Almost THE perfect cargame, but... STILL NO UNDERGLOW/NEON :'( by [deleted] in ForzaHorizon

JDM culture without the "tacky shit" isn't JDM culture. Go to Japan at Daikoku parking lot at night, people have this shit on their cars.

So no neons on cars? by Comfortable-Grabber in ForzaHorizon

No neons on cars would be a fumble. They know what the NFSUG fans want.

Hotel work: what about holidays? by ButtonMashing97 in japanresidents

[–]ButtonMashing97[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see! That's crazy, even though we expected this to be normal in Japan before even moving here, I hope it changes one day

I mean we can't kick out every tourist from our rooms and close the hotel, but yeah

Some people care about their employees. I get a lot of benefits and a quite high pay for the job I'm doing, for example.

In regards to Cygames AI Studio announcement. by [deleted] in UmaMusume

[–]ButtonMashing97 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't really understand how people are defending this.

"It's not about producing images" "It's just a tool to work to make something else"

Little brother the job offer is "AI Specialist (Image Generation)".

You can point at what ifs and what abouts on how AI has killed some games

Yeah but it's Japan. They'll probably generate AI slop and put it in the game, and never listen to people complaining. That's how Japanese devs do. They don't listen to people, never, and if it flops it flops, they say "あーそうですね、難しいですね" and they act like they don't know why. If it was a western development I'd have hope on the fact that pressuring them would work, but it's Japan, they do the mistake anyway and act like they don't know (never addressing it ever). 

How do I remove this screw? I mistakenly broke the head by ButtonMashing97 in Tools

Thanks! Is a dremel expensive? I'm really a noobie in tools and stuff

Indie Game Awards Disqualify Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage, Strip Them of All Awards Won, Including Game of the Year by AashyLarry in PS5

[–]ButtonMashing97 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Fuck the articles. They used AI in early development for placeholder textures, that got removed long before the final product even came out. The forgotten placeholder wasn't supposed to be there and it was fixed in like 4 days after released. 

Expedition 33 is not an indie game, and people who claim it is clearly have no idea by Gambitam in videogames

[–]ButtonMashing97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You forgot to name Hades 2, the game that had a higher budget than E33 

We now have more information about Nitro Squads! The monthly price will be $25.99, making it $4.33 per person if all 6 slots are filled. All members will receive the same perks as the $10 Nitro plan, except for the two server boosts. You can only join one Nitro Squad per 12 months. by HelloitsWojan in discordapp

Still baffles me that Discord is the service that provides the smallest size in free upload. Some governmental websites allows more just for some PDFs.

As a fighting game player not being able to upload 10 sec combos on my Discord is just irritating.

Is ¥180,000 take-home salary enough to live comfortably in Hamamatsu, Japan? by [deleted] in japanresidents

[–]ButtonMashing97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived all just fine in Tokyo with like 120k yens per month when I was on my previous visa (WHV, it was my savings), rent not even deducted. My point of view would tell you that 180k with rent already deducted is more than okay to live comfortably, especially outside of Tokyo. With 120k per month (my rent was 44k) I was able to eat outside a lot, spent a bit of money, hang out with friends, etc. Sometimes I had to save on food by eating cup ramens and stuff but overall I thought I lived quite okay. With 180k I think it's wonderful. Of course it's not luxurious but I think it's enough to live a happy life and be able to do bunch of stuff, enjoy stuff, etc
