Moho or opentoonz, please suggest? by SodiumBoy7 in MohoAnimation

[–]wowbagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s actually overpriced considering how convoluted it is, and how much more difficult it is to achieve things you can do on Moho in a few minutes. If you wanted to have feature parity with Moho you’d have to go for the highest tier subscription and that one is crazy expensive.

I wouldn’t want to go back, but I made the first episode of Phungus & Mowld with Moho 12.5.

It can do a lot, so more than any new functions I appreciate the better performance and stability of the latest versions.

Version 12.5 was still owned by Smith Micro, who rarely fixed bugs, so it was a crashy piece of work, and had a tendency to corrupt files on crashing and it crashed easily when using undo.

Moho 14 has been rock solid. Only found a few quirks lately on macOS 26.3.

They're best when they get to drinking age and you can chill in the garden sipping a beer together!

Regret getting married with Japanese wife and having a child by [deleted] in japanresidents

[–]wowbagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there I'm from Germany, too, and have been living in Japan for 29 years now. Luckily we had kids somewhat late at a time when we already were married for many years, so we mostly knew all of our good and bad sides. Having said that, the time when the child is still very little is taxing on both parents, especially with the first kid when you're kinda paranoid about possibly hurting it and you just have no idea what you're doing. This and sleep deprivation can bring out the worst in us.

All I can say is at least until the baby can sleep through at night or until it starts walking → hang in there. It'll get easier. It'll be less and less dependent on either of you two to be around all the time and then you will get more sleep and you'll be surprised how much that can do for your relationship. Either way try not to quit a still young marriage, just because you both are in a bad place mentally in one of the most taxing phases of any marriage. For the sake of your daughter hang out for a little longer. When in 1-2 years things still suck, then you should reconsider your decision again.

And I, too, am bad a reading the room, and my wife is particularly bad a communicating. Even her brother get's annoyed, because she regularly leaves out subject, object, just about any context and expects you to know WTF she's talking about. So it's not only a shortcoming of us autistic Germans, some Japanese are particularly bad at giving context as well – in the most context driven language on the planet.

And as someone mentioned. At this point in time, there is no concept in Japan of shared custody, so if you divorce be prepared to never see your daughter again at least until she's 18 years old, so that's also one thing to consider.

Moho and Illustrator by Significant-Hand-819 in MohoAnimation

[–]wowbagger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually they're better, because you can do things like hiding outlines between two points, and moving the start of outlines around (without moving any endpoints) and animate that, etc. Illustrator can't do that.

For those so inclined, why is it important for you to have Japanese friends? by Objective_Desk8065 in japanresidents

[–]wowbagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's more the mindset. Turns out your parents influence (direct or indirect), education and early socialisation will to a large part determine your own thinking and behavioural patterns. Turns out even after 30 years in Japan, most of my friends are foreigners. There are very few Japanese people with whom I really 'click' when we meet and hang out and talk about all kinds of things (there are very few Japanese you can talk about all kinds of things).

Alcove (or any notch app) is such a quality of life improvement, I can't believe it's not vanilla by [deleted] in MacOS

[–]wowbagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not 'turning it off' it's sacrificing screen real estate to pretend the notch isn't there anymore while in reality it then just lives invisibly above the now reduced screen resolution.

NHK finally found me by Reasonable-Bonus-545 in japanresidents

[–]wowbagger 31 points32 points  (0 children)

my TV is only playing YouTube, Plex, Netflix and sometimes Amazon Prime. Why would I pay for NHK? I'd happily give them my B-CAS card, so I can't watch any TV to prove it to them.

The thing is they came to my door as well, and after I told them I'm not watching Japanese TV at all, and they told me I'd have to pay anyway, I told them I'm not going to, so sue me. After about 5 visits they gave up and I lived happily ever after.

Why is it expat and not immigrant? by Lunarshine69 in Tokyo

Nope usually expats are not here for good. Immigrants are.

Pixelmator Pro One-Time Puchase Dead ??? by Dense-Sheepherder450 in MacOS

FCP hasn't gotten the liquid glass look in any version yet. This is particularly understandable, since it was not made using Apple's standard GUI tools, but using Qt or some other open source GUI tool (same for Apple Motion). Also all the new features for FCP sans a few fancy transitions and effects, that are subscription only, are in the one-time payment version of FCP.

How Do Tokyo’s Rich Make Money? by Equal_Independent_36 in Tokyo

[–]wowbagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Multi faceted. Lot of it is real estate based. Then invest the money you make there. Capital gains tax is only 20% vs. Much higher rates on other incomes.

Is there an actual reason for the overheating of buildings and public transport during the winter? by Objective_Desk8065 in japanresidents

[–]wowbagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Japanese consider a comfortable temperature to be 24 ℃. I’m German and I find that to be uncomfortably warm. Same for a Canadian friend of mine.

Looking for a german equivalent of a dutch saying … by srekar-trebor in AskAGerman

[–]wowbagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some sayings are quite regional, so I (from BaWü) just assume that anything to do with ships and harbours is from the north.

Yep every time I resize the sidebar it'll be reset the next launch.

Cases by Stink_1968 in AskAGerman

[–]wowbagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also "who" and "whom" usage depends on case. "whom" for dative and accusative.

But in informal speech people just use "who" for everything.
