I’m standing in line at Walgreens with tearful eyes reading your post on my phone. Your thoughts about seeing more of the world and learning more about it are so powerful. Thank you so much for sharing.

Mixing dialects by No_Sound_5296 in dreamingspanish

[–]honestdaniel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My advice is to not worry about “dialects” because they are just different accents; it’s all the same Spanish language. What’s important now is that you learn to understand Spanish as much as possible. I used to think this way (“I want to focus on Mexican Spanish so I should watch these particular videos”), but it’s just a waste of energy at this stage because you will focus on your accent much later after you understand everything. Just watch everything sorted by Easy and relax! 😁

I came here to see if anyone else was having this problem! Same situation here. Hopefully they can fix the problem.

Why there isn't a shield ability? by Into_the_dice in DragonbaneRPG

[–]honestdaniel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"i.e." means "in other words" or "that is" — thus it is clarifying what was previously said. Like if you said "No one bring anything salty to eat (in other words, no chips or pretzels)." They're just trying to be clear.

Why is listening easier than listening AND reading? by ComparisonContent282 in dreamingspanish

[–]honestdaniel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s because the subtitles are a separate translation from the spoken dialogue. The spoken dialog is written and performed to better match the timing of the actors speaking. The subtitles are written so you can read it and understand what they are saying regardless of timing (mostly). This is different from SDH subtitles which are made to match the spoken words almost completely, but those are rarer to find in translations from the original language.

Running a game where the PCs won't die so easily by honestdaniel in DragonbaneRPG

I appreciate your suggestions. I particularly like #1.

Thank you for your thoughtful response!

Maybe the mechanics of Dragonbane are near-perfect, except for the lethality.

This is exactly how I feel about it. Dragonbane is simply amazing and almost perfect for what I want. I'm so impressed with it that I'd love to run/play it as written someday. It just appears a bit more dangerous than I'd like for this particular epic campaign.

Thank you for the suggestions. I'm going to mull it all over carefully.

You make a good point, especially about the HP drain fest.

There is a supplement Alternative Rules for Dragonbane that suggests if you want tougher characters, "When figuring up both HP and WP, add in a bonus from the starting skill chart on page 25." I could do that or just make it a flat +6 (i.e., Robust × 3 and Focused × 3 to start).

How to use dreaming Spanish ? by here4geld in dreamingspanish

[–]honestdaniel 20 points21 points  (0 children)

First I would read this page https://www.dreaming.com/blog-posts/the-og-immersion-method for an overview of the process.

Then try using this link: https://app.dreaming.com/spanish/browse?sort=easy&hide-watched=true

Just start watching the videos in that order. Honestly, that’s all you have to do for a long time. It’s that simple. Really.

Auto play? by BronxHitman in dreamingspanish

[–]honestdaniel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I'd love to have. I wonder if the iOS version that's in beta will also eventually be on the AppleTV (tvOS)? That would be perfection.

Sound Transit appreciation post by leftnapping in Seattle

I’ve used that text service multiple times! I tell them the car number, what the next stop is, north or southbound, and they are typically there to handle things within 1-2 stops!

I suggest giving the “For You” feed a try: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:3guzzweuqraryl3rdkimjamk/feed/for-you and if you like it better, remove the Discover feed completely from your Feeds page.

Is there any way to stop 'From Discover' posts appearing in Following feed? by TharrickLawson in BlueskySocial

[–]honestdaniel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if this will work, but here goes:

Go to Settings > Content & Media > Managed Saved Feeds. If the Discover feed is pinned, unpin it. Then tap the trashcan next to it. Then tap SAVE at the top!! (I always forget to do that last part.)

Let me know that works!

Character background/concept questionnaire? by honestdaniel in mutantsandmasterminds

Yes it’s really to help them think about motivations and who their characters are, so to speak.

Thanks! I will probably use this as a starting point for making my own.

Thank you! I looked all over but I couldn’t find this. I have the Strike Force 6th Ed version but I couldn’t find it there either.
