  3. Complementing Higan (彼岸) is Shigan (此岸), meaning the 'Near Shore'.
    Higan is the Pure Land (the World of Buddha), whereas Shigan is our world (the World of the Living).
    At equinox, day and night are of equal length, and thus the world is in perfect balance.

  8. Week-long services called Higan-e (彼岸会) are held at temples. It's usual for people first to listen to sermons and then visit family graves.

    Whereas 'Spring Higan' (春彼岸) typically shows gratitude for all living things, 'Autumn Higan' (秋彼岸) gives thanks to the dead.

  14. OMG I am hyped! Only minutes ago it all started with a simple test if my PC with #LinuxMint actually can detect the #Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. What can I say? It went surprisingly smooth. Basically it was a simple pair and play. Directly installed #higan.....
    Well, I guess there goes my evening 🙉

  16. @greyor if you want to restrict yourself to a controller, then controls for some games are indeed a bit of an issue, especially with for instance function keys, or needing the alphanumeric keyboard for inputs such as names.

    I have yet to try #higan (or the new #byuu I guess?) for #MSX emulation, as I'm very used to #openMSX, especially with its reverse and replay options for creating gameplay recordings. :)

  17. Speaking of emulation, I took the plunge and cloned the #higan git repo, since I might as well use bleeding-edge builds until another major stable release comes out. Should be fun.

  18. @byuu
    I wasn't aware #higan did #MSX emulation :)
    While I'm predominantly an #openMSX user, I'll have to try yours out one of these days when I get my PC back in working order. :)

  19. @byuu, author of #bsnes and #higan, wrote a passionate and #inspirational article about daring to learn to experiment and not get put down by people who say you should stick to what you know and use stable things rather than trying to #rollYourOwn:

    They describe how they went from being a fan of #RPGe #fanTranslations to getting into #ROMhacking, to #emulation and #electronics. Definitely worth a read.
