All these years and I think this is the first time I noticed her eyes. ;) Lots of things are dangerous. Like watching this video while with a significant other or while driving...:LOL:

Long time I don't see her, what happened? she disappeared from the internet:( I would learn "oni" level japanese with her :p

is there any 6 dol humble choice code??

Cool you found an $8 code already. If you are a humble bundle subscriber normally but didnt really think a month is worth it and skip instead, sometimes they will make an offer right away to keep and not skip, or if you dont take that offer and still skip, they may send you a discount in email, such as a coupon for $8 to resume if you wait awhile. If it doesn't say "final offer" they may rarely even offer lower $7 or $6 has happened if you still wait even longer. The only issue with waiting is a possible key going out of stock toward the end, and then takes time to come back in stock to redeem. So some like to get right away, check for region locks if they may want to trade or giveaway using gift to friend for each game separately before revealing the codes, then reveal/redeem all the codes with the coupon. You can resume before the next month if you change your mind at the regular price or use the coupon if they sent one, but if you do skip you lose any of the other benefits until you restart. Of course if you do this each month they may stop sending you coupons as its all tracked in your account.

I hope she doesn't look like that through the whole video, it'll be hard to take it serious :ROFLMAO:

but you're a programmer, so you already know that. :LOL:

Oh ya lol...I tried going back to use my old Visual Basic after working in C/C++ for years and I was easily able to manage, but I was coding backwards at some points (styles are reverse on older languages) and I forgot a bunch of simplistic built in keywords since they were VB specific and even at the end of the time I used VB I had stopped using those in exchange for the Widows API., but this time I didn't want external dependencies like DLL files in that ancient of a language traveling around for a small project so I wanted them all built in.

There are ways around it like calling into the newer DLL files and coding the external reference yourself, which is probably how I would have went about it for a larger project or in another language like C Sharp.

Learning japanese sounds so challenging to me, I would need more free time :LOL: and I'm not too much willing to study on books haha.

I just don't have the patience...and just having Turdsplat explain it gives me a brain burst :LOL:

I'd really like too, but I doubt I'll ever have the patience too as well.

maybe the website would work on a phone using your fingertip

Ya it does...but I still couldn't fucking get that symbol to show up :ROFLMAO: and IMO I drew it more close to the dictionary result than you did.

I even tried mimicking your running man to see if I got the same result lol...I didn't. I also didn't get a list, I got about 6 options. I think you have to do it in the correct strokes, which you would know and I obviously wouldn't. I don't even do that in english writing lmao.

It should be hard yes to navigate through the options. I used to play taiko no tatsujin on nintendo ds, it is a rhythm game all in japanese, but after a while I memorized menu options and I understood them without knowing what it was written lol.

I've done this before too, but it can be overwhelming early on...now imagine every time you saw those options you didn't just click through them--you try to understand them rather than just remember the pattern to start the game...I can imagine it would get frustrating lol.

I really wouldn't recommend this for a total beginner, but it's funny to picture a total newb trying that. :ROFLMAO:
If you don't know any Words, Kanji, or Grammar at all, it would be like running an entire book through google translate (line-by-line) and trying to learn the meaning of each Word and Kanji by repetition while guessing how the Grammar works. It's not so bad if you know a bunch of the words and some Kanjis/Grammar to begin with, by the process of elimination (eliminating the words you already know) you can figure out what the other Kanjis mean, because the game will likely repeat them and you'll learn by context when Google Translate keeps giving the same definition to the same Kanji over and over as you play (same for the words), but the Grammar you'll have to study separately. This will easily turn a 16 hour game into a 160 hour game (perhaps longer).

I don't want to totally knock it though, this approach is fine if you've already studied a bunch and need practice while learning new Words and Kanji at the same time. For a total beginner, you need games that specifically target that market, the Learn Japanese games we talked about last time are perfect. (y)

I found some other ones, one looks decent, the other not so great.

This doesn't look like it's worth $25 the words are too easy, you can learn them in any Japanese beginner book, or Youtube for free. If this game shows up in a bundle for 60 cents, then I'd recommend it.

Learn Japanese on Steam

Learn Japanese is an innovative game where players will learn the Japanese language with minimal effort. Learn Japanese is the fastest way to learn the Japanese language.
store.steampowered.com store.steampowered.com

This game looks much better to me, but I don't think it's worth $20 I would say $5 is a good full price and bundle price would obviously be best.

Learn Japanese RPG: Hiragana Forbidden Speech on Steam

Dialogue changes from English to Japanese as you learn and progress in this comedic RPG backed by professional Japanese voice acting. This is a full 18+ hour introductory Japanese course and adventure all in one. Master hiragana, 136+ kanji, basic grammar, 240 common words used in anime.
store.steampowered.com store.steampowered.com

If I'm being critical of it though, it replaces Kanji with Hiragana. The Kanji 私 is spelled out as わたし in the game (WATASHI) it means I or Me (depending on context) and 犬 is spelled out as いぬ (INU) it means Dog. Here I'll point out in case anyone will call me out on it, that の (NO) is Grammar, it turns "Me" into "My" so "Watashino Inu" means "My dog" so yeah, my complaint is that it's not teaching you the Kanji that would show up in real Japanese, but to be fair, this is how they teach Japanese children before introducing them to Kanji, they start replacing the words spelled in Hiragana with the actual Kanjis, that replacing part you'll have to do by yourself using a book or Youtube, but as long as you're aware of it, the game looks nice.
