Not talking about Reshade here, I'm thinking something like FFXIV's Penumbra mod that can modify your character's looks with custom face texture/makeup, hair, etc. I don't know much about it, but apparently Penumbra gets loaded alongside FFXIV without touching game files (and thus not breaking TOS, I'd assume...?). Would it be doable for LOTRO?

I want to hear your misshaps and strange encounters in the game!

My weirdest moment was around three years ago, when I was approached by a Human player in Bree. I play a more masc Woman Champion with a great axe, and for some reason this guy immediately asked me out on a date, and offered me a very pink dress that he asked I wear for the date. He also asked me to go to the barber so that I change my hair from very short to very long, and tried to rizz me through RP.

I don't remember much after that but since I had nothing better to do, I obliged even if it felt pretty weird to see my character in a feminine pink outfit😱 It felt like I was crossdressing somehow, since my character is as gender-neutral as possible. Had to put a stop to it when he started making weird propositions though.

What are your stories?? I'm so curious!!

Hello, I apologize for any grammar issues as English isn't my first language. I will also delete the post later. As the title says :

My understanding is that Japan is understaffed (and underpaid, but that's the standard everywhere...) for elderly care, so they're recruiting abroad now.

My current plan is to apply for a Working Holiday Visa for 2027, study hard for the "Nursing Care Skills Evaluation Test" (介護技能評価試験) and attempt to pass it to become a Specified Skill Worker (i). I would also need to pass JLPT N4. The Nursing Care exam has both Japanese (oral test) and English (written test) parts.

Experience: I have close to 6-7 years of experience as a caretaker for elderly and disabled people in specialized care homes and at home, and have been studying Japanese since highschool so 12-ish years now. I can speak well and write/read hiragana, and read katakana. My biggest hurdle is money (4950 euros needed in bank account to apply, doing my best to save up) and my sworn-enemy, kanji. I have visited Japan three times and stayed there for two months and two weeks, and have several Japanese friends in the Tokyo area.

After one year of visa, I would be eligible to work immediately as I have more than three years of experience.

Is it doable and realistic? Thank you in advance.
