How is Juggling Immersion Going?
Last year I released a post called “How I Recommend Approaching Immersion in Language Learning” which detailed a new way that I had been doing my language learning immersion. Previously, I had pretty much always been following the philosophy of just sticking to one thing at any one time, but I was essentially recommending to just follow what you normally do in your native language, and just stick…
Dao of the Bizarre Immortal: Thoughts on After the Cave
I really enjoyed the opening chapters of Dao of the Bizarre Immortal, to a point where I wrote about it here once I had finished it. While I did look forward to continuing, I did also say “The strange thing for me now is that this absolutely feels like an end to the story rather than the beginning.” You could just add a few more chapters and be done with it, so for me, I placed a high amount of…
MH4U Solo #45 - Grinding the last quest
Something is very wrong with the last quest in the game, very wrong indeed. Just listing the monsters: Frenzied Tigrex, Frenzied Zinogre, Frenzied Brachydios, Frenzied Gore Magala and Apex Seregios is enough to make most hunters turn away and give up completely, but to make things even worse, they are all buffed up versions of those monsters. As I died to the Tigrex right at the start of the…
Nostalgia Trip: Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky
Back when I was extremely into Pokémon, I would just pick up anything Pokémon related regardless of whether or not I actually knew what the game was about, and Explorers of Sky was definitely one of those games. Luckily for me it turned out brilliantly! The personality test at the start of the game did really well at making me actually interested in the premise of the story. I really was a…
I tried HSK6 Test Questions...
When I passed the HSK5 mock exam online, doing so well in the reading and listening that it didn’t matter if I got 0 marks in the writing, I thought trying HSK6 next might not be so bad. Looking at the test questions though, I immediately realised that it was mainly intended to test people on obscure language nobody ever actually uses. Coming back years later, while I still think I was right the…
Jumping Into Yakuza Kiwami
After beating Yakuza 0 I thought my next game would be Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, however that didn’t really work out. I felt completely lost despite the fact that everywhere said you didn’t need to play the first game to enjoy this one, everyone hated me, I had no money, and had no idea what to do, so I just stopped playing and went back to my 3DS classics instead. After that was winding down…
MH4U Solo #44 ACT OF GOG!
My preparation was complete, I had made a completely badass Fatalis Switch Axe Weapon (the True Fatalis Dyaus) and I was ready to go into the fight and try to win! Unfortunately I missed the dragonator and abandoned. Oh… This is definitely part of the reason why I have very mixed feelings about soloing Gogmazios. If you mess anything up it feels like a huge setback and like you will probably…
My Attempts at Cooking
Nostalgia Trip: Dragon Quest IX
Something just feels special about Dragon Quest IX from the moment you load into the game. Angel Falls, the starting village is so beautiful and atmospheric and it just feels so nice and cozy as you go out there and look after the villagers. Something has got to be said about the music and atmosphere that just feels so incredible. You can never get bored of hearing the battle theme or victory…
Mandarin Output Diary #9 - Someone finally said it!
It’s been a while since I switched focus to using more of an immersion based approach of practicing speaking so I thought I’d give an update on how it’s gone! To be honest, it hasn’t gone all too well. While I used a lot of voice notes, I was hoping to improve mostly by actually practicing speaking with people I met on HelloTalk. The problem I’m having though is that time zones make it very…
MH4U Solo #43 - Prepping for Super Gog
Super Gogmazios was next on the quest list, so I went digging for which weapons were the best to use. While I did get far on my first attempt with Hellruin Glaive “Omen” I knew blast damage was a lot less optimal than dragon damage, so had a look at the insect glaives that I could make. There was Le Miracle, the Gore/Chaotic Gore/Shagaru glaive, with 744 raw, 30% affinity, 420 dragon and decent…
Drawing Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
I am back with another drawing! This one probably has to be my most ambitious picture yet! I played Phantom Hourglass roughly a year and a half ago, and it finally clicked for me. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and feeling of the game, as well as the beautiful art style. While there are definitely annoying aspects of the game, particularly the Temple of the Ocean King and the touch screen…
Nostalgia Trip: Pokemon Soul Silver
I think Pokémon Soul Silver was the video game that turned me into an actual gamer. The conditions leading up to me purchasing the game were just so perfect that it hooked me just at the right time in my life. I’m pretty sure I had seen the Pokémon anime, but not very much of it, and to be honest, I found it kind of boring. I enjoyed the Pokémon and the world, but it felt way too slow paced. If…
普通话输出日记 #8 继续学习
大家好！对不起，这篇日记是用中文写的。这毕竟是个普通话输出日记，所以真是个好机会分享我的普通话。听不懂这些内容的朋友不用担心，下篇日记我会用英文！ 这不是第一次用中文写博客文章。之前写中文的目的是分享一下我现在的能力，后来我可以回来看一下我那时候的汉语怎么样。这一次不仅仅是为了分享我的汉语怎么样，我也想要用这个博客文章分享一下我怎么学习输出，怎么修改错误。 你这里看的内容都是我亲自写的。我没有翻译，没有用AI。所有的内容都来自我的心里。我的计划是先写这篇日记，然后解释我哪里犯错，继续学习怎么正确的用中文表达自己。对了，我是英国人所以不要用这些学普通话。 我一直觉得犯错没问题因为犯错才能让你知道应该做什么变好，所以我不介意在这里犯错。谁都会犯错！我真的不管面子。 我最近犯的错是说“我想来中国” –…
MH4U Solo #42 - SILVER CATACLYSM
I had finally gathered all the materials needed to make the Universus insect glaive, but I still needed to actually craft it. This turned out to be a lot more annoying than I realised because I needed 5 demon drugs, avian stoutbones, and flutterflys right at the last minute. I had to save and reset a few times to make sure I didn’t mess up the build! Once I finally had my cool new insect glaive…
I Finally Completed the Pokédex in a Pokémon Game!
When I left for China I thought I’d give up completing Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, but I was only half right. That post was written in May 2025, and now in May 2026 I am finally releasing my thoughts after completing all of it 100%! That’s right, I completed the Pokédex and visited every single place! It was a lot of fun! When I was writing my completed thoughts last year I was mainly…
Nostalgia Trip: Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D
Just watching my friend play Ocarina of Time on the 3DS was enough to make me confident that I wanted one. I had grown up with regular DS graphics, and the level of detail and beauty on the 3DS version seriously blew me away. I couldn’t believe that they managed to fit a game so big and beautiful on this tiny system! Of course it didn’t take me long to pick up my own 3DS on my 12th birthday…
