I know I'm not perfect at giving my body what it needs to refuel after a run. Recognizing my bad habits has helped me pay more attention to what I eat. I have been known to rush through my day without making nutrition a priority, so I work hard to prepare healthy snacks in advance of my runs and while the kids are at school.

Sometimes I feel like I am losing interest in Japanese content. I look at the new shows airing at the beginning of a season and barely any of them seem interesting. But the other day I watched the entire Grimgar season in one day, and yesterday I watched all of Boku dake ga Inai Machi. I absolutely loved both of them. I think I'm just worrying over nothing.

that's not your fault, most of the new anime nowadays literally are just generic garbage churned out of the horses ass. there's always a few good anime as well though, you just gotta have a good eye to find it.

>>139758578

Not him, I thought Grimgar was pretty ass. I dropped it at ep 4(?) when a character death was really poorly handled. But seeing that the current state of anime is not superb does not mean you have nostalgia goggles on. The stuff of yesteryear was ass as well, '90s-fags only remember the Berserks and Evas and Slayers and forget all the garbage. Anime's golden age was '06-'13 or so; right now the anime scene is polluted with LN schlock. Magical school, faux-harem, chuunishit, dragged-into-an-alternate-world, only-guy-in-a-girls-school-that-just-went-co-ed-or-some-shit, and CGshit are all becoming common genres and with few exceptions the are all trash. There are still a few good shows most seasons, but percentage-wise fewer than in the last few years, IMO.

I disagree. 2015 was a great year with several giants, and this year is looking pretty strong too (especially this season). Oh and 2017 of course has Fate/extra and other stuff.

New anime are great and I say this as someone who has been watching for almost a decade, you probably lost interest in anime over the years.

Not true. Like I think the music scene of today is better than when I was younger. Soundcloud and Bandcamp and stuff have made it much easier for aspiring musicians to get their music out to the public and there is a near-endless supply of good music coming out for whatever genre you're into. I just don't think the same for anime. I concur with >>139758895, "Nostalgia goggles" is a retarded phrase that present-worshippers shit out for no reason. Just because someone has a negative opinion of something in the present does not mean that they are automatically wrong.

That being said I am going to stop replying now because this clearly no longer has anything to do with learning Japanese.

Yeah, Kill Me Baby is my favorite anime/manga of all time (close second is Joshiraku).

I like dark humor and cute things, and kill me baby delivers a wonderful combination of this. You've got these two cute characters, who constantly run into all kinds of situations, which usually end up with someone getting hurt and a fun amount of cynicism. It's like slapstick, but a bit more dark and with cute as fuck characters.

There's a scene in which Yasuna wants to go catch some rare flat snake in the mountains and has a hammer amongst her equipment, Sonya asks what the hammer is for and Yasuna answers "見つけなかったらそれで適当なヘビを" with this hilarious expression and voice.
I'd say it's one of the best examples of what I like about the series.

Not to mention the low-budget-esque atmosphere of the anime which blends in perfectly with the content. And the dancing at the end.

I'm aware of that.

I'm already perfectly identifiable by the content of my posts discussing the guide, I might just as well attach a cute image to it.
It's also not that tiny of a pool (about 500 images total), it's just that most of them don't seem that fitting since they're either more action-packed scenes, or aren't as well drawn or cute as others.

In regards to your comment regarding the new vs. old guide, I beg to differ.

He was trying to imprint his ego on it, hence the unnecessary changes.

The rest of the people defending it don't care, they just want to defend their general, like bees.

Being an avatarfag is almost never ok.

I thought people on 4chan were more knowledgeable of the controversy so I didn't think I had to say it.

What I meant by "garbage" was obviously referring to the fact that the concept of internet voting and popularity based discussion ordering is fucking retarded.
That's the problem with it. That's the basis for the hate of reddit on 4chan.

>>139768040

>>139768174
I don't mind it too much because smaller subs only get like 10-20 comments per post and I read all of them regardless of votes.

Your post just tells me you understood absolutely nothing I've said.

