Lately I've been tinkering with the idea of using screenshots to supplement my crusty old anki deck. I have a few dozen screenshots, and I'm finding this reasonably effective, but beyond that, it's also kinda fun. Suddenly I'm capturing moments, with voices and faces, instead of marking dictionary entries for rote memorization. Engaging new material feels like looking for rare pokemon— I want to take the most-wrong-answered cards of my deck, and find actual examples of each. Have you tried this, anon? Does it scale?

>>1081510 >Have you tried this, anon? Does it scale? I haven't really done it with video-games, but I have used Memento to do "one mouse click cards" that have a screenshot, audio, definitions and the sentence itself for anime and TV shows. Here is a video with a similar setup that I used https://yewtu.be/watch?v=5bfawC4Is5w (you get the necessary links in the video description), with the one big difference in that I set it up for Word cards(with the sentence as a helper), instead of Sentence cards. I know there are tons of debates on this subject, but from my personal experience when I went with the Tango TheMoeWay for N5 and N4, is that I would end up reading the first few words of a sentence, then immediately know what the sentence is, without finishing it as well as what the target word would be, even if it's at the end of the sentence, so it's not that I learned the word, but that I associated "かれは" with "学校" which is not good. Here is a picture of how my cards look nowadays, as I switched to a monolingual dictionary(though I still have the bilingual one, when I don't understand the definition), as well as my Memento setup(I use the animecards template https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/151553357) I once tried to do the same with a Visual Novel, since I can go through them at my own pace, but rarely do I find one that is fully voiced, so for those I tried using Japanese let's players that read the VN when there was no voice acting, and try to record it and sync it with the cards, while also using software to extract the text and add them on a webpage, so that I could use yomitan to create the card. In the end it was too much of a hassle, so I prefer mining using anime, and vidya for immersion. >inb4 why use Memento when you could do the same thing with mpv and the necessary plugins Memento is mpv with all the plugins in one big package that just works. I initially tried setting up mpv, but it was just easier to use Memento. I am sure you could have an even better setup with mpv, but this was good enough for me.

>>1080622 (OP) I'm going to go a bit off topic with this, but are there any other non-English/Japanese languages worth learning specifically for vidya? I've heard strong cases made for Russian, Chinese and Portuguese for the sheer amount of players from each respective region, but I wanna know you guys' opinion, and if you had resources for those languages that are as good as the ones for Japanese. Also, are there any games that are best enjoyed in a specific language that isn't strictly English or Japanese?

>>1081552 Maybe russian for piracy but other than that I can't really think of any other unless you're specifically into the games a certain country makes.

>>1081552 >but are there any other non-English/Japanese languages worth learning specifically for vidya? Not really unless you want to specifically play vidya released from a specific country. Probably Korean is the next "big" contender because they are extremely present in the gaming space, and Russian if you're interested in Slav-jank. And I would say Chinese, but that's too much of a mess to deal with. Because you have to decide if you want to learn traditional (Taiwan) or simplified (West Taiwan/CCP), and there is a huge difference. And even then, many Asian productions translated into Chinese also often have an English translation attached because that's one of the primary languages in the region if the game is lacking a Korean/Japanese translation. If you're looking for another language to learn specifically for the purposes of consuming media, not just video games, I'd say French or Italian because of how important they are in the comic industry.

>>1081552 >players That doesn't matter, at least not until later generations when those players become developers. What matters is where the games are coming from, which is largely Japan, America, and the UK. Chinese games might slowly become a thing but it'll be a while. Korean games are coming a bit faster and have a bit more history but they still have a long ways to grow. Other European countries have few games relative to the overall industry, and most of the good ones are already translated.

>>1081510 Ah,too much work

I see in famitsu they only put furigana on the first time words show up in an article. Good for learning.

>>1081552 There are a lot of German-only games, if you're big into graphic adventure games and CRPGs.

Does anybody know what this says? It's basic katakana but I can't quite make out all of the characters.
