Reply to comment by hollyhoppet in Hello I Am Bad At Communication; I Hope It Doesn't Seem Like I'm Talking Down To You by twovests

Oh yes definitely! I agree with everything you've said - I've been tutoring for awhile and I do pretty much all this. In fact, I'm kind of offended that you assume I didn't know this.

In all seriousness, I'm just Still Bad at reading people even though I do my best. The big problem is over the internet through message boards like this. "Are you familiar with __?" doesn't work as well when communication is over these large time scales.

And there's other times, like trying to convince someone of something based in math, but that's a whole other bag of bananas.

Reply to comment by Caribou in There are so many games, and no way to play all of them. What are the best games, in your opinion? by twovests

Hearthstone is pretty bad!

I loved YuGiOh and Pokemon as a kid, and Hearthstone let me relive a lot of that. But it's full of things meant to get you addicted and if you don't pay money / spend a lot of time on it, you will lose most of the games you play. At least with physical TCGs, you can make proxy cards and play with friends.

Reply to comment by musou in (Mandarin simplified) Chinese is such a rad fucken language u should learn it by twovests

I started with the Hello Chinese. I started using Memrise (flash cards), Duolingo, and LingoDeer as well. Getting streak on them takes about 20 min a day every day.

They all seem to have different ideas about where to start with learning, so I feel like it's balanced to use several different apps, if that makes sense?
