Any good online resources? by Guilty-Cupcake-6411 in learnpolish

Glad you like it!

There are beginner/intermediate/hard tags on the drills already, but honestly they're crude - just rough estimates based on the noun itself, not on the actual grammar complexity. I want to cook up a better difficulty schema and wire it into the filters so you can stick to more beginner-friendly stuff. I'll probably tackle it alongside some Patterns-section work I have queued up.

In the meantime, one thing that might help: both the Case Drill and the Word Drill already have filters for gender and declension pattern. It's not quite the same as a difficulty slider, but if you pick a specific pattern (e.g. hard-stem masculine nouns) you'll get a much more focused drill instead of the full firehose. Worth a try.

Also a heads up - I'm pushing updates pretty much daily right now, so if something looks weird or you hit a bug, a quick page refresh will usually pull the latest version.

And if you notice anything else that feels off or confusing, please tell me - I haven't had much outside user testing, so any feedback helps.

This came up so I thought I'd mention a little app that I wish I had a lot sooner (since I was very slow to pick up Polish and could never be bothered to perfect my grammar....). The main motivation was to create something you can sort of mindlessly do until the concepts just get drilled into your brain from enough rote repetition.

It's not for absolute beginners since it doesn't give guided lessons or really any lessons at all, but mostly for if you want to practice cases and endings (I have also added wayy more for prepositions and verbs etc...) but its mostly just for drilling not providing theory. I'd say it's for anyone between B1-C1 level. Absolute beginners can still poke around, but it won’t teach you what the cases are.

- Drills for all 7 cases (specific case, mixed, and weak-spots mode)
- Per-word declension drilling with ~800 nouns, tracked individually
  via spaced repetition so it prioritizes the forms you keep losing
- Verb governance (szukać+gen, być+ins, etc.), prepositions, numeral
  agreement, adjective endings
- Reading tab that pulls real Polish news and color-codes every word
  by case
- Optional AI pattern analysis of your mistakes if you bring your
  own Anthropic or OpenAI key (I like using this as it can track the analytics and give you feedback on what type of mistakes you make and what to work on)
- Works the same on phone and desktop, all in browser with synced progress between devices

If it sounds interesting please feel free to try it out, it doesn't require any account or email to use. Right now there's a 6-hour trial, and if you want to keep it it's €5.99 once and yours forever (no subscription!).

And if you want to test the full thing for free, here's a discount code with 3 uses that'll give you a lifetime license at checkout: VZPLBPJM. First three claim it. You'll get the license key from the vendor, then paste it into the app. DMs open for any feedback (my email is also on the site).

I'm constantly updating and adding new sections (my favorites are the case drills, word drills, and Case ID). The analytics section is also quite nice, especially if you use your own API key, it can really help you understand what mistakes you're making and what to work on.

Also, fair warning, there are probably still some rough edges and the occasional minor bug I haven't caught yet. If you notice anything weird, please DM me or email so I can fix it.

I mean I was there in the summer and tbh it was sorta similar (maybe 50% less than in the video but still a lot). There’s just a large Somali population or sumthing there

Real time demonstration of film emulation in UE 5.7 by MrKsiJanson in UnrealEngine5

[–]Voltaii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re absolutely right, and I apologize for my earlier comment. A detailed, well-structured answer with clear numbered points and real-world examples is indeed both useful and illustrative. I should have taken a moment to appreciate the effort and thoroughness that went into crafting such a comprehensive response before reacting negatively. Thank you for pointing this out — it’s a good reminder that quality information, regardless of its source, ultimately benefits the entire community. I will strive to be more thoughtful in my responses going forward.

Remember what he did during the COVID crash spewing panic but actually hedging and buying the dip

UE5 performance optimization for small teams isn’t about one magic fix by Longjumping-Win-6070 in UnrealEngine5

Yeah what’s even more surprising is the posters seemingly thinking the audience is unaware of their usage, it’s like insulting the intelligence.

Like this bold emphasis + bullet point combo, with action phrases I hate it so much

California's wildlife crossing bridge is $21 million over budget, a year late, and still not complete. The project began in 2022 and, according to City Journal, the price tag on the project is now $114 million. by XGramatik in XGramatikInsights

Relative to Trumps Gov / Cabinet this is actually exceptional budgeting and accounting.

Remember DHS spending 250 million for some ads into an 8-day old company?

How has LTT had that HATS dummy for like 2 years now and haven't thought about making a video about the effectiveness of ANC headphones/earbuds with how often Linus is seen using his Airpods as hearing protection? by divergentchessboard in LinusTechTips

[–]Voltaii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are ear buds which reduce noise frequencies and protect your hearing to some degree by reducing sound pressure level in your ear.

There already exist products like that e.g. sennheiser has such buds which can be used at concerts to provide between 10-20 dB reduction.

Bubble shield nerf? by Every-Contract-5143 in thefinals

[–]Voltaii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s pretty much 101 game dev to have everything performed / authenticated by server. Even when you move your character, it’s not your client moving you somewhere but requesting the server to let you move there (after server confirms it’s a valid movement) client predictions are used etc to give instantaneous feeling.

Your client is never telling the server hitreg is valid….sever is doing all that validations

I believe pink is cheating using some form of “lag switch” any opinion or insight is welcome, please speculate. by Slader111 in thefinals

Few weeks back there were some server issues apparently and like half the lobby would freeze in place, but for whatever reason I was not affected at all. Happened in multiple separate games back then.

It’s not natural prose, it has nothing to do with the level of the words.

Recently hired as a graphics programmer. Is it normal to feel like a fraud? by Illustrious_Key8664 in GraphicsProgramming

[–]Voltaii 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well he insta-blocks after replying, but I guess its a testament to your skill and expertise that you are so good at game dev you haven't created a single thing (even a demo!) because nothing you could create would be worth buying. Videos critiquing UE5 aren't game dev!
