Finished Kyuuyaku Megami Tensei I, Megaman Battle Network (1), and Pokémon Colosseum, among other not JRPGs, I also started documenting the games I finish each month in my blog, I used to just share my thoughts on Mastodon, but I like it better this way. So far this month I have finished Blue Dragon (started playing it last month), started Advance Wars, and plan to start — and hopefully finish — Lost Odyssey, don't think I'll get to squeeze in any more JRPGs this month, I try to play other genres in between JRPGs to introduce variety, even tho I mostly cruise trough those games to get back to the JRPGs.

Oh, I've been fighting the need to use Remembering The Kanji since 2016, I thought having to memorize thousands of mnemonics plus thousands of characters, plus radicals wasn't a smart way of studying, but boy, how wrong I was!

I am already using kanji.koohi! Most of the mnemonics I'm using come from there, the community have came up with some great ones across the years.

Recently decided to bite the bullet and use the book Remembering The Kanji for my Japanese learning plan, it's good, I feel like I'm making great progress so far, I'm only around 10% in but that's not too bad for less than 2 weeks.

You might like reading the book Atomic Habits before putting any effort on language learning, it has, in fact, nothing to do with language learning, but it can help you find the time to commit to language learning and not necessarily rely on motivation.

I've been learning languages for the past 10 years or so, including English, the language I'm writing this message in, which is not my native language.

I certainly don't know what the "best" way is, but what I do is get a lot of input, review vocabulary with Anki (spaced repetition software), and slowly make my way through the pile of grammar.

Red Bull Racing took multiple Ls here:

1 - putting the hard tires on (this one goes to the team engineer) 2 - asking Max to give the position back after he was clearly pushed (this one goes to the team engineer too) 3 - crashing into Russell (this one goes to Max)

If they avoided this three dumb mistakes Max could have ended 4th, he would have had it difficult because of the lack of grip, but at the very least he wouldn't have been penalized.

He not being able to get to Q3 is nobody's fault — but his.

I wish my girlfriend bought me a pressure cooker.

I honestly think the same, there's too many weirdos out there.

Yes, I did stuff like this when I was a kid, everybody does, but no, I wasn't actively encouraged to do so, au contraire, my parents always taught me how to behave in public and I'm grateful for it. Kids will become adults one day, if they are never taught how to behave they'll probably end up being entitled pricks that think they can do whatever they want whenever they want.
