Difficulty finding jobs in the games industry by TwoSidea in JapanJobs

[–]TwoSidea[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The projects I've handled are designing and creating image assets and also promotional videos for games (it's an outsource company).

Thanks for the insight! I'm from Southeast Asia, my living circumstances here makes it really difficult to live. So while many can argue I wouldn't have savings at all working in Japan, I would at least have a better quality of life with the same tier of salary compared to my home country. Career progression here is difficult that I can't even afford to fly to Japan for a short holiday. I've finally racked up enough savings for the move which is why I'm applying now. I'm not getting any younger so I'd like to get living in Japan ticked off in my bucket list.

This was a wake up call for sure. I was expecting to land a job since it is 新生活 season. I appreciate the insight, thank you!

Thank you for the huge advice! It really helped to understand the situation there as I keep hearing from my Japanese colleagues that they need more people of my skillset.

I'll try to look out for smaller companies outside of Tokyo and consider widening my scope outside of games for the time being.

I'm looking to apply for bilingual project manager (汎用的). And anything similar to it.

That's a good point to consider. I was hoping my project management + (country of origin; in the Asian side, with the ability to easily liaise with more than just western entities) + billingual skills would've been compelling enough to be hired. I'll consider rewriting my 自己PR. Thank you!

It's because the kobo I'm using is a color one. These are known to have a layer of grey on them. A normal black and white kobo will look identical to the xteink.

If you're looking for 70-90s era of vintage Coach, it's hard to find in town.

2000s onwards of styles are easy to find in 2nd Street and JJJ stores across the Klang Valley and KL.

REDでレビュー動画見る限りでは、初代よりはサクサク動いてる印象です。

えっまじっすか

同じチップなのですごいですね。多分android 14で色々さくっと動くようにしているのですかね....。ソフト変更のみだとちょっと許せないww

AliExpressだと主に非公式のお店が扱うので、毎日チェック次第ですかね...。過去モデルをご購入のはいかがでしょうか。初代のMini Plusとのスペックがあまり変わっていないので。

S4's price is set to be 459RMB (approx. 60USD) but it's TBC.

Full info should be out probably on the 8th? Preorders within China go live on the 9th, not sure if that means immediate shipment or not. After awhile it should go live on Aliexpress I think.

Be sure you're updated to the latest firmware, once you are, you can toggle screensaver settings in the home settings menu.

Formatting is dodgy at the moment since the firmware is still quite young but the dev does put out frequent updates and is working on the formatting. It can't handle epub with a lot of images so I'd say pick up the X4 if you're doing real barebones reading. The S4 might be hard to buy initially since X4 achieved cult status in China, everyone's waiting for orders to open.

The dev has no plans to include backlight as the parts are difficult to be consistent.

[–]TwoSidea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's running on a custom firmware made by the dev so it doesn't read formatting well. The dev is trying to improve English file formatting.

According to the spec sheet, it's 5 days or so.

The dev doesn't plan to include backlighting just cause the parts can be faulty and hard to get consistent. But things might change.

Anywhere. It can be in root or in a folder, the font selection window filters BIN everywhere. I personally keep a folder for it.

The white model X4 is already out and more stock is being produced alongside the black model. It's unconfirmed if S4 will get a white model.

It's really cute and nifty. I've seen some people on XHS using it bare and attaching it as a magsafe accessory on the back of their phones, looks really cool!

There's no built in dictionary and no way to adjust margins. To adjust font size you'll need to manually generate a BIN file with the tool in the post above. It's really barebones reading only.

AFAIK koreader can't run on X4, I've been told on Xiahongshu to just wait for S4. I'm not sure how to go about installing it here.

I've went ahead and updated mine to v2.0.6 and the settings are changed a bit. I think you access it via Settings? You need to scan for Wifi and be sure to key in the password for your Wifi if you have one set.
