I code stuff. I draw stuff.

I'm a Hongkonger 🇭🇰If you're a westerner coming here because you're arguing with me about something in HK/China/Asia, I forgive you for your misunderstandings.

  • I assume you can read music notes (the tadpoles) since you mentioned it. If so try finding sheet music you like on Musescore (the website) and download them with Librescore (proprietary). Then you can open the .mscz file in Musescore (the program) and transpose it to your harmonica's key.

    Alternatively, if you can process notes to your key on the fly in your head, you don't even need to download and transpose the sheet.

    The sheet music doesn't need to be for harmonica. Don't care too much about all the instruments you'll see. Look for the melody and improvise base on your skill level.

  • How realistic is it for me to learn Japanese so that I can experience Anime better? How long would it take to learn? Has anyone attempted this?

  • Ayyy fellow Canto speaker on the same boat

    I don't really watch anime but I want to read Japanese text. I'm currently 2 months in following the Tofugu guide. I spent about a week on memorizing Hiragana and Katakana, and have been grinding Kanjis and vocabularies on Anki since then. At some point I also read the Japanese sentence structure guide from 8020japanese out of curiosity. This combination allows me to learn Japanese much faster at my own rate than pre-designed methods like Duolingo.

    Since I'm a native Cantonese speaker, learning Kanji is rather trivial, so I mostly spend my time learning both Onyomi (Chinese pronunciation) and Kunyomi (Japanese pronunciation).

    I am at a point where I can read some simple sentences and guess some words base on Kanji (for example はじめる means "start" on my Japanese Wii), but I definitely still have a long way to go before I can do anything fluent. If you watch a decent amount of anime, chances are you can probably learn faster than me.

  • Have you ever made money online?

    Jump

  • CurseForge shares a slice of their ad revenue with creators, so getting money simply depends on how many people visited your page. Even if a mod is unpopular, you still get a minuscule amount of money.

    I should mention that you get paid in "points", and these points can be used to redeem money. For example, every 100 points = 5 USD.

  • Have you ever made money online?

    Jump

  • I wrote some Minecraft mods and uploaded them to CurseForge. I still get about 5 USD every week. It used to be every 3 to 4 days but I seldomly upload new stuff now. For reference, my projects have 1.6M total downloads combined, 2k weekly.

    It's nowhere near enough for sustaining life, but it's like pocket money for me to buy games and renew my domain.

  • It could be cosmic ray. The fact is we don't know. It's just speaking in terms of probability, it's a lot more likely that this is an N64 bug.

    It's not like we don't know what a hardware exploit can do on the N64. For example, you can skip an area in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time by pulling part of the cartridge out while the game is running.

    Tool-assisted Speedruns (TASes, the automated run you mentioned) are mostly run on emulators. If this an N64 hardware bug, it may even be specific to that speedrunner's N64. That's why a TASer actually bought the N64 from this speedrunner to study it lol

    It's basically what @[email protected] commented.

    Additional context for the title is that pannenkoek2012, pioneer of the A Button Challenge (ABC), put up a $1000 bounty for solving the Tick Tock Clock (TTC) upwarp, since techniques in gaining height is extremely valuable as we want to avoid pressing the A Button to jump. No one solved the TTC upwarp. However, solutions have been found for completing TTC without any A presses (0xA) so the TTC upwarp isn't needed anymore.

    The 0xA video is insane btw: https://youtu.be/98EpPsaAF_k

  • The chance of it being caused by cosmic ray is astronomically small. It's way more likely that this was caused by some unknown N64 hardware glitch

  • How popular/important do you have to be for your death by homicide to be labeled as an "assassination"? What if the homicide is for a private matter that's separate from their importance?

    Jump

  • I think it depends more on the intention of the murder. If the killer specifically targets a person, that's assassination. Otherwise, it's homicide? Maybe when it's a specific group of people it can be called genocide instead
