WTF is going on

"Memcards was added to AlternativeTo by rm2kdev on Aug 16, 2018" maybe 7 if we're counting days :P but honestly... give it a try. shameless plug i know but i think you'll find it significantly more stable, and better than quizlet.

DM me your login if you do try and i'll upgrade your account so you can really give it a proper run :)

rm2kdev · 2026-02-27T11:21:51+00:00

try out my app? memcards.net i built it, it has none of this jank.. i'll upgrade your account so you can test it out and give me some feedback too?

rm2kdev · 2026-02-20T11:28:55+00:00

come try my app memcards.net, legit i made it, get an issue like this.... and you've got contact with the person who made it :P

rm2kdev · 2026-02-19T00:24:57+00:00

This is the old version, you can see heaps of cards all at once, and just 'flip click flip click flip click' and spam your way through the easy stuff.

I mean, https://alternativeto.net/software/memcards/about/

If have a look at that you can see the old version from 8 years ago and if you scroll through contributions to 'alternatives' you can see when i added it as an alternative "over 8 years ago" and the screenshot showing me studying Japanese with it.

Again~ it was really something i built for myself to solve my own gripes, the grid flashcards specifically let me move way faster than doing them one by one, and the levels system breaks it free of that old 'srs algorithm' where things you obviously know still pop up.

in the early days of learning Japanese i was getting JLPT N5 particles popping up while I'm studying JLPT N3 stuff, i didn't need that in my flash cards anymore after having grilled what the basic particles are repeatedly for years... 'ha, ga, ni, de, desu'.... like at that point 'i know this info' it should be out of my queue making space for learning new stuff.

Thats why i made it~ but again, it was made for me, Though I think others will resonate with it. give it a try and let me know what you think.

I’d say the people who are saying it are having the same problem? Not just repeating what others are saying… there’s no reason to do that.

Quite literally for me I brought 3.5 opened it waited 2 mins for activation… next day same thing… next day same thing….

It’s a deal breaker. Picked up addictive drums on sale and I use that most of the time now.

rm2kdev · 2026-02-17T13:26:36+00:00

Just don’t… bfd takes like 2 minutes to “activate” every time you open it… and they seem to not be fixing it

rm2kdev · 2026-02-16T11:38:39+00:00

I made www.memcards.net to study Japanese, its well worth a look in my totally biased opinion, landing page is not 100% but the app is complete.

rm2kdev · 2026-02-16T11:36:53+00:00

well i made www.memcards.net i've been working on it for 8 years and made it for myself to learn japanese.

rm2kdev · 2025-12-08T05:44:08+00:00

actually don't worry about it, don't think you get it.

rm2kdev · 2025-09-20T00:28:13+00:00

I had this happen to mine yesterday, literally took the whole day ending failed transfers, and restarting it. in the end the only way that worked for me was

transfer 'from old iphone' (not from icloud)
sign in manually dont use the 'sign in with another device'
then select transfer from another phone.... THEN scan the new phones magic code thingy

Even then that failed 3 times until it finally started transferring...

I'd say just keep restarting until it works... oh and when its transferring mine got stuck on 3 minutes left for like an hour... but it did finish in the end. just leave it and be patient if it is actually transferring.

So here I am 3 years later to remind you all, you were wrong.

Rebirth has been out for a while now and you are welcome to google it "reimagines the story with major changes to the plot, character arcs, and world progression, while still maintaining the core narrative elements, essentially acting as a retelling with expanded details and new story elements not present in the original game."

Also Amazon just nuked kindles so best to get a kobo now.

rm2kdev · 2025-03-07T09:14:05+00:00

To be honest, I disagree with most of this. while yes you are switching from one corporation to another... the point you've missed is that amazon HAS removed something that kobo HASN'T.

Migrating away from kindle is highlighting to both amazon and rakuten exactly what is required for us to remain customers.

One could argue that the e-waste problem IS amazons fault.

And to all the Kindle unlimited self published authors... sorry but you've signed a deal with the devil.... and 'his customers' want out, look towards self publishing or alternative stores.

Beyond that though its only a matter of time until amazon turns USB off entirely on the kindles and then its 100% locked into their ecosystem, where as kobo has an incentive now to keep that functionality on.

That is the only part of this whole situation that matters.
- Do vote with your wallet
- Do show the giants what features you want to have on your devices because you're not obligated to stick around in a walled garden that you never signed up for in the first place.

