if you dont know moonrunes, you shouldnt be on Ganker
thats the dumbest thing ive ever seen. i dont know if its supposed to be serious or not
why in the world would you waste your time coming up with or memorizing mnemonics for kana?... it's already a waste of time doing it for kanji.
Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji aren't moon runes.
Moon runes are what happens when an Anon doesn't install East Asian fonts, and then tries to play a Japanese eroge, which doesn't load when he clicks its .exe, and instead spits out garbled text, and they post it online asking someone what's wrong, and everyone tells him they cannot help him cause they cannot read 'moon runes' (only elves can read that shit). How that got misinterpreted as Japanese altogether speaks volumes about the lack of intelligence of the average western newbie (shame most of you are now adults spreading this misconception).
damn... i dont care
That's cause you are low IQ, the hallmark trait of an objectively worthless person.
to be fair japanese do kind of look like moonrunes even as a ちょっと出来る, and personally when i think of the japanese language my first thought is 月. don't ask why that kanji in particular jumps out at me, i couldn't tell you if i tried
for me, it's 萩
>needs to explain moonrunes

okay grandpa, we love your stories about the old days, now let's get you back to the mausoleum, okay?
Language changes, including and especially slang.
In a decade of Gankering I have never seen anyone use the term "moon runes" for anything other than actual Japanese text.
Even if it meant something else initially, it doesn't anymore because no one uses the term that way anymore.
you're an idiot
Mnemonics are useless. If you can't memorize the characters, you won't be able to memorize the mnemonics either.

>sets the tone for how the rest of their campaign will go

Always found the jap campaign more compelling compared to the Germans. Sure the krauts will nade spam and that sniper section is a pain in the ass. But the way the japs will shoot you from the trees, boobytrap corpses and banzai charge you through the smoke is top tier. You take full advantage of smoking these fuckers out with fire and how good eight fast shots are compared to 5 slow ones from a bolty.
It's honestly kind of embarrassing that Sledgehammer thought it was smart to try to fucking evoke comparisons to Treyarch campaigns of all things.

I'm currently in the middle of calling three utility companies to set up shit because their gay websites can't process not having kanji in my name. Electricity was a shitshow, gas went a lot smoother and I'm just procrastinating before I call water.
japanese business phone calls are so hard bros, they talk so damn fast and the audio quality is ass. my little baka ass gotta ask them to repeat every question three times. I'm gonna go out and have a nice lunch after this tho
you ever have to handle those agents nhk hire to harass people until they sub?
no because I do sub because I think public broadcasting rules.
does nipland have it like the uk where you have to have a licence to watch the telly innit
nta but yeah if you own a tv and it is capable of receiving, you are legally required to have the nhk sub
the goons they hire will make all kinds of assertions like your monitor or car or phone or toilet can be used as a tv and therefore you aren't exempt
same as it is in the UK then. though i havent heard of the nhk going around in vans claiming they have technology that can tell if you have a tv like the BBC did
maybe u should try to at least pass the bare minimum n1 exam before moving there lol

Only the recent ones do. Can't remember for the GC era, but anything before that lacks it (and the NES games only have katakana).
i mean how old do you want to go?
the original doesn't have furigana, that's the DS remake, no?
bro what the fuck are you talking about? you gonna import a fucking console and cartridge from japan? just emulate one of the many versions that have furigana
>furigana
skill issue, just use a dictionary retard, oh and before you go and use it, none of that jisho shit (japanese to english) use a real one https://www.weblio.jp/
ahem, that's embarrassing. when i said to use a real dictionary, i meant to link https://kotobank.jp/
Kanji have multiple readings, so furigana is useful for a westerner to suss out the difference between 乳房 being read as ちぶさ and it being read as にゅうぼう. Honestly, the dictionary readings of many Kanji aren't worth remembering a lot of the time.
The best learning tool that doesn't treat Furigana as a crutch are the Hobby Japan light novels (HJ Bunko); they have furigana for the first instance of most kanji, and then leave it without furigana for the rest of the chapter. That way you get the reading, and then pay attention to the Kanji as it's repeated over and over.
>Kanji have multiple readings
say something I don't know
>Honestly, the dictionary readings of many Kanji aren't worth remembering a lot of the time.
IDIOT, the reason you use a japanese dictionary is so that you learn a japanese description for japanese words, to help you gain a Japanese understanding of the words, and not a shitty wank translation of it, that doesn't really express the true intent
>Hobby Japan light novels (HJ Bunko)

