Hobbies Wednesday - what have you done this week?

Three weeks ago I decided to bite the bullet and start teaching myself Japanese, so that's what I've been doing daily since! Doing a mix of immersion and actual grammar studying and it's so satisfying!! I feel like I'm learning a bit more every day, it's so cool to listen to songs I've been listening to for years and understand a few new words each time~ My only regret is not starting sooner, I thought I'd be too stupid to teach myself a language... Until I remembered I taught myself English as a teenager by just using the internet a lot, and now my English is better than my Italian lol

Been playing Tears Of The Kingdom again! This time around I downloaded a challenge mode mod for Yuzu that is essentially analogous to Master Mode in Breath Of The Wild. As someone who already beat the game once on the Switch (pre-dump), this is a refreshing and challenging new start. I'm getting one-shotted, enemy camps are more diverse, and I can only eat cooked foods. I've had no issues with the mod so far and I love how the creators of the mod actually modelled completely new horns and other parts for the new golden enemies! I haven't had this much excitement about a mod since True Spice for Pikmin 3 came out!

A ton. Stardew-vally-marathon with wifey, finished another watch of "the wire", did some major coding in our smarthome, built another server, visited 2 museums and one zoo, hit the gym, and gamed solo a ton too. So kinda like most weeks give or take 😁

Modified my nixos config even more, started hosting crafty controller so that ny friend can spin up mc servers easilly.

And like every week for months now trying to force my self ti write for my blog.

Also started working out again after 4 months now that temps outside aren't in negativrles ( metric system )

Got another player to join my weekly One Ring 2e table. We had paused for a while because 2 players left (one for scheduling issues, the other for not liking the game), but with someone new we can start again next week
Not so much a hobby, but I finished the second season of The Wire (first watch). To me it was way better than the first, the story with Frank just hits home so hard. Fucking Ziggy

I tried to setup a ptp connection using Ubiquiti LiteBeam AC5 dishes. But unfortunately there were too many trees in between so i have to refund them.

Other than that set up my entire FediStack(Mastodon,Lemmy,Pixelfed,Funkwhale).

Also configured soulseek(slskd) with Soularr. So overall have been quite busy but definitely reaping the fruits of my labor 😎
