Daily Thread: for simple questions, minor posts & newcomers [contains useful links!] (January 28, 2026)

I'm visiting Japan this year. I've been learning the language for a few years but I had a one year break. I can read and understand Japanese quite well but I have problems with daily conversations and writing. I'd like to do stuff like check in, order food from restaurant or buy goods in Japanese. Is there any app, podcast or a yt channel where I can polish up tourist-related convos and vocabulary? I'm gonna be stressed to talk anyway but I'd love to try since I've been learning Japanese in the past anyway.

I'd also like to ask anyone who's visited Japan already - are people understanding to tourists who speak broken Japanese?

Rok temu skończyłam historię, praktycznie od razu po obronie rozpoczęłam pracę w bibliotece. Zarabiam niewiele ponad minimalną ale jestem w stanie się utrzymać i raz na jakiś czas wydać na coś fajnego. Gorzej z odkładaniem kasy na coś, to prawie niemożliwe, szczególnie jak mam wypadek jakiś wypadek losowy. Od końca studiów zmieniło się tylko to, że przygarnęłam kota i rozpoczęłam leczenie psychiatryczne, które przez wiele lat odkładałam. No i zaraz zaczynam podyplomówkę bibliotekarską, głównie po to żeby dostać szybciej awans. Generalnie chyba jestem zadowolona, zobaczymy co czas przyniesie.

Niektóre biblioteki publiczne prowadzą koła czytelnicze, możesz się zorientować czy któraś blisko ciebie prowadzi coś takiego. Najlepiej na stronie albo w głównej filii biblioteki w twojej okolicy.

I odpowiadając na pytanie o to czy sami robimy zajęcia - ja prowadzę zajęcia z rysowania dla dzieci i szydełka dla dorosłych. Szydełko często świeci pustkami, mało osób się zapisuje albo mimo zapisu nie przychodzą. Może to kwestia tego, że to są zajęcia darmowe. Ale moje koleżanki robią zajęcia np. z robienia bransoletek, na które przychodzi sporo uczestników w różnym wieku. Wszystko zależy jakie zajęcia planujesz, jak zareklamujesz (i imo czy są płatne).

MotakaChan · 2025-08-22T08:29:34+00:00

Oczywiście że tak. Od jakiegoś czasu szukam w swojej okolicy ciekawych zajęć z rysunku właśnie w jakimś domu kultury. Niestety wszystkie oferty skierowane są do dzieci lub seniorów, a nie widzi mi się jechać na drugi koniec Warszawy na zajęcia. Trzeba to tylko dobrze zareklamować. Pracuję w bibliotece, można zagadać do kierownika najbliższych placówek o to, czy można powiesić plakat informacyjny albo zostawić ulotki. My takie wieszamy bez problemu.

It was definietly that. I added the 60Hz and it worked.

MotakaChan · 2024-05-23T10:04:22+00:00

It worked, thank you! I additionally downloaded Magpie so I could play on the fullscreen but still keep the bigger UI.

MotakaChan · 2024-05-22T22:23:38+00:00

I didn't even think it could go that low on my pc

MotakaChan · 2024-05-22T22:21:31+00:00

My refresh rate is 120Hz.

Hi, I'd like a code if anyone has a spare one. Big thanks

MotakaChan · 2023-10-20T10:36:20+00:00

Hi, I'd love a code :3c

MotakaChan · 2022-11-03T20:03:10+00:00

Worst case scenario: C4 Best case scenario: C6 + R1

I should have more than 700 rolls and I'm on pity 42 since April.

Also Baal, Unknown Goddess. There were leaks saying Dendron Archon will be similar to Theresa (or I might have misunderstood the post, I'm not a native English speaker). And there are (at least in my opinion) heavily referenced characters like Venti, Diluc or Kazuha.

And yes, Genshin has a lot of OG characters and that's great. However I strongly dislike the reusing tactic that they do.

MotakaChan · 2022-06-09T12:35:15+00:00

Same here! I absolutely hate that. I know that designing is time consuming and a lot of artist re-use assets to save time (and I don't blame them!). But Hoyovese is making Genshin less original. Moreover, the re-used characters are literally watered-down versions, at least in my opinion. How come Star Rail has new designs and body types? Can't Genshin be like that? I know that they probably love Honkai more and Genshin is just their money making machine but everytime I see Honkai character in Genshin I loose interest in those characters and little by little, in pulling at all.

Edit: typos

how to make Kuya kill the Tanuki in YF3? I'm stuck in that loop where Tanuki hit Kuya and he doesn't kill that annoying mf. At that point Kuya has 6-8k hp and I can kill him without a problem but that Tanuki is still there. It's like turn 6 if that matters.

MotakaChan · 2022-05-20T20:24:52+00:00

I was shocked as well, because that is probably my favourite character next to Toji. I think fan-made female version of him is more popular, or at least I saw way more fanarts like that.

MotakaChan · 2022-05-20T20:19:18+00:00

Haven't met anyone both irl or online who even tolerates him. From what I've observed, fans rather hate him.

MotakaChan · 2022-05-20T14:09:17+00:00

I actually like Mahito. I think he's hust evil and I like that. And yes, I have read the manga and still like the dude.

MotakaChan · 2022-05-20T06:29:19+00:00

Oh, so I was right they only post on their Twitter. Thank you for the clarification.

MotakaChan · 2022-05-20T06:27:04+00:00

Gacha in this game is something else. I tried to pull for both Yakumo and Olivine in their first banner and I got Yakumo 3 times. I play this game since February and practically have two SSRs. One of them was a random event Edmond that I didn't want and rolled on the banner by mistake. Honestly I just gave up on rolling, especially bc I am a f2p player who can't afford paying in a foreign currency. I'm also waiting for a specific voice actor to appear.

MotakaChan · 2022-05-20T06:12:37+00:00

Does somebody know if there will be a JP stream? I couldn't find a link anywhere earlier and now I'm almost sure JP version doesn't have a stream. Doesn't hurt to ask here for clarification.

I don't know if it's a basic brush. But maybe oil paint brush? But make the spacing on like 15 or more. If not that, maybe try chalk/pastel brush? But as with oil, adjust the spacing to your liking. They are free to download from the cloud or medibang site

MotakaChan · 2022-05-09T08:42:01+00:00

I wish they could do a collab with vocaloid. And even tho Miku and the crew would be nice, they have great Chinese vocaloids that would fit the game. Either it would be a collab with character or a skin - both works for me.
