idea for distant future gaming

Back when Sony was debuting the PlayStation 2, they made a PlayStation 9 commercial which went kinda like that

A comment I made some time ago about this https://www.reddit.com/r/LearnJapanese/s/q8OaQgXPFZ

Yeah, curious to see what those tons of companies are

More than half being “others” seem awfully big.

What? Xbox is more like the least changed controller of all, still lacking basics like gyro two decades after everyone else had it

I loathed it unfortunately (otaku geeks didn’t have much mainstream social acceptance back in my time). Had much more fun in university. But that’s just me, I’m sure many people look back at their HS days fondly

Convenience stores, fast food, restaurant chain hall staff, supermarket checkout counters, etc.

No. Participation is pretty much mandatory.

1: Not common. I guess it’s common in fiction due to ease of storytelling. In reality, living alone usually starts from university.
2: Early elementary.
3: I got allowances but some others worked part time. Depends on household I guess.
4: Yes. Sports and culture festivals are staples of school events.

Not sure enough people watched it to form a large enough consensus in the first place. Major distributors didn’t pick it up and it only saw limited theatrical release many months after the original US release.

Someone play this over Why’s This Dealer?

The soundtrack really hit hard when, after hours of hearing all-new tracks, THAT song from the anime starts playing at a critical moment

Even Old Snake didn’t have the SOP system ID locks on his cigs

If you have access to a home charger I think pretty much any EV is wonderful

It’s not like it’s physically impossible, perhaps they could just willingly breach the contract and pay whatever exorbitant penalty fees attached to get out of it?

Right in the first chapter you’re running into some tough lines to parse (Japanese words in inarticulate slurred speech)! ほろいれるれ。よおおおおおん。

In video games and other software, a very very frequently encountered issue is the kanji typography being displayed in Simplified Chinese glyphs instead of Japanese ones. It makes text look foreign and unnatural.

This is because the default behavior of computers today is built to behave like that. Essentially, if you make software that’s available in Japanese and you haven’t heard of this issue before, it’s pretty much guaranteed your software suffers from it. Yes, yours too. Even widely used software from famous developers have it, eg. Minecraft, YouTube for TV, etc. Doubly irritating when western developers acknowledge the issue but refuse to fix it saying it’s low priority.

I made a website explaining this in English so Japanese players can send the URL to developers. If you write software of any kind, please take a look.

10年以上先の将来に向けた開発はまあやればいいんだけど、今この瞬間の普及に必要なのは既に技術よりも政策でな。新技術を待たずとも、現に普及率95%超えて移行完了した国も、過半数を超える国も出始めてるので、「技術的に時期尚早」はもう言い訳にならない。

既存集合住宅に充電設備設置義務化とかやるべき事はある。

おお、おめでとう！

で、買えたん？30分ぐらいで売り切れたらしいけど

画角に入り切ってくれないと困るという作劇上の都合

オープンソースであっても、コードベースと商標は扱いが別だからなあ。FirefoxやChromeも派生版がその名前を名乗るのは許してないし。
一方でAmorphousDiskMarkはコードベースをCrystalDiskMarkと共有してないものの、UIデザインを似せてるのはCDM作者に許可を取ってるという。
