Hubbit200 added a new functionality to their review script today and since we’re all obsessed with graphs around here, im really curious to see what kind of data will it show when i have a bigger sample of data, for now i have this:
but it’s hard to get distracted on a review of 15 items, so luckily I just didn’t
I’ll try to have a fancy one tomorrow!
Meanwhile, here’s the graph of the accuracy of the longer review I had today:
and there’s some items in Enlightened that didn’t stick with me all the way there
One really cool thing about WaniKani’s SRS is that those items go back to early Guru, so when I had this moment of like “AAAAHHH, I REMEMBER THIS ONE NOW”, I’ll have a chance of proving it next week, though 疲 still is one that doesn’t stick with me no matter how many times I see it ^^
I allowed myself to cheat a little less on Bunpro today and focus on faster retention of items and whoops, could’ve been a mistake xddd
Not a lot of items are in beginner left, but the state of ghosts is the worst it’s been, so I’ll probably float a lot of items between Ghost 3 → Ghost 2 → Ghost 3 → Ghost 4 → Ghost 3 → Ghost … for a while
xdd
So reviews will keep taking over an hour (1.5h?) for the next forseeable future regardless
…which is really bad news, because I’m 3 days away from starting the first quick level on WaniKani and I am intending on doing them over the course of 6 days each : I xdd
Ahh, Jaanese reviews, how much I love thee.
Life
Also might count as a German bit, but today I went on a research rabbit hole because of a German sciencetuber talking about drinks with sweeteners as opposed to sugary drinks:
and he did claim that they were not only healthier than sugary drinks, but also “probably mostly healthy” in general, and I was like HMmMMmMmMMMMMmM
Well, I was already team Spezi Zero, thanks for the confirmation of my allegiance xddd
It comes with Aspartam and Acesulfam K, according to the research of this video, they are prooobably safe in amounts until liters per day, they probably do leave a trace somewhere in the body regardless, but one has to die of something, let me die of Spezi Zero xdd
But yeah, our breakfasts keep getting bigger because people end up bringing more things, today one girl brought her own homebaked bread and we all were like :DDDDD
We also had some hot spices today and brie cheese, I’m very much appreciating the amount of variety we’re coming up with and I want to preserve the tradition as it goes ^^
Today we yapped about social housing, dating men and Vienna water from the Alps vs Berlin hard tap water, no comparison xdd
…so the breakfast went until 4pm today xddd
Next breakfast won’t be next week though, but we might have a picnic next weekend if the weather is nice ^^
On the note of later in the town, the reason why I haven’t posted any pics of Berlin pride is that pride in the city is delayed by a month compared to the other places, and there’s a huge march at the end of July called Christopher Street Day Parade, as seen over here for example ^^
We already might or might not have plans to go together, so should be fun ^^
And yeah, Kunst am Bau, love this one!
anyway anyway xddd

034: Box of Calamity Route: Hollow Victory
Oho, now that I’ve seen the full scale of Uchikoshi’s setup, it’s like the train aimed for the trainwreck has been launched into the air and it’s started making evolutions and it’s like “WOWOOWOW IS IT GOING TO CRASH OR IS IT GOING TO LAND SECURELY”
it’s so weird to see this bizarre setup played 100% seriously but I’m in for the ride now xdd
This is the best trio at the end, I so much enjoy the company of Hiruko and Tsubasa, they’re my dream team in the best path and even though the title is hollow victory, I think it was a really elegant path and I enjoyed the victory from this one ^^
035
035: Box of Calamity Route: Misguided Pity
…is what I would say if not for the fact that accidentally this ending triggered my Phi senses from one of the endings from VLR when it was too late and everyone knew they would die so they could just enjoy the moment regardless, this ending was just SO COOL on an aesthetic level and I’m so happy they decided to write those few extra lines for no reason other than just the callback ^^
036
036: Box of Calamity Route: Exorcize Plan
I can’t believe this moron Gaku made me chant the a spell a few times for three days at the time and everyone hated us but somehow it worked xdddd
Best terrible ending, that was really amusing xddd
037
037: Box of Calamity Route: Blood On My Hands
扉の内側に入れば安全だ
扉の内側に入れば安全だ
扉の内側に入れば安全だ
LOVED the hallucinations from this path, loved how Sirei’s voice broke up after hiding the secret, but yeah, the secret that it was Takumi’s guilty consciousness was like, meh, I don’t particularly care for it xdd
038
038: Box of Calamity Route: Ghost Unmasked
probably the spookiest and the most messed up ending of the game so far, and i’ve already played Slasher xddd
039
039: Box of Calamity Route: One Step At A Time
thank you for killing us nozomi parasite g’ie queen, that was really nice of you
i like those psychodelic endings, they’re just fun xdd
040
040: Box of Calamity Route: Echoes Of The Dead
so my hot take is that i don’t really like nozomi. it was nice to see the rest of the party team us and just do something about her for once.
also, this ending really does justice to Eva, at least one, so I found this ending to be a really pleasant change, so might be among my favorite endings of this game ^^
I also started doing SF編 and it’s so funny to me how you can stumble upon this route completely unaware just by playing the game as expected and the game dumps the wildest stuff at you completely unassuming and then goes like “oh yeah, if you want to understand what just happened and continue, you’ll have to return here 50 hours of playtime later” xddddddd
I’m day 5 in SF, but I’ll probably have to do 推理編 first to properly unlock the whole SF stuff ^^
See you tomorrow!
