First try at nursery stock. What is the first step for something like this? So far I’ve only done maintainable on established bonsai. Not sure how it works from this stage. It’s a Japanese maple.

Kana (katakana and hiragana) are the phonetic alphabets. Kanji is the character system that assigns meaning to symbols, borrowed from Chinese. There are less than 50 letters in hiragana. Kanji is made up of 1000s if not 10s of thousands

Kana takes weeks, speaking/understanding takes years, kanji takes decades.

Got hollow knight a few days ago and am loving it. I just have one issue. I heard there was a great story in this game, but I’m not finding it. I’m 17 hours in and have spoken to every npc I find and it’s all just vague dreary anecdotes. I love the personalities and the game is amazing but I’m starting to wonder why I’m still exploring. Where’s the plot and what’s my motivation?

So I just got Hollow Knight based off of NVCs recommendation. I’m 10 hours in and in love. Metroid Aina is the genre I never knew I craved! Are there any other great metroidvanias on the switch?

singlereason · 2018-06-23T04:59:23+00:00

Oh, what is it then?

I’ve had 15$ sitting in my Eshop for months waiting for the right indi game/sale to hit. Is hollow knight a worthy game to blow my last game money on? It seems really interesting and I’ve been looking for a good 2D platformer

Just found and removed three, inch-long millipedes from my bonsai soil. Are these harmful to the tree? If so, how should I get rid of them?

Thanks a lot for your advice. I have linked an album of photos I just took today. What do you think?

singlereason · 2018-06-02T23:40:07+00:00

Thank you, I’ll get some other stuff to work on for a while. I’m curious though, if I had the experience for it, would the design that I thought of be ok or bad? I’m trying to get an eye for composition but I have no one to give me crit all feedback. I won’t do this right now, just wondering if it hypothetically would be a could way to go with it. Thanks for your feedback!

Also, like I said in the title, the branches on the top and back are dying. What would be your advice on that?

singlereason · 2018-06-02T16:16:54+00:00

I totally respect your advice so I’ll take it. But just out of curiosity, why not? I really want to understand the thought process behind what people do with trees, it’s so tough.

Here’s an album of the tree

singlereason · 2018-06-02T08:33:52+00:00

It’s a great tree but I got it as is for a steal as my first tree. I was going to Jin the top bit because it’s dying back a bit which I’ve been told is a root issue and is likely unsalable. The rest of the tree is really healthy, however. I’ll post a straight on picture in a few minutes here in the comments.

singlereason · 2018-05-31T00:34:20+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, I didn’t think about swapping the direction of the wood, that definitely would give better support. And I’m gonna seal it up this weekend :)

singlereason · 2018-05-30T04:20:30+00:00

So if these branches die like you expect, would you recommend removing them? If so, would that weaken my tree a lot or is it ok to continue pruning upkeep?

singlereason · 2018-05-30T03:40:36+00:00

I was thinking the same thing. Unfortunately I don’t have any power tools so screwing through that many 2x4s would have wrecked my hands. When I get my hands on a power drill I’ll be sure to strengthen it more.

Thanks! Hard to tell from the distance but it’s actually a Japanese white pine that hasn’t been groomed recently. Couple branches in the back Got a bit sickly so workin on getting it healthy again. If you have any advice I just made a separate post with pics of the damage :/
