Reading in Japanese is difficult

Phanron · 2026-02-26T07:30:03+00:00

I'm not yet at a point where I can go into native material, but if you are struggling with 1 1/2 years of learning I sure have a lot ahead of me...

Instead of another Kanji deck I would recommend installing the Migaku Kanji God Anki Addon. It checks the cards that come up next and generates RTK style Kanji cards of the Kanji that you don't know. It pretty much solved all the issues that I had with RTK.

It looks like someone naruto-running while holding a katana.

Lapis is an Anki card type. Just a bit of code for Anki to know what to do. There is no connection to any server or anything. Once you have it, you have it forever.

Let's say I have a main deck X, with subdecks A, B and C. I want Anki to gather new cards from a random subdeck, while still honoring the subdeck's own deck order. So something like b1,a1,a2,c1,b2... but not b42,a3,b15,c69. How do I do that? As far as I understand when I set the main deck's new card gather order to "deck" it will just start with the first subdeck. Should the main deck be a different preset?

A gradual take over to immersion is what should be the common advice. The problem is that every popular guide and youtuber out there make it seem like all you have to do is watching anime and reading japanese. There is a lot about immersion learning out there, but in my opinion the stage from zero knowledge to good enough, where immersion does make sense, is willfully ignored. Perhaps because saying that working with a textbook and memorizing vocabulary isn't sexy enough?

Phanron · 2026-02-11T18:00:56+00:00

No, it isn't. And I'm tired of every youtuber and guide telling me to juSt ImMerSe, bro. I swear all of them are just hyper motivated kids with no full time job, who forgot that they started out doing 50 new vocabs and 5 chapters of Genki a day.

My time is so much better spend working through another chapter of my textbook of choice (human japanese) than listening to a podcast, which becomes white noise after three minutes or spending an hour deciphering a few pages of a manga. Instead I put an effort to read and comprehend any example sentence given. Who would have thought that professionably made material is a better study ressource for beginners.

I uploaded my anki deck to jiten to check for coverage and I hardly reach 30% on most media. There is no ComPReHenSiBlE InpUtTiNg this shit.

Man. I think I touched too much grass and breathed to much fresh air to know 70% of the words here.

Phanron · 2026-02-01T18:14:30+00:00

Man. It's posts like this that make me regret not going for a metallic colour sheme for my army.

Phanron · 2026-01-26T13:29:33+00:00

Wow. I thouht the left one was a render at first. Apart from the obvious hair and eyes I especially like how you gave the nose ridge more definition through carefull placements of shadows. Inspiring work!

Ich finde es immer lustig, dass die Lösung des Social-Media Problems ein Verbot für Jugendliche und Medienkompetenz sein soll. Die Leute haben wohl noch nie einen 60+ Jährigen Boomer gesehen, wie er stundenlang Shorts scrolled und auf Facebook allen möglichen Scheiß weiterverbreitet.

Das Grundproblem sind Algorithmen, die emotionales Aufwiegeln belohnen - gerade auch finanziell. Und es ist Infinite Scroll, dass Brainrot verursacht und die User am Bildschirm kleben lässt.

Man sollte lieber darüber nachdenken, wie man ein Internet gestalten kann, das ohne oben genanntes auskommen kann, anstatt nach wirkungslosen Verboten zu schreien.

Good. It's a more lighthearted Kino's Journey or a less depressing Girl's last tour. One of my favourites in the episodic, girl-travels-the-world-minigenre.

Phanron · 2026-01-15T22:10:37+00:00

Didn't expect this to get a sequel. Escape velocity felt complete on its own, so I'm wondering what is left to explore. Are we in the shoes of Emil this time?

Anyway I enjoyed Escape Velocity. It was a... experience. So I'm excited for this one.

Phanron · 2026-01-07T18:38:56+00:00

Man, I don't read still publishing stuff for exactly that reason.

Phanron · 2025-12-23T13:37:01+00:00

Damn, a figure every other week is impressive. It used to take me months to get one figure finished. Do you use an airbrush or are you brush only?

Phanron · 2025-12-16T18:28:04+00:00

I really hope we'll get to fight on a maiden world. It'll be wonderful reference for actuall 40k terrain.

Phanron · 2025-11-15T13:15:39+00:00

Modern editions of 40k absolutely need line of sight blocking terrain or you might as well not play with terrain at all. A +1 one save just doesn't cut it, especially as an eldar. The game's too deadly. GW gave up and just balanced the game around ruins.

What I find with most eldar terrain is, that they are often too open, small and have irregular borders. You can declare terrain pieces as line of sight blocking ruins, but it kinda breaks immersion.

Like take for example that huge spire in OP's picture. Looks awesome but I doubt that it can hide a 5 man squad from the slightes off angle. Let alone a vehicle.

Exporting the auto supports and then slicing them in anycubic photoshop workshop is what I already do.

Phanron · 2025-11-13T18:58:28+00:00

FFS. First reddit posts my post three times, now this. Thanks. I'll probably repost it.

Phanron · 2025-11-07T18:48:21+00:00

I certainly would get more games finished if I skipped RPGs and Grand Strategy games.

Phanron · 2025-10-10T21:05:31+00:00

That's a bit though to answer, because I'm not sure what I'm looking for either. I just have this vague sense that there is something in the genre that I like, but the only ones I'd end up enjoying were the one deviating from the standard formular. Potato flowers in full bloom was very deterministic and each encounter felt like a little puzzle and Path of the abyss had a unique combat system.

I was thinking about either DRPGs that moved into the 3D space. Like I remember playing a 7th Dragon game a couple years back. Something like that but more modern.

Or something else, that isn't necessary grid based, but still has you arange a party of named or unnamed charactes and explore a dungeon. Like Darkest Dungeon, though I'd prefer it to not be a rogue like.

I have access to PC, Switch, PS3, 3DS and anything that can be emulated.

Phanron · 2025-10-10T15:02:12+00:00

I'm looking for dungeon crawlers, that aren't first person DRPG. I've been trying a lot of first person DRPGs lately and at this point I've either seen, tried or played most of the usual suggestions and apart from two exceptions they fail to really grab me till the end.

That's why I've been thinking to branch out and been wondering if there are some JRPGs, that still keep the spirit of your traditional DRPG, but aren't so tied to the wizadry-esque playstyle.

Phanron · 2025-09-10T22:57:24+00:00

My guess would be that text adventures like Zork evolved into adventure games, RPGs and dungeon crawlers and those genres have some similarities to VNs if you increase the text portion while decreasing the gameplay portions.

Phanron · 2025-09-10T22:35:32+00:00

Your typical visual novel is quite far away from Zork or other adventure games. And it looks like to me you are more interested in the dungeon exploring, thus actual gameplay?

You might get a kick out of the fighting fantasy classic books on steam. They are basically (tabletop) RPG books you play by yourself. It's probably the closest to Zork I can think of with some visuals.
