だ To be, Is

だ is the casual form of である, it's similar to です, it means "To be, Is"
だ is an auxiliary verb in Japanese that acts as an expression of determination, or strong assertion. It simply states that something ‘is’ a certain way. It is a casual equivalent of です (another auxiliary verb).
だ should always be attached to the end of nouns, or words that can behave like nouns, such as な-Adjectives.

Structure 1: Noun + だ

Examples:
It is an ice cream.
アイスクリームだ。

It is a temple.
お寺だ。
寺=tera

Structure 2: ［な］Adjective + だ

Examples:
It is dangerous.
危険だ。
危険=kiken

It is important.
大切だ。(な-Adj + だ)
大切=daisetsu

です To be, Is

です means "To be, Is"
Similarly to だ, です is an auxiliary verb that is an expression of determination or assertion. It states that something ‘is’ a certain way. です is considered to be the polite variation of だ.
です connects to words in exactly the same way as だ, but is also regularly seen attached to the end of い-Adjectives.

Structure 1: Noun + だ

Examples:
I am a college student.
大学生です。
大学生=daigakusei

It is a store.
店です。
店=mise

Structure 2: Adjective + です

Example:
It is beautiful.
綺麗です。
綺麗=kirei

It is funny.
面白いです。
面白い=omoshiroi

Caution:
Although です is regularly attached to the end of い-Adjectives, some may actually consider this incorrect Japanese, and it should not be used in formal writing. In daily ‘spoken’ language/texting, however, it is completely normal.

It is hot.
暑いです。
暑い=atsui

は As for... (highlights sentence topic)

は (pronounced わ) is often considered to be one of the most difficult particles to master in Japanese, alongside が. は marks the topic of the sentence, and describes the whole sentence broadly. However, が primarily marks single actions or statements.
は is usually said to highlight what comes after it, while が highlights what comes before it.

Example:
I dislike tests.
テストは嫌いです。

Tanaka-san is a teacher.
田中さんは先生です。
田中=tanaka 先生₌sensei

が Subject marking particle, Identification particle

が is considered to be the subject marker in Japanese. This means that it marks someone or something that is performing an action, or it identifies someone or something as having a specific feature (this is usually a feature that the listener is not aware of).
が is usually said to highlight what comes before it, while は highlights what comes after it.

Structure: Subject + が

Example:
I like coffee.
コーヒーが好きです。
好き=suki

も Also, Too, As well, Even, Either, Neither

も can mean ‘too/also’, or ‘even’, or ‘neither/either’, depending on if the sentence is affirmative or negative. Multiple meanings like this are quite common for Japanese particles, as there is no need to use different words simply to agree with other statements in the sentence (unlike English).

THE GAME AWARDS: 2022 Nomination Announcement

Recently, I am thinking about how to judge the quality of the games.
So even though I don't have any favorite games this year, I am trying to follow the activity of TGA.

For me, there are five attributes to judge games.

• Playability
• Story
• Vision - Visual Art, Graphic Effect
• Audio - Score and Music, Sound Effect
• Creativity

I will try to give scores of games in the four attributes.
For every attribute, I give scores from 0 to 10.

For example, recently I finished playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance.
P: 8
S: 7
V: 7
A: 7
C: 7

And the last game I played and I am fond of is What Remains of Edith Finch.
P: 8
S: 9
V: 9
A: 9
C: 10

