Reddit - Beehaw until I decided I didn't like older versions of Lemmy (though it seems most things I didn't like are better now) - kbin.social (died) - kbin.run (died) - fedia.

Japan-based backend software dev and small-scale farmer.

  • Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize - AUTOMATON WEST

  • The real reason is probably more that I was not a fan of early 3d stuff in general. The camera was kinda crap, the controls didn't feel great when walking around, etc. Not just an FF thing, either; this was for games as a whole except for racing games. I hated Starfox as well (coming from the Amiga world, some stuff felt like going backwards).

    Being able to suplex a train, though, was a nice bonus.

  • What advice or tips do you have which sound like nonsense but really work?

  • Also read the whole recipe including the method and notes; some love to just slip things in that aren't in the ingredients list (something to grease a pan, etc.) and knowing times and temps is very useful.

  • I personally was not interested in them at all. I was much more a fan of 6 than 7. As such, no idea on the quality.

  • Drink Whole Milk, Eat Red Meat, and Use ChatGPT

    Jump

  • I mean, whole milk is fine and what a lot of the world drinks. Did you mean raw (unpasteurized) milk?

  • I'd be fine with Square Enix going away. In my opinion, they got greedy and way too full of themselves. Nintendo as well, for that matter.

  • Do you think people from more "privilaged" backgrounds have a right to complain about the struggle and/or abuse that they went through? (eg: "Middle Class" or "Rich" family)

    Jump

  • Do you think a child who skins his knee is allowed to cry? I mean, he wasn't shot or tortured, after all. The answer is all pain and struggle is relative to what the person's experiences are.

  • Primal Instincts

    Jump

  • Can I have a factor reset? I seem to have gotten anxiety, depression, possible OCD, and such instead of 'dance'.

  • Heathrow isn’t crowded, it’s travellers walking on the wrong side, boss says

    Jump

  • Huh? In driving, the slow lane is left and passing is on the right. On escalators (except in parts of Kansai), it's stand left and walk (pass) right. Even in subways and train stations, walking is generally left (though some stations swap this in some/all sections for whatever reason). There is signage about this, though people routinely ignore it.

  • Trump threatens to bypass Congress and order new voting laws ahead of midterms

    Jump

  • For those in poverty and without cars, trying to get somewhere to get an ID made can take a large amount of time and non-zero amount of money (even if just in trying to get to a DMV/BMV/DPS office) that they may not otherwise have.

  • Wexner does not surprise me at all having known people who worked for/around him and his properties.

  • MacOS is the worst Operating System

    Jump

  • I have to use Mac for work and hate the window management. So much of it feels counterintuitive, especially anything with two instances running and switching.

  • Japan's Sanae Takaichi wins a supermajority after gambling on a snap election

  • They feel only ultra-nationalist conservatives will defend them well against NK & China.

    By all indications, cost of living and stagnant wages are the highest priority across the board. Overtourism is usually second or third. NK is hardly a consideration. China (and even Russia) are higher but mostly among ultranationalists due to territory disputes and Chinese investors buying up property.

  • Trump threatens to bar the new US-Canada bridge from opening, demands talks with Ottawa

    Jump

  • Don't open this one. Close the Canadian side of the ambassador bridge. Fuck that guy

  • Do you like working from home? Yes or no, gimme some reasons.

    Jump

  • Fully remote for years now and never want an on-site job again. I don't mind going for a couple of events a year, though.

    I can take my "smoke break" to change loads of laundry or do something else around the house. I have no commute time nor expenses. I am always here for deliveries. I regained so much of my time that I can use for study or entertainment. (Assuming a 1-hour commute, even if most of that is on a train, that's 10 hours a week back from that alone).

    For success, your company and you need to have good communication and planning. It's also not for everyone, especially more social people.

  • Which high school friend took a path you didn't expect?

    Jump

  • I'm in my mid-40s. I moved for my final year of highschool, so it's a bit weird. When Facebook came out, I did reconnect with some, but I quit it around 8 years ago now and lost contact mostly. When I look up my first (rural) school classmates by name now and again, I get so many obituaries. Some freak accidents, many cae accidents, some military, and others still drugs and violence (not much else in tiny truck stop towns). My graduating class was like 180is people and easily a tenth of them are gone (it feels more like 1/5 even).

  • Japan's Sanae Takaichi wins a supermajority after gambling on a snap election

    Jump

  • Yeah this move was essentially to reset the counter to a full 4 years in the lower house. The ldp loves scandles, though, so she might step on a rake and we see some sort of pm election and another general

  • Gen Z is the first generation dumber than their parents, neuroscientist claims

    Jump

  • I was terrible at standardized tests. I was in gifted and learning disability classes at the same time in middle school (basically because of ADHD and losing my homework, forgetting it at home, etc.) I'm a successful software engineer who learns foreign languages as a hobby and also run a second business (a small farm) while volunteering sometimes in my village. I think I did OK in that regard(at least in the booksmarts sort of way which is what this presumably measures).

    If standardized tests aren't working for Gen Z, we should find a better way to measure things. I doubt the sky is falling.

  • AI gold rush sees tech firms embracing 72-hour weeks

    Jump

  • Nah. I'm ~40 hours a week (very rare overtime) + an on-call rotation about once a month (zero calls in months) + fully remote except for a couple events a year (though I'm welcome to go to the office more). Even if I make ~50% of whatever they're paying, that's still fine with me. I worked my ass off, including multiple jobs, when I was younger.

    I guess the asterisk here is that I did start my own farm business on a small farm, but that's also monetizing a hobby.
