  1. Decided to go through with learning Japanese.

    I have been waiting to find useful vocabulary resources before diving in headfirst. But it's become clear that I'm just procrastinating.

    I think learning the grammar should give me enough of a foothold for my chosen method of learning that I can just look up everything else.

    The plan is to finish with katakana, basic grammar, and radicals. Then proceed with brute-force reading until I remember the rest. This should make it a little bit less boring than just grinding anki ...
  2. Self-Teaching Japanese

    The Japanese-only release of Remake has got me thinking about learning Japanese again. I have already built up a range of online and offline resources to to help me with this.

    I have a few minor advantages going into this:
    - I have already taught myself hiragana to the extent that I can read anything written in it at a moderate pace, and have made good progress with katakana.
    - I am already familiar with some linguistic terminology and the IPA because of my conlanging hobby. ...
  3. I wonder if there's a chemestry person in the house

    At least her stuff will always be multiple choice.


    (oh yea, finished moving and finally, and my door's getting put in today (I think))

  4. Help wanted #03: Character design

    by , March 21st, 2013 at 12:09 AM (Nicktendonick's Blog)
    Hi there.

    Right now, I seem to be having a little problem with designing a character.

    Actually, this usually is a big problem for me, I can form how a person is and how they look, but costume? Nope.

    For the current target of my editing, he seems to have white shorts, and a jersey that's tan short sleeves and a white body. Short black hair.

    That does not sound like main character material, he sounds too plain. He lacks that iconic look that ...
  5. Help Wanted #02 - Laptop choosings confusion

    by , January 2nd, 2013 at 03:04 AM (Nicktendonick's Blog)
    Well, turns out I might be able to exchange the laptop I have, which can't run the high end stuff, for one that can.

    Money is a issue, and I do wish I could get what I want (play PC games decently, enjoy PSO2) at the cheapest price possible.
