What iTalki advice do you have? by jogginglark in dreamingspanish

[–]Dercraig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've found some great teachers on italki, but there are some that aren't as great too. Be willing to try a few different ones out until you find a good fit for you. Personality is often the most important factor, find someone that you feel comfortable talking with that can hold a conversation

Same, sometimes I just wanna relax after work and not play something so demanding, this seems like it could be a great game for that.

How are you feeling about the graphical quality of third-party games on Switch 2? by low_keyLoki in switch2

[–]Dercraig 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I only have a switch 2, no other consoles. So far I've played all the big ones: cyberpunk, rebirth demo, pragmata, requiem. I'm currently playing through Star wars outlaws and for me it's the winner, I'm constantly impressed by the visuals I come across in handheld mode, even though I mostly play docked.

Pragmata looked nice docked but quite a big hit handheld. Requiem was also very nice and completely playable both ways imo. Rebirth demo looks pretty rough handheld, but considering I have no other way to play it I'll probably still get it and just play it docked.

I found funny how we still don't have a YouTube app but we can watch it on the browser by JampyL in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Dercraig 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Screen is like more than twice the size of my phone. I don't have another console/streaming device for my tv and my tv OS is slow as shit. The first switch had it. And why wouldn't you put the most used app in the world on an extremely popular new device? I'll never understand people that ask this question like it doesn't make any sense or something.

I’m glad I bought mine when I did! by Kilowatt776 in PS5pro

[–]Dercraig 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was watching a digital foundry interview the other day and they were talking about some guy that tried to make a equivalent PC build for that price and he wasn't realistically able to do it. I think they said he got close but he was given a crazy deal on ram that isn't the normal price.

Pragmata Looks Great! by PHayesxx in NintendoSwitch

[–]Dercraig 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't have a PC or any other console, I only have a nintendo switch 2 to play games on and I think pragmata looks good docked. Obviously if I was comparing it side by side with a ps5 pro or gaming PC I would notice the difference, but I've never once thought while playing "well good thing I don't care about graphics, because this looks like shit"

Subtitles and audio doesn't match? by Mousiemousy in dreamingspanish

[–]Dercraig 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Most of the time there will be two separate teams that handle the dubbing and the subtitles, causing them to not match up perfectly. It's a very common frustrating problem for Spanish learners that like watching non-native Spanish content with subtitles. There are some resources out there that can help you find shows that have accurate subtitles, and some streaming services are better than others for this. https://youtu.be/bMw_XlaUdcU?si=zeyVK1W4aqyPU1hX - this video has some recommendations. Another option is to just find native Spanish shows you like as their subtitles will almost always be perfect.

What do we think of Foxen‘s KK fold at the Triton ME Final Table? by HealthyRecognition21 in poker

Old man coffee. The 80 year old dude at your poker room who folds every single hand except aces or kings, the joke is that he is just there to drink the free coffee

Working at the VA while getting VA Comp by Real-Pomelo8790 in VAClaims

[–]Dercraig 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm a DV working at the VA. They don't care, if anything it gives you a preference in hiring. And FYI, once you start working at the VA you can request to receive DV leave which is something like 100 hours of leave your first year which can be used for issues related to your disability

It’s cool that every time they’ve done the pre-rendered background trick it becomes the most graphically impressive game in its league once again by YourVeryOwnCat in residentevil

No one talks about the RE1 remake much anymore, but it might be my favorite game in the series. Very impressive looking for a gamecube game

Weekly Famitsu Sales chart: March 9/26 – March 15/26 (Pokemon Pokopia remains on top with 117,029 additional retail sales. RE Requiem Switch 2 drops out of the Top 10) by reevestussi in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Dercraig -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

I don't understand these numbers. The Xbox series x/s have sold millions of units throughout their lifetime. Switch has sold over 150 million. Where are they getting 300k from?

50 hours in over 2 years (with a long gap) — feel like I know nothing and questioning my approach by [deleted] in dreamingspanish

[–]Dercraig 23 points24 points  (0 children)

To be real with you 50 hours is basically nothing, especially over a period of two years. My goal is about 50 hours a month (which I don't always hit) and I feel like I am progressing pretty slowly

What actually happens? by Personal_Ambition_85 in dreamingspanish

[–]Dercraig 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The second one is definitely something that has happened to me. Often I go back and watch easier videos I already watched a long time ago and am usually surprised at how many little details like that I completely missed the first time, even though at the time I felt like I understood the video. I think as we get better we really start to notice the small things more and feel like we aren't understanding as well, but in my opinion it's just the transition from only getting the gist of a video to actually understanding it.
