ゲーム開発が好きだからゲーム業界に入った系なんだけど、他の業界から来てくれる人の感想を聞くのは面白い
特にスマホアプリの開発のスピード感がめちゃくちゃ早くてカオスだけど、すぐにプレイヤー反応とか温度感を感じられるのがいいですねーって言われたら、確かに…珍しいかも!

it's actually appalling how many bots are running twitter especially in the JP side?? i guess that makes sense since there's such a large JP userbase to farm content from. but man it's impossible to look at a tweet's replies without seeing obvious engagement farm

maybe i need to yell really loudly every time my code merges into main so that people understand the Technical side of my contributions idk. sometimes i just don’t know what to do!

i’ve been working as a tech artist/generalist developer for more than half of my career, often doing C#-heavy implementations, but i swear most people assume i’m “just an artist” because i’m not a dude like the rest of the engineers in this country… make it make sense 🫠

it feels so opposite though! with how dense Tokyo is and how many random small businesses there are, you would think there would be plenty of options 🥲

one thing that i still struggle with in tokyo is finding places that are kid-friendly + not family restaurants/chain restaurants 🚼 i wish this city were more kid-friendly

actual normal japanese food 90% of the time when you aren’t treating yourself: a bowl of rice, miso soup, salted fish, random pickled stuff, a meal that is Healthy but Bland