My whole point was to say that people who think hating reddit is based on the "post quality" or the people using it is wrong.
It's a part of it, but not the main underlying cause of it.
>>
>>139768378
Yeah the main underlying cause is a good portion of 4chan being butthurt haters.
>>
>>139768174
That may be why YOU hate Reddit, but there's more to it.
I don't know about other boards, cause I know for damn sure that the majority of people on the bigger ones are ex-Redditors and throw the word around like /a/ does for /v/, but one of the main reasons /a/ and Reddit don't get along is because of their views on piracy, ロリ, and 3D.
>>
>>139768378
I don't disagree, but in small subreddits the amount of voting tends to be small and most comments end up being presented equally anyway. And in many threads comments are sorted by newness rather than vote amount. I also rather dislike reddit as a whole but when it comes to certain smaller topics there isn't anywhere else to go to discuss them.

I use /r/ssbm for discussion of SSBM and occasionally /r/games for game news. /v/ has, incredibly, actually become worse than reddit over the past few years so I don't have many options. Reddit is not without its uses, but all of its anime-related subs are really terrible and /a/ is better in nearly every way. I hear /r/visualnovels is okay too but I don't visit there so I don't know.
>>
>>139768651
/r/visualnovels only problem is that in the untranslated discussion threads, the vast majority of posters are people learning Japanese and thus their posts ALWAYS talk about language difficulty, how excited they are to be reading in Japanese, etc etc. It's unbelievably obnoxious.

>>139768651

>>139768720
just so you know theres almost nowhere you can go to have eroge discussion in english that doesnt have that shit

in fact all the people trying to learn japanese to that end are running after the carrot dangling in front of them holding the memes created by those involved in localization to their chest

I judge individual communities based on their actual merits. I have indeed visited /r/learnjapanese before and if it were any good then I would be a regular. Sadly it is not though. It's filled to the brim with people who have been studying for six months and don't know the hiragana, wanikani kool-aid drinkers, and idiots who proselytize retarded study methods while demonizing legitimate ones just because they differ from their own choices.

Hm, the last one there sounded a bit like us, didn't it? Even so, here is a lot better than there.

For the most part DJT's methods are absolutely sound: compelling content and overwhelming context. But the one area I feel we falter in is recommending paths for individual kanji study. Among DJTers, RTK is shunned in favor of Kanjidamage, in my opinion an inferior program, even though RTK has helped countless people immensely in learning the kanji. This is because of the retarded concept of pitting RTK vs. vocab in some war, as in >>139769451 and in pic related. In reality this is absurd because everyone has to learn vocab regardless, there is just the option of doing individual kanji study to help you grasp the concept of a character-based writing system.

No comment on Kodansha as opposed to KD or RTK since it is not freely available and I haven't checked it out.

RTK and vocab did have a war, were you not here in 2014? fucking awful.
>>
>>139769603
>But the one area I feel we falter in is recommending paths for individual kanji study

This general has always been about the best and FASTEST ways to learn Japanese. Learning Kanji individually is not within that window.

Regardless there is still a section that talks about it in the guide, and I have seen people support RTK here, the only opinions against it I see are 1. Just learn vocab m8 and 2. Too many mnemonics is a bad time.

>>
>>139770173
Back when OP posted daily kanji. When KD was the standard recommended path for beginners. When learning through vocab wasn't common enough for most people to even understand how it worked. Those were the true dark ages. Any skirmishes since are nothing in comparison.

Now that people are at least aware that you still do learn kanji when you study vocab the stakes aren't nearly as high.

I don't know if it's technically incorrect but in my experience using straight negative for a request is uncommon. もらえませんか (potential negative) or もらえないでしょうか is better.
>>
>>139770173
We must keep that argument going. RTK is frowned upon because the average DJT user is expected to have the mental capacity to learn kanji through vocab alone. Mnemonics are for unintelligent people with poor retention.
>>
>>139770411
>Thank you though.
No need to thank me, I punked out on helping with は・が so really I didn't do anything. Though in the end that was a lucky decision.

You can safely assume that anyone claiming to be Australian on the internet is a giant spider.

>>139770544
I'm pretty sure it's right. It's just the difference between saying "Can't you ____?" and "Can you____?" as far as I know.
>>
>>139770664
Straight negative is more common when you are asking a question that isn't a request for a favor. Something like 食べないか? as "Will you eat"? But if you're asking as a favor it lacks the politeness factor
>>
>>139764375
Do you seriously even need a guide for that?

If you're ignorant enough to think that もらいませんか is the same politeness as もらえないでしょうか while at the same time being overconfident enough to argue about it then I don't think there's any way to convince you of anything.