Why were imperial nips so bloodthirsty and savage, and why did it change to them not even wanting to fuck anymore?
they had that racial supremacy the germans had but 10x worse on top of them believing they were genuinely like modern day samurai. german culture didn't change too much when the nazis came to power but with the japs its that nothing changed at all and they were still the militaristic feudal society they were before just on the imperial scale
two bombs
The Japanese imperial troops were mostly orphans who were brainwashed with lies that foreigners tortured and killed their parents. Their training included torturing and killing animals from a young age in order to desensitize them into committing atrocities.
Them not fucking anymore is due to them not having good enough economic opportunities, so it's difficult for them to start families. Their economy has been fucked for over 30 years.
>" lies that foreigners tortured and killed their parents"
>t. historylet
The entire reason why Japanese propaganda worked so well is because it contained pieces of truth to it you idiot. Japan was not welcomed at the Leagues after WW1 despite helping because they were "asiatic barbarians" not fit for the White man's meeting. That's not even bringing up the fact they got dominated by European powers to do what they want. The treatment of Japan after WW2 pretty much vindicated their beliefs. Modern Japan is pretty much a glorified US vassal state considering how much influence American corporations can do
But Africa is much poorer and the birthrates over there are generally several times higher, hell even China is still better off.
Idk but we should have dropped a 3rd bomb on Tokyo killing the emperor.

tae kim if you want to spend at least a year thinking there is no syntax in japanese sentences and then crawl back to cure dolly anyway
whomst???
Genki
I tried to read katawa shoujo and f/sn in japanese and had to look up every word with the textractor, is it supposed to be this hard on my first reading or are there easier vns to start with?
try building a bigger grammar level and vocab through cure dolly's grammar course on YT or try Tae Kim
I’m about 3/4 done with tae kim’s guide, it’s more that I don’t recognize any of the words and it’s torturous trying to read the lines.
https://jpdb.io/ try this site and maybee pick one that's easier
Oh thanks!
I’m already re-reading it since I forgot some grammar points.
rote memorize every word in tae kim and then read tae Kim again.

Chill, moron, it's just CoD.
what point are you trying to make if any
No war games ever featured atrocities. It would cause too much controversy.
>no level where you discover the corpses of a family who killed themselves rather than face Soviet anger.
No but you did see cowards and deserters hanging just from the defenders of Berlin as you wash over them as the Red Army. That section is pretty harrowing when you consider that its happening across the city.

It's supposed to prove that it's a pain in the ass to read, but I guess you wouldn't be able to tell anyway, since you can't read Japanese in the first place.

So how did Japan even achieve this?
The Japanese are the most pacifist race in the world, right?
They even have abandoned the military since losing the last war.
Their culture essentially has very little in common with war and brutality like how they still want to keep their demilitarized state even though their neighboring countries already have massive militaries, right?
>The Japanese are the most pacifist race in the world, right?
moron they have an entire section in history where they just kill each other for hundred of years non-stop.

Nip agglutinative structure is too much for me. Audio helps distinguish portions but they even "slow" reading are fast, and reading is like trying to peel duct tape with mittens.
Kanjis are a joke in comparison.
Probably the real reason is that I don't have the urge to read/consume actual nip material anymore, which is how I learned english and the only way to maintain proficiency as far as I can tell.

you underestimate how stupid anon is, as well as me
I guess learn from watching youtube videos, and then use text-to-speech to read dictionaries. No idea what you would be trying to accomplish with just speaking the language though, it wouldn't be very useful for games anyways.

I wonder how all the silent generation men feel about their great-grandchildren being obsessed with the country they fought and died against
well, they are dead now or they'd be in 90's so I doubt they care
nobody cared about Japan before Pearl Harbor, everyone thought they'd be fighting Germany, no it's not like they hated Jap before
and utterly defeating your opponent makes you not care as much
Vietnam loves American tourists and business now, as far as they are concerned they won the war and think Americans hated it protested for their side (which is sort of true), they blame Nixon above all, no grudges.

This only applies to poor third world countries where being white implies you have a significant amount of wealth or status.
Because Japan is a first world country, being white has little impact on your attractiveness
