i love the idea that there's certain books that are considered biblical but depending on which sect of bible-following you belong to, they point at it and go 'not canon'
its like a candy pick and mix except its the origin of existence

This is a compilation of every intro of beatmania IIDX from the very first game to its 32ND VERSION, if you wanna see one hell of a really cool evolution of UI, give this a watch. I literally wouldn't have been a graphic designer if not for this series.

I say this with utmost respect, but Taylor is an absolute tool for saying this privately or publicly.
I can say on good authority that it takes 7 to 10 years to develop game development skills to “good enough” to produce commercial game content. 7-10 years plus the cost of a university education.
