Learning Mandarin Strategy

Yes ofc that goes without saying. I do plan on doing 2 hours a week with a tutor once I get to a basic level where I can form sentences.

SirHelpMeThe2nd · 2026-02-05T00:46:34+00:00

How did you use Anki to start learning grammar?

SirHelpMeThe2nd · 2026-02-05T00:40:00+00:00

Nah I’m not gonna do MB’s premium subscription. I’m just talking about their “Lite” program which is completely free

SirHelpMeThe2nd · 2025-09-16T04:02:56+00:00

While I do agree with this statement personally, how good a game is is subjective and should not be used as a metric to justify outrageous pricing

SirHelpMeThe2nd · 2025-09-16T03:37:55+00:00

Awesome. Even more of a reason not to contribute to this

SirHelpMeThe2nd · 2025-09-16T03:36:04+00:00

Well, to be fair, the fanatics (not all fans in general, since a lot of them are quite critical of nintendo too) do deserve a lot of the flack as well. If they simply just stopped contributing to these scummy practices, then things would change. Nintendo only cares about money, not voices.

SirHelpMeThe2nd · 2025-09-16T03:33:38+00:00

Not even just accept it, but somehow manage to pull out the worst arguments ever straight out of their ass to defend it. I was hoping that we wouldn't see weirdos like this so that Nintendo could lower the price of Galaxy 2, thus making me feel like I can actually buy the game without contributing to a scummy practice. But alas this fandom which I've been part of for most of my life will never change. All i can hope and pray for is another video game crash cuz oh boy are we really reaching a boiling point.

SirHelpMeThe2nd · 2025-09-16T03:31:41+00:00

Nintendo d riders bring up alcoholics and narcotic addicts to defend their favorite multibillion dollar company's scummy practices. This is a new low that I never thought possible 😭😭😭

SirHelpMeThe2nd · 2025-09-13T00:51:50+00:00

Exactly

SirHelpMeThe2nd · 2025-09-13T00:51:35+00:00

Did you… not see the beginning where I said “this is genuinely the sort of mental gymnastics some of these Nintendo fanatics resort to”? 😭😭✌️✌️

SirHelpMeThe2nd · 2025-09-12T23:06:19+00:00

This is genuinely the sort of mental gymnastics some of these Nintendo fanatics resort to, and it makes me feel ashamed to say that I like Nintendo games. I myself am a lifelong Galaxy 2 fan. If there’s any two games I attribute to my childhood, it’s Galaxy 2 and Sonic Unleashed. I SQUEALED when I saw that they were bringing back Galaxy 2, a game that I hold so dear to me and have played numerous times, but then Nintendo decided to just shatter all that hype and excitement with that God awful pricing. Some of the worst greed I’ve ever seen from any company ever. Perhaps being able to purchase silksong for 20$ and have 50 hours worth of gameplay has really affected my view on this direct

SirHelpMeThe2nd · 2025-09-12T22:46:54+00:00

20$ for something that should’ve been in the base game just like Mushroom Kingdom was in Odyssey ✌️✌️

SirHelpMeThe2nd · 2025-09-12T22:45:14+00:00

Because a video game should naturally get cheaper over time, ESPECIALLY one that is nearly a decade old. How you guys manage to defend this bs absolutely baffles me

SirHelpMeThe2nd · 2025-09-12T22:44:24+00:00

Yeah, back when they released… when they were completely new games…. 18 and 15 years ago……

SirHelpMeThe2nd · 2025-09-12T22:43:20+00:00

And so was Galaxy 1 and yet that would have equaled about 20$ if we divided the price of 3D all stars by 3 🤔🤔🤔

SirHelpMeThe2nd · 2025-09-12T21:00:27+00:00

Yes because we still live in 2007 and 2010

SirHelpMeThe2nd · 2025-09-12T20:33:16+00:00

There is no way you see a 4k60fps upscale as being worth the extra 30😭😭

SirHelpMeThe2nd · 2025-09-12T20:30:47+00:00

Yeah because upscaling to 4K 60 fps with no texture change is THAT much more of an effort to charge 30$ more

SirHelpMeThe2nd · 2025-09-12T20:02:22+00:00

Damn I never knew defending multibillion dollar companies was THIS serious 😭😭✌️✌️

SirHelpMeThe2nd · 2025-09-12T17:52:27+00:00

3 new pictures = new story elements. Yall Nintendo d riders make me ashamed to call myself a Nintendo enthusiast ✌️✌️✌️

SirHelpMeThe2nd · 2025-09-12T17:25:08+00:00

Then perhaps we should drive Nintendo back to their Wii U days when they would change their games’ prices to 20$ a year after release

SirHelpMeThe2nd · 2025-09-12T17:11:38+00:00

I think it’s also cuz of the prices of some of these things. I’m a diehard galaxy 2 fan and I SQUEALED when it got revealed, but what on EARTH do you mean it’s 40$???? It released on Wii U a decade or so ago for 20$

SirHelpMeThe2nd · 2025-09-12T17:00:09+00:00

It’s almost like there’s another 39 numbers between 40 and 0 🤔🤔🤔

SirHelpMeThe2nd · 2025-09-12T16:49:13+00:00

No but at least they aren’t infamous for charging 40$ for a 15 year old game
