>mfw I realize I can't pinpoint the moment I started understanding english
Yeah me neither.
I was around five when I became bilingual, but it wasn't because of video games, it was because of Sesame Street and American cartoons.
For me, it wasn't video games, it was the Pokemon TCG cards. By the time I started playing vidya and accessing the Internet around 2001 I already had basic English skills far beyond what was being taught to me at school.
i remember when my 7th grade english teacher and elementary school principal were floored when they saw my writing and thought i was some undercover literary genius (i might be embellishing a bit, but you get the point) i sometimes wonder if my writing's been stagnant since i haven't really gotten praise for it after that
I tried to coast by in life with my English skills by going for a translator career, but then I realised university sucks ass and is way more work than I expected. Now I'm an electrician.
Frick I fell for the translator meme and I am in my 2nd year
>understanding
yeah there is no point. You don't one day suddenly get it. It's a slow process of learning
>You don't one day suddenly get it.
I did. After lots of learning and hard work, suddenly it all snapped into place. Very suddenly.
>I did. After lots of learning and hard work, suddenly it all snapped into place. Very suddenly.
No it didn't. You understood things partially and you continued to not understand other things that you haven't yet learned
I remember being like 10, watching CartoonNetwork and realizing I understand like 70% of what's said. Blew my tiny little brain. I do think "immersion" doesn't work as good for Japanese. You can watch all the anime from Japan, but if you don't sit down and learn the grammar and vocabulary, you won't get anywhere.
Started by playing Pokemon Yellow, than pushed on with piratedenglish D&D manuals, then english scanlated manga and american comics, then english tv series, then american movies.

I learned a lot of insects and sea creatures from Animal Crossing.

I spent 20 years of my life doing nothing but playing videogames without even thinking about developing any skills, even for fun like writing, drawing, music or anything.
it's already over
this is you in 2033

Toby fox made undertale when he was 18 if you're already past that and not a prodigy you're ngmi
But you're not Toby Fox. Why would you live based on his accomplishments?
Julius Ceasar didn’t take power in Rome until his 30s
The founder of McDonalds didn’t create (well..maybe steal and recreate from the bottom up is a better word) the restraint chain until his 50s
Alan Rickman didn’t break big with Movies until he starred in Die Hard in his 40s
Stop being a defeatist and do what you want to do
English is an obvious one, but I also like to think vidya developed my problem solving skills.
i have learnt English almost entirely just from playing games
also my patience has leveled up through the roof thanks to multiplayer games
and games like bioshock infinite and the zero escape series have expanded my consciousness and helped me on my path of self-realization

Easier to binge reading.

You should be able to read this

I can read this but I do not know what is being said. Like, I know how to read most of the words, and in some sentences all of the words, but I have no idea what the frick is it actually trying to say.
maybe you lack grammar but mostly you just need to read more, ganbare
How fricking long does it take you to read? I swear I've seen you posting about this series for over a year.
KKKB has 749 chapters (so far)
That's chapter 743
You should be able to comprehend this without looking at the spoilered image.

I've been to Japan 3 times though. I know what the Kanji for baka and people looks like. And house. When I'm there by day like 3 or 4 I feel like I'm starting to know Japanese but Tokyo has romanji/english everywhere and even the bigger districts elsewhere are all color coded mass transit.
Japan fricking rules. Great place to visit.
Maybe one day, I'll get to visit it too...
I havent been since covid and people there are still wearing masks and are even confused at mandates but just do it anyway. good luck.
I was in Japan earlier this month.
Less than half the people are still wearing masks. Most people don't bother. Shopkeepers still wear them, so do older people, but there's no requirements for anyone else to do so. I was never asked to put on a mask and never did. Even the few stores that still have signs asking people to wear masks don't bother enforcing it anymore.

What happens if I can read that? Does it cast a spell? If so what spell and how much magic do I need to wield it?
ngl the top-down reading format filters me more than the actual kanji readings
I just can't get my brain to do it

why would you learn another language when whisper and gpt4+ exist?
But that's no fun.
why would you enter a thread just to demotivate people?

12 years of world of warcraft took me from a kid who barely could write a word in English in classes to a C2 certification, and I never studied a goddamn day in my life. Currently working a job in english.
I also have a pretty good vocabulary for armor parts, which is a cool bonus.

I learned to tell left from right remapping controls in Robot Arena.
I learned how to tell east from west by saying out loud
>East is This
and pointing to my right with my right arm (assuming I'm looking north)
I'm learning how to memorize strings of hundreds of random numbers by using PAO and memory palaces. Still need to complete the Persons part tho
yesterday I sat down with an app and relearned hiragana. it took about an hour. i haven't read Japanese for over 20 years, so it felt nice to get it relatively quick refresher. I'm gonna do katakana this weekend and move on to kanji and immersion, but need to find entry level manga and shows
>but need to find entry level manga and shows
Unironically play some old NES/SNES jrpgs. It's almost entirely hiragana/katakana
Why would anyone want to live in Japan? You will always be an outsider and the only spark in that country lies with how some people act in private: the architecture is soulless copy-pasted grids and people act like robots in public, just listen to how they all say “arigato gozaimasu” in exactly the same way in shops
>Why would anyone want to live in Japan?
what does that have to do with this thread?
Well why else would you learn Jap? Bit of a waste of time if it’s just for games
Games, manga and anime. Plenty to enjoy.
I have only used English to shitpost and play video games/watch videos. I have not used it for work purposes or moved from my birth country.
Why would this be any different?
I know how to handle and operate firearms without ever actually shooting the (tested this with an m9 and acr never fired a gun before) and I can now fight in gorrila warfare.
You should be able to shoot me already
