I described myself as a coder for a while starting somewhere around '03 or '04 IIRC.

4·6 months agoI stopped. Anyone who wanted to keep in touch with me was given other methods of doing that. Anyone else who couldn’t be bothered to spend 20 extra seconds? Not worth having in my life.

Games@lemmy.world•Never doubt the commitment of horse-girl fans: Umamusume cosplayers are having actual races at tracks around the world
8·6 months agoUma (馬) is horse in Japanese and musume (娘) is daughter (or young, unmarried woman, I guess). Beyond that, I have no idea what is going on.
I live in Japan (UTC+9) and we don’t really do pranks here for the most part (google and some other tech companies at least used to do it here, but I’m never looking at their websites anymore to know).
What happens is websites and creators I like start doing weird shit either late on the 1st or sometime on the 2nd my time and I never remember that it’s April Fools’ Day and end up confused and annoyed.

Games@lemmy.world•Former Nippon Ichi Software president says the “salaryman-ification” of Japan’s game industry is why there are fewer “individual creators” like Hideo Kojima and Suda51 - AUTOMATON WEST
1·6 months agoSource? I can see people violating their visa conditions but, AFAIK, there are very few cases in which a company can legally stop you from working a side hustle or fire you for one. The one exception to that is conflict of interest/non-compete.
Some companies can have social media policies that would make youtube a bit more annoying, but not impossible.
I used to be able to eat the firmer bits of tomato (generally the outside) but not the inside. That may be an option unless it’s also a scent thing with them. I now love homemade pico de gallo and salsa, but it took a long time to get there (unless the salsa were pureed to homogeneity).

Technology@lemmy.world•New service in Japan to allow mobile users to use other carriers’ networks during outages
2·6 months agoNo one in rural Japan (or at least my corner of it) is doing meshtastic. Japan is more strict on power as well. I am a licensed HAM and even that is pretty thin on the ground up here these days. I had family visit and one brought a node. Nothing at all anywhere we travelled even in one of northern Japan’s biggest cities

Technology@lemmy.world•New service in Japan to allow mobile users to use other carriers’ networks during outages
6·6 months agoNice. My wife and I are one different carriers purely for disaster purposes. I used to have a wifi router on a third as my travel/work-backup. This is a good step for major disasters.
The downside is that, in the event of large-scale power outages, it will only be so helpful. When I lived in the US, I rode out hurricane Ike in Houston and we had no cell service as the battery backups on the cell towers slowly expired. Some in 24 hours, the longest I think in 72.
My company GitHub has copilot do code reviews. That is the extent of my AI use. I’ve had to correct copypasta from AI agents that coworkers used that was just wrong.
If possible, you could try to get the requirements and design to those and write something new.
If that’s not possible, I would start flow-charting. I always do it by hand in whatever tool you have handy. Some languages have tools that can do this for you (Go and Java and I think PHP to name a few) if it’s that big of a mess. From there, find your inputs and outputs and go back to the “rewrite it” part.

Basically. The R sound isn’t the same as English’s R so it’s a bit misleading in romaji, but basically yes.
Link to the Past was so cool when it came out and such an upgrade. It’s still my favorite zelda game (and it has a randomizer and great community!). I didn’t play OOT until sometime in my 20s and hated how clunky it was; I still prefer the non-3d zeldas.

Games@lemmy.world•Video game romances need to evolve beyond lore dumps
21·7 months agoYeah, I really just wish it wasn’t in games since it’s almost always done poorly yet also the only way to get some backstory which feels forced and dumb.
I’m not sure I know what you’re asking. Many people use established engines and many of those engines are still under active development to add features, tune performance, etc. Some people also choose to write their own, either for learning/fun or for more specific usecases.

Games@lemmy.world•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
3·7 months agoThe 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.

234·7 months agoI’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.


Oh yeah? Well, I’ve pooped at a significant fraction of the speed of sound
