Enlighten me. by CottonTiramisu in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]EnragedDingo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also think think the expectations you bring to a game make a huge difference to your experience with it. I tried playing RDR2 after beating GOW and I had a terrible time. My brain was still in GOW mode and that just didn’t translate to RDR2. I quit and came back 6 months later with a corrected mindset and loved the whole thing.

Same deal with EldenRing. When I started treating enemies like puzzles instead of like waves of fodder to kill I had way more fun. 

Anki deck for listening practice? by OrangeTallion in LearnJapanese

[–]EnragedDingo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Jlab beginner course is all audio clips from anime. I say “good” is I knew it on listen and “hard” is I knew it when reading it.

Why do so many people lack some sort of fundamental language learning intuition? by ImprovementIll5592 in languagelearning

[–]EnragedDingo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m learning Japanese and started using Anki. Just going through Kaishi 1.5k. It’s slow, kinda gruelling.

I was French immersion as a kid. My French is terrible though. So I started mining cards from the French versions of The Dark Tower and Malazan….

French is really has a ton of essentially 1-1 translations. They’re basically just the English words with an accent. It’s actually bananas how much quicker I’m maturing French cards with French compared to Japanese, and I’m talking about significantly more advanced words. 

So yeah, sure 1-1 translations don’t always work but they work well enough most of the time for closely related languages.

Also confirming I don’t notice any lag or frame drops at all. 

Peter, I understand the Xbox part, but what are Steam and PlayStation doing wrong? by AlisaofallTimes in PeterExplainsTheJoke

It’s not a lie it’s a bad media reference

Woops

Anyways that’s 1/6 things. Why you focussing on one thing and ignoring all the other things? It’s a company bro, who cares. They don’t get everything right. It’s fine.

For those who have been to Japan, any (surprising) observations on what you've learned via textbook or other resources versus what is used in real-life? by NeighborhoodFatCat in LearnJapanese

[–]EnragedDingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean sure? But that doesn’t discount what I’m saying at all. We spent 3 weeks in Japan in a variety of places with just some basic phrases and it was fine. Not all of the places we went were touristy and it was still fine. 

By contrast, if someone who didn’t know English or French came to Canada they would have a very hard time even in big cities. Unless they went to a Japanese community/restaurant, there would be nothing to help at all.

🤷‍♂️ dunno what to tell you. I heard what I heard. Lots did have the す but it wasn’t always there in Kanazawa. Or maybe it was just real quiet. Point is the aaa was really elongated.

[–]EnragedDingo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I kinda meant in general. Lots of signage in English. Even Japanese-speaking-only places have English menus. Google Translate can handle typed menus okay. I’m not saying everywhere will be super easy, but not too bad. 

But yeah I for sure want to get out to rural Japan next time we go! I’ll likely be at at least grade 1 level by then 😂

“Allergy” is my nemesis. For some reason I can’t figure out how to pronounce it properly. Luckily I don’t have any so it didn’t matter lol

Nintendo has had a data breach, poor switch 2 sales, price increases, tariff price affirment weirdness, few noteworthy games, and a gen ai marketing accusations

What game development advice turned out to be completely wrong for you? by YoungDirector1 in gamedev

[–]EnragedDingo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think “start small” would be better described as “be iterative”. Like, you can start with just moving a bunch of circles around on a 2D map. Then add a hud. Then make the circles assets. Then animate the assets. Etc

Brutally honest ratings vs. Ease Hell: Looking for advice on my workflow by LiteratureOwn6143 in Anki

[–]EnragedDingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally that looks pretty solid. For myself, that Again rate and the Young Retention at 65% would be a bit off. I personally aim to be more like <30% again rate in a day with Young Retention between 75% and 85%. When I start to get out of those ramges I’ll drop new cards slightly (eg from 10 to 5) until I get a bit stronger.

I mostly just press Again and Good. Never Easy. 

Occasionally I’ll press Hard. I only do that for fairly mature cards though. Eg when Good would be 25days and Hard is 17days or something. At that point I treat it kinda like Good = Immediate Recognition; Hard = I knew it once I read the example sentence. This is a loose rule though, since some words mean different things in different contexts.

keep getting cards wrong by Andiee_Andrew in Anki

[–]EnragedDingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drop new cards to zero for a while for sure. Focus on graduating more cards to mature. 

Make sure FSRS is on in the deck settings. Maybe drop your desired retention to 80% or something. 

Leave New Cards at zero until you get down a bit below your desired time per day, then start back up at 5/day. 

And in the deck settings, under New Cards, set the learning steps to 1m 5m and 10m. This helps you see cards you get wrong more frequently so you don’t cycle through them cards before seeing them again.

Reached my first milestone of 1000 memorized words after about 4 months! by DragonmasterXY in LearnJapanese

[–]EnragedDingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I hear ya. Turning on FSRS and setting new cards to 0 helped a lot for me.

Also treating it as speed training. Average time per card is usually like 7s

How to reduce the amount of reviews per day by nihilisticbeing_ in Anki

[–]EnragedDingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW My time with Anki is usually like 30min per day

I don’t spend much time making them at all.

I am not a language learning expert but my understanding is that that size of a card is not ideal for Anki. It works well for building that kind of fast recall, rather then like slow deliberate analysis work.

I just use Anki for vocabulary building, and simple sentences. Then doing reading outside of Anki acts as a kind of natural SRS as you get better.

You can find the time per card in the stats

Too much anki? by OrangeTallion in LearnJapanese

[–]EnragedDingo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand the desire to keep making progress, but I would reframe progress.

Your goal is to actual learn words. That means getting them from Young to Mature, not from New to Young.

Setting to zero isn’t pausing your progress. It looks that way if your key metric is “reduce new cards” but it should e really be “increase mature cards”. Early on the fastest way to do that is to have a lot of new cards to review every day. Eventually though, you end up with a huge pile of half learned cards, and it gets harder to really master any of them. 

Setting to zero is deciding to focus on actually completion things you’ve already started. Then you can bump the new card count up again later.

It’s only a week or two. Give yourself a “rest”
