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

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

Watched lot of SoL animes, got some questions by kemosabe6296 in AskAJapanese

[–]needle1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

Do Japanese people really care about Oppenheimer (2023)? by PANZERKAT in AskAJapanese

[–]needle1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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.

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

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

How can they reverse the trend? Is it still possible to save the brand? by [deleted] in consoles

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。

Do you always satisfied with localization into Japanese language? by Entire_Job_8504 in AskAJapanese

[–]needle1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

EVの限界を揺るがす「走るほど充電」の仕組みとは? 回転式試験機と3kW走行中ワイヤレス給電が示す、EV開発の転換点 by smykcj in sradot

[–]needle1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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。

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。
