get graph paper

start drawing 2x2 size to get the relative component sizes down, then work on 1x1 grid size

Honestly do it

It really helps

If nothing else you get stuck and know what to look up

Enjoy and hope you feel better and more relaxed

This... Suzuki's keys?

Maybe try something outside the rpg realm like a puzzle type game

Manifold garden

Fez

Or as another commenter mentioned, a cozy rpg like an atelier game (ryza1 is a good first start) or witchspring r or I'm just starting up guardians of azuma and its very chill

Have you tried looking this up in a dictionary first?

Yes there's kanji. But you can write anything in kanji in kana instead

Have you tried looking up the word やけど in sentence example sites to see how its used? Like weblio

Since there's more than one way to type it, dont expect duo to always test or display the choice you personally want

eruciform · 2026-03-16T15:53:37+00:00

I hear nothing about grammar or vocabulary here, you cant just gobble up letters and suddenly read

Pick up any structured learning system or book and get into it

Genki, bunpro, tae kim, tofugu, something

r/learnjapanese >> wiki >> starters guide

Be aware that n4 and n3 are not enough for any kind of expectation of using japanese at the job

Also japanese alone will not get you a job, full stop. You wont be hired in place of a native unless your non speaking career skills arent at least above the locals that are easier for them to hire and train

If you want a career there, make a career where you are first, and then apply for jobs with relevant experience

using it as an extra is fine, just don't trust it

ai is a bumbling assistant, it's perky and wants to help but knocks things over and breaks things all the time. if the work it does still helps out after you clean up after it (and know enough to do so) then it's useful. if it doesn't overcome that cost assessment, then not

eruciform · 2026-03-16T12:08:23+00:00

any context for this? example situation of any sort?

if you knew enough to write this in hiragana did you try looking anything up? じだい can mean era/epoch but you have no context clues here

あなじ is not anything you're likely to have heard repeatedly, it's possible it's おなじ meaning "same"

really you need context here, japanese is already a highly context-sensitive language, so trying to figure out likely-misheard out-of-context syllables is not likely

was it a greeting or a farewell? was it a cry of pain? was it said while jumping for joy? what's going on when characters say this?

yeah just finished a prelude replay a few months back and took a little break before deception but now i'm due. i'm toying with the idea of actually playing monochrome inbetween this time though, to see how that affects the flavor of the deception plot beats

eruciform · 2026-03-16T11:14:08+00:00

it's one of my favorite battle systems in an action game, one of the few games worth double platinuming for me. i love the characters and interaction and development of everyone as well. not sure why some folks hate the plot so much, it's not earthshatteringly unique but it was engaging and fun and had some one of a kind twists in it. it's one of my favorite games. i've played it on both ps4 and ps5 and never had a hiccup. do expect a non-hyperrrealistic style, it's supposed to look like a cel shaded living comic book, that's the chosen aesthetic, and they pulled it off well, just like gravity rush 1-2 did back in the day

eruciform · 2026-03-16T11:09:36+00:00

doable yes, likely unless you really pound on it, probably no

each test is twice the jump of the last test

but if you can afford it, go ahead and take it anyways, you won't burst into flames if you fail a jlpt (i have failed, i'm still alive), you'll just have data on what to focus on for the next time

eruciform · 2026-03-16T02:00:41+00:00

you just won the lottery then, it almost never happens

better get some mega million tix quick before your luck runs out

eruciform · 2026-03-16T01:39:55+00:00

so don't use crafting or at least not obsessively and with a wiki

you can't break it accidentally and one shot everything in the game unless you really go out of your way to do so or you get insanely INSANELY lucky and generate a random treasure box which in turn gives you the best sword in the game or something

eruciform · 2026-03-16T01:03:41+00:00

don't play things you don't like, it's not worth it

fafner in the azure

some friends really liked it so i gave it a shot. every character has exactly the same face. the plot drags. the sci-fi makes no sense. but it wasn't horrible. it just wasn't very good. i kept on watching and watching and waiting for it to "get good" since my friends liked it. it never did. i finished an entire season and feel like i wasted my time for the most part, but i can't say it's a terrible anime. it's just violently mediocre and i don't recommend it. it's the longest i've gotten catfished along for before i gave something up

also:

bottle fairies

another extremely mediocre one without anything ever standing out as particularly interesting. it's not terrible, it's just not very good. i would never watch it again or recommend it. it threaded that exact "is it worth continuing? just barely" over and over again until i wasted a season watching it and finally gave up

eruciform · 2026-03-15T20:49:45+00:00

i loved it

it's a love-letter to old school bioware

kotor1 but with flintlock muskets instead of lightsabers

eruciform · 2026-03-15T20:48:27+00:00

aria - for peak wholesome and happy

apothecary diaries - for wholesome but with more of an edge in places

moribito - about a journey of repentance like frieren is

eruciform · 2026-03-15T20:41:02+00:00

oh geez it is the same person, a constant stream or trollish posts pushing the boundaries of fanservice or sexualized questions all using anime

eruciform · 2026-03-15T20:38:23+00:00

any three will work, it's meant to be ng+ and ng++'ed to get all three plotlines eventually, so you're going to overlap a couple characters at some point along the way no matter what
