Re: Yamauchi No.10 Family Office
#52Craziest ever? Not really cmod ;) Update title to Yamauchi No.10 Family Office crazy website or something
It's tricky because "Yamaguchi No.10 Family Office" is //such// a beautiful understatement for what this is.
Re: Yamauchi No.10 Family Office
#53That’s interesting, my 2015 MbP had glitchy sound, stutter and fans spun right up while my iPhone 7 deals just fine with it.
Same. MBP mid 2014, chrome, very stuttery.

I love Nintendo as much as the next guy but they're hypocrites when they come to comments like the above because they're second only to Disney with regards to how aggressively they chase after their IP. So many fun indie projects have been taken down because of Nintendo. And we're not even talking about commercial games but stuff kids have thrown together as tribute to Nintendo and have put online. YouTube reviews, T…
Yeah, I get that. I feel like the trademark and copyright system is set up that way where lawyers are incentivized to defend IP. Some consider it a must, to protect those IPs. At any rate, I would love to see something like a decentralized Disney or Nintendo spring up in the world. Like a decentralized universe of open source characters that people could interact with and riff on. Something like what happens with mem…
But isn’t it the strict control of brand and image that make those characters so enjoyed. If you let anyone do anything they can change/misrepresent the brand in an irreversible way... just like Pepe...

I don't think this is unique to Nintendo though. I feel like it's a Japan Culture thing. There's a kick start project for Street Fighter history where a studio backed out of doing an interview due to it not being sanctioned by Capcom. When ever I need to work with companies in Japan, it's a struggle of bureaucracy and politics.
Japan has strict IP laws with no concept of fair use, so you do need to get permission for a lot of things. That's part of why entertainment journalism like games/music is super bland there.
(Of course there's also a big unofficial fanart for profit community, which some companies tolerate because it gets them an artist pipeline.)

Those characters are enjoyed because of the strength of the games that feature them. Nintendo's recent abuse of DMCA is only hurting that legacy. As the grandparent pointed out, Sega are nowhere near this litigious.
Re: Yamauchi No.10 Family Office
#57Besides being a beautiful website, I was rather touched by their call to action: "Seeking stability only clouds your soul. Fear of failing only kills the seeds of innovation. We must create a more exciting future where people feel free to dream and leap into a world of possibilities. We must create a freer future where people are eager to truly live." It's hard not to love Nintendo. Also TLDR for those that didn't sc…
> We must create a more exciting future where people feel free to dream and leap into a world of possibilities.
Unfortunately this is standard marketing pablum for Japanese companies, with "future" (mirai) and "dream" (yume) both being particularly common tropes. Alan Booth talks about this back in 1995 in Looking for the Lost:
> I passed through the pavilion's Dream Tunnel into the World of Dream and from there to the Parades of Dream and Play. ... Technology, specifically the technology of Mitsui, Toshiba, and the rest beyond his wildest, yes, dreams, can help you fly again. "Love, love, love!" sings a choir as we file out of the pavilion. "You can reach the sky, if you only try!"

#58Attention: It nearly flipping fried my CPU. But awesome site. Tested On both Safari and Chrome on macOS. 100% CPU usage when scrolling. Edit: On WOW, from the comments I decide to try it on my iPhone 11. Ultra Smooth Rendering with Music ( which wasn't even playing on my Mac ). And my phone isn't even warm after a minutes of playing around. Amazing Which makes me wonder. Why?
It must be something Mac specific.
It runs very smoothly on Chrome + Windows with a dated computer.

#59From a frontend devs perspective this actually is pretty crazy. I was going through the markup for 5 minutes and could barely tell what is what and how stuff is rendered. Chapeau!
Same here. Although digging in a bit there is some really cool css tricks in here. Any idea who the developer is?
Sadly no. What I do however found interesting was the client-side redirect to https as well as the usage of jQuery. And the fact that a lot of text is in SVG
