Is it available on the internet archive or a computer museum site to try out the UI?

And people laugh at Rockstar for not showing footage before the leak.

People are sharks. It's best not to ever preview what's going to happen. Then you can't lose.

Sad but true.

Hl3 when.

Next time don't tell anyone until it's out.

I know web design isn't really related to what the article is about, but if modern Japanese web design is anything to go by, good. Here's some random product (a phone case) I clicked on from the biggest Japanese online store (Rakuten), roughly the equivalent of amazon. Let me know if the product info seems well organized and easy to read, and tell me how long it takes to find the section that you can choose a different color and model (hint: it's not at the top or bottom of the page).

Japanese customers genuinely do like it like that. Rakuten do A/B testing up the wazoo just like every other big ecommerce company.

It's almost like they have another culture than North American or European...

If you view it on mobile its right at the top under the price

[–] setsubyou@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Yeah on mobile I think it’s okay. Still a bit overloaded but a far cry from what Japanese web pages can be like on desktop browsers. Sometimes they’re like web design stopped in 1999 and since then all they did was add more blinky banners around the actual content.

Every other Japanese site I've looked at had a lot more information density than this. Looks like they've been plenty affected by crappy modern design.

It's funny because I trust the Japanese government even less than the American government.

[–] melfie@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 week ago (7 children)

I suppose I’m not that up to date on Japanese government and politics. Can you elaborate?

[–] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago

They refuse to admit all the horrible things the country did during WWII.

Interesting how many TRON Association members were also adoptees of the MSX standard, which had similar (but less ambitious) goals to be "the" world computer interoperability standard. i wonder if that was why they jumped off the project at the first sign of trouble, thinking it was a good thing they didn't keep all of their eggs in one basket. NEC likely ended up outperforming them both with the PC-98 anyway

Excuse me what?
