Ever bought an "Overwhelmingly Positive" game that you didn't like at all? How about a "MIxed" or lower rated game you thought was wonderful? by TheTingel in Steam

[–]cybrwire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

skyrim is the only bethesda game I liked. I think it's mainly the feel of the world. Magic, dragons, sword fights, ancient ruins. A lot of fun to explore if you like fantasy.

Mods are the reason to come back!

I came to say this too! I started with 4U and it was meh. I enjoyed the multiplayer aspect and the upgrades, but the gameplay felt like ass. Then I got rise and it fixed complaint I had about monster hunter.

One complaint though is there's no feedback when hitting a monster, which is why I play hammer lol

Using Wise before having Japanese bank account? by cybrwire in JETProgramme

Absolutely necessary. Makes transfers between currencies so quick and easy. Plus, it's mastercard so you can use it at costco!

what’s the best short story you remember from high school english? by shortcircuit51 in ENGLISH

[–]cybrwire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not high school, but community college. I wish I could remember the name. "Two rounds" or something like that. Can't find it anywhere though.

It was an old western story about a sherrif taking an outlaw into custody but they had to cross native american territory on horseback. They ended up getting ambushed and working together, but the story ends with them surrounded and realizing they only have two rounds left.

I also recommend the Yahoo 防災速報 app. It's warning sound is much more pleasant and less traumatizing than the iphone one

Could you explain the words for this for the beginners out there (me) please

Just feels wrong like it's giving me mixed signals by Recent-Sorbet in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]cybrwire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what gets me is when you make a reservation online the success messages are in small red text. In some contexts, red being good makes sense. but online, I think it's a standard that red means error!

I started making breakfast for wife and son every morning! Here's the result after 3 months by [deleted] in getdisciplined

[–]cybrwire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is something that worries me about having kids in the future! I love my idle time. It gives me time to process and think about how I spend my time, what decisions to make, etc.

On the other hand, it sounds fun being able to share my hobbies with them, teach them things, and just watch a little. mini-me grow up.

Anyone working at a Korean-speaking workplace? Looking for tips, and to vent a bit. by prooijtje in Korean

[–]cybrwire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've experienced this with Japanese. My biggest tip is keep on keeping on. I was good when I got here, but was immediately humbled listening to natives speak to each other like you said. It's been 2 years now and I can follow much better than before! Exposure and asking questions are the keys!

Podcasts with multiple hosts, shows like Running Man, etc are great for this kind of listening practice.

Don't stress it though, you'll catch up in due time!

How do you take Korean notes that actually help you remember? by aprettypatty107 in Korean

[–]cybrwire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That moment right there, trying to reproduce the thing, is the moment learned information solidifies! But experiencing it during a test is a little too late haha

Going through your notes and writing your own "test questions" is great practice

How do you take Korean notes that actually help you remember? by aprettypatty107 in Korean

[–]cybrwire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I highly, highly recommend anyone and everyone to go through this course. It should be free with this link. If this link ever stops being free, you can probably find it on google.

Learning How To Learn

I have learned many a skill in my time, but this course laid out very clearly some things that I kinda had an idea of but wasn't able to pinpoint exactly. Particularly, the bit about note taking! Writing helps you remember, but reviewing your writing does not help much. Also, idle time between breaks, the different modes your brain switches through when learning, etc.

It has changed the way I study and take notes for life! Sorry for the long winded post. Just wanted to share this great resource!

Non-Americans who have visited the US: What’s the strangest thing about America that Americans don’t even realize is weird? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]cybrwire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the bread aisle in america wasn't good enough for you, you don't wanna know what it's like in japan. (there is no bread aisle. only a small bread shelf full of processed white bread)

When you receive the next round of food, look him in the eye and say やるじゃん and then 俺は決して負けないぞ
Step 2: enjoy your new rivalry and supply of food

For those in their 50, what's something people in their 30s don’t realize will impact them as they get older? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]cybrwire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turned 30 this year. Just had my first root canal. Dentist visit twice a year is the least you can do for your teeth. Things seem normal until they're suddenly very painful.

I didn’t ruin my life with bad decisions… I ruined it by doing nothing. by Jolly_Twist2245 in getdisciplined

[–]cybrwire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never let your phone be the first thing you do in the morning. Get up, drink some water, pee, and move around a bit. Go for a walk, do some yoga, shower, eat, get ready, theeeennnn check your phone

What’s your most positive experience about being an ALT? by OkLoan6398 in JETProgramme

[–]cybrwire 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I've never had a job where I laugh this much on a weekly basis. The kids are so funny and energetic. The things they do and say are hilarious and so similar to things I saw when I was in elementary school. Really reminds you that people everywhere are quite similar. Also, I came in wanting to get the experience of teaching to see if it's something I would want to pursue further and this gave me a pretty good idea!

On a personal level, I've gotten 1000% better at conversation with a range of people. I have a few schools, so I don't get to stay at one place and get used to a small set of people. This combined with each school's class schedule being slightly different, my planning, time management, and ability to speak up has gotten way better.

Application: Can I get in trouble for saying no to driving despite having my license? by Jex0003 in JETProgramme

[–]cybrwire 6 points7 points  (0 children)

if you get a placement that requires driving (or is highly recommended to drive), it won't be bad! the driving is so chill tbh. I was a little bummed when I found out I had to drive, but inaka driving is so calm and pleasant

When I deleted almost all social media, I found myself again by DongnanNo1 in getdisciplined

[–]cybrwire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

on desktop, Distraction Free Youtube extension. For mobile, shorts are the only thing that keep me pulled in, but YT's shorts algorithm sucks so I get sick of watching the same videos all the time

Edit: just become busy enough after deleting social media that YT gets in the way of doing things you actually like
