If he's still alive he hasn't changed enough imo.

Japanese people tend to make a big deal out of the "human touch," especially when it comes to service, so I can see how companies aren't jumping on to the hype. We're also pretty slow to adopt change.

Oh and maybe the shit exchange rate makes it expensive to use the service as everything is pretty much foreign tech.

Yeah, I'm appreciating how quickly the Switch games are loading. Smash, Zelda, and Splatoon used to frustrate me a bit with their load times.

As a Japanese person, I'd say this is pretty conventional. But manga panel orders can be pretty chaotic, just like our writing.

Do you mean from the panel where she's putting the mits on to the part where she's showing them? Then, yeah, since we also write top to bottom in a vertical line, we can also go from bottom to top when going to the next line.

Another commenter says the mangaka screwed up, but I don't agree. Japanese writing is chaotic, so this manga is pretty conventional. Here's what we have to deal with when it comes to reading the news paper.

The text within the fuchsia line is one article. You start reading from the green line — top to bottom, left to right. You'd think it would keep going that way until the left edge of the paper, but for some reason, they decided to put a second article, so the green paragraph's height is cut in half. Then we start the yellow paragraph and you'd think the article is done when it reaches the left edge of the green paragraph, but nope, there's one more paragraph starting from the blue arrow.

Rapist tells group of mentally challenged people to forget about list of paedophiles.

They're putting them on. It's right to left with Japanese manga.

I got one as a gift, but I'm not sure why they're selling so well. I haven't bought a single new game for it yet. There's nothing I wanna play until maybe Metroid.

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

I'm not sure how that's being the devil's advocate. Either way, they end up looking stupid as fuck.
