@Mandaloe2 Also I think you _can_ make it with 6 hours a day for sure. It just needs to come from a place of directionally correct passion.

[Mateo Egey @HerrEdgy]

@Mandaloe2 Why are you mad at this? No one is saying it's great or awesome. Today is especially difficult with the industry being what it is, but if you can't make the entry threshold because you think getting good grades at game dev university is enough I have bad news

@DeDHeD_art You forgot the ether lamp major decision in XC1

@henningsanden @_danketsu I've observed this at my old uni as well. Can't make reasonable looking props or characters by the end of their studies for the most part, or don't know how to deal with pipeline issues, and I'm just wondering why would anyone take them.

Failure on the profs and uni culture

I'll fly back to Germany tonight. Feels weird to leave Japan after 2 weeks. I finally got here after 30 years of life. I was reading Dragon Ball as a kid, walking behind my mom, following her from peripheral vision as I was reading.

Japan did not disappoint, and I'll be back

@Asmongold @mahirusoldier I dont mind the appearance but I think the voice is a bit too deep/mature for the appearance. But I also initially thought that about Eve.

@Anlijuu Did you walk into the 7 story anime sex shop by accident like I did?

[Mateo Egey @HerrEdgy]

I am still undecided if I'll remain vegetarian or not. For now I just want to see if the animal protein will make me feel any different tomorrow.

[Mateo Egey @HerrEdgy]

Today I broke my 18 year streak of being vegetarian. As I entered my 30ies I figured I need to change some things up.

I ate all the meat and fish under the sun, including a bunch of raw fish and fish egg.

Cost me some willpower.

It was good.

Skill issue, I was met by maiko and geiko and ninja and samurai right out of the plane. In fact the kunai brought down the plane

[The Spectator @spectator]

Japanese cities can disappoint. Visitors stroll around hoping to be awe-struck by the dreamy spectacle of clip-clopping Geisha in their wooden geita, or barreling sumo wrestlers, or high-stockinged ninja girls (à la Kill Bill), and all against a Blade Runner backdrop, only to be confronted with mostly unremitting blandness.

The constants are these: concrete, plastic, more concrete, more plastic, endless construction (one crappy shopping complex or mansion block replacing another), confusion, and noise. It can all seem dizzyingly homogenous.

Japan was geoblocked on my card. I fixed it, got some cash. I wasn't really in the mood for snacks but I felt happy to buy some due to the man's good nature.

So I came back, bought 3 packs for 1000 yen. And he put a 4th pack into my bag.

I'd go die for this man

[Mateo Egey @HerrEdgy]

Yesterday, while I was in Yanaka Ginza, an old man gestured to me to come and try his snacks.

I had like 800 yen in cash, and my card refused to let me withdraw more. I also needed the cash for my trains. His shop only took cash.

He kept on giving me samples of his snacks.

[Mateo Egey @HerrEdgy]

Even after I quickly told him in broken Japanese that I can't buy anything, he kept on giving me samples. I was kinda touched by that. Once I had my hands free (from snacks) I used google translator to explain the situation.

I moved to the train station and figured out that...

[Mateo Egey @HerrEdgy]

Went on a Fujiyama tour, got some regular sacred water (just 200 yen!) and then some tasty sacred water (sake) and finished by getting a necklace and a bunch of food from 7-11.

Today was good

[Mateo Egey @HerrEdgy]

@SosukeAizen60 Hier meins von heute lol

[Mateo Egey @HerrEdgy]

I said mimi yubi today to the woman in Shibuya helping me find jewelry

[Sugar🍓 @Sugahri]

Apparently the way I translated "sticker sheet" in german for Dokomi is "theorically correct" but nobody would ever think of saying that so people is telling me its making their day because its cute and fun

[Mateo Egey @HerrEdgy]

First full day over in Japan and I absolutely love it

From Asakusa to Akihabara, from beautiful tradition to fun degeneracy, absolutely amazing

[Mateo Egey @HerrEdgy]

@ParisPhl Non-negotiables: values

Ooh right

[Mateo Egey @HerrEdgy]

So it's okay to write slop because it's the reader's responsibility to make sure it isn't slop.. Only that readers write new slop without reading because they become new writers, transitively forwarding the slop forevermore

[Mateo Egey @HerrEdgy]

There's no way this isn't a troll or Academia is truly fucked. The fact she conflates scientific need for reproduction and meticulousness when reading papers with it being fine to not read the papers you are citing when writing them is astonishing.

[Lenka Zdeborova @zdeborova]

@eiszett Have you read all the sources you ever cited? During my PhD we, along with dozens of other papers, cited a paper that I later found did not contain the result for which it was commonly cited. I should be banned I guess.
