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 🤣.