Notes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_video_game_terms

Where did my free time go

• September: I went to Fukuoka to get vaccines of yellow fever (and Hepatitis A)
• September: I played the game "The Scroll of Taiwu", I played the game four years ago, I thought after four years' work, this game could get improved a lot. However, this game is really disappointing, the scripts of the story are very awful. Even though I like the framework of the game, it just has too many bugs. I think it is possible for indie games from China to be awesome, but of course, not this one.
• I started to watch a Japanese TV Show "Doctor-X: Surgeon Michiko Daimon" and I finished it. Sometimes I could be able to watch the show in Japanese Audio as well as in Japanese Subtitles.
• I had a long trip last month, I went to Ethereum DevCon in Bogota, Colombia first, but I felt worse for this industry for there are too many lies and scams. Then I was in Miami, New York, San Francisco, Mountain View, and Los Angeles.
  I visited Waseda University, The University of Tokyo, Stanford University, and The University of Southern California. I went to Unity and Ubisoft but failed to get inside without any reservations.
  The atmospheres between the universities in the US and Japan are pretty obvious. The campuses of the US universities are usually big, and the culture is more open and free; while in Japan things follow more rules which makes things to a higher standard but lose some creativity. For example, Nintendo is my favorite game company, but working there might not be a perfect idea as it could be stressful and not as fun as their games 🤣.
  10/04: Yonago(YGJ) -> Tokyo(HND)
  10/06: Tokyo(HND) -> Bogota(BOG)
  10/15: Bogota(BOG) -> Miami(MIA)
  10/17: Miami(MIA) -> New York(LGA)
  10/19: New York(EWR) -> San Francisco(SFO) -> Mountain View [Uber]
  10/21: Mountain View -> San Francisco -> Los Angeles [Bus]
  10/23: Los Angeles(LAX) ->Dallas(DFW)
  10/24: Dallas(DFW) -> Tokyo(NRT)
  10/26: Tokyo(HND) -> Yonago(YGJ)

Coming Schedule

• I have to study driving, it's the last thing I should do here in Yonago before moving to big cities.
• I need to study more Japanese, and hopefully to take part in a JLPT(Japanese-Language Proficiency Test) test.
• Premiere Pro + After Effect + Illustrator Courses.
• Connect AI Painting Function to my Discord bot.
• To make a video about a "hero" who fought against the Chinese dictatorship for 12 years. He died or got arrested last year.
• I am trying to become a (indie) game developer in the future. I am going to prepare for it and work hard on it.

TGA: The Best Indie Games / The Best Independent Games

The Game Awards starts from 2014;
Spike Video Game Awards starts from 2003 (from 2008 for independent games).

To Study & To Remember

The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive.
—— Albert Einstein [1879-1955]
一個人的價值，在於他貢獻了什麼；而不在於他獲得了什麼。
—— 阿爾伯特・愛因斯坦

The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.
—— Albert Einstein [1879-1955]
這個世界不會純粹因為惡魔而被徹底毀滅的，真正會讓世界無藥可救的，是那些任由洪水滔天而無動於衷、袖手旁觀的「無辜」群眾。
—— 阿爾伯特・愛因斯坦

Prologue

I have a habit to write down something every day, it's private and sometimes very short and unorganized.
But I think, I should start to write something better and more formal.
Even it can't be every day, at least every month.
Okay, this is the plan now 😳

It has been more than 2 years since I moved here, the peaceful beautiful small town in Yonago, Japan.
I didn't feel happy for the past two years; on the contrary, I felt extremely lonely. It is my choice anyway, and also, getting tricked of destiny by the horrible pandemic. I tried my best to help stop the pandemic but most people didn't care and many might wanted to have it. It totally changed my plan, it not only changed my view of China where I was born, but also destroyed my trust in this world.

But recently, I have made more changes. Actually, I felt better dropping the hope that the world changes better soon by someone or some organization.
The world is heavy, complicated, and filled with large areas of grey and even black. I am fighting against them, but I know I can never win as humanity has both good and evil sides in everyone, it is the same for me. I should live with them, I have to. the most thing I could do is to avoid doing the bad things myself. Different people have different standards of bad things, unluckily I think many things many people are doing are bad things. Seriously trying to be a good person is not easy and sometimes got hurt a lot. But anyway, it has been my choice.
The good thing is, I started to focus on my dreams again. I am going to achieve them. I am going to achieve them. I am going to achieve my dreams one day.
