Unfortunately I did not think of that while posting, and I don’t want to just expose everyone’s email without their consents so nope :<

Good brag👍

Hong Kong. I live there. There are a few of us here and there, but outside of the c/hongkong I’ve seen like 2.

New excuse for not thinking before posting

I never read any tutorials on how to use it so I can’t recommend any :/

Since I am mostly importing SVG into the program, I don’t actually need to deal with creating any layers in Synfig. Here are the basics:

1. Drag the play head to a frame where you want things to change
2. Turn on animation mode (main canvas bottom right)
3. Set the interpolation (next to animation mode button). Ease is often a good one
4. Select a layer to edit (you can select multiple)
5. Drag the nodes around to move them
6. Congrats! You just animated those node from frame 0 to wherever your play head is on!

Do keep in mind about some bugs while important Inkscape SVGs:

• If you copied some objects from 1 Inkscape file to another, your gradients are likely broken
• Clipping doesn’t work out of the box. Duplicate the lower layer, group it with the higher layer, set the higher layer’s composite method to “Straight Onto”

There are a lot more small problems above those.

Thanks!

I first have the animation idea brew in my head for about 2 weeks, so I know exactly what scenes there will be. Then it’s just a combination of Inkscape, Synfig Studio and Kdenlive.

For each scene, I first create a static version (i.e. vector art) on Inkscape. Then I import it into Synfig Studio for making vector animation. Finally I put all the snippets together and add sound in Kdenlive.

Ayyy fellow Canto speaker on the same boat

I don’t really watch anime but I want to read Japanese text. I’m currently 2 months in following the Tofugu guide. I spent about a week on memorizing Hiragana and Katakana, and have been grinding Kanjis and vocabularies on Anki since then. At some point I also read the Japanese sentence structure guide from 8020japanese out of curiosity. This combination allows me to learn Japanese much faster at my own rate than pre-designed methods like Duolingo.

Since I’m a native Cantonese speaker, learning Kanji is rather trivial, so I mostly spend my time learning both Onyomi (Chinese pronunciation) and Kunyomi (Japanese pronunciation).

I am at a point where I can read some simple sentences and guess some words base on Kanji (for example はじめる means “start” on my Japanese Wii), but I definitely still have a long way to go before I can do anything fluent. If you watch a decent amount of anime, chances are you can probably learn faster than me.

Doh!

Easiest way is probably through your phone’s hotspot. Connect to a VPN on your phone, and then connect your switch to your phone.

It feels like most players left except the stronger players, who have often higher ranks. I think you may have a better chance in the Japanese player base in case you are not there already, but that requires some VPN setup and causes additional lag.

CurseForge shares a slice of their ad revenue with creators, so getting money simply depends on how many people visited your page. Even if a mod is unpopular, you still get a minuscule amount of money.

I should mention that you get paid in “points”, and these points can be used to redeem money. For example, every 100 points = 5 USD.

I wrote some Minecraft mods and uploaded them to CurseForge. I still get about 5 USD every week. It used to be every 3 to 4 days but I seldomly upload new stuff now. For reference, my projects have 1.6M total downloads combined, 2k weekly.

It’s nowhere near enough for sustaining life, but it’s like pocket money for me to buy games and renew my domain.
