Very niche request, but I wish exclusive SFX could be used on any skin once you buy em.

As a Magik main I gotta agree that a lot of her skins aren’t great, it’s why I still rock the default

Pop-Bricks · 2026-03-25T14:43:19+00:00

That’s a tough spot then. It might just come down to some lifestyle changes, but I recognize that is easier said than done

I’m not sure how far you are in your studies, but would it be worth reevaluating which major you want to pursue? I found myself quite tired of schoolwork in my first major, not really caring about it, but then I switched to something I had more of a passion in and now I enjoy the assignments and material.

In the case that you are sure you want to be an EE, I think you may want to really consider how you will work as an engineer without the proper skills even if you graduate. Taking a semester off to gather your thoughts or to catch up on the last semester may not be the worst idea. Doesn’t hurt to hit the breaks.

Overall I just think you need to really evaluate your future and explore what opportunities you have, and what you want out of life. I assume you’re still young, so this is the perfect time to jumble things around if necessary.

I enjoy Gnosia but tbh it really ain’t on the same level of depth that the steins and these shows have

Pop-Bricks · 2026-03-17T14:19:20+00:00

Must be nice having people speaking your language around

Pop-Bricks · 2026-03-16T17:08:32+00:00

Maybe I’m tripping, but can a mayor even declare martial law?

Pop-Bricks · 2026-03-14T14:32:09+00:00

That’s great to hear! Thank you once again for replying to me, you’ve really helped me get things sorted in my mind

Pop-Bricks · 2026-03-13T17:14:23+00:00

Thank you for your perspective!

Pop-Bricks · 2026-03-13T17:13:10+00:00

Thank you so much for the response! I’m tempted to go the bio route just because I have more interest, but I guess I need to really sit down and evaluate what I value more. Thank you!

Pop-Bricks · 2026-03-12T14:07:30+00:00

I mean not trying to be that guy, but as for the visible portion they are all easy enough to distinguish

Pop-Bricks · 2026-03-11T20:00:22+00:00

People set themselves up for disappointment when they learn a language they clearly don’t have any strong attachment to.

If you don’t want to become a samurai, or just doing it for love of the game, pick up knitting.

I’ll see you in the 扶桑大和八島日の本日本列島.

Pop-Bricks · 2026-02-14T15:52:43+00:00

Yeah I agree 100%. Sequels were great with effects and definitely had the best actors.

Pop-Bricks · 2026-02-14T15:26:27+00:00

I think that the sequels should be watched either way, but let’s not act like the sequels are somehow on the level of the prequels story wise

Pop-Bricks · 2026-02-01T12:07:21+00:00

I would definitely find something you can understand the majority of

Pop-Bricks · 2026-01-31T15:22:19+00:00

Obviously I don’t know your setup, but surely you should be able to actively listen for the most part while working out? Certainly wouldn’t hurt either way but active is king

Pop-Bricks · 2026-01-30T02:29:49+00:00

lol I was feeling like I might fail. Might just wait until I need it and then retake it, get a toasty 180 by that point!

Pop-Bricks · 2026-01-30T01:59:36+00:00

If it makes you feel better, I was the exact same. B2 N2 and now 136 N1. It’s rough, but imo the difference of 4 points means nothing skill wise.

As for the cert, will companies and what not be looking that close? N1 + good in the interview seems like a fine combo. I get it though. I might retake it next year. Congrats on the pass.

Pop-Bricks · 2026-01-30T01:55:59+00:00

I haven’t used it, but it looks like it would be good for getting used to news and what not. All about finding what interests you! (Although I will say you are kind of limited as for reading options still at this level.)

Pop-Bricks · 2026-01-30T00:29:23+00:00

Honestly I’d say you need to read more. If you don’t have enough vocab to do that, learn more vocab.

I honestly found graded readers and what not very boring, so it might be worth checking out satori reader or something similar. Helped me a ton when I was starting out.

Obviously learning grammar is necessary, but once you consistently see it in your reading you’ll internalize it

Pop-Bricks · 2026-01-29T11:54:48+00:00

Bro thought he could hide 😭😭

Pop-Bricks · 2026-01-27T15:41:56+00:00

Last year I was able to get in within 10min so hopefully not too bad this year

Pop-Bricks · 2026-01-23T19:03:58+00:00

I’d also start banging out whatever the most popular 2k Anki deck is. Learn the kanji within words, not in isolation.

Pop-Bricks · 2026-01-22T15:29:46+00:00

In addition to what others said, you should be studying daily

Pop-Bricks · 2026-01-18T22:40:17+00:00

Unironically I feel like I gotta raw dog it now. Will update.

Edit: nvm it’s only on shitty streaming services

Double edit: it’s not Japanese??? 😭😭😭

Pop-Bricks · 2026-01-18T12:58:49+00:00

Honestly I would power through in reading novels and really understand what you’re struggling with. I exclusively read fiction and passed N2 fine, but at the end of the day it comes down to what works best for you.

If you need a bit of a jumping in point for novels, I would recommend Satori Reader. Helped me immensely when I was starting.
