| Topic | Nintendo Sues Console ROM Sites For 'Mass' Copyright Infringement |
| ssjevot 07/23/18 6:44:07 AM #58 | Nintendo is a very conservative company which is why they have been slow to adapt to the internet and their digital policy is a total mess. Think of how some movie and music media companies just tried to sue piracy away and then eventually had to give up and provide a superior service with streaming and digital distribution for reasonable prices. Steam did this for PC gaming and basically saved the industry. You beat piracy by being a better alternative. Look at CD Projekt (and GOG), they literally don't protect their software at all. You can just share it with other people and nothing will stop you and yet they make millions. Nintendo though is full of old people who are out of touch and would rather fight the future than embrace it. That's why they are behind in online, mobile, and haven't even touched PC yet. They think it's better to sue ROM sites than offer their catalogue on Steam and make millions. That's going to be the case for the near future. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

| Topic | is it easy to learn how to read japanese? |
| ssjevot 07/14/18 8:36:14 PM #31 | It's not easy. I have a better kanji knowledge than many Japanese natives (I passed the Kanji Kentei Jun1kyuu 1), but it's because I literally spend hours every day reading and writing Japanese. I love kanji and most people hate them. I love them so much I started to learn Chinese just to learn more kanji (Chinese uses many more characters). However I don't recommend learning to write to most people. Takes way too long for too little payoff. Instead you should just learn to read words. I always did better on the yomi (reading) questions even with lots of writing practice. It's just quite hard to remember them perfectly especially with rarer characters. Thankfully you don't have to know how in the modern world. You can just type into your computer or cell phone and find it there if you need to handwrite something. I am a fan for the book Kodansha Kanji Learner's Course. It gives you a nice selected of 2300 kanji and words they are used in along with methods to help you remember them. The order it presents them in is very good. You learn words that only use previously used kanji and learn kanji that are made up of previously introduced components before learning new components. There is also an attempt to keep phonetically related kanji together. If you want to learn to read that would be my recommendation. Oh and the kana are easy (not nearly as easy as an alphabet like Hangul, but you should be able to learn them in a few days if you put effort into it). --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

I definitely won't do so in the interview, but when I mentioned how popular it is to one of my Japanese friends living in Germany, they were positively surprised. They love when you bring up anime and Japanese culture. This is some dumb meme people like to push where Japanese people don't actually like anime and think people who do are weird. I am easily the least Otaku person in my entire lab and I really like anime and games. Everyone I ever talk to about anime or games reacts positively and some get super excited and passionate. Japanese people for the most part want their culture to be appropriated (not that they know what cultural appropriation is, but if it is explained to them they will likely think it is a positive thing). Seriously though I ride an anime train to a bus stop to take an anime bus to work. Almost every store sells manga. Oranges have anime girls on them at the grocery store. Anime (really manga culture) is everywhere and nothing like American culture and cartoons. If someone tells you anime isn't that big in Japan they don't live here and are lying (it literally dwarfs all other movie genres in sales). --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

| ssjevot 07/02/18 4:59:13 PM #44 | Well I only have experience interviewing in Japanese here, but the biggest thing is that they tend to act very positive and agree with what you are saying but may actually not be interested in hiring you. You really need to be on your guard because their friendly attitude can give you a false sense of security. It sounds like you will be doing something with programming? I am a research professor here, but I do more programming than anything else. One thing you should be aware of is that even if you work 50 hours a week you will probably have a lot of people in your office working much more. A lot of them won't actually be doing anything useful, but they will appear dedicated since they're there for 12 hours every day. If you bring in results you can get away with working less but there will be an attitude that you aren't as dedicated to the company. Also don't not go to drinking parties. Think of them as mandatory. Japan is a lot of fun to vacation in, but working is quite hard to get used to and definitely can burn you out if you don't love your job (thankfully I love mine). --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

