Home Alone but instead of an 8-year old kid its a 27-year old software engineer who works remotely and is still scared of their neighbor

During the development of TEKKEN3 (Arcade release was in 1997, but development took less than two years, 1996-1997), we tried many animation captures, and Minoru Suzuki was one of them. He gave us ideas for all kinds of throws and throw combos, as well as capturing the King's stance.
Also, the Arm Lock Suplex wrestling move that Michele and Julia perform was originally invented by Minoru Suzuki in the real world and taught to female wrestlers.
Incidentally, at that time, the technology was called magnetic capture, not optical capture, and Minori Suzuki was performing the King's moves with a large number of spaghetti-like cables attached all over her body.
By the way, this is a side note, but the weakness of magnetic capturing is that it not only restricts the actor's movements and is not very accurate, but it is literally heavily influenced by magnetism, so it did not work at all just because a train was passing by. It was even affected by all kinds of large vehicles and radio waves, which made it very difficult to record the data properly.
He never complained about any of the difficulties, but solemnly and professionally carried out his work. He was a very gentlemanly fighter.
At that time, Minoru Suzuki taught us, TEKKEN PROJECT, a lot about the physical and mental aspects of being a fighter.
and One day, I asked him,
"Ground techniques have become popular in recent years, and I often see fighters losing consciousness due to choke holds in fights. How is it possible for a fighter with such a thick neck to fall so easily?" I asked.
(At that time, MMA was still in its infancy, and the structure of jiu-jitsu techniques was not widely known to the public.)
Minoru Suzuki told me that the best way to learn is to experience it, so I decided to experience his techniques at namco's animation capture studio.
His choke easily knocked me out as I watched the second hand on my watch. I thought I had fallen asleep for 20~30 minutes, when in fact the clock had ticked forward only 8~10 seconds. It was an amazing experience.
(*By the way, it is not a good idea for you to imitate this, because I had a fair amount of experience in martial arts such as judo, karate, and taekwondo, and above all, Minoru Suzuki was a professional instructor).
Every time I have had the opportunity to conduct an animated capture of a professional martial artist, I have attempted to experience their techniques in action.
What I learned from those experiences. Yes, while I am honing my headshot skills every night on video games, they are working on their skills and physical modifications to knock people out every day. You all already understand what that means.....

For October they should replace the singing of Ireland’s Call with our other national anthem: Ghost Town by the Specials.

We've had a load of great talk submissions for NIDC 🧡 Sadly, our speaker diversity has dropped when we had hoped to build on last year. With this in mind, we've decided to extend our call for speakers for ONE MORE WEEK‼️

Indulging the "DEBATE ME!" shitheels does nothing to further the truth. It is exhausting because its purpose is to exhaust you and no credible person should do it.

The very company building the Metaverse is saying that virtual connections are not as good as in-person connections in the workplace?

Are 3D virtual spaces even better for a critical mass of computing applications?
No, which is why you'll still do those using 2D interfaces *inside the 3D virtual world* because if you don't it would just be the internet and not the metaverse.