>think about the people who want to learn for a change instead of your own ego
I'm not the one "correcting" more advanced learners.

This explanation doesn't even make sense. Based on what he's saying, the phrase 勉強しなければならない would literally mean "If you refuse to not study, it won't become." So if you study, it won't become. So you shouldn't study. But it means the opposite. That poster is an idiot.

This game is already hilarious. Thank you to the anons who played and recommended it, the autoscroll html anon, and every non-troll on DJT for getting me this far. I'll come back and ask for help if I come across a line I truly cannot make any sense of, but I'll try to rely on context and the DOJG as much as I can. See you guys later, I'm off to read.

1) It's accurate information, レディット is how it's actually called in Japanese (if not plain Reddit). No harm adding accurate information to a dictionary like Edict which includes terminology such as the name of any Chinese historical figure ever born.
2) Non-malicious. No one will ever be misled or hurt by it's inclusion, except that one autist (who I think is joking anyway)

I just mean that just because the text is spaced closely doesn't mean it's beyond or level or something. If those sentences were shown to you one by one many of the people put off by it could probably read it fine, they just need to learn to focus on one sentence at a time.

Specifically, Suzuno's route.
I know you read it with a guide and thus were spoiled immediately, but for most people, the fact she gets a route isn't evident, or even that there exists a true route after the normal routes, since most moege don't have this. By posting it here, and even worse, adding End and Das Zukunft hat schon begonnen to it, you're ruining the bonus route for people.

But even excluding that, imagine someone reading Mayuri's route. They'd normally be expecting a continuation of the route after the sex scene, but because of your chart they know it's about to end. It takes away the potential of a surprise extension or after story to the route, which is a significant part of some VNs, and something only they can do, since books you always know many pages are left. You might not have read a VN like this and therefore not realise it, but I consider spoiling the fact this doesn't occur to also be a spoiler.

And yet I have a hard time playing Japanese games in English anymore. Some have shit English versions, like pretty much anything that NoA releases these days, but some are pretty good. Sometimes I just want to chill and play a game in a language I'm fluent in, because though I can play anything I've tried to in Japanese, depending on what game it is it can be a breeze (Dragon Quest), or challenging (Fatal Frame III). Other times it's not hard at all, just time consuming when the game uses a lot of kanji and I need to look them up often, though OCR apps on phones helps that. Still slows me down though. It seems the more Japanese something is, like Fatal Frame or Persona, the less I want to play an English version even if I try to convince myself to do it.

yeah he just moused over it with rikai an went "must be it"
>>
>>139778965
Definitely. Not games necessarily but manga/novels, if they were originally in Japanese I can't bring myself to read the English version. It ends up feeling like you're not even really reading the material.

On a similar note, the book I'm reading keeps quoting from Shakespeare (in Japanese), and it's almost laughable because the Japanese version of the lines are so straightforward, it's like they're not really reading Shakespeare at all.
>>
>>139779141

Yeah, it also kind of feels like I'm gimping myself on a learning experience. That was true a few years ago, and I still have a ways to go before I'm even near fluency, but at this point I can afford to play a Japanese game or two in English. Guess I just hate letting learning opportunities slip by.

>On a similar note, the book I'm reading keeps quoting from Shakespeare (in Japanese), and it's almost laughable because the Japanese version of the lines are so straightforward, it's like they're not really reading Shakespeare at all.

Oh yeah, I've seen stuff like that before. Can't recall them off the top of my head, but yeah, sometimes you see stuff like that overly simplified when translated into Japanese, or you see simple and direct statements in Japanese media played up a bit in an English translation.

Jesus, everyone who said Hanahira was baby Japanese wasn't kidding. I have spent like 15 minutes on this line alone. The amount of new grammar is crazy dense compared to Hanahira's "かわいい" and "ひゃあああ" and "仲良しだね、佳織ちゃん" every other line.

>>139779950
>>139779997

Brilliant, thanks. I should have thought of that myself. When doing my daily new words I supplement any words with new kanji in them by finding some more words on Jisho with that specific kanji and onyomi in them to reinforce it. But if I mine too many words to do in one day then I can't do this since the supplemental mined words will show up after all of the others. So this helps, thanks again.

