Good that most apps I use now are open source but for those few that I still get from Aurora Store it might be a death sentence but perhaps this API could be spoofed?
Same for me on 0.2.1. Actually a lot of posts with videos crash.
Just finished last episode of Oshi no Ko and I can see why it’s in the first spot. It’s just keeps getting better and better. I love how they made one of the best animations I’ve ever seen but then they said: “You know what? That’s just not enough let’s just make it more creative, expressive, colorful.” But obviously VA performance and plot is also amazing so it just keeps delivering peak entertainment.
My favorite has to be 切る. 26 ducking meanings! It’s not even a different kanji per meaning! WTF!
Also mandatory Dogen video.
I hope it’s good cause I absolutely love character design!
I know how you feel man. I used to work in a job like that. Honestly what saved me was reading some comedy manga on mangadex. Since it didn’t require a lot of brainpower and I could just stop reading it whenever I wanted it was perfect for times like this. My head also was in a much better state than after scrolling back then reddit for hours. If you don’t like manga you could just find some easy book.
If you can’t go for a walk during work go before or after work. I try to cycle every day after work and it always makes me feel better.
Go for a walk, read a book, watch a movie, play a game it will make you feel so much better. Just remember to change activities every few hours. If you’re going to play games for 10h you are probably going to get bored of it way too quickly.
When I finally go to Japan I’ll be on the quest to collect as many “Engrish” signs as possible! I’m sure some are left!
Grasscutter is an unofficial reimplantation of the game server that you can self-host. It allows you to do many things that are usually reserved only for devs like spawning monsters, getting characters via one command, getting artifacts with the stats you want etc. Cultivation is a launcher that allows you to easily run that server and make game connect to that server instead official ones.
True those words are N4 but some decks on Anki will include those since those are common words.
But even if you use only N5 decks you can guess the meaning. When I was starting I barely understood a thing and yet I was able to guess the meaning. You just get: “please ahead **** **** don’t go ****”. “Yeah it probably means to not go any further.” I mean true, you can’t fully read the message but enough to get the meaning.
Your translation isn’t bad but I’d say it’s too literal. I’d translate it to something like this:
It’s dangerous beyond this point, please don’t go any further.
Though keep in mind I’m no expert and this could probably be translated better :p
Playing the game on an unsupported system is against TOS but the only ban I ever heard of was in the early days when they tried to create a patch and obviously it was trial and error. Right now no patch is needed, you can download the official launcher, put it in Heroic or Lutris and play like on windows. (You can also download it from Epic on Heroic). It works great but there is also the anime game launcher that allows you to easily configure a few things like 120FPS patch, wine setting etc.
Happy to help! I remember getting this video in the recommended tab on YouTube at the right time. If not for this video I’d probably give up on japanese tbh. I felt like I was working really hard with no results. His channel is a gold mine of great learning methods. Depending how serious you are you can do what he’s done or like me, study for just a 15 min a day. It might seem low but still depending on the topic I still can understand 70-99% of what’s being said.
New bad.
Duolingo is good for the first few days to see what the language is about but as a main learning resource I’d say it’s pretty bad.
When I was starting, there was just not enough content and after finishing it all I still couldn’t understand hiragana fully.
Things have gotten better in recent years that’s why I decided to revisit Duolingo a few months ago but I found content to be so inconsistent and impractical. Sometimes they teach you something simple and sometimes you get a word that is usually at the end of any language course.
Many sentences are just dumb and/or have no use in real life.
Once I got to translate: 「私はりんご」which to be fair is a sentence that one could say and it wouldn’t be weird but not only you don’t have a context but the accepted translation was “I’m an apple”. Which is obviously ridiculous. Correct but ridiculous. It feels like they took out of context examples and decided to put it in “translate this sentence category”. If you’re wondering btw how this sentence could be used it’s worth remembering that “私は” means “As for me” not “I am” so for example when someone asks your name you say:「私はトムです」which literally means “As for me Tom”. It sounds weird though so obviously we translate it as “I’m Tom”. Same with apple, “As for me Apple” can be an answer to a question “What fruits do you like?”
If you want to learn quickly I recommend downloading the Anki app. It’s a flashcards system where you can download premade decks of cards or create your own. I started with popular Anime/VN vocabulary deck and then some N5 vocabulary deck. When you want to go to the next level you download 2k/6k deck. If you still struggle with hiragana and katakana then I really recommend tofu guide.. It was so good I learned everything in one day. As for anything other than vocabulary Tim Kae’s “Guide to Japanese” is an absolutely amazing resource.
I also recommend Livakivi on YouTube. He also started with Duolingo and then got into sentence mining in Anki. Now he speaks really good Japanese. I like to watch him for motivation and to see just how much effort is needed for certain level.
As far as I know people play on Linux with cultivation but for me the problem is that the current version of cultivation is stuck on game version 4.0.0. There is a patch for 4.6 but it is not merged yet and version 5.0 is around the corner.
Edit (Response to edit 2): You can try to ask in their discord, from what I seen there was a report that version 4.6 doesn’t work but 4.0 works just fine according to OP. You can also try to check logs maybe something useful will be there.
Those are rather common words so depending on your learning source you should be able to read most of it (enough to understand meaning) in a month or two.
From this picture definitely worth learning first are those words imo:
Remember to be consistent in your studies, it’s better to learn for 10 minutes every day than an hour every week.
Good luck in your journey!
Just change how you think about this: Instead of reminding you about your hairline it shows that you’re not the only one!
