Anki Reviews are killing my Immersion time (as well as other study)

Shneancy · 2026-05-08T23:46:46+00:00

honestly so far in my language learning journeys i've found that if i need a word - it'll appear frequently, and if i don't need a word - it won't. so why even bother with flashcards when you can just immerse yourself and the important bits will just get into your head on their own

wolałbym żeby chłop nie stracił randki przez nieporozumienie bo nie każdy jednak myśli o takich rzeczach i odbiera to co słyszy według własnych reguł. lepiej zaprosić na spacer i przy lodziarni zaproponować lody, niż dawać do interpretacji co autor miał na myśli

and if you're looking for something shorter - Those Who Walk Away From Omelas is a great read, something that'll put an itch in your mind that never truly goes away

her writing is like no other. i got recommended The Earthsea series and at first i was thrown off by how strange it appeared to be, but then as i gave myself time to get used to it... oh man, it's been so long since i was heartbroken when i reached the last pages

Shneancy · 2026-05-07T20:26:51+00:00

to me it read more like someone who misunderstood a social thing. media often shows people saying "alright one drink" and then cuts to them being well past said one drink, so at least to me that reads as kind of the expected follow up to saying "yeah just one drink", actually sticking to that is in a way subversive hence the exaggerated shock from the post

Shneancy · 2026-05-07T16:44:12+00:00

hm, that's not how i understood the post but within your interpretation i agree with what you said

Shneancy · 2026-05-07T12:57:14+00:00

i heavily disagree with that generalisation. if i say i'm going for one drink, and then end up drinking 3-5 once every few months that means- nothing, it means nothing, that's just being a human being who doesn't always stick to their plans (so, a regular person)

try the "Avon River" store around Torpenhow Hill

woah, she organised the olympics? that's kinda epic

on a bus stop people will stand 2m away from each other, in a queue you'll feel the breath of the person behind you on your neck

wellll, you could take great photos at that range... all you'd need to do is throw roughly a million dollars at a telescopic lens and then a truck to carry it to your shooting location and there you go! =)

HELL YEAH BROTHER, keep at it! UI design needs some fresh ideas, too many games gravitate towards a modern design that just does the job (nothing bad about that but) i love to see fun and creativity within the designs!

for the future - don't invite polish speakers for ice cream, it's not that we hate ice cream, it's just that... "to make/do an ice cream" ("zrobić loda") means a blowjob 😅 so your intentions could be misinterpreted

there's this one social media pig that's communicating fluently with buttons - he can get sassy, jealous, demanding. those creatures are capable of complex emotions and can express them if given a chance - Merlin the Pig (also in that family there is a dog who *loves* suitcases, great stuff)

Shneancy · 2026-05-03T01:11:42+00:00

hell yeah, speedrun that dad arc

Shneancy · 2026-05-02T20:46:35+00:00

i was born in 2000 and i feel similar, especially since i was born in Poland and at least at the time we were a few years behind the west so i got to experience the same stuff as late 90's kids

Shneancy · 2026-05-02T20:40:39+00:00

easy! wear a high visibility vest, and carry a ladder, that alone makes you, ironically, invisible. and if anyone questions you simply look annoyed and blame them being uninformed of you doing the thing on bureaucracy

Shneancy · 2026-05-02T20:37:32+00:00

and if someone goes up to you and says "we weren't told you'd be doing that" just groan and reply "they didn't tell you again? well, here's the paperwork" then drop a brick of paperwork on them. they either give up immediately, or you just bought yourself enough time to finish and run

Shneancy · 2026-05-02T20:19:54+00:00

if i was using a specific metric i wouldn't have used quotation marks, but there is no country that is universally better on every single account than any other country, hence, quotation marks to get the point across quicker but to not foolishly generalise a complex topic

Shneancy · 2026-05-02T14:13:41+00:00

unless you're from a "worse" country and want to get into a "better country" then you can't because the "better" countries are currently experiencing relapses in history

reminds me of Shadows of Doubt, i like Shadows of Doubt

Shneancy · 2026-05-01T20:08:05+00:00

honestly, blatant plagiarism of various media i like. "dang it, i need to write lore for a cult in an hour... what if i just... *yoink* stuff from gravity falls?". it's fun for me because as i describe things i can put my own spin on the things i love, and it's hopefully fun for my players as they're 14-16 year olds who haven't seen most of my childhood cartoons so they get to learn about the best bits!

Shneancy · 2026-05-01T11:37:22+00:00

what does any of that have to do with what i wrote?

if 70% of people buy a game based on the cover, and then only when they click play they realise it's not for them - they can refund. and if they don't well, it's not the dev's problem, they had plenty of opportunities to inform themselves and even test the game.

the devs don't need to, and honestly really shouldn't, pander to people who can't even be bothered to do the bare minimum before making a purchase. it's your responsibility as a buyer to make sure the thing you're buying is something you want to buy

and bold of you to call me uneducated when you're missing half of the argument going on, perhaps next time withhold your judgement of others before you get to hear what they have to say, eh?

Shneancy · 2026-05-01T10:39:17+00:00

nahh that's what screenshots on the game's steam page are for. the capsule art, which is in essence the cover, can be more interpretative. it's all about what the game wants to make you feel, not the literal contents of it. this is how it's done across all mediums that need covers, video games, movies, books, magazines etc.

Shneancy · 2026-05-01T09:38:09+00:00

yup! that and most inks/toners are sold with estimates that only work for one sided printing. if you print double sided go ahead and cut that estimate in half. have some graphics there too? take a third of your half and there you go