Hanahira was my first and only VN, I only went through it for practice. I remember it being difficult at times, but that was a couple years ago. I haven't uninstalled it yet because I keep wanting to go back and see how easy it is now, but at the same time, it being a learning experience was the only thing keeping me from giving it up out of boredom.

Dunno why I said grammar. The grammar is more difficult now but still understandable, I meant vocab.

>>139780409

Absolutely, thank you for the reinforcement. I am not despairing, though, more just marvelling at the difference in difficulty between two purportedly easy VNs. New words and kanji are exciting, I am looking forward to continuing with this one.

>>139780515

If you have been studying for a few years now then you won't have a problem with it. I am a total beginner and it was baby simple. At first it was not so easy; I stressed over understanding 100% of the lines and how the grammar worked inside of them but once I realized that was a waste of time and focused on understanding the general meaning the rest of the VN was smooth sailing.

Hanahira is pretty generic though. I highly recommend it to any newbies as a confidence booster and intro to VNs but if you are already past that level there's not much point.

>What I meant by "garbage" was obviously referring to the fact that the concept of internet voting and popularity based discussion ordering is fucking retarded.
That's how 4chan works: popular threads are bumped while others are ignored or saged to death. Popular opinions are parroted while unpopular opinions are shitposted to death. The same things are discussed over and over to death because they are popular and doing anything unpopular will be met by hoards of shitposting until it is finally accepted and becomes the new thing that is allowed to be discussed.

Out of all of the shit things with reddit, you picked the ones which resemble 4chan. The first problem that should have been mentioned was a lack of intra-poster anonymity. You didn't even mention that at all. Not even a mention of having to create an account in order to post? Or the fact that the site is designed around link aggregation and not discussion? What the fuck, man - how could you leave those out?

I'm not sure how much is progress and how much is the change in perspective from viewing new words as an opportunity to learn rather than an obstacle to fluency, but making that mining deck is probably the best thing I've done since I started studying Japanese.

It's a pretty silly thing to argue really. Personally I feel like VNs where you don't make choices can't really be "played" though, since there's no real input
>>
>>139783589
VN means visual novel, and you'd read a novel, not play one. But VN is usually just a pretentious term for eroge, which is an abbreviation of ero game, thus something you play.

If you want to say you've played it, say eroge. Only use VN if you want to be a dickhead pretending to be reading literature when playing your porn games.

Alright so i started practicing just yesterday and i've read the guide and im actually doing this part right here http://realkana.com/hiragana/

But is there a certain font from those that i should stick with? the characters sometimes look completely different depending on the font
>>

>>139784063
When I started I put the fonts on random so I'd be forced to learn how they can appear. Not sue if that's a good idea but it went okay.

Later on or now (depending on your level of Japanese), get into the habit of using this search pattern in google, whatever:
「x」と「y」の違い (replace with your terms, obviously)
For example your kanji issue:

http://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q117220121

It would be idea if you made your own mnemonics up but I think the Anki deck in the CoR for RtK has all the mnemonics on the cards.
Definitely use the book alongside the deck, though. There should be a copy of the book in the CoR.

>>139784521
RTK stops providing mnemonics about halfway through the first book. After that, it only lists the primitives and expects you to come up with your own. RTK also covers nearly twice as much (3k kanji) as KD. Personally, I prefer the RTK community mnemonic deck.

Mnemonics go a long way. If they had the mental capacity for rote memorization, I'm sure they'd just jump right into vocab instead. RTK is like a 3 month warmup for retards.

You need the book, or a PDF of the book. Some primitives/components/whatever he calls them have an entry in the book but not the deck, because they aren't kanji by themselves. Some of them can have multiple meanings. Like a kanji will mean one thing, but the mnemonic used when it is part of another kanji will be something else. I hope that made sense. When doing my new cards I would have the PDF open on the left half of the screen and Anki on the right.

Why? I don't get why they try to talk when they're so bad. It's really annoying and I always insta drop them because they clearly aren't competent enough to get a basic understanding before trying to communicate with people.
What also pisses me off is when they want you to send messages in Japanese and they send messages in English, in an attempt to have a conversation with both at the same time. Not only is it cringey as fuck, but it makes it much more difficult to actually have a conversation. And what kind of person would want to keep switching languages? It kills your immersion too having to continually switch.

Fuck some people on hellotalk
>>
>>139786219
Okay, I'll stop messing with you.

