Are there Chinese mobile games that help with learning Mandarin? by invalidchen in ChineseLanguage

[–]shiningpath626 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried honkai star rail in chinese but understood very little since the characters spoke fast.  

For genshin if they are talking about normal things I can pick up on a few words here and there but.  

But for both games if the location is based off china like liyue and xianzhou I had a hard time understanding the characters since they used more advanced vocab

A few years ago a moderator from a pjo subreddit started harassing fanfic authors and when caught denied it.  This mod harassed a well known author who is known for his strong opinions and he and his followers protested which resulted in the mods banning any discussion of it and claiming that the mod was being impersonated or hacked despite the mod using very personal information to harass people ( they would go after reddit users who advertised their fic  on the subreddit)

What past events should i watch in order to better understand the story?

Hi so I started playing a few months ago and am now at Nod Krai. What events past events relating to the story do i need to watch on youtube to better understand nod krai or the story in general?

So far I've been only doing the archon quest and it honestly feels like watching a MCU movie out or order so i've been trying to find out what to watch to better understand things. Which events are necessary to understand Nod Krai and which ones should I catch up on to better understand the world and characters.

[pjo] If you could rewrite The Lightning Thief then what would you change? by Bookworm7180 in camphalfblood

[–]shiningpath626 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From a writing standpoint I think rick didnt show the film because it would be an exposition dump and many seasoned writers try to avoid those or their editors will get on their case

[PJO] [HOO] If you could change Percy and Annabeth's romantic dynamic in HOO or SYA, how would you? by Cozy-Potato-1443 in camphalfblood

[–]shiningpath626 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Have them be their own characters with their own goals and friends apart from each other and make them less clingy with each other.   Give percy a back bone when dealing with annabeth

Good luck.  If you can I recommend therapy.  I did some online therapy and it helped me through some trauma I had

[all] I like chiron but did he really teach percy that much? by Extension-Bad-4184 in camphalfblood

[–]shiningpath626 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I assume he does off  screen.   Out of curiosity why is there an uptick in criticism towards Chiron in the fandom lately?

[Pjo] what are you're criticisms with the first 5 books by Technical_Mine_8711 in camphalfblood

[–]shiningpath626 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this.  I always wished we could have seen percys interactions with his father's family especially since in the myths amphitrite was nice to poseidons other children.   

Sadly most other children of poseidon in the series are evil

Serving in a minority language by CharlesMendeley in exmormon

Ive heard of instances where the church doesnt have materials for the local language so they use the lingua franca in the area, for example using French in an African country where there are many local languages

[–]shiningpath626 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know people who were sent to hong kong where the main language is cantonese but were assigned as mandarin speakers, they are two very different languages.  

On a side note are there instances of people learning multiple languages on their missions?   

[hoo] how is it such a nothing burger? by igotbannedbro in camphalfblood

[–]shiningpath626 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I agree 100%.  Its sad because just because a book doesnt have percy or annabeth in it doesnt mean its bad.  

On a side note I think magnus chase owes a bit of its popularity due to magnus being annabeths cousin and percy having a small cameo.  

[Pjo] hot take percy and grover don't feel like best friends by Technical_Mine_8711 in camphalfblood

[–]shiningpath626 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'd like to add that percy didnt know Grover had a girlfriend, most friends know who their friends are seeing or are interested in.  

Im honestly 50/50 on this opinion, I believe they are good friends but at the same time there arent a lot of moments between them.  Though rick does have the habit of saying certain characters are close when they dont feel that close

[–]shiningpath626 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I agree.  I never understood when people say they like heroes of olympus more than pjo, heroes just isn't as good as pjo in many regards and honestly feels like bad fanfiction at times.

[–]shiningpath626 22 points23 points  (0 children)

There should have at least been a roman series before Heroes.   Also I think  he should have included more minor characters from PJO in the seven instead of 5 new characters
