  I haven't, but I'll keep this in mind for the future -- thanks.

  I believe I was when I tried it before, but it's possible I may have misconfigured things

  I'll give it a shot later today, thanks

  That's good to know. I do have 8GB VRAM, so maybe I'll look into it eventually.

  I'm looking forward to the day where these tools will be more accessible, too. I've tried playing with some of these models in the past, but my setup can't handle them yet.

  To add further context--I'd like to emphasize that an understanding of written Chinese would help with Kanji, but like you said, to a limited extent. When reading Kanji, there are cases where you'd have to be cognizant of Onyomi and Kunyomi (Basically pronunciations rooted in Chinese vs. Japanese). Not as important if you are strictly "reading", I suppose. However, this would also not provide insight when reading Hiragana nor Katakana, how particles are used, rules for conjugation (polite vs. casual, past vs. non-past tense, etc.), further reducing mutual intelligibility. In some cases, Chinese characters may be visually identical to Japanese kanji, yet have different meanings or applications. Traditional Chinese vs. Simplified Chinese is also a whole other topic.

  Examples where there is some similarity:
  JP: 走る
  EN: Run (verb)

  CN: 走路
  EN: Walk (verb)

  Matching characters, unrelated meaning and application:
  JP: 勉強
  EN: Study (noun)

  CN: 勉強
  EN: Reluctantly (adverb)

  Furthermore, Chinese uses Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) word order, whereas Japanese uses Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) word order. Japanese also regularly uses subject omission, so it's important to consider these things if you're moving from one language to the other. Missing an understanding of these differences could lead to pretty different interpretations of a sentence.

  That being said, having a background in Chinese would be more beneficial when picking up Japanese than the other way around, IMO.

  I've always been curious, but I was working through The Odin Project earlier this year--it recommended to use Linux. Been using Windows less and less as the year has gone on.

  Well, if that extends beyond paying to be the default search engine, I'd be happy to take a look at a source if you have one. Changing search engines is also only a matter of a few clicks.

  I prefer supporting browser alternatives as opposed to supporting Google's monopoly of web browsing

  The game will be my first thought when waking up, and my last thought before I sleep.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What game has a great story and is worth the time investment?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I recall the second game getting a lot of negativity for…some reason I don’t fully remember.

  Some of the popular complaints went into spoiler territory. Since I can't seem to spoiler tag on kbin, I'll only briefly mention that they generally centered around one of the main character's choices early on, while also targeting their appearance for being "unrealistic".

  Outside of the story the gameplay is better, the tech is better, the environments are better. Even today it holds up as a powerhouse in these areas.

  I agree overall. I also applaud Naughty Dog for the considerable number of gameplay options and accessibility features. If I remember correctly, someone has even beaten TLOU1/2 who was born blind.

  I’m just trying to remember why a certain subset of people online were going all apey over it.

  Not gonna get into it here, but the lesson learned by the protagonist felt like it missed the mark a bit when looking at the events of the game after things were said and done. Ultimately, I think it's fairly minor considering that's maybe my main and only gripe iirc. I was hoping to revisit TLOU1/2 eventually to see how my thoughts have changed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What game has a great story and is worth the time investment?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Both have powerful stories, and I can respect a narrative that takes risks like TLOU has. I have some gripes with the second's narrative, but I would still recommend it to many. I've also been thinking about it recently, so I'm pleasantly surprised to see it mentioned here.

  Cheers, I got my own lab up and running earlier this year as well.
