Show HN: Documenting an Obscure Japanese Wii Game – and-Kensaku

I have been using Claude for the past couple of days this week to document and modify the TR2 game file format for an obscure Japanese-exclusive Wii game called And-Kensaku, or 安藤ケンサク. And-Kensaku is a game related to Googling. There are a few game modes, but the most famous one asks you a question and gives you two answer options, and you win if you choose the most popular Google search. I...

Ask HN: 5th Month of Unemployment and Still No Job

Posted by TylerJaacks on Tuesday December 16, 2025 @12:56PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I graduated university in December 2022. After interning at my former company for about a year, I was hired full-time, working on federal healthcare contracts for the HHS. In August of this year, I was laid off after the federal government canceled all the contracts I was working on, and there were no other positions available for me. I had been at the company full-time for almost three years...

I previously had on of the major ISPs in my State/Region and it was aweful, they suck. Then a relatively new company came in and I switched and it was finally fiber and cable and it is amazing. Its not perfect these are companies at the end of the day. But if it weren't for this new company I would be forced by no competion not because of the service of the ISP.
Re:WinDurango – Xbox One Compatiability Layer for Windows on Monday October 07, 2024 @07:49PM (#41772345)
So I'm a little late posting this here, but over the past three years, I have been working on what was formerly known as XBONEmu, a way to play Xbox One titles on a Windows computer. About a month ago, I decided to make this project more open; we now have a Discord server and are accepting contributions. Currently, we don't have any games that boot, but we are looking for people skilled in reverse engineering, Windows internals, and those with a strong C++ background.

I was looking into this and haven't seen much news of late. This would be an amazing product if widely available. Unfortunately knowing the current state of US pharmaceuticals, this would cost the price of your mortgage.

I'm sure but housing situation is out of control. Paying 2K a month for a 1 bedroom apartment where your roommates are mice and roaches.

I love this project but it pisses me off that they lock services behind a paywall.

I wish some of the services weren't locked behind a paywall.

I know this isn't in academia but I had an abusive team lead that projected his own insecurities and personal life problems on me and the team. He would gaslight us and accuse of stuff based on what previous people had done. Also my supervisor was a right wing loon that would allow sexual harassment to take place and participate in it. We would force his political agendas on people. Thank god I got let go for budget reasons.
