Pre-made decks at first, now I'm onto ones that I've compiled myself from television I've been watching.

Somewhere around day 440 of daily Anki reviews for Japanese. My daily study time has halved recently since I cut my oldest deck out of my routine, currently building up my sentence mined deck so that hopefully it'll grow to fill the time soon. Took a brief detour for Toki Pona in January but back on track now.

I'm genuinely kinda obsessed with it right now. Feel like they made a special one just for me. A perfect mix of my two childhood RPG favourites: Skyrim and Fable II.

I liked it quite a lot myself, but I feel like in order to get mainstream audience's eyes back on the show they need to do something really different, really spectacular. Matching the (excellent) vibes of the show from twenty years ago with the same man at the helm is going to feel stale no matter what (regardless of how much I enjoy it as an above-average example of status quo Who).

It certainly has launched in a poor state with missing features, especially baseline things like hotkeys, game settings, etc. But I can tell that even with what I've played so far it clearly has some brilliant gameplay changes under the hood that could propel it to being one of the most mechanically polished Civ games in the series after a year or two of updates and expansions.

I love the eras system for providing a clear chunking of gameplay time as you go through it instead of one massive and unwieldy playthrough. I love the addition of army commanders and the removal of builders. There's so many small tweaks to things that make them finally feel like the ideal version of each gameplay system to me; things function in the way that I think I imagined them functioning when I first played Civ IV all those years ago.

But again, they should be well criticized for the state of the launch, and 2K's greed with regards to the clear plans to sell more leaders and civs as DLC.

I think the "industry standard" tool for ripping is this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_Audio_Copy

Yeah! audiovalentine.com I use it as a personal blog and a portfolio of all the music I've produced over the years. Very indie web feel. Hoping to expand it to more topics and uses. And it's on the fediverse!

They're desperate to manufacture consent against their competition

The Academy loves doing this. Movies that are ultimately harmful to a minority group but appear on a surface level to be supportive, so the Academy pats themselves on the back despite falling hook-line-and-sinker for something like The Green Book or Crash.

It's especially jarring coming from Mastodon, which is broadly more diverse than Lemmy. I've witnessed some really questionable comments here during the last year. I really hope something can be done to improve things. I think a feminist-specific instance might be the best option, much in the way someplace like Hexbear has managed to create a fairly strong community bloc with strong core beliefs.
