I honestly struggle to remember the time periods of when I played which games with much clarity - for a lot of my life I barely paid attention to the year lol
However! I do have a game that's pretty defining for uh....this year? Last year? I got it for Christmas so most of the playtime has been this year, but the year is long and young so who knows what'll happen throughout
But in lieu of a list of defining games I'll just describe this one with some extra detail as a penance of sorts
But without further adieu! That game is Etrian Mystery Dungeon!
Now the game itself is pretty cool, because I've been a fan of Mystery Dungeon ever since I first played Pokemon Mystery Dungeon as a wee child (and cried my heart out at it, it was a very emotional game)
It's tough as nails though, which is why I still haven't finished it (well that and forgetfulness), but also a part of why I love it
But the real for-true honest part of why it's so defining for me right now is because it's a physical, Japanese cartridge that I play on a Japanese 3DS
It's defining because it's like a milestone in how far I've come in terms of studying and how many resources I have available
(Also hopefully it's cool that I'm posting on an old post  )

Granted! But your pony used to belong to Poseidon, and he wants it back! Better be careful near the ocean

I wish it would snow where I am!

Hello! I'm especially antsy to cause discussion of a slightly less spamboard nature, so I thought I'd ask about hobbies!

Feel free to use this space to talk about, ask about, learn about, or swerve about various hobbies!

It could be one you're super into, or one you wish you were into, etc.!
You can just gush about what you're into, or ask other people about what they're into, etc. etc. y'all get the idea

To get things rolling I'll ramble for a bit about Japanese! More specifically, Kanji - for those not in the know, kanji is a writing system where each symbol represents an idea or concept; these can be more simple (like 木 - tree) or more abstract (like 気 - spirit).
Usually Kanji is touted as a super giga-hard part of learning Japanese, because there's thousands of Kanji to learn. I won't lie, it can definitely be a doozy, but a lot of people overlook some of the beauty in Kanji!
One of the biggest things about Kanji is that it can make it realistic to find out what a word means without actually looking it up! I mean....this doesn't always work, since sometimes words are just abstract or have weird meanings, but it works enough to be notable!
And even if you can't find it out on the first try, it can make memorizing the word a lot easier!

For an example, let's take two kanji - 文 and 学
文 means "sentence", and 学 means "study"
if you put them together, you get 文学 - Literature
And what's more, each kanji has certain pronunciations, so you can reasonably guess how to pronounce a word just by looking at the kanji!

Of course there's a lot of nuance to it - a lot of Kanji will have many super-different meanings, or a lot of pronunciations, or the pronunciation might change because of something called "Rendaku"
So it definitely can get messy, but it can also help clear up a lot of mess!


Now feel free to talk about whatever you want - it doesn't have to have anything to do with my Japanese ramble it's just about having fun
