I recorded 30 minutes of tips for people settling into Japan. Maybe I should split that

Fun Japanese fact: 便利 (benri) means convenient. At the same time, you will often see 便 in words related restroom (i.e. 便所 benjo) This is actually comes full circle because people often use the restroom at convenience stores in Japan. #japanese #日本語

This was a fun comic on shopping for supplies. I thought these would be like 1 page comics but they actually span multiple pages #fireemblem #feawakening

Two characters shopping. One wants to buy cute outfits while the other wants to be practical, resulting a various comical interactions

Localization is a good thing and can sometimes make changes for the better. But if there's one thing I don't understand about it, it's the tendency to sometimes swap in a completely different word when the original has it said clearly. For instance, if the character says "pardon" in clear English,

Here is a skill that native Japanese students use and is really helpful for understanding a sentence. By breaking down into sections (often the word and particle), it's easier to see how everything relates to each other and the words themselves #learnJapanese #日本語勉強

Good article with good points. One thing I would add is the conclusion is also why having correct grammar foundation is so important. It serves as a springboard to catch up much faster. When you know how a language actually works, you save so many hours

Phew! So after a lot of work, among the everyday kanji list, I have identified that there are around 280 Onyomi and 900 Kunyomi that need to be memorized. This project is gonna take a long time... #learnJapanese

Something I am happy about studying to N2 level is that I can enjoy more content. Even if a game does not have furigana, being able to figure out words or at least be able to look up many of them is really rewarding. Now to get the other 1000 kanji

J. D. Nyle, author of Neostriker @jdnyle.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Man... This year is really just bad news from Sony. My last point of confidence in their products is getting smashed. (This really only affects Japan as the only place with the app afaik, but it was a very handy app and allowed remote viewing of your recorded content and scheduling)

Game design idea: Leave the handholding and characters telling the answer to Story Mode, the difficultly level specifically tailored to just enjoying the story. #sony #insomniacGames

I want to work on some game ideas but still torn whether I should do in Godot or Unity. Still angry with Unity for that stunt they did However, Godot is harder if want to get a job with gaming

Completed Paper Mario: The Origami King! I found this one to be absolutely charming! While not the 'return to form' that some Paper Mario fans wanted, Origami King has so much whimsy and heart in it. Olivia absolutely rocks it as Mario's helper here too. It gets a big recommendation from me!

Idk of there are actually people who believe the new Kirby game is secretly Smash bros. However, did you know Smash Bros. were secretly Kirby games? Kirby has the most development work. Kirby is the primary playable character in story modes Created by the guy who made Kirby Aim for accessibility

So Bloomberg does a better job explaining than Sony? I guess that shows Sony was trying to be respectful to Kojima by not "blaming" him publicly. It also explains one confusion I had bc I recall it had not really started development. www.pushsquare.com/news/2026/09...

J. D. Nyle, author of Neostriker @jdnyle.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

My thoughts on Zelda Direct -When can I buy my ticket for the concert? -humming, music, ocarina seems like a neat accessibility feature -characters are uncanny valley to me. We'll see if get used to it like DK and SF -fujibayashi is a producer now (!) -hoping more games get announced later

What I want from the Zelda direct is if they will finally bring back Four Swords Adventures and use gameshare (GBA to GC stuff is a bit flimsy) I've only been waiting for this ever since the Wii U was said to support multiple gamepads.
