Good. Hopefully we see some similar suits take place over here in the US, as well.
EDIT: Not “good” that they discriminated against him, but good that the tribunal determined it to be discriminatory.

This is a pretty big one that would get overlooked, I think. What we in the west would consider “crunch” conditions are often considered normal, or even bare minimum in some Japanese companies.
Is it common for Japanese URLs to use non-Latin text like that? I rarely end up on Japanese websites, but I feel like I’ve always seen romaji domains when I’ve ended up there.
I’m guessing because he’s not selling the ROM, the Patreon only gave you early access. It seems to have now been made available to the public for free.
A lot of it is going to be game-specific, and spending time tweaking the control settings until you find what feels responsive to you.
The rest of it is going to be technique, and a lot of trial and error to find out what works best for your play style. For instance, I can’t do fast-paced, twitchy movements on a controller (even things that are technically possible to do on a controller; I just don’t have the dexterity anymore), so I have to adopt a different play style when using a controller. I usually will go for a more support-based role, if possible; opting for long-range weapons/abilities, and playing a more patient, campy game. I play slower and more methodically this way, and try to position myself so that I don’t ever get into the situations where I need to react to somebody closing the gap on me in the first place.
For me, it’s an entire mindset shift. If I play the same game on M/K, I’ll be playing with a much faster, reaction-centric style instead of one where my movements are more premeditated.
Some other tips will be learning to do things like using your left stick for fine-tuning your aim (you can get very precise horizontal micro-adjustments by leveraging your player’s position, which can be useful for getting your shot off before the other guy does), experimenting with gyro controls if that’s an option for you, or trying joystick extenders (small gadgets that clip onto your sticks to extend their effective length, which may make aiming easier).
As far as what to practice in, I don’t know of any aim trainers that are designed for controller, so I’d say you should just practice with a game that you either don’t care about or where it doesn’t matter if you lose a bunch. I’d recommend The Finals; it’s free to play, the default quickplay mode is active and puts you into a match quickly, and it’s super low-stakes so you don’t have to feel bad about experimenting during a live match. Your teammates don’t have loot drops or anything hinging on your success, so if you play badly, nobody cares. And it’s got pretty robust customization options for the controller settings (dead zones, acceleration curves, etc), which can help you figure out what settings you respond best to and what to look out for in the settings of other games. It has a huge variety in movement/weapon options, so you’ll end up developing skills/habits that will transfer over to other games quite easily.
I didn’t mean to weirdly steer this into becoming an ad for The Finals. But it’s a very controller-friendly FPS that I think will be beneficial to practice with. I think it’s also pretty fun, but that’s subjective.
I feel it! I feel the cosmos!

Oohhh, that sounds delicious! My old boss at work was telling me about Brazilian lemonades a while back and I’ve been meaning to try it at some point.
While it’s a series, it’s really the only franchise like it, so it kinda is its own genre: Katamari.
So what’s the reason to go to a mall? Crappy food court food?
The last dozen or so times I’ve been to a mall, the only thing I’ve spent money on was food. It’s hard to justify spending money at the mall when I know I can get just about anything there from an online retailer for a lot cheaper. But I can’t get an Orange Julius online. Yet.
Naturally there is always going to be a certain amount of player decline over time, but I have to wonder how much of this could have been saved had Sony not created a PR nightmare for the game with the required PSN account linking.
That said, I’m sure there’s going to be a sharp spike in players very soon, as Arrowhead should be releasing a new enemy faction into the game very shortly, which is going to bring a lot of players back again for a while. Hopefully they’ll find a way to keep those players interested again.
You can’t prove there isn’t!
“Oh yeah, are you sure about that? Then why does my AirTag say it’s already landed on Jupiter, hmm? I’d like to speak to your manager.”
Probably move on to YouTube Shorts or Instagram reels.
Likely YouTube. While neither are great, between Google and Meta, Google’s got the better reputation. YouTube also has a larger audience, because it includes a ton of users who wouldn’t fall under traditional social media usage. Reels might be used as a periphery platform to drive more people to their main channel on YouTube.
Any TikTok creator who moves to Instagram full-time is either shooting themselves in the foot, or got a good contract from Meta.
That’s really cool! I wonder if there’s a way to find the previous owners of the house, that’d make for a really fun story if you were able to track down the original owner somehow.
No wrongdoing was found!
On surface level, sure. But the consequences of this drama will be seen across the industry. Google and Amazon both appear to have worked to have kept this quiet, which raises a lot of important questions about how the business of video streaming will handle child safety.
Even though it may seem like drama, there’s an important story here, and it directly involves the futures of some key players in the tech sector so it’s relevant.
I’m 100% certain that if he actually didn’t know the kid’s age beforehand, that he would have said so in one of his responses. If the situation was anything other than what everybody is already suspecting, he would have put it out there instead of letting the internet speculate wildly. He wouldn’t just be sitting on that little nugget of information if it existed. He was too specific in his responses to have left that out unintentionally.
Yeah, and there’s a much different context. Those aren’t real children on the show. Those text threads are with adults on both ends. The entire interaction from start to finish is mitigated by professionals.
We’re talking about a situation involving a real child, not a sting operation where there isn’t an actual victim. There’s a real child whose identity would be put at risk of being exposed by releasing the logs.
This isn’t primetime TV drama. This is a real situation involving a real minor. You should take a step back from the screen for a minute if you’re struggling to see the difference.
If it’s the same game I’m thinking of (but can’t remember the name of), I remember it feeling like a much more shallow version of Katamari. You never realize how important the rolling physics truly are to the Katamari experience until you take them away. It was a pretty neat idea, but just didn’t capitalize on it very much.
