Gamer Diary - Aug 2018

Kinda reviving my blog...but this is not going to be a substantial post.
I've been collecting quite a bit of a gaming backlog over the years since I've started working, and since I'm quite bad at reducing it, I'm planning to do some short posts to track my progress.

It's already halfway through August, but with a public holiday next week and a long weekend at the end of the month, hopefully I can put some gaming hours in.

Games of the month:
Persona 4 Golden (Vita)
Mario + Rabbids (Switch)

Especially Persona 4 Golden, I've already identified the culprit and am close to the boss fight, let's get on with it so that I can reach the story parts that I care more about, heh.
Mario + Rabbids is for the times when I want a quick session, still at World 1 so there's a long way to go. Really fun and surprisingly quite deep in strategy, and much more colorful than X-COM. Now if only I can play X-COM on the Switch too...

Are you trying to up your Japanese reading skills? Have a set of electronic reading materials, but don't know which one to start with? One way to rate them is by how easy they would be for you to read, so you can pick the level you're comfortable with. To do that, you'll first need a text list of words you already know, and then use that as an input file to the Japanese Text Frequency Analyzer tool. An easy way to get the list is to use the Morphman plugin in Anki (I'm assuming you're using Anki. Find out how to export the list if you use another SRS/flashcard system). What you'll need: Anki Morphman Anki Plugin cb's Japanese Text Analysis Tool Steps: 1. Ensure your database of known words is up to date by forcing a Morphman Recalc. You can do this by using the Anki tools menu or the default shortcut Ctrl+M. If there are words you already know that are not in Anki, see this section of MorphMan Wiki . To make things easier for m

Another Rainmeter setup

Because I like dark wallpapers too. Current desktop Alternative wallpaper Details 10 Foot HUD YBoris edit skin for the time and date Enigma Now Playing skin Dynamic quotes skin by me. Uses the quote plugin to display a random lime from a text file. Notes skin to display my to do list.

Uptime skin by me Autobahn font for my tweaked skins Lamp wallpaper by CL88 Aurore wallpaper Why use Rainmeter? I've tried Rainmeter before but it never stuck because I didn't really get the point of it. That is, until I read the Lifehacker primer and it clicked together for me - it's widgets! (I highly recommend the article, especially the section on glossary.) It's just like Yahoo Widgets (is anyone still using these?) and Windows Gadgets, except you can get all the widgets ("skins") in a matching col

A Sleek Look For Steam - Metro Skin

If you're a PC gamer it's almost inconceivable you don't have Steam. Did you know it's actually skinnable? My favourite is the Metro for Steam skin. Give it a try if you like the look, it's very easy to use and the download website also offers customization options.
