I like singleplayer turn-based RPG with fixed characters the most, like Radiant Historia and some of Dragon Quest. And games with beautiful scenery like Alice Madness Returns and Xenoblade.
I'm not quite into games that let you create your own characters because they don't feel alive to me. Games that set in Japan or in the future don't appeal to me for some reason. I don't play multiplayer games. I get too nervous to enjoy and appreciate it. I think I'm quite picky when it comes to games.
My brother on the other hand he's like the opposite of me. He's a huge fan of LoL even though he doesn't speak a word of English.

Single player RPGs are my favourite too actually, they're like 95% of the games I play. I prefer to create my own characters though, I get better RP that way.
I don't like multiplayer games because my internet is terrible, and every time I disconnect from a game, I feel incredibly guilty.

この文、正しいですか?
>たったそれだけで時臣相手とて不足無く振舞えよう
So I'm trying to read through a game without using machine translations but I can't make any sense of this sentence "「つるはしなんか持って土木作業か?がんばれよ」"
Isn't there supposed to be a subject particle somewhere?
What the hell is なんか?
>>57351257

Is there any difference between attributive and predicative uses of adjective?
example:
He is generous to pay for me.
It's generous of him to pay for me.
Do these sentences mean exactly the same thing?
>>57351179
時臣→時折のタイプミス?
日本人だけど日本語わかんね
>>57351257
>... have/hold THINGS LIKE a pickaxe
The part in caps
>>57351179
正しいよ
fateの話だろ
>>57351339
The meaning is basically the same although there might be some nuance:
>He is generous to pay for me.
Emphasises that the trait applies to the person.
The point is that "he is generous".
>It's generous of him to pay for me.
Emphasises that the trait is displayed by the action.
The point is that "paying for me is generous".
>>57351436
時臣は名前
>>57351257
>Isn't there supposed to be a subject particle somewhere?
Can drop in informal speech.
>What the hell is なんか?
See: >>57351447
Basically in this context it suggests that it's not a tool up to the job.
Also なんか replaces the particle.
>>57351339
>Is there any difference between attributive and predicative uses of adjective
It depends on the adjective
>Do these sentences mean exactly the same thing?
I don't think so.
>He is generous to pay for me.
We don't say this
To me this sentence is meaningless
>It's generous of him to pay for me.
We do say this
Different adjectives make different results
willing:
He is willing to pay for me
It is willing of him to pay for me
happy:
He is happy to pay for me
It is happy of him to pay for me
Maybe the difference is whether the adjective's target is usually a person or a nonperson
The reason the second sentence in each pair is bad is because they use a people adjective to describe "it's," which stands in for a noun phrase which isn't a person.
The reason "he is generous to pay for me" sounds wrong to me is because you say is instead of was. "He was generous to pay for me" is OK. But "It's generous of him to pay for me" still sounds better
>>57351470
ああ
だが公式ではないらしい
>>57351551
Also, I just realised, a good translation for "なんか" might be, "no more than a _" (if it's an insufficient but appropriate thing) or "a _, of all things" (if it's a totally inappropriate thing).

If you disagree with the first two, that's fine. They're really just my opinion. But the third? You don't think
"he was generous to pay for me" sounds way better than "he is generous to pay for me"?
The first one sounds very unnatural. Like the tense definitely seems wrong to me.

What if it's your uncle paying for your schooling? What if a promise has been made to pay for something but it hasn't happened yet?
It depends entirely on context. For an ongoing or as-yet-incomplete action, "was" would be wrong.
>>57351816
ハロー
なんか何気なく聞いたのが大変なことに
置いていかれてしまっている
>>57351827
That's fine. I'm not saying it should always be "was." What I'm saying is that in the past tense is the only way that sounds like a natural statement. If the actual situation doesn't allow the past tense, then the most natural way to say that (using your example) is "It is generous of him to pay for my schooling" or, just use generously instead and rephrase the whole thing. I really can't feel good about "He is generous to pay for me" I just sounds weird

告白することができません、彼は女の子の電話番号にデウスエクスマキナによってに恵まれています。奇妙なエリアコードを気にすることはありません、彼はすぐに彼女を呼び出し、彼女は同様に彼に片思いを持っていることを見つけるために大喜びされています。
彼は女の子に前日の自白を語るときには、次の日には、彼女は当惑した表情で彼を見ます。いくつかの調査の後、彼は彼が呼ばれる少女は、彼が恋に落ちた同じ女の子ではないことを知ります。実際には、彼女がすべてでこの宇宙に存在しません。彼女はあまりにも彼女のクラッシュの穏やか気づかないMC自身のAUの自己、と恋に落ちた女の子のもうひとつの世界の対応、です。
2は、彼らが他の自己の心を征服する必要が武器で他を装備するために彼らの最も暗い、最もプライベートな秘密お互いを与えるために契約を打つようHijinksが続いて起こります。 2がそれぞれの愛する人を追いかけている間、彼らは代わりにお互いに恋に落ちると愛の性質に疑問を始めると、ドラマが続きます。

こんにちはございます皆さん
I would really like to see a good drama or movie about Internment Camps, but I'm afraid that no director would be able to do it justice and that it would inspire weebs to be more annoying than they already are

最初の文を訳せば
You, who have something like pickaxe, work hard at digging
この場合の「なんか」は強調表現で、要するに相手をからかっている。
土木作業は、 construction workだけど、これもからかっていっている。
somethingはstuffにしようかとも思ったが、「なんか」は漠然とした「もの」で、あえて訳さないことも多い。
cf

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
黙れ、誰もお前の話なんか聞いてない。
Shut up, no one is listening to you
「私なんか」は直訳すれば such tsomeone like meだが、この場合は謙遜の表現で、訳さなくとも よいことが多い。
You see?

I'm planning to travel to Japan this summer. My Japanese tutor, a Jap himself, wants to come with me. I want that too since it'd no doubt be extremely helpful to have a native along.
Tutor is available 2nd week of June through July. So normally I'd just get my ticket for sometime then. However, there's a tempting job offer that I might get this summer that fills that exact block of time.
Tutor doesn't recommend going to Japan in late July/early August. So if I wanted to go this summer and got the job, I'd have to go over one of the first two weeks of June.
What it all comes down to is:
If I bought a round-trip plane ticket for, say, June 19 - 26 this week (since the sooner you buy, the cheaper) and then it turns out I got the job and had to reschedule, what would I have to do?
Cancel my plans, get a refund on the ticket, and then have to shell out major money for a shorter-notice ticket (I won't know if I get the job until late April)? Or will airlines work with you if you need to reschedule?