| Topic | could a samurai with a katana beat a european knight? |
| ssjevot 07/01/18 8:50:33 PM #73 | Katana was more of a side arm and status symbol. On the battlefield they would be most likely to use spears (yari), bows (yumi), or guns (teppou). If they did use a sword it would be a special field sword called an oodachi or nodachi. So the comparison is pretty silly. Sword use didn't get big until after sengoku jidai when duels and bushido were developed. Similar to chivalry and duels in Europe. The idea that samurai fought in honorable duels during sengoku jidai is a romanticism. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

| ssjevot 06/19/18 2:44:07 AM #61 | RE_expert44 posted... Do half whites face the same discrimination over there? I don't think we really face that much skin based discrimination. It's primarily discrimination against being not Japanese. Like they can legally discriminate housing or just about anything based on you being a foreigner. Housing is one of the first things you run into here. You quickly realize a lot of places don't want you to live there and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it. You also get blamed for stuff you didn't do. If some senile old person put out the wrong trash on the wrong day (truly the greatest of crimes) everyone assumes you did it, because you're a dumb foreigner who doesn't know any better. But honestly it isn't that bad. People might whine about it online, but no one is going to hate crime you or anything because you're a foreigner. I never fear for my safety or anything major. It's just a lot of what some people call "micro-aggressions". And some people are really bothered by that. It doesn't bother me that much personally, but I can understand why some people would be. I've never been called a racial slur or had threats made or anything like that. Though I have run into the anti-foreigner black propaganda vans drive by the right wing extremists. It can be kind of strange walking down a street while a van is blaring a message asking for cooperation in removing all foreigners from the country (but they ask very nicely). --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

I am surprised the person is experiencing these things so often in Tokyo where black people aren't rare and many schools have half Japanese children.

You don't know what a scientific theory is or why science being unable to prove things is a feature and not a problem, but that is a normal result from American education, so it's not really your fault. Scientific theories represent a best guess explanation using the currently available data. Theories can and do change or get discarded as we gather more data. This is a good thing. We can never 100% know something in science because there are always alternative explanations. So instead we try to come up with the best possible explanation we can based on the current evidence. Gravity is an observable natural phenomena, and relativity is the current best theory to explain it. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

They simply picked characters that sounded similar, same way they named most cities in foreign countries. You realize Chinese writing predates the Roman script by thousands of years right? It's not like they didn't name anything until pinyin came along. Pinyin is not used in translation period. Learn Chinese and you can talk.

It's obviously not possible to produce with a modern machine translator. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

You literally have no idea what you are talking about. The machine doesn't make an error. It translates it literally in a correct way. The problem is there is no way to express that dish in English. What would you want it to mean? It's so weird you are arguing over a food item when that same food item exists in Korean and yields the same translation. So what is the point? You can literally write it in the exact same characters in Korean because either used to be written with Chinese characters as well until the 70s. So it's kind of pointless since it is the same just written in different scripts. You seem to think a computer has trouble reading characters when it's all just data. It never thinks dry was actually tongue. A human does because they aren't a database, they might have bad character recognition like that Reddit user. The problem is the food dish isn't meant to be taken literally. Just like a milk shake isn't milk that you shook up. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

| ssjevot 05/29/18 8:55:04 AM #42 | That person's comment is wrong. It isn't tongue. It's dry. You should not use random Reddit posts as evidence. You clearly don't know what you are talking about and it's quite embarrassing for you. It's dry exploded duck. That's the literal translation and it's a piss poor example because it is not meant to be taken literally so it makes just as much sense in either language. It is based on the appearance of the dish itself since it contains duck that is dry and shredded into pieces so it looks like it blew up everywhere. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

Again how does any of this lead to you writing ? You clearly thought that was the name of the dish. Of course I know what is already, I figured it out after realizing you wrote the wrong thing. The question is how Google translate made you write tongue instead of dry. They aren't similar characters in either their sound or composition so how did that happen? --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

You wrote the wrong characters to begin with. It's the name of a dish and it's an idiom so it doesn't translate to English correctly, but what you wrote isn't even a thing. I am not sure how you wrote since it seems you don't actually know Chinese. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |
