How do people make and save kaomoji art?
  • Japanese here. There are specific editors often categorized as "アスキーアートエディタ" (Ascii Art Editor). They often come with libraries of existing AA to modify, and can display image with low opacity to "trace" image.

    Large part of jp ascii art made/appeared in 90s to early 00s at underground forums like 2ch. Those editor were tailored for their speifics such as font family (MS-P Gothic) and size. The display/font system is different nowadays, but unlike "AA artist" in those times who is 100% comitted to make vertical line aligning pixel perfect most of people find those AA displays ok.

  • Layoffs hit Japan as Final Fantasy Brave Exvius developer asks 80 employees to “voluntarily resign”
  • It's just how they word layoff and severance package. In Japan voluntary resignation can be also entitled for severance package depending roles/duration of employment, and this gives larger package than regular voluntary resignation is entitled to, to make them resign "voluntary".

  • A Cool Guide to Protein Sources.
  • Just to check, did a quick search on usda.

    Values aren't off that much, tho meat protein value seems to be overstated. It's still likely propaganda, since they're not calorie-wise protein which gives better outlook for balaced diet.

  • United Airlines launches personalized ads on seat-back screens
  • I think they can retain customers' past flight records and maybe list of media played in flights. That said it's almost guaranteed some ad marketing corpo is behind, and EULA is always vague enough to allow sharing external party...

  • 📄 rule
  • Japanese use JIS but A size is the same with ISO so there's no confusion here. For B size there's slight difference in JIS and ISO, but as end user I hardly print anything other than A4 so haven't encountered problems myself.

  • C O L O N I Z E
  • Some mushrooms can be poisonous after 24h, just in case. angel wing mushroom shows no digestive symptoms but encephalopathy after 2 day to 1 month of latent period. The mushroom was known to be edible for a long time. Were it not for full screening for encephalopathy cases (enforced due to SARS spread back in 2004), it could've remain "edible" still now.

  • shrimp colour drama
  • So its like they're living compressed png world chosing 4bit as color depth (it's 16 colors tho). I'm no retro gamer but some old graphics presents unbelievable level of expression with limited colors, so it's possible they're seeing something amazing still.

  • A 3d printer is basically just a really fancy hot glue gun
  • Not all printers are, but FDM printers are. SLA printers, the one uses projector and resin to makr high detailed figurines or parts with precision are basically fancy nail polish and curing light combimed.

  • Rice cooker tofu "fried" rice
  • Looks yummy! In Japan this method is called takikomi-gohan (cook-together rice) and I think tofu and turmeric seems good combination. I recommend trying one with mushrooms (traditionally shimeji or shiitake but anything really) is also really good.

  • History Buff warning signs
  • I'm just curious, but the definition sounds like distinguishing between religion and faith not exactly religion and mythology. Animism or shamanism doesn't always have overarching dogma to teach nor actively ask other people to believe in them. Ancient Greek people did some rituals and sacrifice, that practices they did doesn't count as religion?

  • Japan is on its own wavelength.
  • You are likely to only refer more than current era. If you're writing govmet grant application, renewing licence or certificate, chances are you mention events hapenned in previous era. You look up table for when the previous era started and ended, which era said year falls into, then convert for each year, each era. Extra minutes wasted every time instead of simply writing in Gregorian year.
