So actually: "Japanese Game Developer rarely leaves his house." I can see why they went with their own headline, though.

Also, it's an apartment, not a house. Also, not his apartment, his aunt's apartment. "Japanese Game Developer rarely leaves his aunt's apartment."

This thread is a brilliant example of CTR-centric articles, because you're right, why would I click that?

There are probably many resources available in Japanese to learn programming/game development. But, English is the foundation of almost everything in the information age.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Because at some point you'll start tripping over it.

Aside from edge cases like Crystal Gayle, I'd bet few people can grow their hair long enough to trip over.

You’re right, because hair has a terminal length! Your hair falls out naturally and over time the chances are the hairs that fall out will be the long ones, you end up with a practically maximum hair length.

Has anyone told this guy that it's really easy to cut your own hair? Especially if you don't need to impress anyone.

If you don't need to impress anyone, why cut it at all?

I find longer hair harder to manage than shorter. Easier to cut it very short every 6 months than wear it super long.

It is a shame that the hikkomori is a trend and becoming popular with COVID.

Eh, I doubt many people become hikikomoris because it's trendy. In Japan, it's usually understood to be a reaction to social pressures, basically dropping out of all the various societal rat races (work, dating, "adulting") simultaneously.
