(BONUS QUESTION) How do you think games have changed your style?
The games I play always have amazing style. I got inspiration from games for my hairstyle (Yakuza). They would also inspire me to go to the gym. I like the clothing but I don't think I could wear those Final Fantasy or Dynasty Warriors clothes (lol).

Twitter Practice: The Classes I've Attended
My ex-boss convinced me to join Twitter. I didn't get the point of it at first, but after that, I've mastered it. I've been asked to attend many social media seminars and also to test on various mistakes on the way I tweeted. I've made many mistakes and it turned out I got unfollowed - this used to be a matter to me, but now, meh, I don't give a shit. But I'm always open to follow people (doesn't need to have a requirement for a follow back) because I stalk you, I learn from you - so if you're on my following list, that means you're interesting! If you haven't been followed back, just give me a shout really, so I know you're a human, not a bot.
Today I have time to show you what I've learned from the past lessons. Twitter is obviously different than Facebook, that's why those who love Facebook might not get the point of Twitter - Oh hey, that's me back in 2009. Enough of bull shit, right to the point and here we go.
- Be original and post unique information and insights 3-4 times a day. I usually do more than that since I'm now back and have more time spent on the Internet. Oh well, it's my job.
- Read and reply to people's tweets with relevant replies. The Interactions are always important, that's why it's called social network.
- ( * )( * ) - Boobies? Yes, boobies. Occasionally post something way off-topic (for whatever reason, this works marvelously).
- Have a good Twitter avatar and update it occasionally - your own face though, not a logo. Well, this is more targeted to the self-branding views (individuals).
- Search for people on Twitter to talk about your interests and passions and connect with them.
- Inspire the network (with what you've been through, not copying and pasting) and give people enough room to retweet.
It's not hard to get a device to create your content on the Internet, as most of the things are digital these days - You have your phone, you have the camera, you have the apps, you can do so many things with it. So here are some of the things you can create on your Twitter.
- Podcast (host a tweetup, debate, radio interview - this would offer a high level of exposure.)
- Contest (perhaps once a week to be generous, only if you have something interesting you would like to give to your audience though.)
- Blog (write an article, interview, report - be confident to show that you're passionate and an expert in your field.)
- Video Tutorials (some interesting travel video? costume making if you're a cosplayer? video from the event?)
- Pictures (some beautiful pictures you took from your iPhone's Instagram app? Not food spams all over the place though!)
So, here comes the hard task. It's never easy to create a good content yourself. So let's say if I sit here in the office whole day, staying at home 7 days a week, I would not have many interesting stuffs to tweet. So how?
For me, I work in Tecmo Koei, in day time, I have some gaming tweets to come. At night time, I might have some fitness and inspirational tweets to keep me going. And sometimes, when I see some really interesting stuffs on the Internet, I would just share right away (of course it has to fit into my dirty sense of humour). But yeah, I create most of my "interesting" content during weekends when I have events to attend and some good moments with my friends that I would like to share.
Just be who you are on Twitter really. We are humans, not bots, so we have our opinions and you don't really need to force yourself to fit into others or scared of getting unfollowed.
"Don’t worry about who doesn’t follow you. Worry about creating interesting value."
And also - don't be afraid to make mistakes because this is how we can pick things up, realize and fix ourselves.
This is really what I've learned in the past months and finally I've got time to share. Of course, I'm not completely right (but it's from what I've learned and put into practice).
At the end of the day, it really is you do what is right and good for yourself. If people can't accept you, it's their freaking problem. What we have to do is to be wise and do what is right (if there's a mistake, admit it and fix it), the remaining dramas are theirs not ours. There isn't a fixed rule in social network, really.
And always remember...
"Be a human, not a bot. Even if you want to be a bot, make sure you know your functionality and all that. Knowing yourself is always better than believing in what others tell you who you are."
That is all.
Guys, this is possible. If this has taken me 2 years due to my busy schedule, I'm sure you can get it even quicker. #KeepGoingBaby
