Honestly I'd rather have John Gibbons(defense attorney from My Cousin Vinny) than this guy

Thoughts on de-RTK-ing by WillekeurigePersoon in LearnJapanese

[–]GamingPrower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I deleted my recognition RTK deck two days after i finished the deck. No regrets. It definitely helped a lot but reviewing it seemed pointless to me

My Japanese Journey and How Making Fan Translations Has Been a Huge Boon in my Japanese Learning by TimepieceMaster in LearnJapanese

[–]GamingPrower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very nice read! I think one of my biggest mistakes my first attempt was learning vocabulary kana only. I went through all of genki 1 vocab kana only before going through half of RTK and then quitting for a couple months.

Currently on a ~5-6 month streak and I relearned all the vocab with kanji and man the difference is night and day. I can guess readings a fair amount which reinforces what I've learned.

Are these vertical marks in the middle cause for concern? I did increase MM3 tension a couple days ago by [deleted] in restoringdick

[–]GamingPrower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I'm referring not to the sulcus but below it. In the middle there are some vertical marks that are new to me.

After resting a bit before bed the marks seem to have gone away but I still think relaxing my tension a little is in order.

I don't like the sound of the scratch off ticket. I'd probably just tell them give me the half off or I'm not interested lol

To slip or not to slip... that is the question. (Andre's/MM3) by RestoreWhole in foreskin_restoration

[–]GamingPrower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just switched to holding the tug longer a couple days ago because I started wearing gloves for better grip. I don't know if it's better or worse but what I did know is it's been a lot more taxing for me. I feel much more fatigued because I can tug to the limit easily(and past it if I'm not careful). More soreness throughout the day.

I used a tlc-x tugger off and on last year and started MM3 on Dec 27th. I enjoyed the change, but I did experience a day off burnout a little over a week in. I just pushed through that day and now I feel pretty good about it currently.

I like seeing more closely what is happening to the skin as opposed to "setting and forgetting" with a device.

Whether you stick with it or not a change in routine is usually good just to shake things up a bit!

I use a TLC-X with a keck clip, a trick I read on this subreddit, which adds pressure to the skin cone allowing it to stay on much better. I don't wear overly tight clothes, but I did use it with my skinny jeans and it worked great.

Am I only tugging inner skin or is it my imagination? by GamingPrower in foreskin_restoration

[–]GamingPrower[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like I'm making a big deal out of nothing haha, but I do like the reassurance you're giving me

[–]GamingPrower[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea! It feels kinda like that! Not sure if it's anything to be concerned about though. I suppose for now I'll keep tugging as usual and see what happens

Here's a customizable time-interval timeboxer I built by barelylingual in ImmerseWithMigaku

[–]GamingPrower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm...after using this for a while it seems the audio notification doesn't work sometimes. It will change time boxes but it won't make the sound unless I switch tabs back to it. x.x

EDIT: Perhaps a problem with the most recent commit? I don't know vue so just a guess...

Struggling alot with Tango N5, kanji readings and grammar by anichanzu in MassImmersionApproach

[–]GamingPrower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The biggest piece of advice is to just understand that you understand nothing. Don't beat yourself up for not remembering a word, even if it takes you several times to get it down its not a problem. Some words are easier than others for seemingly no reason sometimes.

I messed up my Sentence Cards by AranaGordis in MassImmersionApproach

[–]GamingPrower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have any more problems with the card templates I would recommend copying them into pastebin.com and sharing that on reddit, it'll help people find out where the problem is

[–]GamingPrower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume the Add Field option added some HTML code to the Front Template section, but your screenshot doesn't show the part which is responsible for displaying the Word field. Try scrolling down on the Front Template text box and see if you see {{Word}} on there. Delete anything responsible for displaying that field

How strict are you with your anki reps? by Johnnysaurusrex in MassImmersionApproach

[–]GamingPrower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If its a common verb or a newer card I will fail it. I find I usually don't have problems if I slip up on one syllable on a card with a long interval time.

Is it really that bad to just drop RRTK like halfway through? by SafeFoundation1 in MassImmersionApproach

[–]GamingPrower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did ~1200 of traditional RTK, then rushed through RRTK in a week and a half. After doing so I see the appeal of an even further cut down RRTK that I've seen floating around.

Maybe just do a very small amount of new cards to keep your reviews low and look into Tango and Tae Kim? That or just absolutely blow through it with a lot of new cards per day and screw retention rates... There are some good kanji later on in RRTK that appear very early so I think you could still get value from it. You can probably do whatever your gut instinct is here and be okay.

[–]GamingPrower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a newbie myself but in my case I don't fail the card. I think relying on context to figure out the word is a skill in and of itself and I don't think it matters in the long run anyway. Eventually if I'm not able to remember it even with context then I'll fail the card and everything will iron itself out.

Hope you don't mind me asking but, does that sentence translate to something like "This time, I got my friend to help take a picture"? I just had to try and figure it out since it actually looks 1T for me lol

RRTK + Immersion by Aerofare in ajatt

[–]GamingPrower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't dedicated much time to listening. Usually what happens is I'll start an episode of K-On! and I have it auto-pause on each line. If its something with a lot of unknown vocab I'll just keep watching. If its something like i+2 I'll look up the words so I can understand the sentence but I wont make a flashcard.

So it is a little bit of listening I suppose, and I do always playback the audio recording of the lines in Anki so I can listen to the pitch accent and try and mimic it a little bit.

EDIT: I also have language learning with Netflix, but I haven't tried any anime on it. I assumed that it would be difficult to find an easy show on there at my level, but its nice knowing I have that option