It's like working out. Missing one day is barely noticeable in the grand scheme of things. But as soon as you let yourself slip and consider it acceptable to miss a single day, chances are you'll miss a lot more than one day and it suddenly becomes really fucking easy to make excuses until you're putting in so little effort that you're not even making progress anymore.

So if you miss a day, all you can do is push on like nothing happened, but never let yourself think that missing a day isn't a big deal.

The fuck? That's completely normal and polite when you're both trying to learn the other's language. I much prefer it to trading off, as long as you actually get corrections.

Personally I stopped bothering with Hellotalk when after several conversations the only corrections I got were trivial typos

Why do people do this?
We can't read minds.
Not everyone studies the same way and showing an image of the number of reviews done in X amount of time without context is meaningless.

It isn't hard to post an image of a card from the decks being used and explaining what each of them is being used to test and how you test it. Otherwise it's pointless dickwaving with no real room for feedback aside a meaningless pat on the back.

Pretty simple stuff, really. No one cares about raw data.

Anon was trying to get other anon to open up and talk about his study, which is the whole point of this thread. If you think everyone studies the same way, well, I don't know what to say about that other then to ask why you would even bother coming here and interacting with other people studying.
I'll never understand why so many anons here are so phobic to discussion- shitpost memes and anons will argue for hours, ask about what someone is doing with their Japanese and they will either ignore you or get offended at the thought of talking about what they are doing on an individual level.
These threads seem more like Facebook: a place people come to post vague bragging and blogging for memetic response of either empty praise or predictable shitposting.

Language is all about communication and if a person isn't willing to do that in their native language, what hope do they have of ever really getting intimate with other languages? That is a fundamental 「出来ない」right there.

I sometimes remember how I used to fucking fall on my ass trying to pronounce the ラ行 and when the first chapter of よつばと! was like banging my head against a wall. It's pretty funny now and I know that in time that which I'm struggling with at the moment will eventually become a laughing matter. It makes it enjoyable even when frustrating because there aren't really any negative consequences for failing. In anything, the more you fail the more opportunities you have to practice. Failure can be a temporary condition which provides the pathway to success.

If there was only one approach to using that deck these threads wouldn't have so many arguments involving different people studying vocabulary in different ways. It is kind of a common theme to a lot of the argumentation which occurs.
That aside, if and when someone is given unnecessary condescension for asking straight forward questions, it is a bit rich to be annoyed when that is returned to the sender.

It doesn't have to be, there is no reason why a collection of anonymous adults cannot have conversations on a discussion board.

There are plenty of things to talk about in respect to that, though. Humans are incredibly apt at being able to talk at length about things they are interested in, and this thread is the perfect place to discussion such things as we mostly all share a common experience with it.

If /fit/ can spend thousands of hours talking about the intricacies of manoeuvring a weighted bar from near the ground to a matter of inches in the air, then back down again, why do people here seem to struggle or be offended by going into a little more detail as to their study process?

cant you infer why this is simply due to the sheer amount of anki stats posting

the studying is not actually goal-oriented at least not in the short term. do reps everyday, read, one day maybe できる those are the big 3 djt steps

theres no critical thinking going at during any of these points and no goals are being met in the short term. in other words they can do their routine today, you can ask them what new things they got, and they will have exactly nothing to tell you

>the studying is not actually goal-oriented at least not in the short term. do reps everyday, read, one day maybe できる those are the bi
That's like saying baking a cake is putting ingredients into an over then eating it later, then being confused when people ask for a little more detail on the process.

>in other words they can do their routine today, you can ask them what new things they got, and they will have exactly nothing to tell you
This is something I don't buy at all to be honest. People aren't computers and we all go about even the exact same process in a myriad of different ways and this in a nutshell is how we tend to optimize processes over time.

We aren't learning robots with programmed actions which operate inside a bubble. You really aren't giving people enough credit and maybe it is because you would rather make comfortable blanket assumptions about the other anons here, maybe not but it seems like you are either projecting your own experiences of projecting assumptions of how you want the situation to be.

How much data is there? I remember a few frenchfags from maybe late January, talking about learning Japanese and not having any decent resources in their native language. They might benefit from it.

>that moment when you realize how far you've come in nip.

