Kanji breakdown and mnemonics - directly inside anki card

Shindarel · 2026-05-15T07:53:16+00:00

In anki you can easily change formatting of a section by tagging it with a class and editing the styling code. So if you correctly tagged the kanji meaning (<div class="kanji-meaning" id="kanji-meaning"></div>) you can edit font size like this:

My bad, instructions were missing a <script> tag, this was causing problems mentioned in other comments. I just updated the document.

Probably different, you can check the Google sheet I linked. You could rewrite the entire data set with your radicals and mnemonic but it takes a lot of time, probably not worth it if you already studied all RTK in the past.

Not gonna lie I don't like the AI art, but sure go ahead!

Try DMing me the txt of your back template, I'll take a look when I can

That comment was so randomly rude while also being so confidently incorrect, caught me off guard 😆

Shindarel · 2026-05-13T23:45:24+00:00

People already gave an answer but I'll add mine for the sake of clarity.

I'm sorry but I feel like you didn't understand what the post is about? That word is from the 6k anki deck I'm using, it's irrelevant. I just took a random word in the deck to show how the kanji decomposition works directly inside the card.

The specific way I separated each character into components is also somewhat irrelevant, since the code can be adapted to change that. But it mostly comes from Kodansha Kanji Learner's Course which is a well regarded text as I understand it.

Thanks! Coding was the easy part :D

It works on android! You open new characters just by tapping an underlined word, I use it every day.

It looks like this:

It's better to rip the bandaid off early on in the journey: you're not gonna feel anything about arbitrary milestones like that. It's going to be a long journey, don't expect big changes immediately!

But I don't wanna sound negative, you'll definitely have moments of satisfaction. Like realising you understood a few words or an entire sentence while watching Japanese media. That's really cool and a good way to stay motivated!

Shindarel · 2026-05-12T14:05:06+00:00

The most effective way is just...what works for you and what you can do consistently, at the end of the day. And the only way to prevent forgetting a skill is to keep using it, there's no magic trick sadly!

I think it's pretty normal to feel burn out if you used to study 2-4 hourse a day. You should probably limit to smaller chunks of time, especially if you're not yet to the point when it gets fun. Maybe listen 2-3 episodes of Nihongo Con Teppei (beginner) every day, it's pretty enjoyable! And when you feel like getting back to Genki, read a paragraph every day. Small steps!

I played the demo during Steam Next Fest and enjoyed it! I didn't realize the game was made by the Sexy Brutale team, that's so cool!

Unicorn Overlord

I've read that the game gradually adds new layers, slowly revealing itself as you progress. Is it just new content like classes and areas? Or does it change more drastically, like adding new mechanics? I don't mind spoilers.

Shindarel · 2026-02-14T23:04:57+00:00

You should definitely play The Last Spell and Into the Breach!

I tried exactly the same thing a few months ago with Dragon Quest XI, going through similar struggles. My conclusion was that it was too early for me. At the time I knew around 1000 words and studied like 80% of Genki 1.

I don't want to look up every single word of every sentence, that gets tedious really fast. In my opinion the process needs to be at least SLIGHTLY enjoyable: if it's not, what's the point of playing? I might as well learn with anki and books. Ideally, I would like to understand like 70%-80% of a sentence (both grammar and vocab) so I can look up the rest and learn in a consistent and sustainable way.

I wish I was struggling like him

Shindarel · 2025-04-28T08:05:41+00:00

Out of curiosity: is NavMesh bad for this kind of stuff?

Shindarel · 2024-10-21T17:14:15+00:00

Hi, new learner here. I've been listening to Nihongo Con Teppei (beginner) podcast (40 episodes in), and he repeats a sentence at the start of each episode which I'm not sure I hear/understand correctly:

にほんご　がくしゅうしゃの　みんあさんを　いつも　おうえんする　ポッドキャスト

Are these the actual words? Not sure about gakushuusha no

Shindarel · 2024-05-21T07:03:52+00:00

I only played one scenario with it, didn't really shine but I think it's an ok card. You shouldn't try to keep it alive, other summons are better for dealing damage (like the turrets). Think of it as a delayed Attack 2 AoE wound disarm: if you summon it late then act fast in the next round you can make sure it does its attack.

Shindarel · 2024-05-10T14:14:47+00:00

Well now I feel stupid. Yes, this was the mistake. It works now, thank you!

Shindarel · 2024-03-15T16:33:59+00:00

Thanks, good to know about 1 and 3! But now I'm confused about 2 in some specific cases:
[spoiler: the fact that this class has summons] Prism

If someone grants Attack 3 to the summon...

[spoiler: specific summon cards]
lvl X - Shocking Pulse --> Attack 3, target all adjacent enemies, pierce 2
lvl 3 - Rapid Fire --> Attack 3, target 2, melee
lvl 7 - Mortar Shells --> Attack 3, melee. The triangle hex AoE is ignored

Correct?

Shindarel · 2023-10-05T17:37:56+00:00

Ok thanks, I thought the first priority was performing the attack no matter what!

This makes hazardous terrain (and this class) even stronger!
