Really love watching Anime in my down time. In the past I have watched well over 100+ series in Dub. Recently I was frustrated waiting for Dub for some later series and newer ones.
Which lead me to watch Subs and I really dislike reading the text, especially when two characters are talking you have text on the top and bottom of the screen! Too much to read at once.
Finally many times there is hiragana, katakana and kanji written for effects or spec sheets and many times it's not translated. I felt like I was missing out on something.
So decided to learn the language. I'm having a blast learning it.
With tech, absolutely nothing. Too busy making stuff. That said, waiting for Vue 3 to launch and then get into learning all the new things with that and seeing what benefits can be brought to existing codebases. Can't wait really.
