All projects should be.

Move to Codeberg (esp. if you're European) - but please don't forget to donate something as well. If we don't pay for actual freedom, we won't be able to keep it.

I'm sorry to hear you weren't an adult at 24.

Are you LARPing?

The time spent on housework and child care by Japanese men is at the lowest level on a global basis.

Are the fathers or the mothers the ones to leave and pick up?

Worked 15 years for a Japanese company - never saw a single japanese colleague put family before work.

37M and 24F is not an unreasonable age difference for a long term relationship. Him being japanese I also assume he won't spend that much time taking care of the kids which means him being old while they're still teenagers is not an issue in his mind.

Same here, although even earlier. As a family of five Sony's horribly bad game sharing within the family if you have more than one PS5 (we do) has sealed the deal for us. I've just built up two Bazzite-based Steamboxes and that's going to be our couchgaming from now on.

No PS6.

Yeah ... no.

Ask Europeans if they feel working in that industry right now feels like anything but for defensive reasons.

Worked for a Japanese company and visited the head office in Tokyo. One of the more senior managers took us to his favorite local sea food restaurant.

I hate seafood. Especially when it's fancy and you get baby squid that looks like they were just fresh out of the water with no preparation etc (part of the "fancy"). However, culturally I had absolutely no possibility to do anything but eat, smile and praise. The courses just kept coming, each one being more disgusting than the last.

Tell that to itch.io and Steam - the latest victims of centralized payments systems.

I enjoyed both the 20s and early 30s, seeing no reason to stop having fun. We had our first child when I was 38, which at the time felt perfectly fine.

I was 45 when we had the third, and now at 50 I'm definitely feeling a bit too old for the needs of my younger kids.

tl;dr: Don't wait too long with adulthood.