Tell me about it /djt/, how proud did you feel?
>>
>>139792807
T-tell me more about that moment you speak of
>>
>>139792807

I've ways to go still but the first time I realized I could actually follow a story in Japanese instead of seeing a bunch of nonsensical moonrunes was pretty good.

personally, i think I'm probably the worst person in this thread progress-wise. I only know a few Japanese phrases, half of Genki 1, around 100 word and hirigana and katakana and less then 10 Kanji.

it's jack shit, but I still feel proud that I'm going somewhere with it as little as it is. Although I haven't been taking my studying very seriously and only started like two weeks ago.


That said, I will be taking my studying much more seriously from now on.

It usually takes other people telling me for me to realize it, but every once in a while I do have cool realizations. Like when a monthly release moege or something untranslated looks interesting and I can just download it and am able to start reading it instead of being like "I wonder if this will ever get a translation", though I'm not quite at that point with plot stuff and still have a long way to go.

Even small simple things like being able to watch those eroge company moege video skits on April Fools day like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKAC3_UOLKo and understanding everything without having to pause, rewind, or look anything up, even if it's easy moege-tier language. Even just the fact that I'm able to read stuff at all instead of it being random moonrunes like before I started studying is pretty cool.

I have a long way to go still, but I've learned to enjoy the journey. There are plenty of VNs in every difficult range I'm interested in, so I don't really feel a need to rush. I'm just going to read things that interest me while very gradually increasing the difficulty. The only thing I don't really enjoy is anki, but I just re-watch anime on the side for reviews (slows it down a bit, but not by too much) and it's not too bad.

im not sure what to make of the cake thing. is the cake a lie? theres tons of things to do but nobody says much outside of those 3 major points and its usually about the points themselves, not specific things being done within

ive asked people plenty of times about what new things they have to share after posting anki stats

the result is 4/5 never reply with specific things and are defensive in the same way you were originally criticizing. you might not buy it and think people deserve more credit but the proof is in the pudding: another 550 post thread nearly full of worthless shit. find me some good posts lately that i should look at to rethink how i look at everyone posting currently because right now albeit jaded i dont think its irrational

Why don't people like Anki? It's pretty fun. Grammar is the gay evil
>>
Okay so recently I've gotten roseta stone to help me learn Japanese since other methods felt like too daunting honestly. So I'm learning the basic Japanese and saw how they let you choose how the words get displayed. So I was wondering am I doing myself a disservice by making it appear in Romanji? Because I noticed it's a lot easier to pronounce things when I can read it in the alphabet I'm used to.

Alcoholic beverages. If you ask me.

Not him, but without context all the stuff in Anki just goes right over my head, so it ends up being more ineffective than just going straight for compelling content. Or maybe I was using the wrong deck
>>
>>139793544
Grammar isn't too bad once you get used to it. Because I only add words with weird/new readings or new kanji or words I think I'll have trouble with in general, Anki pretty much never gets easier and probably never will get much easier for a long time.

>>139793634
Huh? Core has example sentences and pictures.
>>
>>139791931
What kind of "discussion" are you really hoping to start?
>"how are your studies going?"
>"good/bad"
>"oh okay mine are good lol"

What even is that? It's water cooler talk at absolute best. Of course nobody here is interested in having it.
>>
>>139793662
Not him, but while the sentences help, they don't help as much as full context in a story that you're reading and are personally interested in. There are often times where a word rolls around in Anki and I remember the conversation it was from just from looking at the word or the back's example sentence (I mine the original sentence the word was from).

It might be different for other people, but I find words I mined to be easier to remember than Core/pre-made deck words because of that personal investment in the story I was reading at the time.
>>
>>139793502
This. I wouldn't really have an answer if someone asked me what I learned after doing an hour of Anki. I mean, I could tell them I added a few new kanji to my kanji production deck, went through some new words, and did my reviews, but that's kind of obvious that I did those things. Anki isn't the sort of thing where you learn a ton of new information every day, it's just some side tool to help supplement your studies by assisting with long term memorization by showing you stuff every once in a while so it doesn't slip out of your memory. There's not really anything about it to discuss on a day to day basis.

>>139792417
Ça serait bien si tu pourrais partager les fichiers, merci

Are you supposed to do an Anki deck multiple times a day? Sometimes at the end it says "You finished the deck" and it's done but sometimes it just ends and when I open it up later there's some new words due
