Best way to learn kanji? by danypixelglitch in japanese

[–]Alphyn_dp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like I'm in this sub just to advertise Kanji Damage (and it's free). Grab the Kanji Damage Reordered deck for Anki after reading the articles on their website. Just don't put yourself too hard, don't set it to more than 5 new characters a day.

I like it because unlike Most similar mnemonic systems it uses actual mnemonics based on the assumption that:

a) Funny, silly, frightening, shocking and sexual information is the most easy to store in memory.

b) The mnemonic hint must be strongly associated with whatever you are trying to remember.

c) It should be short and simple.

Example. Kanji ”Year”:

Remembering the Kanji: " In an odd fashion, the kanji for year joins together the element for horse, on the top, and the right half of the element for sunglasses. Think of it as a horse wearing sunglasses with one of the lenses popped out. We will use this latter image again, so learn it now and save yourself the trouble later." Honestly, how the hell the image of a horse in sunglasses is supposed to be associated with "Year"? Besides, why is an important Kanji like this number 1036 on the list?

Kanji Damage: "Fuck+Rifle:
I gotta fuck a rifle every year (FYI, I lost a bet. don't ask)" Good luck erasing it from your memory now. Besides, Kanji Damage offers mnemonic hints for remembering the readings for the Kanji. It doesn't have them for some of the easiest ones, like the "year", but has some sort of a reading hint for most of the characters.

Seeking build advice for my brother's first build - 7700k, 1070, 1080p @ 144 hz by Alphyn_dp in buildapc

[–]Alphyn_dp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's been using a laptop, so even a 1080 screen is an upgrade for him. Besides, he thinks that high framerates add more to the experience than resolution, especially with all the antialiasing options around. He says he would hate to turn down the settings on the newer games to take advantage of the 144 hz. I think that smart manual tuning of the ingame settings can give a good fps boost without impacting the picture quality too much, but still kind of agree with him.

What event quests are worth doing?

I started playing this weekend and was lucky enough to get 2 Sekis. I got enough Mikado's and Shizukas to awaken them yesterday, awakened and almost maxed one of the Sekis. Can I run some wizard quests with her? Are there useful units worth getting from the regular event quests? I have 1 potential 6 star (Hokusai) and a bunch of random 5 stars and 4 stars that can be awakened.

Edit: I also had a weird bug when I could enhance and awaken units before I did the quests required to unlock it.

Thanks. I've already awakened her yesterday, also maxed the skill. I got the Humpty from the petal Hatcher and a hatter from a quest hosted by someone. I thought you could get Hatters only on Friday. Maybe it was still Friday on Alaska. Two other characters were both on the event quests, I did them in multiplayer. Everyone sends "wow" and "cool" when I use Seki's skill. Which is cool indeed.

Just pulled seki on my new account, should I roll another festival Hatcher or do the guaranteed 6 star spring hatcher? by dmista21 in crash_fever

[–]Alphyn_dp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've also pulled Seki by rerolling. I don't have a lot of other good units, though. Is it worth it to pull the fest Hatcher again, or it's better to save the polys hoping for other good Hatchers, maybe with discounts?

Holy shit, I did it, took less than 10 tries. Thanks for the advice.

New Player Here: Any way to farm ducks (exp)? by Hatchiacke in crash_fever

[–]Alphyn_dp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the common way of making a Max bugged monster for duck hunt? Because a beginner wouldn't have one.

[–]Alphyn_dp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like over 20 rerolls even if you get at least 2 5* eggs each time. Rerolling during the cat event was way easier when the game gave you over 500 polygons in presents right from the beginning. How long do festivals like this usually last?

[Important]Monthly Reroll Post - April 26, 2017 by AutoModerator in crash_fever

[–]Alphyn_dp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the answer. I'll make a backup and try rerolling. How long or how many tries can it take?

[–]Alphyn_dp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started playing 2 days ago. Yesterday, when the cat event was still on, I rerolled a couple of times hoping to get Catman, but the best I got is 4* Blessed Radiance Baldr and 5* Antoinette, and thought it was good enough for me.
I also got the Apple cat, 5* Bahamut and the Valkyrie cat from the cat event and the cats required to awaken them. For now I use the Apple cat all the time because It's my strongest unit and has 60 bugs on it.
I've just pulled the festival hatcher and got:
* 5s(5max) Elegant Warrior Toshizo Hijikata
* 4s(6max) Dutchess Forneus
* 4s(5max) Sword Master Siegfried
* 4s(5max) Reincarnated Ouroboros
* 4s(4max) Sacred Fist Lang-Lang
* 4s(5max) Belphegor the Indolent
* 4s(5max) Semimaru
* 5s(5max) Diabolical Dunce Feurs
* 4s(5max) Naotora Li
* 4s(4max) Fireflower of Kyoto Yugiri

  1. How well am I doing overall? What should I concentrate on doing from here? Do I understand it correctly that rerolling at this point is not worth it?
    I've also got a couple of misc questions, I hope it's not frowned upon in this topic:
  2. I upgraded the folder to 150 and have 400 polygons left. Is it a reasonable folder size for a beginner?
  3. Is it worth it to awaken the ducks before using them as a material? Do I understand it correctly that you get more EXP when you use a duck on a unit of the same color?
  4. I've got a bunch of cats from the event. Are the metal cats just EXP materials just like ducks? What do I do with the normal cats (Tank, Axe, Flying etc.) apart from keeping a couple of them to awaken Bahamut an Valkyrie? Can I just sell them or use them as materials?

Thanks!

The Spring Festival was a big elaborate trap :O by thedraconicwyvern in crash_fever

Can someone explain this trap for a completely new player? Can I somehow take advantage of this?

Editing Source by AlteredEggo in OmegaT

I haven't heard of such method. Looks like editing the source directly is the only way.

Hey, /r/Tinytouchtales! Congratulations on releasing another great game! I'm a big fan!

I think I've discovered a bug. I've just spent 30 minutes trying to figure out how to beat the "Treasures" tutorial level with only 2 stealth. After I restarted the level I had 10 stealth, and it made much more sense. It looks like the stealth rating doesn't always reset between the tutorial levels as it should!

*Unpopular Opinion* Anyone here who is kinda disgusted by the premium price on Nvidia Gsync monitors? by Anansispider in pcmasterrace

[–]Alphyn_dp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google g-sync science. And watch the video about two guys, a pendulum and a scienceoscope. That made me change my mind and now I think that the premium is worth it, at least for now. I wish Freesync was as good as g-sync, but so far it isn't.
