowed, feel free to delete it.)
Third time hooking this guy. First time, it just swam off. Second time, I got it to around 5m before it frenzied and got away.
This time, I came prepared with my YouTube playlist. Now I just need the large salmon to progress.
My heart goes out to those who play using the German language setting.
Hints will be given later.
Hint 1: Older than a quarter of a century by now.
Now that we're done with the Final Fantasy XI collab, what are your guys' thoughts on the event as a whole? What are your plans for the time being?
For me, I started Abyss 4 about 2 weeks ago after accumulating a bunch of silver and aurora gears, and I've just made it to Route 10 last night on my first run. I'm considering holding off on beating the abyss until they do the same thing as Abyss 3 where they have a campaign to have 2,500 players beating the abyss for gems. I've also never done fishing before in-game, and thought I'd just chill at the lake until further notice.
I'm originally from Honolulu and came to Japan roughly 4 years ago, and I've recently been let go from my job. I'm fluent in both, English and Japanese, and I've been searching for nearby jobs and online works frantically and sent roughly 50 applications out over the past 3 weeks or so to no avail. I've also asked in other subreddits, and while some did suggest JET or a position at any of the military bases, I'm a dual citizen (US & Japan), which makes me inelligible for these.
I'm at a real loss because I don't have a family whom I can turn to, and I live with my maternal grandfather (my mother's father), who will be 90 next year. I'm met with a really tough choice of either staying here and continue searching for a job, or abandon everything and go back to the states. The former is proving really challenging, and the latter means that I'll have to leave my grandfather, which I don't want to have to do, but I will have to if I don't want to starve to death. Even if I did decide to turn heartless, I wouldn't have anyone to turn to in Hawaii since I have no family there anymore (my mother passed away 3 years ago, and we were the only ones living outside of Asia).
I even applied for a cashier position at my local drugstore, and even that didn't give me the response I had hoped for. Seeing that the spot is still vacant, I have no idea why they turned me down. It's like nobody wants me here, and I'm feeling pretty useless.
I'd appreciate any advice.
I was in an IKEA or Costco-like environment, and I was looking around until I saw this guy who was trying to find the right-sized gown for himself.
I'm 5'11" (180cm) tall, but that guy was probably close to 4m tall. He wasn't Slender-Man either, he was just a really, really tall dude.
I tried speaking to him, but maybe he couldn't hear me from my level. He just went about with his new gown.
If anyone has any possible interpretations on this dream, feel free to shoot.
(This is my first time posting here, and so please forgive me if I make any mistakes.)
Aloha, I'm originally from Honolulu, and I moved to Aichi roughly 4 years ago to tend to my grandfather (my late mother's father).
Now, this is going to sound weird, but I couldn't make any friends over the 4 years I'd been in Nagoya. The Japanese work culture also has been physically and mentally exhausting, and recently, I'd been released from my previous job, and I'm at a point where I could either;
A) Go back to Honolulu, or the states, though this would mean that I'll be abandoning my grandfather, which is the last thing I'd want to do. The cost of living in Honolulu is also absurd right now.
B) Continue looking for a job in Japan. I've already sent out around 40 to 50 applications, but none of them yielded a positive response. I even applied for a local supermarket, and even they turned me down, and I'm really devastated.
Which is why I'd like to have an Option C.
Now, I'm aware that Okinawa's fairly far from Aichi, and I've never been there either. However, I'm at the point where I have to choose between starving to death, or ditching my life here. I'd been advised a few days ago that I the US bases may potentially have job openings, and I've heard from my friends who've been to, or are in Okinawa that its vibes are similar to that of our home in Hawaii.
That being said, I'd like to at the very least give it a thought before I completely give up, and so I'd appreciate any advices as to how I should proceed from here.
Some notes:
-I'm a second-generation Japanese-American, and both, English and Japanese are my native languages.
-I have dual citizenship.
-I have a valid driver's ID in Japan.
-I'm a digital artist. Hwoever, I have no engineering or IT background.
Thank you in advance.
Hint 1: There's a zoo stage.
Hint 2: There's also an underground mine stage.
Hint 3: There's even a dock stage.
Hint 4: And there's a secret lab stage owned by some evil corporation behind all this mess!
Hint 5: Holy crap, is that a giant crocodile!?
Hint 6: Totally not a Resident Evil game.
This is what farming for 8 hours will do to a man.
I know I'm going to sound like an idiot...
I left my home (Honolulu) to tend to my aging grandfather back in December 2021. I've been struggling financially, and I'd recently been let go from my job. Things have not been so well, and I've been considering ditching my life here (which would mean abandoning my grandfather) and going back to the states.
However, I'd recently been notified that I'd still have to pay taxes even if I'm living outside of the states.
I'd like to know how screwed I am before deciding my next course of action. Thank you in advance for your helps and advices.
It's been a while since I last posted here. I stayed away because it reminded me too much of my home, and I miss everything about Hawaii.
I was born and raised in Honolulu, and left for Japan back in December of 2021 to care for my aging grandfather (maternal). Prior to that, I worked as a caregiver alongside my mother, and she wanted to help my grandfather out, but she didn't want to abandon us, and so I went in her stead to look after him.
Since coming to Japan, I've been working in several jobs, with the longest lasting 3 and a half years, and the most recent lasting a little over 5 months. During that time, my mother passed away, and I have no contact with my father (he was abusive). Today, I overheard my grandfather talking to my aunt (my mother's sister), saying that I was "a mistake". This especially hurt me because I was conceived out of wedlock.
I confronted my grandfather, and he downplayed it, and doubled down. I have a feeling that he won't leave anything for me, and that's fine. The problem is that I'll soon be homeless with no job, and no income. I've been hunting relentlessly for a job over the past 2 weeks, and every company I've applied to (50+) have either ignored me, or turned me down because nobody wants to hire a 30-year old guy. As I'm typing this out, I feel like the world just doesn't want me, because I was never meant to be born in the first place.
I couldn't make any friends here, and I tried hard to do so. The more time I spent here in Japan, the more I came to the realization that no matter how well I spoke the language, I'll always be an American, and not full Japanese. Hence, I'd been thinking about returning to the states, preferably Hawaii, but I have no home there anymore since my mother, the only person who cared about me, is long gone. Even if I did go back, I'd probably end up in a homeless shelter, but even that seems more tolerable to the coldness of the people here.
I'm at a real loss here, and maybe I just want to be heard. Thanks for reading my vent/rant, I'm probably not in the right state of mind.

This is for a manga competition, in which we have to choose 2 random rough drafts, and make full manga pages based on these. I'd like to know how I did in terms of making this look like an actual page from what you'd see in those weekly manga magazines.

Edit: I agree with everyone that the upskirt panel doesn't work, but it's something that was oddly specified in the storyboard with an example, and even though I don't like this particular shot either, I can't change it unless I want to get disqualified. The competition is looking specifically at how well we draw + how well we follow the instructions, since they're looking for artists, and not storyboarders.
(Apologies if this isn't the right place to post this.)
I've recently been let go from my previous job in Sakae, and I've been in search of a job, preferably one where my skills can be put to use. I'm an illustrator/mangaka, and I'm fluent in both, English and Japanese.
I also have experiences working as an interpreter/translator, as well as in customer support (my previous job).
I've been sending applications, and I figured I might as well ask here too to see if there are any local opportunities as well, since I live right outside of Nagoya. I'd appreciate if anyone could give me any advices or insights on where to look, or better yet, a gig.
Thank you for reading, and I hope that you guys all have a good remainder of the day!
