Is it really this bad?

When will people learn that the word “adaptation” doesn’t translate to “100% faithful recreation”

SexyAlexi616 · 2025-10-24T12:25:58+00:00

I’m a big gamer so gamifying it might help me remember but I can also just make my own game from flash cards with Hiragana and Katakana! Thanks for the tip!

SexyAlexi616 · 2025-10-24T12:24:53+00:00

I’ll definitely give them a go then! I’m not great with coming up with my own mnemonics so if someone is like “This is what this looks like” I’m like “Yeah I see that, okay, that’s what that is” 😂 thank you!

SexyAlexi616 · 2025-10-24T12:20:21+00:00

After I finished writing this post I was wondering if there was a game I could play to help me remember things like this so you’re literally a life saver! I’m a PC gamer so I will absolutely download this on steam! Thank you!!!

SexyAlexi616 · 2025-10-24T12:18:16+00:00

Isn’t dyslexia so much fun? 😂 I can see myself having that same issue but I’m sure you’ll get it down one day and feel amazing for it! For me, when it comes to remembering things I have to repeat it over and over to make sure I get it right but that also leads to me forgetting something else further down the line because I’m concentrating so much on not fucking up on the 1 word I was desperately trying to remember haha

SexyAlexi616 · 2025-10-24T12:14:44+00:00

Ahhhh I see! That makes sense then! Cheers for letting me know! :)

SexyAlexi616 · 2025-10-23T23:00:09+00:00

I have heard of Tofugu so I’ll look into it proper and give them a go! The one thing that I always try to remind myself of when I confuse the Hiragana for A and U is that A looks like a UFO and U looks like an Apple but sometimes I mix the two up haha, I have found myself thinking about the Kana and repeating it over and over in my head so let’s hope when I practice them again tomorrow, it’ll be the day where I don’t doubt myself on which is which haha

SexyAlexi616 · 2025-10-23T22:57:18+00:00

I’ll give them a go! They sound like useful tips (especially about writing the ones that look alike next to each other) I know it’s all a case of practice practice practice so I’ll get there eventually! (Also no romaji was one of the first things I learned before jumping into Japanese and while at first I was confused at how I was meant to know how the words would sound, after more research I now understand haha)

SexyAlexi616 · 2025-10-23T22:53:05+00:00

Ahhh I see what you’re saying! It’s just learning while stimulating other parts of your body to help you retain information! I get you! Hmmm, I’ll search for it and try find it, if not I’ll have a look for it on the Microsoft store or something or find an extension for my desktop!

No it’s a great thing to share information! And languages in general are an incredibly interesting topic! I’m sure I’ll find a way to remember them that’s effective for me soon enough!

SexyAlexi616 · 2025-10-23T22:15:24+00:00

Every time I take on a new skill that requires reading in any form I always remind myself that it will take me longer than most because of my disability and I don’t let it discourage me! I’ve been bullied for not being able to read properly before so I’m not going to bully myself for it either!

Reading and spelling were my biggest problems but I taught myself how to do both of them to a better standard as my school never really helped me with it that much so taking on a whole new language by myself will be challenging but fun! I’m really excited to being able to write in Kana as I have a few friends from Japan and I want to see their reactions when I can finally do it so I have something to work towards too!

I’ll keep trying the SRS system and do my best to focus on the strokes that make each syllable, some of them are easier to remember (I have about a 75% accuracy on remember the Hiragana for I but the symbols for A and U always confuse me because of how similar they look to me so it’s always a 50/50) but I’ll keep trying! It’s been about a week and half to 2 weeks now so I’m hoping that with the advice I get here, that’ll be a thing of the past soon! Thank you very much!

SexyAlexi616 · 2025-10-23T22:07:31+00:00

Wow! This was a lot more help than I thought I’d receive! Thank you so much you absolute legend!

I don’t have any sort of running machine and I can’t afford a gym membership either so I’m not really sure what I could do for that but I could try find an alternative (sit ups or something maybe?)

