どうぶつの森 project update

I got the idea to see if i could run two roms next to each other so I could reference english and take screenshots. However Animal Crossing Wild World doesnt have furigana so its not ideal for noobies.

Your attitude matters

A more senior member of my team gently chided me today. I expressed doubts that someone would do the right thing if there was no ticket / incentive to correct what could be considered a weakness in the design. I was worried that they would go on to use the same design with the same weakness in the future. "You must expect the person we're talking about to do the right thing T. If your attitude doesn't reflect that you may even encourage them to do the wrong thing. " I wonder if our attitude leads to insecurity? Certainly I'm stubborn enough to do something stupid out of spite. -T

Making stickers

どうぶつの森 project kickoff

Quarantine gave me time to play animal crossing and i realized it could be good japanese practice... So im going to start cataloguing things and vocab. Dont know about the lay out this will take but I usually enjoy making things up as I go along. So far Ive realized even my ability to read Hiragana and Katakana has degraded significantly but its coming back quick.  Tools I'll be using jisho.org for a lot of the quick and dirty translation work. Maybe Ill add a section on using it to search words. Started using the Jsho app on my phone and its pretty good too.
