I'm going to try to get back on a regular posting schedule. Alas, there isn't much to discuss. Roomie and I have done most of our Christmas shopping already thanks to the glory of Amazon. TV, mostly, with a few books and movies thrown in. We've also bought holiday cards, which we'll likely fill out in a few days.
I'm still using Doulingo, though I've restricted myself to two units per language per day to keep it from becoming a tedious exercise in frustration. German adjective endings are currently pounding my ass into the pavement and walking it dry. I have always had trouble with them, and unfortunately for me, they're integral to the language. If you can't grasp them and use them correctly, odds are high that the rest of your writing will be an incomprehensible morass of sad WTF that will make native speakers suspect that you've been hitting the tipple or huffing whippets from betwixt a stripper's buxom tits. So I have no choice but to persevere until they sink in.
I'm watching several of Ghostrobo's playthroughs on Youtube. He has an unfortunate habit of abandoning games that don't get enough hits or likes for his liking, but he's affable and doesn't scream or hurl obscenities or wallow in gross, yuk-yukking dudebro assholery and bad sexual innuendo, and he doesn't talk over the cutscenes, so I usually look for him if given a choice. TheRadBrad has a better completion rate, but he's quite impressed with himself and a poor player most of the time. Mangaminx was quite good back in the day, though she's slowed down considerably and changed handles, and there was a British gent who was hysterically funny, but alas, I can't remember his handle at the moment(helloween666, maybe?). All the fun of video games without the lethal frustration.
