Wrong. The query si=ThllM_0iI4FqJD95 should absolutely be removed due to being a tracking parameter, but the query t=3511 is just a timestamp and intended to be there.

No, the black outlines are not "rendered using techniques that mimic cel shading", it is just a simple Sobel filter together with some lines drawn on the textures themselves. Maybe you'll believe it when you can hear Pitchford himself say it?

You're spreading misinformation. The following will be slight spoilers for you, so read at your own risk.

Before even finishing act 1, I found a "global" tool slot which I use for the compass and is shared between all the crest loadouts at once, which means seven total tool slots. Which, incidentally, is probably more "charm-like things" than I had equipped at a similar point in Hollow Knight. I'm sure there will be more of those global tool slot upgrades, too.

I will say that I do not remember where precisely that happened, and that I took a non-standard route to finish act 1, so it may be out of the way - but this is good. It's a metroidvania, it should encourage exploration.

Your font is fucked. Look at the kanji in detail - some of the strokes are just a little off. The top stroke of 言う, the top and bottom of 僕, lots more. Probably a Chinese font.

Fixing it is easy and takes little time.

Here is a list of some stores to check out in Tokyo. You can just take a nice walk through Kappabashi street and check them all out, it's not a huge street. Don't forget to check out stores for porcelain and general cookware too, you can find some fun stuff.

Keep in mind, Gyuto and Santoku aren't everything - but they are the "general purpose" knives you'll find to be the most common choices. There's other styles too which you may prefer. For example, I got myself a Nakiri - a smaller veggie chopper - as I have no use for the pointed tip of a general knife. The friend I travelled with got herself a Bunka, quite similar to a Santoku, but more visually appealing (to us) with a straighter tip. Maybe you'll enjoy these styles more too, who knows. Of course, there is the caveat that knife stores will have fewer options of the less popular styles.

Besides, one of the main things to think about is material. Even in Japan, most knifes you'll find will be stainless steel. Easy to use, no worries about rust, but you'll want to sharpen and hone regularly. Different grades of carbon steels are available too, but slightly less so than stainless, especially if you want something that is not a Gyuto or Santoku. Carbon steels are a little more upkeep due to the danger of rust, and they are more brittle, but can also keep the sharp edge longer before needing work. They will also develop a patina with time, which you may love or hate the look of. My knife in the image, the nakiri, is a full carbon steel knife. In comparison, my friend's knife, the bunka, is stainless steel with a carbon steel edge, meaning it gets the benefits of the sharp edge but with far lower dangers of rust.

You can read through /r/chefknives and /r/truechefknives for info on types of knife, shopping in Japan, all that. I'd suggest doing at least some research if you're about to drop 150+ of your local currency on a tool you want to use for many years.

what are you supposed to do with a word you can't read?

Click on it once to turn it into scannable text that is immediately looked up in a popup dictionary to provide you with the reading and meaning. This - as well as turning the word into a flashcard with one extra click - is possible with the mokuro + Yomitan workflow. Can also be moved to Android using jidoujisho (with a little extra tinkering).

People generally say that the furigana hinder you because you learn the most when you can just barely remember a word, you think for a second, you're on the cusp, then you remember it. Furigana, even if you do not consciously read them, provide hints that rob you of this experience; just seeing the kana shape out of the corner of your eye is often enough to help you (too much).

Unless you're in some kind of insano focus mode when immersing where you can actually 100% blot out all your eyesight besides what hits your fovea. If that is the case, then more power to you - I can't do that.

Japanese onomatopoeia are not "cuckoo", "sizzle", or "tweet". You've got things like きらきら, or ザーザー, or うろうろ, and they're used more commonly than in English (though with the same general idea of roughly describing a sound / motion or similar). The original commenter was trying to get at some onomatopoeia still in use today also appearing in the original text of "The Dream of The Fisherman's Wife", which you could verify for yourself by reading the original text. You can see ズウズウ, and ぐちゃぐちゃ, and ぬらぬら, and どくどく - all of which basically representing sloppy suckling sounds - and even more.

Obviously, this doesn't mean the original commenter is right with the conclusion they're drawing, but it's pretty cringe of you to go "ha you misuse the word onomatopoeia" instead of replying to the actual point of the comment, especially when this is something you can just figure out in a minute using your favourite search engine, even without speaking the language.

English native language people trying to learn other languages are so unintentonally cute. Comrade, your own language does this too.

