What really condemns us to AI slop world is the fact that we refuse to support and share the work of human creators.
Can't tell you how depressed it makes me when people don't even want to try my free content and yet see them complain about gen AI

Wanted to split this up more but my tools are giving me issues.
For the next part of Study Smart N3 Vocab, focusing on important or common Kanji characters to learn basic meanings. Doing this and reviewing it will help with learning future vocab

PSA: if you are cramming for the JLPT, Bunpro actually has free practice tests on their website. When you review, they explain the answers.
I really like this approach. My main criticism is I think the listening test acting needs work and I would like to see actual JLPT scoring system for results

Looks like the region locked PS5 finally picked up some sales. Even Pro. That's a good sign but something to keep in mind is last Friday is when Black Friday sales started at big shops so this is potentially temporarily. The real test is if can keep selling outside.

There may be the song Video Killed the Radio Star, but what really kills radio is how they play the same song too frequently.
It was really annoying when I would have to use the restroom at work and the workplace radio would have Adelle saying "Hello" (even if it's also funny from a different pov)

Question for those learning Japanese:
What is your ideal length for the vocab list videos?
This will help me consider how I break up videos or what vocab I put into them.
For example, this one turned out over 20 minutes for 100 words but includes English and example sentences

Taking a break from the Zelda thread to bring you this vocab list for JLPT N3 exam. My plan is to strategically break them up for easier studying and review. First off are words that are just hiragana.
Example Sentences and English Audio are included.

It's weird when you haven't posted anything for a while but then you get a block notification. Probably that misleading XC2 list which I haven't even played the game.
Oh well, as much as you want to help people, some people don't want to be helped.

It may be small but it's still motivating when you pass the practice exam. Doing a listening exam everyday does seem to be helping me improve my performance

Reading the DK Bananza interview and the timing of things, I wonder if what happened is Miyamoto was so disappointed when Activision heads refused to greenlight Vicarious Vision's DK game that he had Koizumi agree the 3D Mario team would make one after they finished Odyssey.

Is anyone else having weird issues with pairing pro controllers to the Switch 2? Since the last update, wireless connecting hasn't been working and I have to reset the console before it connects.
Even more unreliable for 3rd party controllers even though was working fine before

Xenoblade 3 and the DLC are on sale. Good deal considering Future Redeemed is pretty much its own 20-30 hour game. So to get that for $20 is great

One other thing about Yotei.
I wrote a piece last year about how reviewers shouldn't dock their scores for weaker optional content. This is exactly why.
I don't have to do any of this optional content that I dont think is compelling. The game is essentially telling me its not as good. /1

But regardless, since I started mainlining Im having a much better time. Just had a pretty epic ass moment happen too.

After seeing PS5 sales very low this week in Japan, it'll be interesting to see the sales next week. However, since price was only one issue, I still don't expect it to be so high.
One note is it's the least popular model getting the price cut so it actually minimizes loss.

Got fever and massive headache. Plus with JLPT in a couple of weeks, I guess I will be taking a break from the anime vocab lists. There will likely still be a JLPT list after I recover but anime ones will have to wait until after Dec 7
