Those are entirely different thing.
It’s just classic case of Sony doesn’t want to pay additional license of Japanese voice for non-JP release.
Whenever Japanese VA is available, the option are presents on every single game release on Steam except of Western big budget AA or AAA-developed games.
Oftentimes, niche genre only can survive on platform with huge reach.
Releasing it only on DLsite or GOG means either they have to drive up the price to even cover the development cost. This often happen on niche Nintendo games or big budget R18+ on DLsite.
Some big budget games on DLsite can reach around 70USD, while when it gets released on Steam it’s only 20-40USD.
I love Steam, but I don’t like how their rules seems to biased against Japanese games.
There are plenty of JP games outright refused by Steam despite have zero have adult content, and perfectly fine on being released on GOG, (edit: and also Nintendo!) or other digital platform.
Especially with visual novels and games with psychology theme.
If you have tech-savvy friend, try ask them a good repair shop.
Sometimes, Google review or any online review are not helpful as most of the reviewer are casual users that might be get tricked by the shop.
What makes the chart “only” on 3% is Chinese users. English Linux user alone has more than 6% percentage of Linux users.
We need Chinese government for their independent tech stack to include Linux further. At the moment, there are already several Chinese distro with big companies porting their basic apps to Linux (like chat app, office app, etc).
If Chinese gov force gaming company to support Linux as well, we will see a huge surge evenmore. There are a huge number of Chinese game that never made out of China, and exclusive to PC only.
Yep. It’s 100% digital painting. All photo manipulation features are either minimal implementation or simply does not exist.
All the developement roadmap are often times trying to replicate Clip Studio Paint as it becomes the most used digital painting software for newer generation. Like comic/manga layout, integrated 3D pose, etc.
It has Ai features by subscription to Canva Premium.
Fan manga and other doujin works usually depends on the original copyright holder for enforcement.
Some are pretty open for any fanworks being commercialized as long it’s limited and case by case basis. For example, Love Live franchise allows doujin manga and other doujinshi works, but not with fanmerch. Serial Experiments Lain generally allows various stuff, but not R18 content. Some others like Yakitate Japan mangaka just happy seing his works have so many adult doujin manga, and even lining up on Comiket buying them.
It’s not open source, sadly…
Feature-wise, it’s entirely different from Mastodon and other Twitter-clone. Though, these days Mastodon copies a lot of features from Tumblr as well.
Example difference: quote feature (not the same as exisiting Mastodon implementation), custom UI, discovery layout, etc.
Well, fuck. Most of people use F-Droid on “certified vendors” device.
I’m actually a Photoshop and CSP users that regularly report missing features to Krita and GIMP. Even Krita dev often ask community which featuers they want from CSP. Some example that GIMP and Krita does not have that I remember:
A lot of advance features of Photoshops simply does not exist on any FOSS alternative.
That site is actually relatively notable among Adian comic readers, as it also provide manga, manhua, manhwa, Indonesian comics, Thai comcis, and more stuff.
Most of their content are aggregated from Mangadex. It also accept user submission. Some scanlation use the site after Mangadex’s Kakao webtoon DMCA and 1000+ of manga DMCA.
They cannot do that to every manufacturer, as most of countries are incentivized to not dependent on American or any foreign product.
I can see China or European manufacturer will slowly move from Windows. At least China already learning the hard way from Android-Huawei relationship.
Yeah, it’s a little bit unstable as it basically a totally new project. Surely promising though!
fooyin. It’s foobar2000 clone but fully FOSS. It’s also adding a lot of features that foobar2000 does not have.
Not a solution for most people, unfortunately…
I actually use it for some PC, still missing a lot of features tho.
I remember several conversation on Twitter from Japanese dev. They already consider Steam as monopoly, especially as Japanese PC game scene itself has already several competing store, from DMM, DLsite, Getchu, Melonbooks, Booth.pm, and so on.