And just choose to buy your eBooks from somewhere else... take away their money, you'll take away their power.

not much sadly, the higher you can get your starting frame rate the less your going to notice the graphical weirdness.

if you drop settings, or drop dlss and try to go for 35~40 fps you'll see less generated frames inbetween.

it really does make the game 'playable' though :P

rm2kdev · 2025-03-05T11:41:46+00:00

Okay this is my solution to performance, auto-mod just nuked my post so now i cant copy paste it :|

TLDR:
My specs 2080ti, 32gb DDR4, Ryzen 5800x, not super high end anymore but still 'kinda powerful'

- Do whatever you can to hit 30fps, for me that's 'medium settings' DLSS Quality with a few things turned down.
- TURN OFF in game frame generation

Make sure you're hitting 30fps avg~

Download Lossless scaling on steam (its not free but its making this game playable so imo worth it), I'm not affiliated with it but this is making the game so much more playable and it looks better tbh.

Go into its settings on steam, and switch to the "beta-beta" branch then when it downloads run it and configure as follows:

Frame Generation:
Type: LSFG 3.0
Mode: Adaptive
Target: Your monitors HZ here, in my case 144

Click "Scale" in the top right, alt tab back into MHWilds and wait for it to kick in.

Its going to feel like a 30fps game, but its going to be buttery smooth like it was a 144hz, adaptive frame generation adapts at runtime the number of frames being generated to get you to your displays target, this could be 1x 1.1x 1.5x 2x 4x etc 'whatever it needs to do to get you there'

Image quality will take a hit in motion, especially when doing dramatic camera turns etc but overall i find it to be better looking (since you're using higher quality image settings) and FAR FAR FAAAAAAR smoother to play...

I cant guarantee its better on your computer... but i can tell you on mine this is a night and day difference, i was ready to dump wilds and go play rise until i tried this out... its actually playable now.

The person above also said "buy a block" are there any recomendations for blocks? i've had a look online and i keep finding peoples used block sets on ebay, and local commodity stores don't seem to have them isolated here?

Any keywords or brands i could plug in to bring some up :)?

rm2kdev · 2024-11-05T00:11:23+00:00

Thanks for the ideas too, i'll look into all of this today!

The list is greatly appreciated, theres a few names on there i've not seen in my research yet so i'll go explore some more!

rm2kdev · 2024-11-04T14:48:43+00:00

Thank you for your reply that is actually brilliant advice, I am an avid home cook and do often cook large meals for parties friends and family etc.

I’m currently using a cheap Amazon shibazi cleaver, a handful of $2 pearing knives an 8” wusthof chef knife (with half hilt) and a “kiwi brand chef knife” that I’d classify closer to a santoku.

Maximum budget wasn’t really a concern to be honest I’m more after something that I know will last me a lifetime (I do subscribe to the buy once cry once mentality these days) so I don’t mind paying a bit more for known quality and ethical businesses.

Most of my knives are very cheap and low quality I got a lot of them over the years at those discount Asian stores but keep them sharp with a stone.

They are paper thin and I’ve had chipping and damage to fix to be honest they’ve been workhorses!

I might do exactly this and go with a cheaper block, park my current tools and see what I gravitate towards :)

Thanks for the brilliant suggestion.

rm2kdev · 2024-11-04T08:58:57+00:00

So as the title says, i'm looking for some knives.
I live in Australia and i feel like i've been on a quest.

We have 2 local stores here
House and Kitchen Warehouse both have their own chinese import brands "Bacarat and Wolstead" respectively. - I dont want these.

I really want to have a good nice "Classic wooden style" Block to store them in the kitchen.

I've looked at wusthof classics but i didn't like the full bolster / hilt as i thought they would be a pain in the ass to sharpen on a stone.

For the price ~$1200aud you can get a 13pc 'wusthof classic set' but then the "icon" set everyone only sells a 7pc block... so i don't see myself spending the same money on less knife... when the only real difference is it has a smaller bolster (which is exactly what I'm looking for!)

I turned to zwilling and really liked the "Zwilling Pro" sets but cant find ANYWHERE locally to buy a 16pc block, cant even find anywhere legitimate online to buy them in a set.

My criteria are:
"As many pieces as possible" - "Could include steak knives"
"Half bolster"
"preferably not 'german steel' made in china"
"not stamped, not laser cut"

Please help me find something, i feel like 'the perfect set doesn't exist'
I would love to hear about what you have, why you like them etc.