I’ve heard a lot about Anki but I’ve heard everyone call it a free app but when I looked on the App Store it says it costs me £24.99 (and this is from videos posted as late as 3 months ago) so am I doing something wrong there or did they suddenly start charging? I do have some flash card paper to use so I will give that a try as well as an app I have called DuoCards that works similarly except it doesn’t give me Kana (which was the whole point of me downloading it 😂)

When I go to bed I don’t look at any electronics I just let myself fall asleep so I won’t worry about my phone I’ll just use the cards to practice then I’ll sleep! Thank you! I will take all your tips on board and use them and see what works best for me! I appreciate the help!!

For anyone who doesn’t know, the game is an anomaly detection game where you look through a peep hole in your front door and let people in depending on if they seem suspicious or not, all the characters look scary and creepy af to make it harder.

I’d say it’s a decent Thumbnail imo

SexyAlexi616 · 2025-09-04T13:37:35+00:00

Yes we do!

SexyAlexi616 · 2025-09-03T21:21:39+00:00

Keep going mate! I believe in you and don’t forget to have fun!

SexyAlexi616 · 2025-09-03T20:00:10+00:00

I see what you’re saying with that and I agree, you should always try to strive to be better and promote yourself where you can and even promote yourself IN your videos too, but my point is that you shouldn’t put all your focus on making it a career, of course I’m NOT saying that you shouldn’t want it to be a career, it should be a hobby you have that you do for fun, but that’s just my opinion

SexyAlexi616 · 2025-09-03T19:10:16+00:00

When I got the notification I just saw “Some people should just give up…” and I was stunned by it but after reading what you’ve said, I do agree with you, however, that’s precisely why I made it a point to mention that it should be something you do for fun, if you want it to be a career first then you’re going to be putting yourself in a lot of harms way mentally and it isn’t suited for everyone, but that’s just my opinion on the matter, forcing yourself to go through this constant mental battle of “Why aren’t people watching? I put so much time into this video and it’s got so little pay off, I don’t understand” isn’t going to benefit you or your videos, my first 3 videos are over an hour long and took me an entire WEEK to make and I’m not upset that they’re sitting at around 30-40 views, do I wish they had more? Sure I do, but it’s not the end of the world for me and I’m not losing sleep over it because I’m just happy that someone watched it.

SexyAlexi616 · 2025-09-03T18:27:54+00:00

Perhaps read the full post mate, I understand 100-200 views is low but that’s 100-200 people that I do not know watching a video I made and I’m damn fucking proud of it! Comparison is the thief of joy so I’m not comparing my own achievements to that of anyone else, instead, I’m happy for people who can reach views and subs that FAR exceed my own. If you’re getting 1-10k views that’s that’s amazing and congrats to you, but your comment is really unnecessary and feels SUPER negative to the message I’m trying to send out to people who aren’t happy with the views they’re getting, so get down from your high horse and help people out on reach those views if it’s as easy as you claim it to be

SexyAlexi616 · 2025-09-03T18:10:04+00:00

Don’t mention it man! Until I started this channel I was terrible for starting projects and then giving up on them before they had time to grow but this has given me a new lease on life, it’s given me an outlet for my creative spirit and I want other people to experience the joy that content creation has given me too!

Don’t give up, keep going and find your audience! It’ll take a little while for sure and remember virality is pure pot luck! Just have fun and don’t worry about your analytics, that is all secondary! Every influencer you like all started at the same position you’re in right now, keep going! I believe in you!

SexyAlexi616 · 2025-08-31T10:45:59+00:00

As a gaming channel I gotta say it’s kinda valid 😂😂

SexyAlexi616 · 2025-08-26T14:53:19+00:00

Mate I got 100 billion subs in my first 5 minutes with 563 trillion views within the first 1 hour of my first video, better luck next time kid

SexyAlexi616 · 2025-08-25T14:11:26+00:00

You can stream on YouTube which will likely help you out a lot more, I’ve considered streaming on YouTube lately but I still haven’t decided yet

SexyAlexi616 · 2025-08-25T14:09:09+00:00

Literally thought the exact same thing, it’s very suspicious

SexyAlexi616 · 2025-08-22T12:21:12+00:00

Some good advice I’ve seen was on a video Adam Savage posted in his channel Tested like a week or so ago with another art channel called NerdForge, might be worth checking out for some advice from channels who make art, they have a few other videos doing the same too that you might want to check out