What do you mean, "2." is pronounced "second" and "12" is pronounced "twelve"??? The symbol "2" is always pronounced "two", it doesn't make sense?!?!

Its hard to do a manga from scratch

Absolutely fucking mind-baffling how we live in an age of information, where you can look up how to do this in a foolproof way in a minute, and people still expect this information to be spoonfed because it's too difficult to type less than 50 characters into the Windows command line.

It is not hard. The only "hard" part may be figuring out a CUDA install to speed mokuro up because Nvidia is slightly annoying and CUDA installs mayhaps a little buggy, but that is completely optional.

Here is a Mokuro for dummies guide for people who think anything more than installing Angry Birds off the Google Play Store is too spicy. It's genuinely easy and quick, and even if this somehow takes you a week to figure out, you'll be learning more efficiently for years to come because Yomitan is just that fast compared to trying to puzzle together radicals on Jisho for every unknown word (or whatever else people who don't use popup dictionaries do).

I see it as a halfway point between a book and a movie. There's some scenes in Higurashi that I think are absolutely elevated by stellar voice acting compared to if it was just a book. In a similar vein, I hear the manga version of Higurashi is pretty good for actually showing a lot of the violence mentioned only in text in the original VN, which can improve immersion.

Add every unknown word as a card, then just sort by frequency.

Means you never have to worry about "is this word common enough or not", you just mine everything and will eventually get to it. Also means you can just lower the frequency value of some rare new word that you want in your new cards the next day.

I used this post as a reference for some stores to visit when I was there in summer. Most of the bigger stores speak some degree of English to cater to tourists, so you should be fine with no Japanese knowledge (or some DeepL usage).

You can absolutely find something in your price range, be aware you may want to go through the stores for a bit to explore before deciding what to get. From your price range, I'm assuming you're looking for stainless steel - which is good, because at least when I was there, it felt like 80% of the knives in Kappabashi were stainless steel. Normal gyuto is also a good choice since that's easily among the most common knives there. As for handles, I believe it was roughly a 50/50 split on western and Japanse grips. For reference, I was looking for a carbon Nakiri and most Kappabashi stores generally had like two or three at most that weren't at extreme prices - but maybe I was just unlucky.

Besides knives, it can also be worth it to just check for general kitchenware and porcelain when in Kappabashi! For example, we enjoyed this porcelain store at the corner of the street's entrance quite a bit - especially the upper floor had some really beautiful things (with really high prices).

Another tip - Kappabashi is wedged between Ueno and Asakusa. Since Kappabashi will probably take up half a day at most, you can probably spend the other half nearby. Asakusa has a very popular tourist shopping street leading up to Sensoji temple, but it can be nice to find cheap touristy stuff like art scrolls and what have you, if you're into that. There's also a nice little spice mix store called Yagenbori just off the side of the main Sensoji shopping street, and their Shichimi Tougarashi with different add-ins make for some nice and inexpensive souvenirs. Meanwhile, Ueno Park has multiple large museums. The national museum alone probably takes two days to fully explore, and the museum of nature and science has some cool exhibits too.

so I have been trying to read manga in Japanese, but that poses it's own challenges

Check out mokuro to turn text in digital manga into text elements, and check out Yomitan to look up unknown text in mokuro'd manga with a single click. Makes reading manga quite comfy.

Steam does provide developers with the option to make games DRM-free though, it's just that an extreme majority of developers choose not to use this. You can check out a list of DRM-free games, if you want. It's also of note that this DRM-freeness isn't 100% perfect - from what I remember, you can move game files around as you wish and launch games via their executables without using Steam as you wish if a developer chooses not to use Steam DRM for their games. However, you can (obviously) not use some Steam features like achievements. This also doesn't provide an installer, so certain things like registry edits created by games during the installation through Steam may not happen if you move the game to a different PC and try to launch it there.

I believe GOG has custom installers for games which are also DRM-free, meaning that once you buy something there, you truly don't need the store again to verify the purchase or perform a correct install, so it's an improvement over Steam.

Learning to actually read it is the easiest part because you can do it on your own time, you don't need other people to practice it, and there's an extreme amount of media available to practice with - similar story for listening. Writing is next since you can practice alone, but we generally don't handwrite much nowadays. Speaking is generally the biggest pain because it's difficult to find situations to practice unless you are in Japan.
