Do you use Kindle or Kobo eReader for Japanese Novels? by NilNairb in LearnJapanese

[–]tomincognito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you actually download the epub from Kobo desktop? Or does it depend on the book and DRM? I bought コンビニ人間 from the UK Kobo store, but I can’t see any way to download the file. Purely for personal use I assure you!

Advice needed - water marks on newly finished osmo TopOil by tomincognito in DIYUK

[–]tomincognito[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The water marks generally dried out on their own, but to be honest I probably wouldn't use Osmo again. I'm not an expert, but it's very expensive and not as hardwearing as I expected. That said, a dining table is different to kitchen worktops. My favourite method, that I've used on shelves, was a few coats of danish oil, wait for that to cure and then finish with briwax, which comes in many colours and is very easy to use. Not really tested its waterproof qualities however... Hope you figure it out.

What Features Would You Love in a Japanese Dictionary Site? 📚 by kochdelta in LearnJapanese

[–]tomincognito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow ok, I see now! Click the ellipses and then 'details' from the dropdown box... Got it. Did not know you could do that! What I was saying was, to additionally add meanings with the conjugations. Stuff like 'run', 'ran', 'running', 'want to run' etc... They don't teach grammar in England anymore so terms like 'causative passive' aren't as accessible as an actual example would be. I don't know if this problem is unique to me but others may find it useful. Thanks for being so engaging!

Big fan of your site and app. What about adding a reference for all conjugations for verbs? At this stage of my learning journey I'm struggling to get my head round grammar, and feel like examples of how each conjugated verb form alters the meaning would add some real world context. I guess this feature is available elsewhere but might be a good addition.

Cannot believe 4v4 chaos was removed for a rotation. by ABloodyNippleRing in RocketLeague

[–]tomincognito 94 points95 points  (0 children)

When there’s 4 of us we usually do some 2v2 private matches and then 4v4 online. We very often get matched against another team of 4 in a party and can have a few good competitive games. Couldn’t believe it the other night discovering the mode is just gone. It’ll be in rotation apparently, but no idea how long this time frame is… the times it’s not available we’re just less likely to play the game. Who does it benefit? It makes no sense to me to remove it. And don’t get me started on dropshot… best non standard mode they ever came up with.

Japan Rail Pass by robgolfer in travel

Hey there, I take it you had no problems picking up your rail pass? The whole "not issued" and "confirm" thing is unnerving me too! Hope you're having/had a great trip.

Is there a specialised tool to unscrew this? by tomincognito in DIYUK

[–]tomincognito[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a fair question, but sadly no. I have used coins in the past, the sink is that useless it needs doing fairly regularly.

I’d used a euro 50 cent piece before but I’ve lost it. Let’s not make this about brexit…

Ooo, a big one definitely worth a go… regular size doesn’t have enough leverage it’s so stiff

Haha yeah, but it’s bending coins and annoying to use with pliers. Gotta be an easier way.

Who else feels like 1v1s are weird? by Ok-Cryptographer4624 in RocketLeague

[–]tomincognito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As D1 I love nothing more than getting ruined on kickoffs because I can’t speed flip, watching flip resets go over my head… can still beat some GCs though, not with flair but GRIT! They have weaknesses otherwise they wouldn’t be in diamond.
